I am sure Dane will be addressing this along with the other items in this thread as soon as he can. I can go in and clean up the interests of users, but let's see what Dane can do on his end first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ding Dong Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I know you all have been working really hard and it is much appreciated. This is very minor and not a big deal but the ability to change the text or your "rank" seems to be gone, at least I can't figure out how in edit profile anymore. On a lot of forums that ability is not enabled until after X number of posts so with the new software the counter may have been reset to zero. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 A couple of things I've noticed: 1) It's hard to distinguish which threads have been read and which haven't. I'm not seeing an indicator for threads that show there have been updates/new posts (such as bolder text or a bubble next to the thread). 2) When you do actually click on a thread where you click to read the most recent post, it doesn't take you to that post. It takes you to the top of the current page. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes you to the top of the current page. Unread threads have two distinguishing features in the thread list: they have bold text for the title, and a blue (light theme) or white (dark theme) circle or star next to them. Clicking that blue or white circle or star will take you directly to the first unread post. A star means that you have previously posted in that thread, otherwise it's a circle. If you have previously posted in a thread but there are no new posts in that thread, then you will see a light gray star, which does nothing when clicked on. (Note that I'm referring to the desktop version here. I don't know what one might see on mobile.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm mainly talking outside of specific groupings (I think that's the proper term). I grabbed these screen shots before opening this specific thread: There isn't anything specific saying that there was a new update to the different forums. They all look the same. As far as the stars go, I've clicked a few stars and it sends me to the top of the most recent page. (I'm on my laptop using the desktop version). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a problem with the dark skin (named "KICentral (Default)"), where the only indicator that a forum has new posts is that the thread title in the right-hand column is bolded (you can see this thread's title bolded in your screenshots if you look closely). On the light skin (confusingly named "Default"), forums with new posts are far, far more obvious. 2 hours ago, chugh43 said: As far as the stars go, I've clicked a few stars and it sends me to the top of the most recent page.

malem Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Chris: Is the problem fixed regarding not being able to tell which forums have been read? I fixed a small bug in the theme that broke the read/unread CSS rules for those titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Once you open a topic, like Kings Island the unread highlights and stars are there for each thread. (That is for me anyway, but not sure if it worked different for a mod or not?) I did not notice if they were missing before Malem's fix..

Oldiesmann Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Nice to see an upgrade again. Hopefully we won't end up accidentally locking Terpy out like we did when the software was (briefly) upgraded last time. So far I haven't really found many issues except what's already been mentioned - some notification options are disabled, no signatures, etc. Also, a couple things that I don't think have been mentioned yet... Is there a way to get rid of the "topics" sidebar on the main page? I would prefer to hide it and have the main forum stuff take up that space instead. Will there be a "widescreen" option? I'm not a fan of fixed-width layouts (again space that could be occupied by content) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the main page, it looks just like a bunch of links, like this: The only thing that indicates a new post has been made are the dates/times on the right of the forum. Also worth noting and asking, adding attachments there isn't a way to tell where they'll be uploaded in your post that I can see, is there?

Creed Bratton Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Correct, but in previous versions, the forum topic would be highlighted to let you know that there is at least one updated thread in that forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex lover Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks for the update! It really nicely integrates Material Design. Im so happy you are finally able to upload photos. I used to just use my phone because of the hassle of photo hosting sites. But now im able to much easily upload them straight from my computer. Love the update! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After fixing the bug, forum titles with unread content appear bold, with read forums title appearing normal. There's also a slight difference in background color, but this is currently hard to see on some displays. If you haven't seen any changes from before, you may need to force reload (ctrl+shift+R) the page. We might tweak this further in the coming days. One thing I have noticed is that my phone battery drains quickly if I keep the new forum in a mobile tab. Not sure if this is affecting others, or if it's related to extra notifications I get as a moderator. Is anyone else seeing this? Thanks again for all the feedback on problems; keep the reports coming if you see anything else! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Tapatalk was giving me errors after installing the updated files on the server. I had to force close/close out the app and I haven't gotten any errors since. I have been alerted to some people that have created multiple KIC accounts using the same email address and now they system is locking them out from any KIC account created after their first. Please hit the contact button with your details below to correct it. (Along with a reason why you have multiple accounts ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Would just like to thank KIC admins/mods for putting such an effort in updating the site... it really does look spiffy and I am now completely content with Tapatalk back up and working.

malem Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 ^ I checked the server logs. The IPB upgrade removed Tapatalk's column from the user table, and Tapatalk didn't add it back because it thought it should already be there. I manually added it back, so it should work now.

malem Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 ^ Editing has worked for me this morning. I removed the duplicate post for you. You seem to be connecting to KIC through a webhosting provider; it's possible that it's an issue with a proxy server you're using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Today I was finally able to log in using Tapatalk, so I think what you fixed worked for me. Is anyone else experiencing frustration that to go to the new posts on a thread, you click the little icon to the left, but to go to the new posts in a forum you click on the text? I keep accidentally either marking a forum read when I want to see its posts, or going to the first post of a thread because I clicked on the title rather than the icon. Can't seem to keep it straight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
