[07-MAR-2016] Current status of BLF upgrade process

Hmm, seems to work for me. Is it possibly the issue I mentioned earlier in this thread where slow-loading images cause the page to “bounce” even though it starts off loading at the right post?

Yes I know that you make heavy use of the email notifications. Meanwhile don’t forget about the My Subscriptions page for keeping track of activity in your subscribed posts. The page with its new post notifications is still working fine, it’s just the email notifications that are broken.

As someone else mentioned, you can just click on the user’s profile to see what they have filled in for the location. But I’ll still try to figure out a way to get it back on the user’s details in the thread.

Yeah, I tried to change the TTL a few days before starting the migration, but my registrar told me they don’t allow changing it, and that it’s only set to 3600 seconds anyway.

I think the few remaining users with DNS problems still are the ones on corporate networks with local DNS caches that aren’t being refreshed.

Actually I was thinking about this too. But that would also create other problems such as massive 100% banners on a normal screen in maximized mode.

Ha, isn’t that the truth!

Hmm, it seems to work for me with the Simple Post Editor:

Perhaps i have not explained it well, if i see a page that says for example “2 new” i can click on “2 new” and it goes to the right post
If i click on the thread and not “2 new”, it opens from the start, it says 2 new near the top right, but there is not a link to go to the first new post like there used to be.

And in the Advanced Post Editor:

Ah sorry, gotcha now. Did you try the “First unread” button?

I did not notice it, i used to click on the X new, legacy knowledge scratch_one-s_head
sorry about that

Update looks good! Like others, I miss seeing the users location (without clucking to see their profile). I came to this thread about email notifications not working, but I see it’s already a known issue (i.e. I’m not getting any BLF emails for new posts in threads I’m subscribed to).

Ah thanks, the smiley configuration is really janky on this version. I’ll basically have to add them in one by one.

Interesting observation, thanks.

Still looking for a solution. I thought I had it yesterday with the “Tracker” functionality, but that had the side effect of showing everyone’s browsing habits to the entire world, so not a good solution. I’ll figure something out though.

I just now added the user location thing to the first post in this thread.

How do i see my browsing habits?

Can i make a suggestion, signatures seem to look like part of a reply, not sure why they didn’t before the upgrade, but perhaps smaller test, or italics or something or some spaces might help?

This is another gotcha. I’ll add it to my todo list.

That was the problem, I had to disable it because making it visible to you would make it visible to everyone.

SB, for whatever reason the “mark all read” button is missing the button image on my system. Even after several page reloads. Did the image get lost?

I’m not sure what’s wrong, but none of the pictures I have been posting are embedding correctly anymore. Sb, I’m guessing you are working on soemthing, but maybe you can use this thread if you need a case study. My pictures were working fine earlier today.
