Management Matt Posted March 25, 2010 Management Share Posted March 25, 2010 Small update on share links: Share links won't log if a search engine spiders the link and it also tests for 'double presses' or rapid refreshes so you can't drive the counter up now.

TCWT Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Should make Forum the default in "Search in section". Make the Advanced Search more obvious, instead of an icon. At least add a tooltip. Many won't know how to get to it. Add back "All Forums", as default..most search all forums plus not many will know how to use the control key to select the forums they want to search. It's annoying having to do that every time. What happened to "Search in child forums if sub category is chosen?" Still no scrollbars in search results. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditchmonkey Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 If it wasn't for all my friends on Facebook I could quit using Facebook with all these Facebook like features!

Iestyn Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I have to say, I'm impressed with new search engine!! That was the most annoying issue and I really don't care about anything else, as long, as the search works. I just gave it a couple of shots only, but it looks good so far. Maybe, maybe, drop-down menu is little bit confusing: I think, it should say "All Forums", instead of "Forums" and it could be moved either above "Help Files", or even made as default, instead of "This topic". Agreed. Also if you dont put anything in the search box and click on the search button it actually searches for 'search...' which i think is a bit odd. It shouldn't search for anything unless someone has put something in there =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike X Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Regarding notifications / pop-ups: Hear you loud and clear. We'll have a meeting of minds and get back to you. :) That is great news, are you familiar with Facebook Notifications? I hope you can do the same. "Notifications" link should appear somewhere in the header and when you click on it, it should show like a menu. If there is any new Notifications has arrived (Real Time / Ajax) it should show green circle with number of update just like the inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with something like a number on the members profile picture (same as when there are unread PM's), but maybe in a different color on the bottom right instead of the top right. Also wouldn't mind if the pop up notification only happened under certain circumstances, such as having no pending notifications or having a new one since your last session expired. That way it gets your attention once but then no more until either you've cleared all your notifications or your session expires and you return for another visit. I would like to have a PM pop up as before when I have a new PM waiting, I rather miss that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this. When members do a search, 9/10 times it's going to want to search ALL the forums...not this topic. It should be the default.

Luke Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I would love to see a way for a user to collapse or customize what is in the side panel. To me the shared links panel is completely useless. I don't use watched topics at all, but for someone that does it would be annoying to have that all the way at the bottom. Would be cool to be able to add/remove/order them in the UserCP.

Tanax Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I have to say, I'm impressed with new search engine!!

Maybe, maybe, drop-down menu is little bit confusing: I think, it should say "All Forums", instead of "Forums" and it could be moved either above "Help Files", or even made as default, instead of "This topic". I do not agree that "Forums" should be made default instead of "This Topic". If a member is in a topic, and wants to search it's more likely they want to search the topic. If they are NOT in a topic however, but in a forum, it's more likely they want to search the forum. If they're at the index, it's most likely they want to search all forums. This is not only "more likely" but also more logically layed out. IPB have done it exactly correct. Regarding "Forums" vs "All Forums" it can be debatable. Not big of a deal. It can be viewed from different points of view. One might say that "Forums" makes more sense since it's the Forum App you're searching. Otherwise "Gallery" should be renamed as "All galleries". On the other hand, one might say that it actually is all forums you are searching so it makes more sense to call it "All Forums" - again, should it not be called "All Galleries", "All Blogs", etc, then aswell?

3DKiwi Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Here's something I don't like and doesn't look particularly good in my opinion. Surely there's a better way of designing things so that the empty space can be filled with the stats? I know the first thing that I'll be doing after upgrading to 3.1 is losing the shared links block. 3DKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interferon Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 On the default tab in a user profile, where there is a list of status updates like the Facebook "wall", I think having a comment box after each one is excessive. A small link below each should be used to open the comment box. Only one comment box at a time should be visible. On the forum status updates hook, the last three comments to a status update should be visible by default. The comment box should only appear after the user clicks a small link to add a comment. Only one comment box at a time should be visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ᴡᴅツ Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I performed minor edits on the default skin on 3.0.5. If I upgrade to 3.1, will I have to redo these changes again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I performed minor edits on the default skin on 3.0.5. If I upgrade to 3.1, will I have to redo these changes again? Depends on the bits you edited. If the bit goes unchanged from 305 to 310, then no. But if there are parts upgraded, then you'll want to revert back to the default skin and make the edits again so that you gain the benefits of 310 features.

ᴡᴅツ Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Oh, so the template is upgraded selectively (only changed bits are accounted for) as opposed to a holistic modification, i.e., removing default skin, adding new default skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJB Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Looks good guys! As already mentioned the Notifications is to in your face, needs to be made alot smaller maybe a drop down menu notification similar to Facebook although wouldn't copy it exactly don't want to end up like Facebook. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
