IndyGuy4KI Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Well, I was typing a response to Snowman, but I discovered another new feature I like: the forums notified me of a new post in the thread and gave me a link to show the new post without losing what I was typing. It saved me from cluttering up the thread with a duplicate answer. I like that. Awesome had not seen that myself. Very cool feature! Quote
standbyme Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Has anyone else noticed that in the members on-line list Google & Yahoo are "here" a lot...is that because this version is new and they are scanning it...or just that this version shows their presence and they old one didn't? Quote
Dane Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 I just realized when I clicked a link, it opened into a new window instead of opening in the same window. Thanks so much for that change Dane!!!!! That was one of my pet peeves too. Dane, Is it posibble tu add a speel chick bottun? The new format really looks great. Thanks for the hard work. I recommend switching to Chrome or Firefox for a number of reasons, including built in spell check. Has anyone else noticed that in the members on-line list Google & Yahoo are "here" a lot...is that because this version is new and they are scanning it...or just that this version shows their presence and they old one didn't? The old one showed their presence as well but I believe it may have been hidden from public view as a anonymous member. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Nevermind, thanks Gator! ^That's the way rotag wanted it, so they did that for him. im kinda wanting to know what this was, as im a little confused now... EssentiallyCoaster had posted that your "KIC Star Member" was backwards, thinking that it was because of the change. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 ^ As a side note, I think "KIC Star Member" is out of date for rotag. Other users with nine gray dots under the avatar (which I believe correlate to the title) like standbyme are titled "KIC Platinum Member". Quote
rotag Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 guess i should ask to have that switched to a "rebmeM munitalP CIK" then. (since i think a lot of people would be confused by "backseat airtime junkie") Quote
standbyme Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 As a little heads-up to anyone else who might not have noticed yet...since I just did...you have to reset all of your notification settings...such as if you receive a PM you will receive an e-mail. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Speaking of which, one of the notification options reads, "Notify me when someone 'likes' my posts". So where is this "like" button, or is the feature not turned on? Quote
Dane Posted August 12, 2011 Author Posted August 12, 2011 Speaking of which, one of the notification options reads, "Notify me when someone 'likes' my posts". So where is this "like" button, or is the feature not turned on? Ill turn it on as a test. Quote
CoastersNSich Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I like the new look. As a font/graphic design geek, I like how stuff appears in Helvetica (since that font is in my system BTW), Quote
Oldiesmann Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Really like the new look. Thanks for all your hard work! Quote

I'm a little indifferent to the "Like" feature...it doesn't actually bother me...but I think it tends to make some people a little lazy and not post their feelings. (It will be ironic if someone simply just "likes" this post!) 2 Quote

I haven't "liked" anything yet today. Quote
Avatar Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Dane is aware of it and is working through the new features. The "Like" button is only a test for now so we may be more consistent with testing, just like the park. Another nice feature for those who post long post like trip reports. The post box has a auto save feature and shows when the last save was done. Thanks Dane I believe this is some of your best work yet. Quote
rsipus13 Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 hey guys.. this is rsipus13.... i had to create another account because i cant do anything on my other 1.... i cant post anything and i cant see half of the things.. ill try to get a picture of what im talking about...... but i cant do anything since the update......help!!!!!!! Quote
Avatar Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 rsipus13 You probably know by now as you are able to see this with your regular account now. I have merged the new one you created to make your last post into your old name. As I went through your settings it looked as if somehow the board skin got changed. When I set it at the default community skin and refreshed from your account it looks normal. So I believe, nothing more needs to be done on our end at this point unless you indicate further action is needed. Please remember I reset your password so you should change it back to your old one or make a new one. Have a great afternoon and sorry for all your troubles. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I just tried KIC on my phone since the update, and I do not seem to have a mobile version. It looks the same and when I click on use mobile version it refreshes, but nothing changes. Anyone else seeing this? I am using a droid. Quote
Avatar Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Nope not me, it worked for me right away and i like it better. I believe you have an IPhone like myself so no clue why it will not switch for you maybe power off and then power up to see if that helps. Good Luck. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Previously, when I brought up the forums on my dumbphone's mobile web, it automatically gave me the mobile skin. Now, it's apparently trying to load the full version, because my phone just returns the error "Page Too Large; Open Mobile Site". Quote
muppetfan1999 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 When the like button is fully up and running will you be able to see if and how many people have liked your post? Quote
Dane Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 The like button is all set up and functioning properly now. 7 Quote
Avatar Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 So how many "Like This" does each members get per day or is unlimited? 1 Quote
Dane Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 I have it set to 3 per 24 hour period. And once a post gets 40 likes it is featured/highlighted. 1 Quote
kingsrattler Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Crap, I only have one more, I better use it wisely Quote
Avatar Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I tried to link to a page but it did not allow me to attach it to a word. Like the info can be found "here" with the link inside the word here. OK I got this figured out and sharing it here in case those who have not figured it out will know how to link a page with a word or words. Type the word/words you want use to link to another page like Terms of Service. Highlight the word/words using you mouse then click on the "link: icon in the post box, another small window will open up and put your link in the proper box. Click OK and it should look like this Terms of Service . Good Luck everyone and I hope you all are enjoying and appreciating Danes hard work. Quote
standbyme Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I hope you all are enjoying and appreciating Danes hard work. So far enjoying may be a stretch because I have to get used to all the new fangled stuff...but I definitely do appreciate Dane's hard work. Quote

I believe you have an IPhone like myself so no clue why it will not switch for you maybe power off and then power up to see if that helps. Good Luck. I actually have a droid x and after a reboot and clearing of cache, I still only get the normal version even after clicking the mobile version. Is it just me or do others see the same issue. I know I am not the only member with an andriod phone. Quote
coaster_junky Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 nope, i have an evo 3-d and it also only brings up the full site. my phone can handle it though, so i'm not too worried about it. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Brings up the full site on my Nexus S 4G as well. I was able to get into the mobile version by tapping "Change Theme" at the bottom and then tapping "IP.Mobile". Unfortunately though that means you have to change it back to the full version again when you log back in from your computer, but it's better than constantly having to zoom in or out to get around. Odd thing is though, when I go to another forum powered by the same version of IP.Board, it loads the mobile theme just fine. Quote
