Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted August 25, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 25, 2009 Hmm, editing posts seems to cause it to hang up. Still getting some random jumping (vertically) as I'm typing this. It's kinda like the page isn't sure where it's supposed to be. Also, can we have the "back to top" button next to the report button re-installed? Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

Members D.A. Kabatoff Posted August 25, 2009 Members Report Posted August 25, 2009 Johanne, thanks for taking the extra time to keep us updated with what's going on... makes it less frustrating when you know someone is at the controls and trying to get things running properly. Bob mentioned haveing to sign in everytime he hits "new posts". I have a different problem... when I open Leatherworker.net there is no button for "new posts". When I hit the button to "sign in", the "new posts" button appears and so does the fact that I'm still signed in (I don't actually have to sign in again... it's just not apparent on the first page that I'm acutally still signed in). Not sure what any of it means but there you go. Darc Quote
Members whinewine Posted August 25, 2009 Members Report Posted August 25, 2009 I still have to sign in each time I leave & reenter the site. I still don't care for it. AT ALL! It's going to need a lot of 'new & exciting features' to make me say WOW I REALLY LOVE THIS SITE ABSOLUTELY JUST BECAUSE IT'S NEW & EXCITING & HAS FEATURES I REALLY NEED & LOVE BECAUSE IT'S JUST NEW & EXCITING... Sorry, I still need to use a different browser to use it because my old browser won't support it & locks up every time I try to use it & that's a PITA.Everything else is on the other site with the old browser- emails, general news, favorites,- everything else... To read this stuff, I need to go to the different browser. AND: Each time I try to read a post, it seems that that post is SO VERY, VERY LARGE & (not) EXCITING & GOES ON FOREVER instead of before. I guess these posts are now for "the visually deaf?.. :wtf: I know I'm being facetious, & I really do like change, because I get easily bored, but when I'm just trying to garner information, this really gets in the way of facts & information & useful stuff. I'm trying to be patient & NOT trying to be stodgy, but I'm just damn frustrated! Thank you & I'm going to bed. It's been a very long day. russ Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted August 25, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 25, 2009 PM messaging acting rather bizarre when replying to a PM all kinds of weird warnings come up and can't tell if the reply was sent. It will all come out in the wash I'm sure. Looking good, love the colors and it all seems quick enough and easy to read. Chat did freeze up but I could never get it to work before either. I think Ubuntu/Firefox/Flash or something like is messed up on my system because some other sites I go to occasionally do the same. Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted August 25, 2009 Author Moderator Report Posted August 25, 2009 Russ, I'm sorry. We're working on it right now, and I am pretty sure we can get the kinks worked out and running smoothly again, despite the new features. In the meantime, use the lofi version at the bottom of the page in the drop down menu until things are right again. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but the security updates and other stability issues require that we update, and I'd rather do it it now than before the old board crashed. I promise we won't quit until we get things satisfactory again. Thank you for your patience. We really are trying to bring everyone a better board.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted August 25, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 25, 2009 Russ, check the settings on your browser. If you have it set to clear cookies every time you close it, then you will have to sign in every time. This places a 'cookie' on your computer that acts kinda like an ID tag, telling the forum that you are a member. Also, when you do sign in, see if the "remember me" box is checked ( I think it is by default). If it isn't, the cookie won't be deposited. Lastly, while I'm far from the browser expert, there are some folks here that are pretty dang sharp with them. If you let folks know which browser(s) you're having problems with, I'll bet the gurus will chime in and help you figure it out.

TomSwede Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 New look caught me by surprise yesterday and I haven't had the chance to surf around to much but the general feeling I have is that it doesn't differ too much from old look that I have much problems finding my way around in here. Good work Johanna and everybody else working with the upgrade!!!

Suze Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 As of this afternoon it still didn't like my Internet Explorer Opera is working though..... Of course the IE problems could be at my end, too. I have had issues with it before. till a friend came over and "slapped it around some" Quote Reality is for people who lack imagination Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right. ~Henry Ford
Moderator bruce johnson Posted August 25, 2009 Moderator Report Posted August 25, 2009 Suze, I am using IE and not havng any problems, other than sometimes instant load and sometimes a lag time. I am catching emails from a couple of members who are unable to get on at all or freeze up when they can. I think more doughnuts are in order for the staff working on this.

Suze Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Bruce - everytime I tried to go anywhere - the durn thing went into "everthink" and then just stopped responding altogether. and if I did get it to go past the first page I had to sign in again and then it went into "everthink" and stopped responding altogether..... as I said it could just be settings in MY machine.
