Toasted Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 How do I turn off signatures? They're more annoying than on the old site. Otherwise, I really like the improvement. It feels a lot more modern. Quote
Ou7shined Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1316422025' post='1377696'] I turn notifications off when i went to bed. I knew what i would find if i didnt. Just as well this thread slowed down over night. [/quote] I coulda done too but I wanted to see what would happen. And my finding are that there doesn't see to be any consistency with the notifications. From this thread alone I had a single notification containing 7 replies plus a further (say) 7 individual replies. The potential to be like it was before is there... it just doesn't happen every time. Quote

[/quote] Hover over someone's signature, and you'll see a little cross at the right-hand side of the signature. Click it, and it gives you the option of ignoring that signature, or ignoring all signatures. Turning them back on... I have no idea. Edited September 19, 2011 by BottomEndian Quote

I do, and it groups reply notifications from each user into a conversation thread. So if someone replies to a thread 7 times, there'll be 7 notifications in one conversation in Gmail, and another Gmail conversation for each responder to the thread. Quote

I am and that does seem to be the case. It didn't used to be like this before though - they all used to come in as general Basschat notifications linked by the section of the forum it originated from not the member. Quote

dave_bass5 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I think part of the email problem is that this thread is moving very fast so we are getting a lot more notifications than from a normal slow moving thread. Still not ideal though. Quote

janmaat Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 [quote name='janmaat' timestamp='1316382443' post='1377458'] I confess that I don't like the facebook integration at all. Every time you visit a page that has a facebook like button on it, information about you is sent to facebook via that iframe. Even if you don't click "like", the fact that you visit this site is transmitted to facebook (if you are logged into fb on another tab, for instance). If you log into fb later, it can see you have been visiting this site. If you do not have an fb account, but create one in the future, all the past data that has already been collected will be used by facebook and sold for advertisement purposes. You will soon see all these bass related adds on your facebook page... One of the German states has now made the facebook like button ILLEGAL for this reason... I have removed it from all the sites I am running... And would seriously like you guys to do the same, do me a favour. What the hell, we don't need facebook do we, licking up to such a ... well ...

Shonks Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) how can I edit the title of a post? eg: when a bass is sold or the conditions have changed. I cant seem to find a way of editing the 'title' as the 'edit option' seems to only allow change to the content. please advise...thanks BTW: and what about titling a link has that option also gone? Do you have to know HTML code to do it? Edited September 19, 2011 by Shonks Quote

That should (used to) let you edit the title. Quote
Toasted Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 When trying to open new threads I keep getting messages that the site is down. Quote
FlatEric Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Wow! Not been here for a few days, come back and. . . . . . . it's all different! Errrm, think I'll take a bit of a tour, see you in a bit! Quote
barneyg42 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Whilst I appreciate it's all new and things take a while to sort out I'm not liking the mobile side of things, I'm trying to look at the latest posts on a thread ie "how was your gig last night" and the button on the left takes me to posts from 2008! I then can't shortcut to the end without scrolling through about 120 pages. Of course I might be missing something here, please tell me if so! Also the mobile interface does not allow you to change your setting etc, just a basic menu, will this change? Would really like the option to use the full site as before although I'm sure I read somewhere this will be added soon. Quote

icastle Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Erm... Is the really slow response time due to tweaks and/or maintenance work going on? It's taking me around 45 seconds to open each page despite having a 6Mbps connection... I'm pretty close to the skirting board at the best of times but this is driving me up the wall! Quote
Ou7shined Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Wah I can keep up with all the emails. (not complaining just saying like) Quote
