Fair question, give us credit for sticking with unsupported software for 10+ years, the software was actually 15 years old. If FerrariChat wants to maintain traffic, then we needed to be more mobile responsive as upwards 60% of traffic now mobile along with some features to attract younger demographic. Notice how last 5+ years we haven't attracted the twenty-somethings anymore. I am well aware our established older users don't like change, we put it off long as we could, but there is a tipping point and I think this was OK timing to balance things. With the Old style we tried to give these established users something more familiar, while also getting the benefits a new design and functionality. Will it ever be perfect for everyone? NO. Our hope is over short-term there are many more benefits to the overall community than the things we lose.
Maybe a problem with the umlaut? It's not so common in the anglo-saxon world. Best from Germany Martin
It must be the "ü" His username was switched to NürScud we will get this fixed, but see if that works for him so he can at least get online for now
Using classic view, it appears images are higher res than before (images posted prior). So that is a positive
Clicking on the photos makes them a little larger but they still have some kind of framing issue. Probably better to just make them larger in the original post than give a marginal larger zoom. How many ads to Rossa subscribed need to see? I have two google ads on the right side and some kind of footer ad at the bottom. I'd rather just see the sponsor ads like the old way. The right side is a huge waste of space. And on the iPad, you have to scroll one screen down just to see the text on the first post. Robb
I know it will be a work in progress for a while. There are some things that are better and as we learn specifics will just get better. Robb
Seems to be starting to be better to view on iPad now. No more big waste of space on the right of screen. Now just fix the avatars, pic posting, and ads between posts and we might be getting there.
Guys - suggestion: When posting feedback, please be sure to post the theme style, view from PC, Mobile or tablet. Each platform is functioning differently and they need to know what you are seeing to make corrections.
It seems, that I cannot clean out my PM box, which is now called 'conversations'. At least I can't find the right button. Can anyone point me in the right direction to delete single PMs? Best Regards and thanks in advance Martin (PC, new theme, Windows7)
I'm sure someone has already mentioned it, but it's very challenging to navigate on my cell phone. The large space on the right really messes it up. Android Phone.
Guys, what happened with the 'read' and 'unread' status? Also where is the choice of 'mark forum read'? Thank you inadvance
Rob - so I'm clear - imagines for signatures (if I understand correct) are links (images hosted elsewhere). Is this going to be changed to allow an upload of an imagine? I hope so. Thanks.
That appears to be correct. You can mark and unmark "conversations" as read, but you can't delete them. There is a drop down menu after you tick the select box, but "delete" is not a choice.
Classic theme, viewed on PC, Embedded YouTube videos not showing up (videos embedded prior to site update) Edit - tried new theme too (on PC) and same issue.
No, every Ferrari enthusiast is the target audience. In 2005 we had 16-100, last 5 years has been 30-100 and getting worse. Most of the 25-30's were here 10 years ago, not gaining new fresh members. In 10 years those 30-40's will be a major ownership block of Ferraris and the 100's will be dead.
the latter has no solution at the moment, but we will look at it in the future for the first issue: "show all watch threads" s Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here is running bug list for everyone to reference so that we do we don't have duplicates. I will update with new bugs periodically and post again as thread goes on... some characters did not translate NürScud changed to NÃ1Ž4rScud (may have affected many users, very important) can’t search 3 character terms “250 gto” (need add on, what did we decide?) sponsor page not mobile friendly is there a way to view site like desktop on mobile device mobile view, new style, latest forum post title missing Profanity filter- I just put some quick words in there, but maybe could be better way to sort thread so newest posts show first? vbulletin style, images not appearing inline vbulletin style, no way to collapse forums vbulletin style, show thread page numbers in forum view without hovering Quotes and other characters are showing up as their XML equivalent (don't know what this is, but user mentioned it) have the media types been updated with the new design e.g. "xls" to "xlsx" ect? In mobile view, new style, the following does not display: signature, Full name, join date, post count display more then 20 posts per page (old site had option for 100) avatar cropping issue on ipad, crops automatically? watched threads only display unread ones, not all watched from watched threads, no way to go to last post (only last page) many users don’t like right side of screen, especially when you scroll past and it becomes wasted space (not a bug just an opinion) Need to show all User Groups in post header correctly. Server errors in admin log. Shouldn’t be able to IMG tag or embed remote image links, ALL images should be forced to be uploaded to server.
This is due the difference in the link between "http" and "https" https is new norm (see below) old site was way behind the times
