The site looks rather skewed - Page 2

hmm, guess the signature thing went away. It was available for a couple hours, and I was messing around with it...

SammyB · Oct 28, 2009, 12:35 PM

How about the fact that all the threads in My rcg are now bold regardless of how old they are? I used to use the boldness to determine if a thread had something new in it.

kmart · Oct 28, 2009, 12:36 PM

I think that is just a by-product of the update. It should go back to normal once your RCG times out...

Way to busy in my opinion. And most people dont pick the correct tag for the given thread anyway. So why show it on the home page?

Wonder if we will get back the option to go to our blogs from myrcgroups tab?

Search is also broken.. sort of.

If you search "find posts by user" (not threads started by a user...)- choose to view in 'thread' view - you only get 'threads' started by the user. This should return all the THREADS you've ever posted in. Regardless of if you started the thread or not.

If you do that same search, but view in 'posts' view - you see all posts you've made ( across all threads ), regardless if you started it or not.

I've reported it, as have a few other users.

Site updates are 'fun'...

You have to click on "Last Page" on each of those threads to make it go away.

SammyB · Oct 28, 2009, 01:23 PM

What an upgrade! Thanks!

34Ford · Oct 28, 2009, 01:24 PM

If you had any friends on the site - they're gone... At least mine are!

Yep, your right, no friends now. And I noticed I have a "people who visited" my blog now, including Jim Graham.

Oops. no more "ignore" either.

You can access your blog from any forum page by clicking on your user name in the breadcrumb bar (where it says "welcome, 34Ford")

That's so silly, I bet they are still working on things....

Related topics will be back.

The RCG authors were able to use the signatures for the short time after the upgrade.

You can click on the "mark forums read" link at the home page to the same effect. We'll place that link in a more prominent place.

Yes, I hope that goes back to normal soon.

I like a couple of the new features, but so far I still like the old site better.

Mike's fix in a few posts up works. It's more of me just being a crab because things aren't like they used to be. RCG is one of the best sites out there. I am sure they will get everything fixed.
