Upcoming Forum Upgrade

[Ben]

Priority #1 The integrity of the forums 

Please INSIST that Lithium fix bugs before introducing trouble. Making our lives harder is not going to help the forums.

As our forum Web-mananger I beg you you please insist that Lithium fix the bugs before adding any new features.

Oh, this is too easy:

I bet Lithium has an Idea Exchange, with ideas which are most likely implemented before current bugs are fixed.

Now where does this remind me of?

Hi Everyone,

I am still working with Lithium on these items. I think we will have a good alternative to floated boards that will show which of your favorite boards have unread posts and how many unread posts they have.  I am still working out the details and will post a complete description of how it will work as soon as I can.

Are there other people that browse the forums from mobile devices?  We are definitely not optimized for that, but it is something that has come up recently and I really have no feel for how much traffic we get from mobile devices.

The upgrade is necessary because it lays the ground work for future enhancements.  It also offers improvements to the editor, image handling, Ideas, Kudos, and large improvements to search.  I think a number of these improvements will fix some of the bugs that Ben references.  If you have a specific least favorite bug, I can test for it prior to the upgrade.  I know the space removal in the editor in Firefox is top of many lists - I will test for it, but I have not typically been successful reproducing it in our test environment.

Thank you all for your feedback.  I will continue to work to make the upgrade go as smoothly as possible.

Regards,

Laura

least favorite bugs

1. (or before when editing) How to stop the link underbar  from forming under continuation text without adding a CR and then deleting it
2. Font justification on text above an inserted picture 

my 2Euros worth Thanks Laura!

Laura,

What would be nice is a easy way of inserting links to the other forum boards rather than having to copy the web address and pasting it the query.

This regularly comes up when answering queries that have been posted in the wrong board.

Regards

Ray
