Usually when you hoveer over icons, your shown what they are.
The magnifying glass - nothing e.g. search
The bell - nothing. e.g. Alerts
Nothing on the other two either maybe "Control Panel" for one.

 

Well, no... In New posts, all what you have read recently, disapears.

well...yes...There doesn't seem to be much sorting of threads. Many threads are in most categories.
So why even have them. I liked the small number of categories before the update.

You still haven't fixed the rendering of TeX in blog entries. This is a major annoyance.

 

Didn't the alert bell show the number of alerts? (orange theme BTW)

Usually an upgrade gets a few blips. This one is something else. Maybe it's a "downgrade"?

It should be, perhaps you don't have alerts?
Thanks for the kind words -- Cheers

 

I did the the number once when I had alerts/

The alert generated by your post I did not see the number

 

Just previously AAC was handy, well organized and bug-less. Now it is nightmare. Im very sorry it was decided to kill a good site.

Why the change? What was wrong with the previous version that this version solves?

 

Some of you guys complaining are on ETO. Don't you remember this change happening there? The old software is being phased out, ETO said all of this when they changed over. ETO was just ahead of the curve on the change.

 

I placed text, then a pic, more text, then a pic, last more
text. Once posted the text between pics and after the last
pic the text disappeared.

I had to move all the text to beginning in order to make the
post work.

Regards, Dana.

 

The number of alerts is now appearing by the bell.

 

I like (and prefer) my avatar. That ladybug is with me for more than 12 years now. A reminder of a happy moment in my life.

I have no problem seeing your ladybug avatar. Has this been resolved for you?

 

Tip for everyone.
Click on New Posts.
Click on Filters on right side of the screen. Select the filter option you prefer. Select Save as default.

 

The issue with Safari on an old iPad 5.1.1 is still unresolved.
When I try to read a thread, posts are visible for a split second. Then the post goes blank with only #1 in orange/red showing in the right hand corner. The page header seems almost correct. Clicking on #1 reloads the page and the above sequence repeats.

Can someone compare with a more recent OS on iPad?

 

first of all thank you considering user feedback. please note, this is not a rant, i am just trying to be constructive and present my point of view.

i tried Classic but it does not look enough like Classic i was used to so I decided to simply try the new style and see how it goes.

either way I find navigation and readability to be ok, although not quite optimal:

1. important/current things should be standing out. that is not exactly the case. for example to me date when post was made is much more important than date when poster joined the forum. why is the post date faded and placed below join date? displaying join date in every post is redundant. if i cared to know when someone joined the forum, i would expect to find this info when checking profile of that member. imho showing this in every post is not important.

2. yes i can bookmark particular page rather than go to main page. but this is not what i like. this is not the only website i frequent and each and every one of them eventually migrates or get upgraded etc. i don't want to be a slave to constant bookmark management. i want to get to main site and get to place i need in one or two clicks. AAC does not exactly give me that. i click on FORUM only to get another menu. then bunch of "tiles" that get rearranged and i need a lot of scrolling to get to something... not fan of scrolling, specially long distances. not sure what is the best way but i would appreciate if things could fit on one screen and be in same relation to each other before one enters specific board in the forum

3. font and theme: at first i was not big fan of orange/white theme and it grew on me. it is not exactly screaming like red on yellow... but ... there are plenty of faint gray text elements on white background and in tiny font, directly next to black on white text in huge font. maybe staring at this bright screen wont give me a cancer, but it sure cant be that good for my eyes constantly adjusting for big/small font or low contrast/high contrast.

just saying...

 

I have no problem seeing your ladybug avatar. Has this been resolved for you?

Hola MrChips.
I was simply replying to a post, stating my preference for avatars instead of letters. No problem with the ladybug. Thanks.

 

Many threads are in most categories.

This is fixed by tomorrow.

 

The one problem I have seen is that with iOS Safari, I do not get the notification annunciator, which is sort of problematic.

 

Annunciator works for me on iOS 13 w/ Firefox and safari. iPhone and iPad, iThink

I was having problems with that even before the change. Found an app called Night Eye that works wonderfully for me. You might want to check it out...

 

Night Eye? Tell me more, please?
