Chesterfield Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 There may be slight slow downs at 3-5am ish as there are a few auto processes run around those hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 When you click to view new content, it shows you new content from the area of the site you are in. i.e. if you are viewing a profile, when you click view new content it shows you new members, if you are in the gallery when you click it, you get shown new gallery content. Switch to the Ultra Yellow theme, and see if the view new content works as you would like using that theme - there are a couple of tweaks Ive made to that theme for testing purposes, one of which is always to direct you to the new content of the forums, regardless of the area of the site you are in when you click it. Try that theme and let me know if the results are better - I can then roll the change out to all other themes. Okay cheers, i've swapped to UY and will report back. Hi Chris, I swapped back onto the Azure theme for the first time since the above, and straight away get hit with the 'No new content found' message when clicking 'View New Content'. I've not had this at all whilst on the UY theme and overall it has been very robust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 What section of the forum were you in when you clicked the "view new content" ?? As before if you are in the front portal page, and click view new content, it shows you new content in that area (as we havent added any new portal pages, there is no new content)..

marzman Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I have just done the following test. UY theme - while on index.html - click View new content - it works correctly. Azure theme - while on index.html - click View new content - no new content found. So whatever has been set in the UY theme that you described above appears to be making it work.

Chris`I Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yup, Chris did the tweak to the UY theme to always show new "forum" content. Need to propagate it to the other themes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I have just done the following test. UY theme - while on index.html - click View new content - it works correctly. Azure theme - while on index.html - click View new content - no new content found. So whatever has been set in the UY theme that you described above appears to be making it work. index.html is the portal page (the one with the video and latest gallery). If you click view new content on that, it shows you new portal content. There isnt any. If you are in gallery, and click new content, it shows you new gallery content If you are in the calendar list and click new content, it shows you new calendar events. What you are describing in Azure (or any theme other than Ultra Yellow) - is actually how the system is designed to work. It appears though that most people are using the view new content in order to see a list of new forum posts regardless of what they are looking at on the site at the time. Thats why weve tested the change in one theme to see if it works (you will notice that in Ultra Yellow there is also a donate button on the menu that is missing from the other themes). Once we are happy that we have one theme working properly with all the little tweaks we would like to see, then they will be replicated across the other colours. We can then use the theme with all the completed tweaks as a basis for making the 370z ones. Yes we intend to have the option for choosing a 370z to be at the top, in the range of 370z colours, but may as well have them include all the corrections from the off.

Flex Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Anyone having problems typing on here using an iphone?

Ebized Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 On the desktop I have the forum set to open on the home page. Theme is in set on Pearl. If I click on "new content" it either shows new members who have joined since my last visit, or if none "sorry no new content". If I click on "new content" again it opens up new content within the forums - some greyed out that I have previously commented on and no other posts have been made. Must admit I am not entirely sure what the cut-off point is for the new content pages but it is easy to see when you have reached postings I saw on my last visit.

Chesterfield Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The home page is the portal. (the one with the video on) If you click new content when on this page, it shows you new content for the portal. There isn't any new content on the portal, so you get "sorry no new content found". Think of it this way... the forum is no longer a forum, its several separate applications. Its a website with pages (the portal page "home" and any other specific pages we write) Its also a gallery (the gallery tab) its also a forum (the forums tab) Its also a database of members (the members tab) Its also a calendar (the calendar tab) If you are in one of those applications and click new content, it shows you new content for that application. Either way, I shall be re-writing the templates so that wherever you are, and whatever you are looking at, the "new content" button will just default to new content posted in the forums. Its just easier. If you want to search for new content in any other specific area, then when in the list of new forum posts, select an item like the gallery, members etc on the left.

Chris`I Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It is very handy to have the default set to "forum" content no matter where you come from. You can still change it to other content yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
