PriusChat Forum Upgrade - post your bug reports/gripes/thanks here

[Neicy]

New posts is on the top blue row for me and works. What I need is a PM link to one of the mods. Guess it's better that the site is up and work out the kinks after Danny has had some sleep and food.

Never mind - found it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I usually go directly to www.priuschat.com and check out the news articles, 10 most recent topics, etc. When I type in that site now, I go straight to forums. What's up?

It looks like a lot of people had their "Log In" names imported instead of their "Display Names". The way to fix it is:

Log-in using your log-in name and password, then once you're in go to your UserCP. At the bottom you'll see a link called "Username Request" - click there, submit your name change request, and myself or a moderator will review your request.

I haven't set that part of the site up, yet. It'll be back soon.

I tried to make a new post in Fred's and my Safari browser completely locked up. I'm on Firefox right now.

I usually use Safari.

Is Priuschat no longer Safari friendly?

[Danny]

There shouldn't be any reason for it to lock up in Safari. I have Safari on my Macbook, so I'll test it when I get into the office tomorrow morning.

Godiva - you really took the "gripes" part of the thread to heart, didn't you?

[Godiva]

What about local groups? Do I have to rejoin the San Diego group? If so, where is it?

[galaxee]

lol, well you did ask for it, Danny!

I'm good now after a password reset.

My avatar disappeared. I reloaded it. Now it works.

One minor dislike: On the index page of each forum, the left-most column is an icon with a little arrow if I've posted in that thread. This little arrow is much harder to see than the analogous indicator the board used to use.

My request: Make the indication stand out better. I often scan these so as to read first those threads I've posted in before, and respond to possible replies to my earlier posts.

Overall I like the looks of the new board.

I have not yet tried this on the new board, but this worked on the old one and may work here, too:

I type the text first, then highlight it, and then hit the button to make it a link. I then paste the URL into the window, and it makes a link using the highlighted text.
