MousePlanet & MousePad Server Move [with bug reports]

[cstephens]

I changed to blue to see how I liked it, but when I logged out and logged back in, it went back to green. Is there some other "save" button or link I'm supposed to be changing to make the change permanent?

Click on "settings" at the top right hand of your screen. Then, go to "My Account" and scroll down to and click on "general settings". Scroll down to Miscellaneous Options "Forum Skin" and pick your color. Save Changes.

It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you.

i realize this may not be possible anymore but it used to be that when you clicked on a thread it would take you to the newest post since you had last read the thread. Now clicking on a thread title takes you to the first post. Not super annoying but it would be nice if eventually it could go back the way it was. Also, on my itouch the screen used to automatically re-size itself so that the forums were easy to read. Now I find that even in mobile mode I have to manually readjust the sizes so that I can see anything and the next buttons to move pages in a thread are impossible to hit because they are so small.

These are just minor complaints/ issues and overall the new forums look really good.

Marsh, I also notice the 'mobile verison' didn't have as many 'shortcut bells and whistles' as the old mobile version, too.

Clicking on the thread title to get to new posts was one of them. There IS a little button right next to the thread title for new posts - but it's pretty small if you're seeing much text on your screen at a time.

How are other people getting back to the main forum page after reading/posting in a thread? Before I could use the drop down forum navigation buttons to return to the same forum page, but now I have to slect a new forum for the navigation to take me there. I've been using the Top button and then clicking the forum link at the top of the page but that's kind of annoying when you're in a long thread.

Thanks. I also changed the color when I wasn't logged in at all, and that seems to have helped too.

I merged your thread into the existing bug report thread. I noticed the same issue, and we don't know why this is happening. In the meantime, I was able to login from my Droid by clicking "Full Site" at the bottom of the screen, then logging in from the full site. (Be sure to click the unlabled-in-most-styles "remember me" checkbox below the user name and password boxes.) I closed the browser and reopened it, and it reopened in the mobile version, with me logged it.

OK, I got in using the full site, but now it won't go back to the mobile version! Will work on it, as it is probably me.

I also like the blue, much easier to read than the green! I like the new site but am still getting the hang of it. And- I miss the smilies! I know they are there, but that is an extra click

I dont think it's just you, I'm having the same problem. I figured out how to get to the full site last night, but every time I try to go to the mobile site I just get a blank page.

[cstephens]

I don't know that this is a "bug" per se, but I thought I'd mention it.

I'm on the blue option, but when I go to look at someone's profile, the trappings seem to revert back to the green option, at least within the confines of the profile itself. The very top bar is still blue. Also, some of the info in the profile, including the main information in the box at the left side of the profile, is mostly unreadable as it's white writing on different-colored-white background. I found that highlighting the text made it readable so I could then choose what I wanted, but otherwise, it almost looks blank. I think the identifiers for the other tabs on the right side are in the same unreadable color scheme. Thanks.

I've been using the Top button and then clicking the forum link at the top of the page but that's kind of annoying when you're in a long thread.

I've gotten into the pattern of clicking "Top" when I'm at the bottom of the page, and then clicking "Lounge" (or whatever section I'm in) when I'm at the top. It didn't take all that much getting used to, actually.

iespell is still not working right for me, is it for others? It's the MP recommended--by linking to their site--spell checker.

This is one of those where I'm going to say "we know, it's been reported, we're working on it, but until you hear otherwise assume it's still broken."

[Malcon10t]

Not sure if this is a feature, or if something is turned off, but now threads no longer cap at 1000 replies.

[Drince88]

Does anyone else see different formatting on the mobile verison on a computer vs a phone (in my case, an iPhone)? When I look at it on my phone, it has avatars and borders and such. On the computer, it's just a bare-bones version with lots of text, etc.

Why I even LOOKED on the computer is that on the phone, when I'm looking at the WDW forums only, the text size for the indivdual forums varies.

[Drince88]

Not sure it's on all the interfaces - but the blue one, the 'warning' that your mailbox is getting full isn't there.

Though there is an easy-enough work around for that (keep it cleaned out!)

[quackinup]

Can you also screen cap the logo issue? I don't see that in my browsers.

I'm a little behind on all this upgrade stuff. Did she send you this screen cap? If not I have one here:

[quackinup]

FWIW, everything seems to display the same on my iPad as it does on my PC, with the exception of the clipped logo in the blue screen (it displays fine on the iPad). Only had a minute to check it out, will test more when I get some time.

[CariBelle]

Can you take a screen-cap of that and send it to me? I can not recreate that on my browser using the green style.

The Blue style is a "fixed width" template, so if your browser window is wider than the template, the extra space will be filled in with the blue bar. That won't change in this style, so if it drives you batty you may need to move to green or grey. For me it looks good if I have MousePad in a smaller side window or on a smaller monitor, but I don't like it when I'm viewing it full screen on a large monitor.

Can you also screen cap the logo issue? I don't see that in my browsers.

I'm so sorry AVP, I didn't see this until now. Thankfully quankinup did a screencap of the logo issue, that's the same thing I was seeing. I will switch back to green and see if the same issue is still happening with the colors.


I'm in grey now and when I use the Quick Navigation the thread navaigation right above with will "hover" over the quick nav. I will try to SC that as well.

I need to reupload...brb

Yaaayyyyy for Exclude forums from "What's New":

[shna]

I'm way not diggin' the new version on my phone. I can see posts & make posts just fine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to go "back" to the forum I was viewing. I have to click on MousePlanet at the top of the page & start from scratch. I can see things fine from "full site," but I get automatically switched to the mobile version when I open up a thread to read responses. It's frustrating.

[quackinup]

Did you try checking Disable mobile style on mobile device in General Settings?

[shna]

I haven't tried that yet. I just got annoyed & turned the darn thing off.

The "Ignore Forum" function is back in a modified fashion. Instead of completely disappearing the forum, it is now excluded from searches but still appears in the regular forum list. To ignore a forum, visit the General Settings page of your User Control Panel. At the bottom is a list of forums available for you to exclude from search. Select which forums you want to exclude from search and click the "Save Changes" button.

The button to ignore a forum from the forum list isn't back and I don't know if it will be. You'll have to do it from the General Settings page.

I also don't have any progress to report on the "Ignore Thread" function. I know that one is high on many "want" lists and it's a priority for me.
