avatar avatar avatar whine bitch moan.......seriously, apart from this I have no complaints, asuming that others are complaining about the 'real' things and that they will be addressed/sorted in due course, although I would like to remain on the thread in which I have just posted, rather than be flung out into the wide blue yonder(or 'the lobby' as someone else said).


May i help you with that ? send the pic to @
then i'll send the version that'll work.

People need to have a play with all the new icons and not rely on others so much. FFS it's not rocket science is it!

Your guess is as good as mine. I accidentally ignored natterjack and now I can't remove him from the ignore list. When I click the red cross the page just turns white but he's still on the list

Also search function kicks you back to the forum index page instead of displaying results and avatars don't actually update when you try to change them. Doesn't seem like it was tested before going live

I am sure these minor issues will be sorted in time. In the broad scheme of things, are they really worth worrying about?

Go into settings (very top right where you log on)

select the ignored members / posts tabs and you should be able to remove him from the list.

If this is what you are doing and it is not working report it as a fault.

To make it look like the old forum you need to:

Press Settings -> Forum Settings -> View Mode = Table Mode Collapsed View.


Isn't the forum set up show it in "Table Mode Collapsed View" by default, if you haven't changed any settings?

If not it should, as this is the only useful setting out of the 4 and the one that is most similar to the old forum and any other useful forum for that matter.

Ok just trying to help - no need to get contankerous

I am sorry but I misread the post you were replying to and thought therefore you were saying you had no idea how to ignore someone. So thought after you had pressed the ignore button in error you were pressing it again to try and reinstate them. You mentioned the ignore list so unsure if you were doing the right thing. It seemed to me that this would not be clear to anyone trying to correct errors. However this is only because I misread the initial post.

How do you look at previous pages in a board? — clicking the “Next” or “2” at the bottom of this board, takes me back to the forum index page


I have figured out what the problem is.

If you click page 2 of this sub-forum it links to this page:
http://planetswans.fansnetwork.co.uk/forum/page:2

But in reality it should have linked to this page instead:
http://planetswans.fansnetwork.co.uk/forum/category:8/page:2

So the sub-forum info is missing from links. In this case "/category:8" for this "Football Only Board" sub-forum or "/category:9" for the "Tickets, travel and pubs" sub-forum and so forth.

It think it will be a fairly easy to correct this error.

Some comments on the new site. I think the presentation is important to address as it is putting people off but usability seems big concern to others (unread post functionality / search). Things that are not working that can be fixed quickly (paging through forum index / ignored list removal / navigation etc.) are making the site unworkable to some extent so be great if these could be fixed quickly.

Too black and white.

Harshness of presentation seriously detracts from usability. Board and Forum index pages especially. (But a standard style needs to run throughout)
Individual items in the lists run into each other instead of being instantly clearly demarked. This gives an instant poor impression to the site and makes it much harder to use and puts people off.

e.g. Look at presentation on not666 site http://www.not606.com/forumdisplay.php/55-Swansea-City Not suggesting this as perfect layout but it presents a calm clearly laid out format that does not offend your eyes or require work to pick one item from another. The muted used of colour aids this.

A nice touch to limit text overload on the index page — is the use of small text boxes that instantly appear when you hover on the link to any forum. These let you read several lines of the op without actually going into the individual thread.

Note the single clearly defined reply to thread button at the top and bottom of each page of the thread and the reply with quote button on the bottom right of each post

note: This site does not seem to have the same sophisticated structure as ours with separate boards or forums, it just appears to be one long forum with individual threads. Also (according to one post) has no search facility beyond looking at what individual users have posted (similar to this one now)


Other main problems.

Navigation not taking you to logical places on post for example or ability to return to forum index

Some pages inaccessible (link to pages beyond the 1st page on index of threads within forum).

Remove member from ignored list not working

Some are having problems with uploading Avatars

Inability to automatically dip into a forum where you left off. Be advised of unread posts etc.

Lack of Search facility

General formatting — action buttons to right — avatars to left etc (to follow natural reading pattern)

Standardised style and standard use of terms eg Board Forum Thread Post

Appropriate placing and naming of action buttons

Inability to use any formatting/colour/highlighting within post text

Inability to quote multiple levels or reply to parts of post or highlight

Inability to delete or change quoted post when editing your own post

Thanks

With mine I get this URL on the first page of the football only forum:
http://planetswans.fansnetwork.co.uk/forum/category:8-football-only-board#1035

and if I replace the #1035 with /page:2 or whatever other page I want to view and press enter it works

Same with other forums replace # and numbers after as above

Agree this should be a really easy fix for support

Just so I am on the same wavelength here by site background you mean the picture of the Liberty?

Change the picture or just reduce the colour in it a little?
