New Forums: Feedback thread - Bugs/Suggestions here please.

Recommended Posts

I can't see any option for choosing between email and notification list in there? :huh:

Sorry, the best option I have right now is changing it to a "weekly digest" for threads you follow, but don't want email from, but still want email notification from other threads on.

I will be looking into the option of per thread distinction of notification to exclusively Notification List.

Would like to mention that when reading a thread created by anyone you dont know who the author of the thread is like the previous forum setup where at the base of the

author's avatar and misc info you had "Author of thread "or whatever title was used, can we reimplement that, otherwise we have to go to the top of the thread look at who

started it then find where he last posted and respond to it if we have something to say.

============

Also again for the 3rd time my stickied thread is still only showing code: LINK

How can that be fixed?

Do i need to spam this thread with the same question every week because you guys cant respond to me with suggestions or just to say we are looking into it or something?

Silence is not professional, I spent over a year on that thread for the community and have some more stuff to add thats building up on me,

tell me how to easily fix it or delete the dam thing, thread is uselessness the way it is now.

I have written up your first point here, so it is in the the que with the web team.

 

Apologies that the code highlighting has not yet been implemented. This has been logged and is in the que for the web team.

No problem, In another post that I linked to from the forums maintenance announcement thread, I have also been responding there, and in the first post of the thread, a number of fixes are listed in the Solved issuesdrop down.

 

https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/183456-list-of-issues-with-the-new-forums-engine/

I will also post back here to this thread on specific fixes to issues mentioned in it, when they get addressed.

 

Again, sorry for the inconvenience thank you for your patience.

 

Best regards,

BohemiaBeck

It would be nice if a new message containing quoted images would show the url instead of the whole images.

I have a complaint about the Search function on these forums:  how am I supposed to search for things like FSM if search terms must be more than three characters long?

Could the new forums support also ModDB embeded video/image links? 

Cannot embed video content from ModDB.

Like liveleak, unfortunately this is an issue with the way browsers do not allow http content within an iframe on a https site. BI Forums is https.

If you have an example of another forums site that is https and allows for content embeding from ModDB, please let me know.

Thanks for your feedback. The current search limitations have been noted and there is a plan to address it.

When it is addressed, I will update the Forums migration/update status items thread here.

I see! Thank you for the clarification. I had no idea about the inner workings of the forum.

The View New Content button stopped working for me about a week ago, it just says "Sorry, no new content found."

 

What's going on?

Pay attention that no item under "other" is ticked and retry.

Derp, thanks.

 

By the way, I really dislike the new forums. The old one was working just fine.

I don't understand.

 

Do the three words limitation on search function also affect word in enclose quotes?

 

If i search for "end game", with quotes, the search result is only stuff for the word GAME, like the word END were not included.

 

This is very very annoying cause the word GAME is obviously very recurring, making in fact impossible to find stuff relative to, now for me, END GAME mode.

It seems so. Searching for popular mod:

"ofp slx"

...gives me an error and no results.

Yup, the mods must all be renamed with 4 letters :rolleyes:

Unfortunately we have an issue with the current search functionality of the forums where only words with 4 characters or more can be searched for. Sorry for this inconvenience. IT is working towards a solution for this issue.

 

While it is not the most convenient solution, for now, you can use google advanced search:

https://www.google.com/advanced_search

and put 

https://forums.bistudio.com

In the "site or domain:" field.

 

Please refer to the following pinned thread on all current forums issues. As issues are resolved, it is updated here:

Wouldn't it be better to close this (non-pinned) thread since it's depreciated? :)

Good point, thread now locked. :)
