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

Fixed. Let me know if you find any others that need to be updated.

I do understand your feelings on the subject (and the feelings of those who agree with you), but I have always kept the same opinion on this (and don't see it changing): PriusChat was created to be a community first, resource 2nd. Although it is not necessarily true in your case, many of our long-time members continue to visit the site on a daily basis because of FHOP and would have stopped coming a long time ago had it not been for the "diner" discussion area. And keeping those members around means that they can continue to offer their knowledge with other members when they post in the other forums.

I/we are making steps to give users options when it comes to the OT discussions. The first step we've made is creating FHOPol for political discussions, and I am looking into other ways to create features for members who would like to keep any FHOP threads in their "View New Posts" feature. For right now, though, the best option is to just double click on the icon next to FHOP when you first come on the site, then view your new posts.

But Bill (and others) - do know that I am looking into new features to provide the functionality.

That's what took an extra day and a half to figure out. I had to take some code written by a VB staff coder, fix it, then enhance it. And I'm not a programmer - so it took a little time

So you're saying "Cat Lovers Against the Bo" doesn't get your point across? Thanks for pointing this out, I'll look into expanding that limit.

THANK YOU! I've fixed that.

1. Going to work on that soon. But yes, I do plan on putting that back into place.
2. This has been covered, I believe. But in case you didn't see it check the list of links under "Quick Links", or there is a link at the bottom of the forums homepage.
3. Sounds like a bug - I'll check.

2. As Tony hinted at earlier, I'm going to start testing this tomorrow, hopefully.
3. I like the idea of limiting the size of signature text to be smaller than the post text. Makes a much cleaner look. It'll probably piss some people off, but I like it.

I think this has been covered by now.

I took it down since it was being buggy. As soon as I figure out what the problem was, I'll enable it again.

Great information - thank you very much for posting this.

Thanks for reminding me - I'll add it soon.

Tell the 200 people who have emailed me over the last 2 days with password/username problems that they can't get an email to me

Seriously, though, what specifically are you having troubles with on the captcha? One problem we really faced for awhile on the old software was spammers (I received 10ish emails a day through bots using the Contact feature on the old site), so I'm looking to lock down the site as much as possible without impeding on usability.

I'll work on changing the settings back to the way they were on the old forums.

1. Good suggestion and I'll look to add it depending on how we end up with real estate up on that header bar. Thanks to whoever posted that the link is also under the Quick Links drop-down.

2. I know that you had your issue resolved, but for anyone who is having capitalization issues, that error message is a bug in the username change script, so just PM myself or a moderator if you want your name changed.

Thank you for your patience! Unfortunately I decided to do this migration right when our multiple family Christmas gatherings are starting (first one this Thursday, then this Saturday), so things might not go as quickly as you would hope. But hey, what we have now is better than the site going down or becoming unusable several times a day.

I'm VERY happy with the speed of the site and hope that you all are, too. More functionality will come!
