Recent changes to forum.

[Phases]

Have knocked a few things off my to-do list, enough now to post an update covering them. They are as follows:

- Renamed X3 forum to X10

- Made some changes to hopefully help with the www vs non www problems experienced when clicking around on the site. Problem with it during logging in is not yet resolved.

- Added Device to user info.

- Mobile site has a few changes (2).

- Renamed "Tips and Tricks" forum to "Android Lounge", for general Android chat and questions.

- Changed Top 5 stats. Now top 10. Remove hottest and most viewed threads and expand newest/top posters. Team members no longer considered for top posters. Last six months of posting. Feedback on this is welcome.

- Breadcrumbs added to bottom of thread, down under "next/previous thread". Scroll down to see.

- Obtrusive (to mobile viewing) Amazon add removed.

If you are running vbseo it should be fairly easy to nip the www vs no www problem in the bud. Just add a line to htaccess that strips the www and you should be good to go phases.

Might ask on their forums the exact way to do it as to not hurt your seo though. Looks like you are indexed with no www ...which is fine.

I emailed Rob directly...but no email from AF has shown up at my inbox for a quite a few days now. I am subscribed to many active threads. Something is amiss.

I assume you have it set to get notifications..

Mark all forums as read and see what it does.

 

[dkaufman1]

All my threads are set to instant, and I don't see a way to "clear" them in the UserCP section.

 

[Phases]

Well no I mean "mark all forums read" from the forum home page.

Well no I mean "mark all forums read" from the forum home page.

I used the quick links option (available on every page of AF), mark forums read. Let's see what happens.

 

[dkaufman1]

Still not working. What now?

 

[Phases]

Honestly I'm not yet sure. We're having a problem with registration emails making it to people, too.

 

[dkaufman1]

This sucks for everyone. I will PM you.

this could simply be that it is going to there spam folders instead. have them check there

I hate making new threads so ima post this suggestion here.

think about installing the signature once per page mod from vb.org for a few reasons

1. it cleans up the forum

2. with such a busy forum it will really cut down on server loads, ESPECIALLY since we are defaulted to 50 post per page.

(this mod does what it says, shows a users signature one time per page. so in the first 50 posts i posted 10 times my sig shows once therefore lowering load time for the end user and server both)

Info on this very soon. Day or two. But the vip area at the moment is just an empty forum. Nothing really special about it except that only premium and mods can see it.
