Pfrsantos little corner of complaints

Looking at our current mobile I guess we don't have post numbers either.
One thing I've noticed that we are missing here is when we are replying it would be good to be able to scroll up to look at the previous posts. We are able to do that on the current forum. This is handy if you need to review what you are responding to, also allows you to add post quotes.

@SteveC that is definitely on the list of things to do.
Right now I am working on a module for translating BBCode as the only pre-built one is 11 years old.
Insert freaking out smiley here.
I'm not using an 11 year old plugin.
Insert Thwack smiley here.
And it's a bit more complicated than I'd intended, but it's twenty years of forum posts and it's worth the effort.
When/if I manage to get anywhere with that I'll look at adding the posts to the reply screen- we definitely need that.

Okay, that's turning out to be a bigger job than I should start halfway through the day.
I'll tackle that tomorrow and see if I can get the posts to show up first

Thanks for all your hard work. I hope I'm helping with suggestions and not adding more grief to the process.

It's not grief- it's a shitload more work than I thought it was, and it makes me appreciate Micah more than ever, but it's worth every minute I'm spending on it.
I really don't want this software change to kill the forum, and every different detail has the potential to do that. This place has to give as close to the experience of SMF as possible- sometimes I'm a bit annoyed at your comments (I liked the other colors :insert Thwack smiley here:) but you are absolutely right, and I'll get over being annoyed!
Keep up the great work- I really do appreciate it, even if I grumble about it from time to time. And, even if I don't, I can't argue with making the forum better- the members deserve it.

@Defender Hang in there, you're doing a great job !

Page numbers added instead of one long thread with 1,000 replies.
Currently limited to 20 posts per page instead of 25 on SMF. I feel like that's good enough (for now at least) but it's easy to change is anyone gets upset at missing five posts per page.
-
Yup, definitely see it on desktop.
Double fuck.

Message history is showing on desktop but I don't see it on mobile.
Fuck
Looking better now.
yes indeed
Defender said:
Also need to remove the @xxxxx again when someone clicks Reply.
Yeah yeah, don't remind me, that's next.
Please remember, don't forget
-
Done?
The @xxxxx is gone on Replies as per request.
Previous posts are now listed under the Reply window, as per request.
Multi-quote has been added, which wasn't requested, but I assume will be a matter of time.
Quote appearance has (I think) been improved and is acceptable. If not, please let me know.
Login has been added to each screen rather than just on the threads themselves.
Dark Mode toggle is on every screen rather than just the main screen.
I have worked on sizing the columns and I think they are better- let me know if that needs further tweaking.
To Be Done
BBCode has still not been enabled yet.
Treasury Module has to be built, installed and set up.
Smileys (may come with SMF import)
Smurf Filter
Let me know what else needs to be done- yesterday I almost posted this version in this thread because I wanted more feedback: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,95315.0.html
Give me all you got- this place has to be running soon! I know there is more than needs doing, so let's get it done!

Great progress
- Size of pictures in post a bit small
- Can we have the option to hide the sidebar with the community links, which makes the page wider for viewing like on the old forum.
- Seems like we lose a lot of width on the page with the tool bars / menus on either side of the page rather on top like on the old forum.

example
-
I just flagged a couple of posts from a new member for spam.
-
We need email notifications for mods still, also where do the flagged posts show the notification on the forum ?
-
Private messages ?
Yeah, I see the Forum Width has shrunk again. I will have to try and widen it out again. It got a bit messed up while I was trying to get the old posts to show up underneath. I will add that back to the list and see if I can re-widen it. #facepalm
Email isn't set up yet- that's a whole to-do with the domain and so on. I am not concerned about spam signups etc as all user accounts, posts etc here will be wiped before bringing in the SMF database. Feel free to experiment on them with impunity--- edit/delete/ban etc.
Hell, do that stuff (except banning of course, I need my three accounts (Root (Admin), Defender (Moderator) and Fred (regular member)) right now!) with my posts. That's a big part of why you are all in here- testing and training.
I'll see what I can do about picture size. That shouldn't be a big problem.
Private Messages were working- are they not now? I will send you a message to test it.
