Site Upgrade

[The Computer Audiophile]

Hi Guys - The site has been upgraded to a new version of software. It enables some really great features that I'll be implementing shortly. Please bare with any hiccups we may incur in the next few days. No data was lost including user post count etc... I'll have it back on the forum in a few hours :~)

 

[The Computer Audiophile]

Thanks to PeterSt for letting me know about some minor kinks, that have since be remedied. If anyone else notices something wrong or has a question about the way the site is functioning please comment in this thread.

 

 

Note: If the forums are not displaying the way you want please make an adjustment using the Comment Viewing Options at the top and bottom of forum thread page.

 

Here is a picture of what it looks like. Please don't try to adjust the setting by clicking on this picture :~)

There are issues with Preview Button not working. I'm researching it right now.

 

[CharlyD]

I don't recall if it was supported before the upgrade, but there doesn't appear to be a feature to edit original postings.

 

[The Computer Audiophile]

Hi CharlyD - You should be able to edit posts once again. Thanks for notifying me.

Hi Chris

Have you considered the possibility of providing "emoticons" such as "Wink" , "smile" "grin","shocked" etc.

Sometimes the meaning of words can be misinterpreted, and a simple addition like that, often gives a clearer intention of what the poster is trying to get across, without confrontation.

Regards

Alex

Nothing really bothering expect for some sponsors maybe. This is the subscriptions overview (see attachment). Maybe has been there for always.

Chris,

 

this is very minor, but...

 

When presented with the option of preview or save, I kept looking for the 'submit' button from days gone by.

Hi Clay - I agree, Save doesn't seem like the right option. Not sure if I can change it, but am going to give it a shot.

Google Chrome on a Windows computer was reporting that the site *may* be infested with some malware. (No such pronouncement on the Mac version...)

 

Just passing it on.

Question:

Seems like that, in the past, whenever we'd edit a post (sometimes happens 2 or 3 times before we get it right ) the email subscription alert system would rebroadcast each edit, and our email inboxes would fill with basically redundant posts. Is this still the case (it isn't with many other forum servers)?

 

[The Computer Audiophile]

Hi CG - Thanks a ton for letting me know about the Chrome warning.

 

Hi Ted - You can change all your subscription settings so you won't receive notification on each edit. Please let me know if this is not the case for you.

 

[The Computer Audiophile]

I just checked the site with Chrome and no such warning came up. Hopefully someone can let me know if there is a certain page or browsing pattern that causes the warning.

 

EDIT: I just received the message and it's being caused by one of the banners. Phew! That's an easy fix.

 

[PeterSt]

Hi Chris - Only yesterday I found that the Preview *does* work at creating a new thread. And ... you may be looking at that instead of replying to an existing thread ?

 

IOW, the Reply still doesn't allow the Preview. Maybe you are not aware of that ...

Chris,

 

What about adding Owner sections that are split into Manufacturers. With Empirical, Weiss, XX High End, Wavelength and Sonic Studios on this site it would be great as CA is the leading Computer Audio forum.

 

Thoughts? Anyone else think it's good?
