✨✨ SMF Upgrade - Feedback Thread ✨✨

The old format would shows people location below their screen names, i notice thats not here now. It was a handy feature imo

I really like that I can access different pages in a thread from the top of the page or bottom! Mainly using my android phone, I always had to scroll to bottom of page to access the next page before.
Thanks Russ, you're doing a good job!

Taking my first test drive this afternoon. I'll make a new post shortly...

 

[Gonna Smoke]

That should be back!

Yep.
How do we see all the featured threads? When i click on "Featured Content" button from the home page, only 5 pop up and I know there's more than that...

Are you using the light or dark mode? You have the ability to toggle it easily in the navigation:
View attachment 735153

System will automatically detect your preferred light/dark mode on your device (some phones as an example turn on dark mode at certain times). Or you can just force light/dark.

You can also do it in the footer:
View attachment 735154

or on the preference page: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/account/preferences

That's where I always look is at the bottom of the page.

It was displeyed , then it wasn't . Mouse over the avatar of the member and it should show up . I agree though . KNowing where someone is at is helpful for answering questions .

Its also on the bottom of the regular site as well. But regular also has it up to on the gear icon.

I do not see the carousel at the bottom of the page on the regular site (not a mobile device).

Same here ...

One thing I have noticed that's missing is the line at the end of new alerts... Separating new from old ...
Also when on white background the new alerts needs to be darker as well... Not much difference in colors... Dark mode is better...

 

[chopsaw]

I use the site mostly for talking with some " friend " memebers and answering questions I get asked .
The icons for PM's and alerts are super small for me ( maybe a setting on my end ) , and they are so dim , they are hard to see . I had to go back to light mode just to see them .

This might be a mobile vs. desktop thing. On my iphone I can't see location unless I click on the username, but on my laptop/browser I can see it next to posts in the little username/details area.

Still does(using tablet)

I added user details back. They do not show on mobile. Can't recall if they did on the previous setup either but they're not really meant to show on mobile as it's a lot of info for a small screen. You can clock their name and view it on the member tooltip though.

 

[JckDanls 07]

For me... Read and unread color/contrast of the title is hard to diffientiate between the two in dark mode... A little better in white...

 

[JckDanls 07]

Also, the red is not working for me in dark mode...

They did show up on mobile but see that they do when you click on the user name. I'll get use to it

I never got an Alert for Keith's, @912smoker post... Do we have to go into settings and reset them all ??

 

[Fueling Around]

Later to the show so some of the bugs have been adjusted.
Only logged on with desktop platform so far and uh um OK. I'll try it mobile in a day or so.
I've never understood the desire to rebrand (change) something that wasn't broken.

The only thing I don't like so far is the "Who read this article". I never noticed this prior if it was already in place as I rarely read articles.
I like my ability of +Lifetime Premier+ to stay hidden unless I choose to respond to a thread.

 

[Chris_in_SoCal]

I like it so far. Changed to dark mode on PC.

One thing on PC. I liked your original post here but when I went back it was gone.
I noticed a [Show Only: Unread+] bubble at the top of the screen.
When the bubble clicked it shows them.

After that when the page is refreshed or you later return the unread threads are gone again and the bubble returns.

Please make it so read threads show up but can be another color but not removed from view. If this is an option in your user settings I have not found it.

 

[normanaj]

So far so good for me. The icons in the upper right corner for alerts/messages seem kind of small but I do like having mode toggle up there.And dark mode is better now than it was on the previous forum.

I also just noticed that the Amazon link is now gone.Not sure if that's by design or not but I thought I would point that out anyways.

 

[chopsaw]

Yup . I mentioned it above too . Small and dim . User name , mode tab and search tab are brighter . Letter and bell are dim .
I was just trying to change it on my end . Zoom to 100 % helped the size . Not the brightness .
