Hi

Notifications have been changed.

Thanks for the feedback. 

TD

 

Love your number of posts (Though still have nightmares about dealing with -2,147,483,647 errors)!!!

 

On a serious note, should Tapatalk be working now? (I'm still getting the 48 hour Forum Maintenance Message).

 

 

Cheers

The layout seemed to have moved to responsible, which is good. Now the problem with oversized photos don't seem to require horizontal scrolling. 

As the theme is still being constructed, couple thoughts.

• Colours could have more contrast. 
• User panel on the left, could be more compressed and use smaller font
• General layout compressing, moving Like button to the same row as + Quote is, when using less than 800px page width

[ddavidovsky]

Too much white space. That means more scrolling, more eye movement, and the page is uncomfortably bright.

More white space has been the trend in webpage design for a couple of years. I guess user-friendliness is not considered as important as being a slave to fashion.

[anotheruser]

The up arrow in the lower right interferes with the quote button and can be annoying. I really dislike the up arrow button or it's placement.

Hi JB

tapatalk will be disabled until the indexes are rebuilt. I tried enabling it earlier which was also a contribution of it falling over. 

As soon as we can I'll get it back working.

In the old system, when I clicked on a different forum the one I was no longer looking at closed. Now they are all staying open. If I spend 4 hours on TV and look at 80 different sites that is going to be a lot of open pages.

That is a setting that can easily be changed. It is really no big deal.

[Guest]

One more request: Please add an ability to save the Custom sort option (it's possibly to filter out topics without replies in 7 days) . I personally wish to hide all the pinned topics, which are now taking a full page on for example Phuket forum.

where is new content button, only thing that made the old forum navigable.

I think that this is performed by the Unread Content button at the top right of the page (well, 1 inch down), which brings up a timeline of new posts.

[anotheruser]

I might be wrong but if you refresh a page it brings you to a previous page and not the latest post. It didn't do that this time but I am sure it did before.

I just received a message in the inbox not meant for me.

The white background is hurting my eyes. But the biggest drawback is the app not working. The Thaivisa android app was so, so user friendly. I could post so fast. I could surf the whole database, each thread, the timeline, the joy, oh I miss the app so. Pls, pls update the app TD. I want my app back.

[anotheruser]

I agree the new forum is too bright. If an option to change themes could be made available to the end user that would be brilliant. The current forum is harsh on the eyes.

It will be a big loss to TV if you don't fix it , the traffic to your site will go down . 

 

[Bangkokhatter]

Agree with others about the white background, may get easier on the eye after a few days.

Try "Flux": https://justgetflux.com/faq.html 

I've been using it since 2011.

[Pdaz]

Where is the "new content/latest posts" button ?  If I just want to see recent posts in all forums ?

[siam2007]

extremely confusing so far. I don't like that I can not properly see the "new posts since your last visit". I want that per topic and not per post. The old version was far better. But maybe TV wants to wipe out the remaining Laptop-/Computer users and go mobile version only ? Hmmmmm..... 

[JetsetBkk]

PLEASE can we have the "BBCode" mode button back?

It used to be top left of the reply box icons.

Basically, I don't like - and rarely used - the WYSIWYG editor. I'd rather see the [ quote ], etc BBCodes as it makes editing much more precise and configurable.

UC Browser / Android. Thread titles wrap each letter on to new line.

 

Just an update on this, it now appears to be wrapping on each word rather than each letter. Would be great if it could manage a few words per line.

[MW72]

On first viewing I think I quite like the new format. On my PC just now and my Android app isn't working so I'll reserve judgement until it is back up and running. Checked my profile and I have to say I am a little disappointed that my date of birth is in the M/D/Y format when the majority of the world use the D/M/Y format.

This!!! What happened to New posts since last visit ?  You can't seriously mean we have to click on Activity , then activity streams and New activity ? It's not the same function and I have to click 3 times. Maybe you do not want Windows users anymore?

As long as my Android app for the tablet works as before I will continue to log in but the website is a complete mess now .

This new format is terrible.  It now contains massive amounts of white space.  Things are spread out much more instead of succinctly and compactly displayed.  Looks as bad as the latest changes Yahoo made.  Very poor design

[wooloomooloo]

I don't think the format is too bad.  Been on for two hours and well aware that it's already becoming second nature.

I've been in to computing since early 80s and just roll with it.  

[Jingthing]

The design is nice but I don't care.

 

The MOST IMPORTANT thing to me is I want to do exactly as before, and click to see New Posts of threads I have participated with ONE CLICK from the main page.

 

I see now I can see UNREAD CONTENT but I see EVERYTHING ... 

 

That's OK but that other thing was HUGE for the way I used the forum. 

 

Is this coming back or not?

 

If not, I'll have a real learning curve to understand how to use this forum as before. 

 

[rhodie]

And how about allowing to jump to a page number from the topics list.

And showing the date the topic was created.

The Merkel days of terror topic brings up a phishing site alert and my Kaspersky is blocking access to it. Other topics open normally

You mean this one ?

I scanned through the whole topic (4 pages) and didn't get any warnings.

JT,

try this.

Hold the Mouse on your User Name and after a (second or so) wait, you will see, "Find Content"

 

But at the moment it will only show the newest content you have participated in.

Hope this helps
