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.

It's not for me. Neither is the mentions or the reps one that I mentioned a few posts up

[OriolesMagicPlease]

Question: will there be a way to sort the posts following the articles, from oldest to newest for example?

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 imagine 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

[Moderator 2]

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 !

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!

Please make the star or circle clickable at all times.  Don't grey it out.  There are times when I've already read the last post (and have clicked the circle or star), but would like to get to the last post again.  Once it's greyed out, you need to click on title (which takes you to first post) and then manually go to the last post.  Horrible navigation!

Yeah I will second this.

Beyond that I am plenty used to the new format and am moving along just fine.

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.

We think it's because deleted posts (whether by you or the mods) used to still count towards post count, and those are what disappeared during the upgrade. Not positive, but that's our best guess - it happened to a lot of people.

Okay, got it.  Makes sense.  I used to have a lot of stuff deleted in my first 2, more confrontational years.

OK, not being able to disable the email setting on PMs is getting ridiculous. I just deleted 36 emails from the past 24 hours, and there are 15 that arrived in my spam folder through no doing of my own. Even my email provider thinks that setting needs to be an option again.

Try again, I was able to adjust mine

It wasn't working last night, but now it is. That's a huge relief, clearing that many emails a day was a pain.

I don't mind the emails (helps me with trade talks for the forum mock), but I didn't like having the notification on the notification spot and the inbox spot right next to each other.

The settings finally got "freed" so you can adjust most of them.

It's a liberating feeling. Now I can do my Julie Andrews impressions in the mountains again.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Am I the only one not getting notifications now?  I'm no longer getting the dual notifications for a PM, but I'm not getting any notifications that I've been mentioned or quoted in threads.

[52520Andrew]

Yeah I am not getting notified if I get mentioned now
