On what platform? Phone? Computer?
 
FWIW its been faster than ever for me on everything but stock android browser....thats been hit or miss.
But some new features aren;t supported and wont be until ice cream sandwich.
 
Found too weird issues at least for me. first problem. When clicking on a link to read a thread in the forum the screen does not go to the beginning of the thread it goes to the end of the thread or occasionally go's randomly to the middle of a multi page thread. example when I clicked on the link for this thread it put me on page 4 instead of the beginning of page 1. second thing I found. on the old forum what I've visited all the new threads were darker were bold color. when I came back the old threads we're no longer bold and only the new threads with new postings were bold. Now all those threads stay bold unless I read them or mark them as read by clicking the link they no longer automatically update.
 
If this happened the first time you've been logged on since the new software was rolled out last Saturday, or when logging in after a few days, it's assuming you've read everything older than a certain date... It is taking you to the newest post since that date/time. If you click the "mark forums read" button at the top left, it will make only new-to-you threads bold after that... if you don't click that button, it will eventually mark older threads as, "Threads below have not been updated since your last visit but have unread messages."

Clear as mud?

What is "forever"? How many seconds does it take to load a thread? What is that compared to other sites you visit?

Chad what browser (internet explorer, firefox, chrome, etc.) are you using and what version?
On my work computer they force us to use a very outdated version of IE and it is s-l-o-w...on my other computers using updated IE it is smoking fast.
Also if anyone is using a pre XP OS...well there appears to be way more memory usage with the new build.

As far as the so called upgarde, the old software retired it is no longer available.....i understand the new look is tough but its like otching about new cars not having carbs...it aint going backwards
 
Yeah, give a newer browser a try. Firefox, IE, Chrome, shouldn't matter, so long as it's somewhat recent.

Just for reference, it took the server 0.0842 seconds to render this page. Most of the delay after that was transmitting the data from LA to here and waiting for my browser to put it all together.
 
The first time I opened things up since the upgrade, everything was super slow in Firefox. It has been plenty quick every time after that.
 
Yeah, the very first time you visit, the server has to create a bunch of permission masks, you download a bunch of files that mostly stay cached locally after that, etc.

But after the first visit, it should be pretty quick.
 
AW CRAP THEN........I am also using a computer at work "the only one I have access to", and it is bout 8 years old and runs on the

internet explorer as well, that explains the painfully SSSSSSLOW wait times on everything then :eek:
 
Does your employer let you install your own software on the machine? Try Chrome or a newer version of Internet Explorer.
 
"watched threads" shows I have no watched threads. I edited one of my watched threads and the box for wathed is checked. Then I clicked watched threads in my profile again and still shows no watched threads.
 
Are you looking at new watched threads, or ALL watched threads?
 
Since the upgrade I have an avatar pic. How can I change it? I can't find "edit avatar" anywhere.
 
near the top right you should see your name.
click it and a drop down should appear. In the left column about 2/3rds the way down you will see avatar click that.

Nah, that won't work. No diamond, no permission to change the avatar. Which really asks the question... how did you get an avatar, and if its not your Cherokee, whose is it? We may never know. :alien:



Either way, I can delete it for you. Just say the word.
 
ive noticed a few no diamond with avatar i jst ASSUMEd it was the old glitch where you could assign an avatar as a memebr and when member expired avatar stayed.
 
When I open almost any page or thread whether Ive opened it before or not, it automatically jumps down about half the page like it's going to where I left off. But it does it on every thread I open.
 
It automatically takes you to the first "unread" post. If you've clicked the "Mark Forums Read" button, then that sets a new placeholder for what you have and haven't read. It assumes you've read everything posted up to that moment, and then takes you to the next newest thing.

If you click on the "lastest reply" link on the front page (over on the far right in the forum index), it takes you to the very last post in the thread.

If you've never read a thread, or you've read all the posts in a thread, it takes you to the very beginning of the thread.

If you click on the date the thread was started (under the thread title in the thread list), it takes you to the beginning.

You can verify this yourself by checking the URLs for each of the links. If the URL ends in /unread or /posts/984066, it's taking you to someplace at the middle/end of the thread.
 
Haha. It's my jeep in the avatar but just an old pic. I don't know how it got there either. Doesn't bother me, just thought I could update it.
