What the crap

[The Mad Hatter]

Two observations:
1. Page load times have been long for me in many cases. I don't know if this can be improved, but everything just feels laggy at the moment.
2. While in general, the blue arrow button seems to work, I've seen at least 1 case (the Shaq thread on the men's basketball forum), where it wasn't tracking that there were new posts. It had the thread in the appropriate chronological ordering based on how recently someone had posted, but the side display that shows who posted most recently was out of date and it had no blue arrow button to go to new posts. Yet when you clicked on the thread, there were a bunch of new posts.

It doesn't appear the search function is working properly. I can type in a recruits name and the thread won't show up in the search results.

I know search is super important to you for the recruiting forum, so I have begun the rebuild process. It takes a looooong time to run, so I hope it fixes the problem. If not I will keep diving in tomorrow until it's fixed.

I'm having issue of only part of my post showing up over in media love thread. Another person having same issue. I edited it 3 times with the same result.

Perhaps I have been limited to only a few characters because my posts are not very good.

Hahaha

Odd. Can you break it into multiple parts and see if the problem is specific to a portion of the post, as opposed to the length of the post? Maybe if you can chop it into 3 pieces I can try posting it all as one big post and replicate the problem?

I have been getting the same "warning" for every link here so far. Is that something particular to then upgrade or is my firefox going haywire again?

So our SSL certificate is for https://shockernet.net You are probably hitting https://www.shockernet.net Change to the URL without the www and that will go away. Tomorrow I will work through fixing that so that you don't have to do anything (added that to my list above about 30 minutes ago).

Just for grins and giggles I went to MVCFans from Helpful LInks page. First thing my browser prompted me with was a security warning, stating that the site was "Not Secure". Do they need a security blanket?

I really miss the links to other sites, I used them a lot.

Good catch! I will readd that tab. In the meantime here is the link to the information:

Kung Wu I have a couple of requests/ suggestions.

1. The page navigation buttons at the bottom of each thread are much more functional and better looking than the ones at the top. If possible it would be nice to make the thread nav tool at the top look and function more like the bottom.

2. I would suggest increasing the number of threads displayed per page inside each forum. It looks like this is currently set at only 10 threads per page although stickies don't seem to count against the total. I know once basketball season gets going we could easily have more than 10 active threads at a time and I hope to avoid having to go to page 2 or 3 on a regular basis to view recent activity.

These are both low priority IMO so don't lose any sleep over them.

P.S. You've been awesome during this whole upgrade process. :eagerness: Thanks for your efforts to keep Shockernet great.:poster_shocks:

Okay, I bet the database index for the search engine has to be rebuilt due to the conversion. That's a nasty intensive job so I will try to hit it at 0'dark hundred when I can.

Sorry if this has already been posted elsewhere, but is there a way to automatically go to the last post you haven't read yet when opening a thread? That was my go-to and the site is much slower to navigate without that.

It's not perfect, but when you go to:

Forums --> [click forum of your choice] --> Click little blue button by the Topic with unread posts and it will jump to the last post in the Topic.

That will save you a ton of time and is similar to that functionality.

Also 2nd the comment on user info (as opposed to the posts themselves) taking up too much real estate in the mobile version - Chrome on iPhone for me.

Are you referring to the Thanks and Like stats?
