Forum software upgrade on the way

Yes it works, Even if it's just bolded the poster will see that the notification has been processed correctly when their note is posted.
Minor point I know but it seems more satisfying knowing that the notification is done correctly.

I've tentatively set it to blue. I fell out of love with the sickly green that we used for links and mentions on the old software but as I said, I'm terrible at color co-ordination and am happy to take suggestions. Link colour is important. We all have to live with it, so it should be something that works for most of us.

On an unrelated note I am happy to see people starting to use the "Great content" reaction and I urge people to use it whenever they see a post that they think contains great content. Please use it on old content as well as new. I will try and work out how posts can be sorted according to how many "Great content" reactions they receive so we can sort the best ASF content as voted by forum members.

I've just found my new favourite button on ASF. I've always headed to the start of the last page of the thread I'm interested in and scrolled down to the new post. In some threads this involved a lot of scrolling (think bigdog's overnight summary posts).

My new fav button is the "Jump to new". Hey, it was probably there the old format as well, but I never noticed it.
This old dog learns one new trick at a time.

It took me more than one hour to read and consider replies on the stock threads. This is no good Joe.
Earlier in the year it took me 5 minutes.

See what happens when we are getting younger...

Maybe the quality of content in stock threads is getting better.

Either that or....

A small problem I think.

Garpal Gumnut started a thread called "Voluntary Euthanasia" , mentioning @Julia . When I clicked or cursored over the link to Julia, I got details for Ann.

Although the link in this post goes to the real Julia.

Hello Joe
There seems to be an issue with post timing with yesterday's posts showing as 'today'. I am on WA time.

Joe

Hi Joe, this should now be fixed. For some reason your time zone in your account preferences was set to Irkutsk, Russia. I changed it to Perth.

This is also fixed. Please see my post in the Voluntary Euthanasia thread.

We have also been having issues with outgoing emails. If you are set up to receive thread notification alert emails please note that you may have missed some (or all) of them since the upgrade on Saturday night.

However, the issue now appears to be resolved. Hopefully it is.

Request being able to posting sequence sort to "lastest" posting and system is currently the oldest first

I can not find how to change this in my "Preferences"



1. I used my programed icon below which always displayed the latest posting

NYSE Dow Jones finished today at:

The NYSE and NYSE Arca are Closed on Monday, January 15 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day

www.aussiestockforums.com

this displays now my very first posting in 2007





2. click page 189 being the last page


3. I then scroll down page 189 to find last entry posted




4. I find the entry to "Reply" to add today's data

The bad news is I have so far been unable to locate this functionality in the form of an add-on for the new software. I have found one add-on that reverses the posting order on a per forum basis for all users, but not one which allows it as an individual user setting.

Sorry @bigdog. I will keep looking but at the moment it's not looking good.

 

[Joe Blow]

Can those who have opted to receive thread notification emails please let me know if they are currently receiving them?

We seem to be have having an issue with new members not receiving their email confirmation emails and I'm trying to figure out who is receiving what emails.

Thanks for your help.

 

[SirRumpole]

I have watched this thread with emails so I'll let you know if I receive any.

OK, well I guess I'd better just reply to your post to trigger an alert. No point waiting around for someone else to do it.

 

[Joe Blow]

Sorry about that brief outage folks. I made a foolish blunder but recovered quickly.

No email received.

No email received.

Well that's interesting because the system said it was sent. So something is clearly wrong. Can you check your spam or junk folder for me just to be sure. Thanks.
