It's been 10 years since I first launched GuitarForum.co.za. The official birthday is the 15th of October. But why wait till then for awesomeness? Here it...

New Forum! (Known Issues)

Stoffeltoo

Ooh La La! Looks good Norio and it does look great!

NorioDS

Sweet @studmissile @Stoffeltoo @V8, glad you guys are digging it ?

Yeah it's way prettier. There are some issues I'm unhappy with but I'll keep chipping away at those until they're sorted.

(Like on mobile, there's too many ads above-the-fold coz the left sidebar ad goes above the discussions. Some mobile-friendly CSS should fix that.)

Added: Search is kinda empty. We're waiting for Google to catch up with the changes we've made here. Give it a week or two after the launch and search should be waaay better.

Looks good! This forum software is showing up everywhere now and i really like it, formats much better on mobile and looks really clean on desktop. Thanks!

NorioDS

Thanks @peterleroux

Yeah this is much nicer on mobile. And nice in other ways. I'll make a post about it.

Radical, @NorioDS !!! Thank you for enabling us to log in with our GFSA passwords - makes the switch hassle free. I was so inspired, I even updated my profile picture. ?

NorioDS

Haha, awesome @daveo1977 and it's my pleasure!

The password thing, I thought, was critical. It's such a pain in the butt to have to reset your password that I didn't wanna scare anyone away by being lazy.

Great new pic, btw!

Small bug on the new sharing bar. Sometimes it is on the left of the screen on my phone and co
vers some content.

NorioDS

Hasie I'm using the tools from Sumo me so I can't fix that but you could try turning your device as a temporary fix.

Hasie

NorioDS No problem. Thanks.

Almost got a fright when I clicked on the bookmark this morning, thought it had somehow changed. Superb Norio! Well done. Nice and clean, modern and seems to be very user friendly! Congrats.

NorioDS

@nick_D01 @Squonk @wern101 glad you guys are digging it! ?

This new look is GREAT. Good work to all that made it happened.
There is only one function that I miss. In the previous one it was very easy to select only postings that was not read yet. I do not see it on this one.
Having said that, great work.

NorioDS

RobbieZ Thanks ?

By default, on the front page, unread topics will be at the top and in bold. So you just need to visit the front page to make sure you didn't miss anything.

Hope that helps!

@V8 @PeteM I'm adding the issue you guys discussed in the challenge thread...

Sometimes while posting, the forum will say your reply didn't post when it really did. The only known workaround, right now, is to copy your post and reload the page to check if it posted. Most times it did but, if it didn't, then you can just paste it in again and click 'Post Reply'.
- I have a theory that this is related to some of the "behind the scenes" tasks being run when you post. Emails being sent, etc. If anything there fails, it tends to squawk.
- Only likely to be fixed by the Flarum development team themselves when they release their next beta.

PeteM

Okay... easy enough to post twice and delete one of them if both come up.
