IRON HEART FORUM MIGRATION - Help Us Make the New Forum Even Better

[cityofdelusion]

No worries, it's only a suggestion after all that I believe will make everyone's (but the mods) experience here a little better.

As for the rest of the problems you mentioned: I think that most of them would be solved if when creating a sales thread, there were multiple input/text/upload areas (e.g., to enter a price, condition, description, location, size, photos etc.) that would require a mandatory input before being able to publish. In other words: The forum would require you to either fill those areas or not allow you to post at all.

Sometimes I remember a post (by another forum member or myself) on a certain topic, but I'm unabel to find it again. Would it be doable to have a search function looking within someones posts for a term?

sorry, stupid me. saw that it's already possible via the advanced search function

[DrPat]

One error message would suffice no matter how many times I try to game the system

Also, is it possible to see exactly who upvotes a post instead of just “and X others”?

I’m using the mobile app under iOS.

@DrPat The answer to the upvote question is no. It's not a feature that's available.

@AdamJ I don’t miss Tapatalk, but I do miss getting forum notifications on my lock screen om my phone. Is there any way to enable this now, or to add it as a feature in the future?

[goosehd]

@neph93 Reuben…try going to your settings and then going to notifications to change the menu to your desired way to be notified.

[goosehd]

@neph93 …and if that doesn’t work…@AdamJ to the rescue.

[neph93]

All that is under control. It’s more how I get notified. I want banner notifications on my phone like I used to get with Tapatalk. It may not be doable. Yet.

[AdamJ]

@neph93 Yes mate, improved notifications is 100% on the agenda. As you say, so you can see notifications at a glance on your home screen, the same way you'd see an email or WhatsApp.

We're starting testing the new platform this week so I'll keep you posted

[neph93]

Excellent @AdamJ . Given the improved interface and general usability on a mobile that is the next logical step.

[SKT]

Veering to another subject here but I’ve noticed the forum has started to load photos much slower. Anyone else noticed this?

[tody]

@SKT I can confirm this.

[Kasi]

depends on speed of the internet always the case

[goosehd]

@SKT @tody I've been having issues too.

[Alex]

interesting, I have not noticed that, but we will look into it

[tody]

I noticed it in the hiking thread. It's picture-heavy, and it seem that endo has uploaded full resolution pictures with 6MB each. That's surely the culprit.
Is there an add-on for the forum software to size down pictures automatically?

[goosehd]

@tody That's where I noticed it too.

Edit: Thank you for pointing out where you saw it

[goosehd]

...also notice it with the motorcycle thread.

[Tago Mago]

@tody so basically @endo should stop making everyone green with envy with his holiday destinations. Or at least have the common decency to upload the photos in such a shitty quality that it looks awful

sorry, wasn‘t aware of that. how can I do better?
