New Site Feedback

[buddhalady]

I'd had previous problems a while ago similar to those experienced by TallGuy , until a friend advised I run my cleaner every morning. Did so, thus clearing everything to do with the TV site before I entered any site, and those problems stopped. Now I only have trouble with the TV site, so am avoiding it as much as possible.

 

However, without being any kind of techie, it's now obvious to me as well as to my extremely knowledgeable tech guy that the new owners of this forum don't give a toss about the members  and TV's former invaluable service as regards info - it's all about the money.

 

When the site was upgraded, it behaved as though those responsible for the software were rank amateurs, with hitch after hitch. Same same with the new ad-blocking stuff. It's about time someone who really is tech savvy started a new forum - it's needed for info on everything these days.

 

I'm recently widowed and live outside town, so found TV very useful now I'm relatively isolated from the CM expat community. The 'dogs' breakfast' this site has become is bad news for me.

When does the supposed upgrade of the @support  email function going to start? As a regular user of this function I can affirm that that it does not work as intended on the assumption (i.e. support) is the idea. Every time I use the function I get a response of, gibberish, fraudulent accusations,  requests to start (front page?) or nothing at all. I'm all for automation, AI etc. but in my opinion you need to have a human device on the other end while you are still testing out the Beta.

It took a staggering 30 mins for me to post a link in a page that I keep a regular eye on today & I have given up altogether in trying to add to high profile thread in my home area as I frankly cannot get anywhere near it...again!

I am again unable to edit posts if I don't get it right first time around...

The styling of cut/pasted links in posted content is utter pants.  Bold, black, no underlining.  Looks just like any other bit of bold text.  How is one supposed to know it's a link?

 

The offending bit of CSS is 

 

.ipsType_richText a {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #000;
    font-weight: bold;
}

This seems to be the new fashion for links. Takes some time getting used to.

Hello,

for the past 8 hours I have not been able to log into New Content.

I only got here by going to thaivisa.com first.

Is it my computer or is it you?

Thai Visa Connect App probem. When I post this error message pops up. I have to use Thai Visa in Chrome as the App doesn't let me post.

Many more weird things are happening.

I click on New Content and get a 9 hours old post.

I have I Explorer on my laptop.

It's not you, it's TV. I think it's Thaivisa time of the month as it's acting up all day already :)

You mean 4 times?......

Oh well, after the Anschluss of TVForum with Not The Nation, what do you expect?

[MJCM]

Why did you post that 3 times?

I didn't mean that, if that is what you are saying, posting via Ipad and it seems that has some hlitches as well

Since some days, TV has a new format of its Newsletter. I do read it with my gmail account on my desktop and find that the letters used, are very small (very small).

 

Would it be possible to increase the size of letters on the TV newsletter such it makes reading easier; without each time having to increase the font size myself.

[Tech Doctor]

Hi,

 

We are working on the newsletter template fixes at the moment, they should be ok for Tuesday.

Get rid of those annoying ads (olaay, head&shouldaas, sakulaa etc.)  blaring  out without even being clicked at for the last 3 days or so, will you ...?!

Or do we really have to disable Java script?!

It hasn't loaded properly for months. On the few occasions it does load, only around 12 threads can viewed. Browsing forums also doesn't work.

so slow this morning, to the point unusable.

 

Dont spend so much time on here these days, ridiculous over-advertising.

[dick dasterdly]

For some reason the 'photos accompanying the topics in the 'adverts' are entirely un-related.

 

Admittedly, its very funny and sometimes makes me laugh out loud at the difference between the 'photo and the topic - but even so, it should be corrected.

 

I feel particularly sorry for the old white guy always shown in the 'photo shown in the 'advert' for the Koh Tao murder threads!

Every time I load a page, the attached pop-up arrives. Actioning it does not stop the pop-up.

 

Mac OS. Firefox.

Photo uploading has been an issue,  via various ways of uploading,  Tech team are trying to resolve the issues ...

Photo uploading now is fine, I did a thread as I couldn't figure it out and resizing to 800 x 600 did the trick, now it's perfect, uploaded a few around 4mb pics no hassles.

 

New content is slow to load but I find if I C&P in Chrome in another window works better.
