Yeah so I immediately can't log into the account I've had for nearly 20 years. Had to use this alternate account and I'm struggling to get anywhere on this new site.
Gonna be honest with you. I immediately hate it and I want the old site back.
It took me 20 minutes to even log into this account just to post here and I'm not eager to come back to this.
Love ya Jeff but this is not good.
I’ve been a member since 2001 and I could not log in with my info I’ve been using for 23 years. I had to create a new profile name to even post this. How can I log in with my original account?
Same issue as the previous posters. My original profile's password was not recognized, and I was locked out after a few attempts. Then I go to select the option 'forgot password' and input the email address for that profile that I had been using for over 20 years, and the system says it does not recognize that email. Please help!
Somethings has gone very wrong... I Logged in with my email (my username fightinggirl666 didn't work with the same password I used that worked on my email) and it says I am logged in as some random account called "captain benderf" lol... my email is listed against this random user, but nothing else is mine (friends, stories, rest of profile) so I guess the account migration didn't work correctly?
please fix this, thank you!
This is definitely not good, and it's my top priority. But I'm sure it can be resolved because we didn't delete the old forum, just put it on a shelf. One way or another, I'm sure we'll be able to get everyone's accounts back for them, so don't worry.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience though. Something like this was probably inevitable, because honestly I never even considered that this might happen, and that's exactly the sort of problem you run into when doing a major upgrade - the things you worried about, you ended up planning against, and it's something you never saw coming that sideswipes you.
We'll be working on it, I promise
🙂
I really don't like this. I want the old format since it's better. Not all upgrades are good. It's better to stick to the format people are used to. This is very bad format and hurts my eyes.
Unfortunately, that wasn't an option. The old forum had gotten too out-of-date and was starting to not be functional. A change had to be made.
One thing at least for me so far (and hopefully just a bug that needs work) is the home page doesnt work. I try to click the enter link and it just stays there. Have to sort of back door my way onto the site.
If you mean the front page, that used to have the picture and the big ENTER button, we decided to get rid of it and take people right to the forum. So if you had the index.html page bookmarked, that might be what you're seeing. From now on you'd just go to ticklingforum.com and you'll land right on the forum.
Personally I think the upgrade is a good start. Few thoughts - the C4S "sponsored by" at the top is a bit large and clunky. The colour scheme between read and unread could be more pronounced. The individual profile pages look quite lacking, and missing a lot of what the old profiles used to be, especially friends lists and such. The highlighting of text is also invisible.
Otherwise, quite clean
I agree about the C4S at the top, I'll be working on that. For people not on mobile, I think they're talking about how the forum looks on a phone, we placed the C4S banner at the top and it looks very large.
I'll be working on things like individual profile pages, but I'm not sure what the options will end up being.
I don't understand what you mean about the highlighting of text though? Can you describe what you mean in more detail?
The new forum looks great! Is there a way to see when a user is online like the green indicator on the old site? It's nice sometimes if you see someone else is online, particularly from your Friends List, and you can shoot them a PM...
You should see a little green icon on their name, like the one under the T in the picture below
The only issue I am seeing is under people's names that have feather levels, it's showing the coding to change the color of the text instead of actually changing the color. If you look under my avatar and name on this post, you should see what I'm talking about.
Plus my banner on my posts is not showing either.
Apparently html isn't working, it's probably disabled somewhere in the admin options of the forum. I'll hunt it down today and activate it
🙂
