Site Feedback

Ok so no pages but can you search a thread to easily find posts, or search a certain poster to see what they’ve said?

[/quote]The search function top right hander will do just that very well. Probably easier to use than on VB.

Alternatively, if you want to find and read all of a particular members posts in one thread, click on their profile while viewing the thread and you’ll get an option to look at all their posts in the thread you’re looking.

For example, if you click on my avatar, and you’ll see it says “20 posts in topic” Then all the posts from that member will appear in a seperate page. Bit like on the old site really. So handy to have that feature still :slight_smile:

Oh and another thing. If you go to the very top of the first post in a thread, it shows every single member who has posted in the thread, and you can click on and it’ll go directly to their lists of posts, neat eh?

How do I make it so I don’t get e-mails about posts in a thread I make?

[/quote]Click your avatar top right hand corner.
Next, click the little circle called Preferences
Then, scroll down until you get to the section where it says Email.
Here you can choose to tick what you want or don’t want email wise to be sent to you.
Once you’ve made your changes, click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

I’ve pretty much unticked all of them myself as it;s rather unnessary to get emails about it.

Hope that helps bro :+1:

Thanks mystical.

Regards the new site I like a lot of the features I just wish the layout with the different categories could be the one you see at first, instead of just a long list of the most recent posts. Makes it a bit chaotic and hard to go to what interests you. For now it’s fine since there’s not too much activity but I can imagine when the site is at full potential it will be a bit offputting.

[/quote]No problem!

And it’s a good point. I don’t mind the Latest Posts being the main thing for now but over time as it gets bigger Categories might just need to be the main one.

I made a small poll here about what option are members using to view the site and atm it seems latest posts wins hands down http://community.onlinearsenal.com/t/viewing-the-site/230

Initially put me off too but I’ve adjusted and the new posts section is by far the easiest I think, and not once did I use that button on VB. :slight_smile:

New place looks fresh! Will take some getting used to though!

You can bookmark posts now so you can save them if you need to. I like this feature. :slight_smile:

I love reading threads on my phone, it has an excellent feel about it. I also think the whole notification system and header is really good and a massive modern upgrade.

The navigation between threads isn’t doing it for me at the moment though, doesn’t feel as intuitive. But I don’t doubt I’ll get used it.

Top work to everyone involved.

Also anyone else feel like this is a sort of secret forum at the moment?

Seen some ask about a Who’s Online? feature like on VB.

Currently there isn’t one on here. The only way to see whos’ online is through User list section which is availble only for Admins/Mods.

However, we are looking into seeing if we can add a plugin to make an appearance on here as well, so fingers crossed :slight_smile:

For me I don’t think that is really needed tbh. Only annoying thing about this website is when you post a tweet it doesnt keep the UK time it uses the American time lol

Lads have to say I love how you just need to post a link and it posts a preview of the article so much easier! :smiley:

Love everything so far to be honest :santi:

I thought it might work for an “errm” , it’s only thinking, nothing sad at all. Really excited with the whole new thing as a brand new car :smile::+1:t2:

It’s gone for me as well.

I can’t believe they are people still using the old site! It’s so poor compared to this modern awesome forum. It shows you it’s dead though when you can get on the top posters of the last 24 hours with only 2 posts :joy: lol
