This whole merging of consecutive posts thing is awful for us in the forum mock. 

That might be my bad, I was looking at it went I went in to fix the players name, I could have bumped it.  If it's not on everything is gray so you don't know what you are looking at unless it's moved.  I'll go check, game days that would be UGLY!

It was a check box that got unchecked

Thanks I will take care of it-- blowing up profanity filters everywhere lol 

I do know it is being worked on.  In order to give the Flock all the videos, streaming and pictures they had to modernize the platform and make a good mobile experience.  What bothers you the most, the look, color scheme?   

What is his name?

Has there been any talk about the random, completely pointless members list on the right side of the screen, like Andrew mentioned?  Seems like a complete waste considering we have the same thing at this bottom.

 No that is on my to do email ......I keep telling my self baby steps lol  The Code of Conduct is available        I'm going to suggest pulling the status updates  until Twitter is  Twitterpated so the diarrhea of useless stuf stops.

I see no real point in doing that as any actual status updates are getting flooded out for the most part by it. And that random members list is still there for some reason

By all means please discuss legal stuff it will pull this other crap down.  

I have heard it both ways we have 3 kids/3PSL's to put in our will someday. You could pull your original agreement or call the Ravens Ticket office 410-261-7283! 

 I do know other teams do make you re-buy them, it became an issue when the St. Louis Rams announced their move to LA .

I would, I read somewhere that Under Armour will be doing uniforms next year or two, I could be wrong, but I am holding out for that.  I was not fond of the Nike product in 1999 they just don't fit my body correctly.

The one with the twenty year patch is not a premier like the 149.00 dollar one meaning the first one has all iron on stuff where as the premier has a the sewn numbers and letters and I personally think they  look better.

Cranberry meatballs, nachos, chili , tater tots .  We took food off the menu since of the three biggest appetites 2 left last minute to go to a friends house and the other going out to über.

Has this been sent to whoever for review?  I made mention of this 2 or 3 times.  Also asked why post counts are lower.  I am short 500 or so posts, not that it matters, just curious why they disappeared. 

I sent it with the first day stuff.

after what john elway did and said about the colts,
I am anti elway,

Agreed!  Too bad because I have a lot of respect for Peyton, he just played for two teams I can't stand,

Thanks Mod 2!

Don't mean to follow up more on this, so just a question to myself - Does it mean that immediately following the upgrade we didn't have IPS4 running with standard behavior in place, since it clearly worked for about a week?

Whenever any IT gets rolled out there are issues-a piece of code could get corrupted, you can't simulate 'live' action- we  were not the test group so we got the good version. An admin could have accidentally  toggled the wrong switch trying to check out all the bells and we may have our board configured differently then the test board lots of factors go into it.  Invision could not have been any more responsive to looking into anything we reported plus helping the mod group.  

I appreciate those of you who took the time to post 'bugs' here instead of random stuff in the blogs or the random 'I hate this update' and wanders off to re-post the same thing.  Hopefully when this stuff gets fixed we will be ready for free agency next month!

This is what I submitted and the answers I received:

To go down each item:

Clicking "Mark site read" (upper right on the forum index page) used to redirect to the index page itself since the upgrade. Now it doesn't - rather leaves you on the current page. Is it possible to have the redirect back?
Unfortunately not; this is the standard behavior in IPS4.

The third thing I'd add is the option to make thread pages smaller on mobile (ie, fewer posts per page). My browser's already crashed a few times and I can foresee it getting ugly when the mock draft starts.
It isn't possible to have different numbers of posts in topics on desktop vs. mobile because both desktop and mobile are actually seeing the same theme, it just adjusts for the display. Additionally, URLs such as /topic-title/?page=2 wouldn't work if there were a different number of posts shown depending on device.

Overall I don't mind the new layout as I do my posting on desktop now. But there are a few simple fixes that would go a long way to make the forums easier to browse on. Starting with adding that central hyperlink to go straight to the home page.
This is something I took care of yesterday for you (you can click the Ravens icon now to go back to the forums home)

Another small bug that I noticed..when I go to submit a post the "notify me of replys" button says "this feild is required" -even though I selected one. Usually I'll have to toggle it back and forth or just hit the submit button several times for the post to go through and register.
That isn't something I've heard of before. We can do some tests and see if we can reproduce.

Otherwise, getting to the last read post by simply clicking on the thread title would be nice again. The star/circle on the left does work, but it's very small. I struggle with it at times, so I can't imagine what people with "fat fingers" are going through.
This was behavior that was specific to the mobile skin in IPB3 (the main desktop version didn't work that way). In IPS4 we standardized it so that the topic title takes you to the first post, and the 'unread' icon takes you to the last unready . That said, this feedback has come up before, and we have a discussion internally about either changing the way we handle it, or offering it as a option to users. So - bear with us on that one:).

I also resubmitted that we still can't set our permissions so hang in there people.  They are working with us quite well and I'm glad !

Yeah, still been disabled for me too.

I'm also still on board for the option of having fewer posts per page. It's a pretty common option on other forums so I imagin e it wouldn't be too complex to resolve. Thanks again for whoever put that link to the homepage on that Ravens logo at the top though!

   I was going  by what I was told by Invision so I will resubmit it

Why don't we have the option to disable emails whenever a PM arrives? I finally got around to switching them off because it's a pain to get 30 emails a day, but it seems like a curious thing to remove the option on.

It is fixed toggle away at the bell.

That option is not currently available, there

I sent off a list last night and it reads like this

• - [ ] My other complaint would be with navigation. Unless I'm missing the button (thought it might have been the centered ravens logo on mobile) getting back to the boards main page from here requires me to hit back to this forum, back to the   Subset of forums, and then to the main page. The old way where the center link took you back to the main page was quicker to navigate and more user friendlier.
•  I got an alert that someone quoted a post i made. Problem is, I didn't post either the comment or the response, it was 2 other people. Second, the LFW article, 2-1-16 said comments loading forever, then said, sorry, comments not loading. This happened twice and still have not seen comments. Also,I keep asking if the website will go back to format which allows the "like" arrows. Thus far the up and down arrows are only showing up in forums but not in the articles from the home page. Could someone please answer the question regarding whether the "like" button feature will be included in the main articles as well, if you know?                                                                                                                                
• Button at the bottom for the tablet crew.
•   Can we have the 'Cancel' button back in the comment post/edit section.

All of this was passed to the developers at Invision.

The two times I rode the light rail other then thinking I was a sardine as packed in we were no problem.  Those same 'drunks' were in the stadium with you.

If you have kids it goes double time, I'm still in mourning the loss of J lot it still feels last year  and Joe Flacco is 31 with 8 years in the league.

Do you have something called 'theme' at the bottom?  That's what I used.

We hear your complaints loud and clear, but please note:

The moderators have nothing to do with the software design and implementation.  That is totally at a higher pay grade.  :-)

We HAD to move up to the newer release since the one we were on is obsolete and no longer stable or supportable.   Our choice was to upgrade or die.  Once complete and fully debugged, this new version WILL be faster and more stable.

When we mentioned other teams going to this format, it's because it's true.  See the Colts site for an example.  They were the beta site for the rollout.  The NFL wants consistency across the team sites.  

Please continue being patient while we all adjust to this change.

Thank you

Thanks mod 2. Just pass on the word to the admins that I like sprinkles on my ice cream.

Me too lol

We know what we are told and as soon as I know I will post it.  The bloggers/ admins  would much rather have the Flocks ability to post in a smooth stable manner then the ability to neg rep someone, they are quite aware of members liking that function .  Think of the rep system as sprinkles on your ice cream -- can't have the the sprinkles if the cream is a solid block.

You are going to find strange things as the kinks are worked out..

Passed on to Invision via our admins.
