Hi Try this. Turn notifications off completely. To see if someone has posted on a thread you have participated in, use the filters in the new content box. Now you can see everything far more easily than before.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1316569625' post='1379875'] Sorry to be a dissenting voice, but this site just isn't working for me. I am getting so many notifications that I'm just bulk deleting them unread (just zapped another 132) and haven't got a clue what's going on anymore. It's taking me upwards of 40 seconds to load a page then the same again If I want to post a reply (even on a 5600Kbps ADSL link). The upgrade itself seems to have been performed smoothly by the BC tech guys, but the product itself leaves a bit to be desired... I'm going to jump ship for a little while and pop back in a week or two and see if things work any better. [/quote] Speed is now up to the speed of the previous site, but we were doing some work on the attachment system and as a result there was a bit of slow time as it was being fixed. RE notifications. I tend to keep track of my threads using the new and improved 'new content' area, where I can select 'threads I started' or 'Threads I participated in' and go to first unread post as normal. Notifications I have for email and if I'm quoted, and sometimes I'll turn them on if I post something which isn;t likely to have 19 pages of replies, like a random thread asking for help notating a track. Once you tailor it to your needs it's really useful. Can I suggest turning them off altogether and looking at 'new content' area instead for now, as that's a good place to start. Cheers

I think it'll look lovely, but I'm looking at T shirts etc soon. Got lots of other things to do before I get there but it WILL happen! I think the supplier can do 'skinny fit' T shirts too. ped

It was mightily impressive. Saw a well funny Chewbacca teddy in ASDA the other day.

I'll find out, sorry for the inconvenience. Email me if you like and I'll pass on your message in the meantime. Cheers

It's been reported... patience!

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1316522095' post='1379078'] Well, i guess i may be the only one, but this site is now so slow loading pages, that its become a complete frustration. The previous site pages loaded in a flash, and there was nowt wrong with it from my own POV. [/quote] As I have said a few times now, it's because the back end needed updating because the old software was unsupported for spam detection etc. It may well have been fine from a user's perspective. WIth the massive traffic we have had, the site is taking a while to catch up and get up to speed.

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1316514114' post='1378928'] Like the look of things so far, especially the mobile version. Only problem I'm having is that sometimes I can use the mobile site and sometimes it's the full site (iPhone 4). Any ideas why? [/quote] It's probably being worked on at the moment so it'll be a bit 'up and down' until it's announced as finished, which I'll do on the news feed. Cheers

[quote name='mcgraham' timestamp='1316512772' post='1378907'] I've also got another friend coming along for the ride. They're not a BC forum user so not sure what you want to do about adding to the list. [/quote] STRANGER DANGER!

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1316507904' post='1378829'] Warm and Fuzzy sounds good....do we get indvidually numbered 'special editions' as we are the first? [/quote] If you've got a pen you can numer it yeah

Sorry, I don't think it'll happen any time soon, it's a lot of work and we can't afford it at the moment - the jar is empty!

Make sure you have the Basschat theme selected (option at bottom) and try Ctrl+F5 ped

Met the merchendise man yesterday, we're on target for Thirsday's first batch to go out and then have 48hr dispatch after that. Good times. People who buy will have an extra warm fuzzy feeling because they have helped pay for the costs of the new upgrade and support! ped

It'll be back (as an option) soon.

Check the filter settings on the left - maybe you're only seeing one page because there's only one page of things. Try clicking 'view unread' and you shoudl see more than one page?

Youtube vids should be OK? Can't test as I'm at work but if you put the code at the end of the link (after the =) between [youtube]...[ /youtube] tags without the spaces they will work.

So's ur mum

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1316501788' post='1378750'] Try clearing your cookies and temporary internet files, if that doesn't work you may need to clear your stored passwords. It's probably caused by Firefox being confused with the new layout. [/quote] Actually it does this to me too, but I only just noticed as I stay logged in. ped

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1316470722' post='1378619'] Wow.... really? That's a heck of an omission by the developers..! (forum software, not BC.) Frustrating.... [/quote] Aye, hence my hope there will be a fix. I'm glad the 'new content' section is so well designed though.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316468532' post='1378576'] May I suggest you start an appeal thread specifically for a server upgrade, where members can check in and donate? I'm game to bung a couple of quid in the kitty to start the ball rolling and I'm a tight arse Aberdonian... just think what regular people would do. [/quote] Actually we should be OK for a little while now, so no need to loosen your sphincter just yet

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1316469922' post='1378603'] Cheers, Ped - everyone's efforts are appreciated. The biggie for me (and I suspect a few others) is the multiple notifications issue. is that still on the 'to-do' list? [/quote] It is, but unfortunately it's not something we can change. Maybe there will be an update released by Invasion at some point. For now, I just use the 'new content' filters and I can easily track my threads there. on less busy threads the notifications are great, but on threads like this they get a bit much, so just use them wisely, I guess.

[/quote] OK I'm going to set a donation target on the home page. Setup and server will be about £500 all told to last about 2 months, so I'll see how it goes. Good idea I don;t like to beg but it would be nice to have lot sof space for us to stretch our legs. ped

A few updates: Speed - now really fast (or should be) Spiderman - should be dancing again soon (happyjack's avatar) Mobile interface - full site now working on mobiles, specific mobile skin app being worked on as an option at the moment. Calender should be on the way - on it Smaller issues raised by others RE browser issues/niggles - all being sorted bit by bit Thanks again for the patience and keep the faith, we're getting there!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1316368138' post='1377021'] And I've got no emoticons. My world is falling apart. [/quote] Jack - getting Spidey moving is priority #1 - re-upload it and he should have the spring in his step back..... *Everybody waits with baited breath*

Yeah, being looked at - cheers
