Different? What are you talking about?

Is there still a use CP/ Recent Thanked posts function? It was really simple before, now I can't seem to find my user CP/ thanked post history...

 

So...now its forcing me back to the mobile version. WTF is up with this site? It's schizo.

 

Which phone are you using?

 

Click "settings" at the top of the page....

 

Good find FY.

 

took me like 20 minutes to find it myself ha!

 

I'm using my iPhone over wifi...last night and this morning it was back to loading the real page...now it's back to the mobile version.

 

I answered this question earlier in this thread but, here goes again

This template does not play well with Safari for iPhone. It will not allow iPhone users to log in unless they are using Tapatalk. So, we set the iPhone browser to default to the mobile template.

 

any changes in the color code coming ? the old colors were so much better

 

I know you said that Celt...but it seems to switch in between the two. For the record, the mobile version of this site sucks balls. It really makes me not even want to come to the site. Tapatalk is all well and good...except I don't feel like paying money to view sites that I should be able to view through my browser. I visit alot of forums from my iPhone, and this is the only one that defaults to the mobile version.

 

I used to look at this site on my phone, but now the site loads way too slow. Kind of disappointing.

 

People pay for Tapatalk?

 

i did

 

Yeah...it's $2.99 for Tapatalk...there is a free version, but with that version you can't post or see pm's.

 

Muck...it's not even so much about the money...I don't want to pay for something that should already work. Kind of like why I didn't like paying for Xbox Live to play games over the Internet. I go to one site that forces me to a mobile version...this one. Whatever. Their product may be great, for those who use it, but I don't use it, and they don't deserve anything from me.

 

Very nice...site is back to the normal version from iPhone. THANK YOU!! Let's see if it stays this way this time. LOL.

 

I have to be honest, I may be only one of many but I dont care for alot of the changes. I really dont like not having my control panel. It just doesnt feel the same to me, sorry dont mean to be Debbie Downer.

 

Muck...it's not about the money. It's about the principle of it all. Why should I pay for Tapatalk, when every other forum I visit functions just fine on my iPhone?

And it's back to the mobile site. LOL. It's somewhat comical.

 

I feel the same way. Although I'm not sure how much of it is me adjusting to the changes and the newness of it, as opposed to actually preferring the old site, but I have a hunch I actually prefer the old site. Definitely aesthetically speaking. Oh well. Change won't scare me away. I'm sure you guys have good reasons for making the change.

 

What is the work-around for this problem? My work computer won't let me type in login box when using Mozilla, but it works when I use Explorer.

Using Windows XP, ****ty old computer with ****ty small monitor.

 

Is there a time frame on the WIP?

Just curious. Not warming to it at all.

 

We have chosen a new template that we will doll up a bit (new paint, lipstick, etc...). This template should serve as a frame for the future.

 

Try it now...

OT: if you are not willing to pay SOMETHING for an optimized site, you may indeed be better off on one that works well on an iPhone but provides crappy content. Just saying....

 

Guys, we are working as fast as we can. We had two choices....quickly move to a new platform and template and hope that our members would patient as most of you have, or stay with a version of vBulletin that was no longer supported and was riddled with security holes. Muck and I made the decision to err on the side of caution to protect our member's privacy while we realized that it might take a couple of weeks to get back on our feet.

The founding members of this site followed us over from FH, even though, at the time, we were "Celtkin.com" and "Drunkenpuppies.com". We had no template, no style but what we did have was 100+ die-hard members who did not care what we were called or what the site looked like. I think of those early days fondly.....

To be honest, I love our members but if style during this transition is an issue, there are other sites who are happy to take you.

 

you guys are doing great. no worries

 

this color is muuuuuuch better...relieve for the eyes, thank you

 

Security holes maybe are sloughed off by some, but the original genesis of it all was a massive one that literally put a forum offline for months so it is no small thing.

Improvements I've noticed:

-Forum is less "bright'
-added some color which was needed
-love the "blog this post" feature

Things I am not wild about:

pages load oddly on game day threads, a post on page 45 shows up on page 48 with other posts that used to be on page 45, or better said, the previous page.

pm notifications are sort of hidden

sometimes the thanks button disappears.

Small stuff mostly no huge deal.

 

^ complainer

 

I'm really liking it guys. Like the new color scheme, even though I think you said its temporary still. Now that I've gotten used to everything again, life is good Keep it goin guys, its going great so far IMO

 

I'm laughing at you guys right now. I build web sites for a living, and its funny to see you guys go through what I do on a daily basis. Clients' opinions suck. Always have, always will. I know, I know, that makes me a dick to laugh at your misery, but in my defense it is a misery I can share!

Seriously, you guys are doing great. Don't let these guys putting their junk in your birthday cake get you down. They'll get over it.

If you really want to shut them up, put up celtkin.com again...now that was a fugly eyesore...

 

The login is working for me today.

Keep up the great work guys, I love this place.

 

How do we tell who has thanked one of our posts?

Everything looks great!

 

If you go the the top of the page and click "settings," the latest reputations are listed

 

My question is when you get to the end of a thread, I used to be able to hit the Miami Dolphins Forum Quick Navigation button and it would get me back to the main page, now I just get a drop down list of the different forums there are and have to scroll to the appropriate one to go there. I am using Chrome on XP if that helps.

 

I’d like to suggest a change in the way post text is encoded. It seems the forum is either using ASCII text encoding or just doesn’t recognize certain characters. I use the Smart Quotes substitution feature in OS X, which automatically substitutes the standard apostrophe with correct format quote marks when needed. I’ve noticed that here and on Heatfreak, whenever my posts are quoted, the quote marks are substituted with the HTML entity name text ( " ).

If the text formatting isn’t handling true quote marks, that means it’s not handling other special characters as well. It’s not a hugely important thing, but flipping the Unicode switch would be nice.
