Everything seems. Thanks

I haven't read through the whole thread but I assume it is 11 pages of, mostly, how the new upgrade sucks. It's bad. Not just the "getting used to a new format" bad but it's like they let an amateur build the "upgrade".

I have several issues like ones from pags 9 & 10 (didn't read anything from 1-8). My biggest complaint is quoting someone. I have seen others having the same issue. When you quote someone, even when you click below the quote and start typing, when you actually post the reply your typing is put IN the quote box. I don't know if that is just on phones or what but seems like there have been numerous replies when quoting where that happens.

What was wrong with the old version?
 
Hey RAT, after you select a photo, a small photo appears below the post box. Click on the top left of the photo and a drop down appears with two options. I always choose "full size" and the photo will move to wherever you have the cursor.

You dont have to - it will automatically insert the photo

Doesn’t happen to me? I’m quoting this from my phone and the cursor went to the correct place

Dude people replied in the quote boxes ALL THE TIME before, that's not new at all.

The only thing I've noticed is that if I insert multiple quotes, then type between the boxes, and then delete what I've typed it sometimes pull the quoted text out of the box below. Some kind of text wrapping with the new way the quote boxes appear?

Anyway it's not a big deal. Seems like Joey has returned pretty much all the old functions from before, the changes now are pretty minor. And compared to some of the forum software being used out there this is still way better.

Yeah I saw the option to add them a couple days ago, but I just realized the saved ones were on the header under my account tab! Not sure how I missed it, but it's there!

And so are all my old bookmarks, so that's awesome.

I'm sure you are! It must be a real headache to get all of this stuff sorted out.

I'm sure all the bitching will die down after awhile, there's been a few different software upgrades since I've been here and this one seems relatively minor in comparison to some of them. I forget which one it was but the one that took out all the saved PM's was a huge deal, you've probably still got PTSD from that one.

The bitching will. Beyond that, I'm doing whatever I can to make adjustments as people suggest them to me. Trick is, everything isn't as simple as people think and sometimes doing X affects y, z and q as well. So it can be a pita of a balancing act.

Honestly, losing all the PMs wasnt a problem to me because, I warned everyone before it happened so frankly I didn't much care. It saved a lot of server space to dump those 10s of thousands of old pms, many to people who didnt even visit the site anymore.

It is, but that's okay. It just takes time. the most helpful is when someone is specific in the problem they are seeing. (instead of just saying 'this sucks' or something)

Its simple. Lay out the specific problem and I'll see what I have to do to fix it. All the rest of the BS just takes more time away from fixing the things that need to be fixed.
 
I'm thankful that Joey has put in the time and effort to at least cater to those that offer suggestions to make this new update more user friendly.
I call BS. Asked him for a simple fix, and he refused to even consider it. Took his ball and went home like a child.

Please. I didn't want to use your suggestion. Stop whining. Since you seem to have nothing else to contribute, I'll ban you from this thread.

I'll agree that his post wasn't warranted, but damn, man. That's a little harsh.
Maybe, "I didn't like it so I didn't do it. Please come back to the thread if you have a legit problem"?

nah, he's been a pita throughout the process and had little to contribute.
 
Can we get a Preview button for new posts? When writing a technical post, it's invaluable to make sure the pics are in the right spot and the correct message is conveyed.
