I like the new look! Change is good, and this is refreshing.

 

I do notice that when I click on any of my unread topics it takes me to the first post, not first unread. Still indexing, perhaps?

Looking at this now. Topic titles bring me to the first page, clicking on the time of the post brings me to the actual post. Trying to get the title to bring you to the first unread.

Send me a link to that activity stream. Is it a custom one or standard?

 

Custom. https://audiophilestyle.com/discover/34/

 

Regarding unread... I notice I now have to click on the blue dot to the left of the topic link to go to first unread. The link itself goes to the first post. In the previous version of the site, the link itself took you to first unread.

Chris, I get the motivations for summarizing notification emails (...) but any chance for premium subscribers to get the full contents?  I mainly keep up with conversations through email, and click through when I have something to contribute.  Alas, I'm having to click through on pretty much every notification (which isn't going to happen)

 

 

This was enabled by default with the upgrade. It's on my list to adjust, if it's possible. Seems like a major change to switch on by default. I'll do my best.

I see the same thing. I opened a thread on the vendor's site to figure out what's up.

@austinpop Can you try the Activity Stream now and click on the title of a topic? It should bring you to the first unread post. 

[austinpop]

Yes it does. That’s great!

 

But I still see more than one listing of the topic on the stream. Earlier posts show up as separate entries. Do you see it too?

Yes. That's next to tackle :~)

Wow, the first impression is - I was  blind, now I can see! All is much clearer now! 👍

I'm not a huge fan of the top two stripes (I dunno.. maybe some shading of the white background behind the AS logo.?) and the AS logo (not bad, maybe somewhat too.. feminine  for a site like this).

Chris, 

 

Thanks for your constant efforts to improve this place.

 

A couple of things I noticed.

 

1. Post numbers have disappeared

 

2. The reaction bar ( not sure of precise name) is funky for me (Safari 12 on Mac):

I’m working on post numbers. It sound crazy, but post numbers are a custom modification. 
 

Looking at the reaction bar now. 

[AudioDoctor]

Liking the new look so far!

Is there a dark mode now?

Was also my immediate reaction - the logo said to me, "Hey, I feel my feminine side coming out  ..." 😉

Also, noting in Polestar that the sorting is still not, er, sorted ... sometimes works, sometimes not, e.g. titles always in Z to A order - meaning, readers won't trust that they can find what they want.

[fas42]

For consistency, the blue colour of the left hand column icons in Activity, Unread Content should match the darker blue used elsewhere - current colour is, er, too feminine, 😉.

Can't reproduce this one. Perhaps it's a cache issue.

I've only finished chapter one in Frank's book of design :~)

Hi Chris:

On the main forum page--the one that lists all the sub-forums--when you get down to the Sponsored forums, the logos next to both Sonore's and UpTone's forums are now lightened to the point of being almost invisible.  Anything you can do to fix that?

Thanks,

--Alex C.

Maybe Chris is attempting to soften us a little bit

Hi Alex, two things. 

 

1. It gets very light if you've read every post in that sub-forum. 

2. We can work with the logo a bit if you want this to be darker, but it will still be somewhat grayed out for people who've read everything there is to read in your section :~)

Speaking of iPads, I wish I knew why Audiophile Style is about the only site where I near constantly have to touch a link twice to get it to respond. Drives me nuts (though admittedly that's not a very long drive.) 

Please check this now Alex.

Oh btw, Chris, my topics still list me as "topic moderator," but I don't see any of the moderator action options in the posts. Effectively, I don't have moderator privileges.
