anagain Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I like the new look. It's fresh and just gives the site a change. Can I make one suggestion though. In our profile we can add our supported team and it appears under our user name in forum posts. Be interesting to have an option to also show the team we are managing in game...if that's possible.

Earnie is God! Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Two things: 1) I know that you can click the blue dot to the left of a thread to take you to new posts but if you just open the thread initially, you don't then have that option at the top of the page like before. I quite like to open a thread to remind myself of the initial topic by reading the first post again and then go to see any new/unread posts in it by clicking the link at the top of the page. To do that now I have to come out of the thread to click that blue dot and if the first unread post is on the 1st page then it thinks I've now read it when I haven't. So basically I'd like the 'view first unread post' link back at the top of the thread. 2) When clicking any link in a thread, it doesn't automatically open it in a new tab any more like before. Instead, it opens it in your current tab. I'm using Chrome so not sure if this is the same for all browsers. Is there a setting somewhere where I can alter this? 3) As others have mentioned, having just ~25-30 posts per page isn't enough. I'd like to see a setings option to alter this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using Chrome so not sure if this is the same for all browsers. Is there a setting somewhere where I can alter this? Internal links always open within the same tab, otherwise you need to right-click 'open in new tab'. I know it's a bit annoying, but all external links will open in a new tab.

Ronaldo Beckham Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Is it possible to have an option of being able to change it back to the old forums, like you can change skins on FM but change the layout of how you view the forums, I just don't like the layout, nothing personal, just found it easier to read stuff on the old layout, no worries if it aint possible to do this.

No, that currently isn't possible, but as said we'll look into having a choice of styles and looks at some point in the future. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

talhak Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think the new forum software has brought a new fresh & modern look to the forums, and it is more user-friendly in my opinion. Thanks Neil and all the team for their efforts Just a small idea/recommendation to make this experience better: The browser notification setting is annoying, it is always prompted (as a screenshot of it is attached) when you decline to receive native notifications.

Federico Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 A very silly "issue" having 0 priority... I edited my profile choosing the team I'm managing at the moment, but by doing this the field "place" has been removed when earlier it was shown. Example: "Mr. X 100 posts London" but now is: "Mr. X 100 posts Managing: Chelsea" There's no way to revert back my choice since the "managing" option is mandatory, nor to show both of them up it seems.

Is the new forum enforcing a mobile version? If a site is built a certain way, there is no desktop and mobile version. It's all the same and scales down. That way the site looks good, fitting everything horizontally so you don't have to scroll sideways or zoom in. Show desktop version only works when someone has a different site entirely for mobile versions, which you can usually see by the URL being m.domain.com instead of www.domain.com. Much better when a site is responsive like this is now - I can chuck it half screen and still read everything perfectly for instance. Also means that developers only have to work on one version, not two so better support when there's problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
