As should be obvious by now, I've upgraded the main forums to the latest beta of Threads 7. It's getting pretty stable, and I was getting pretty antsy to upgrade.

Nearly everything imported flawlessly. The only two exceptions that I've found so far, are if you uploaded your avatar to my server, you'll need to re-upload it, as for some reason it lost these. If you were using external avatars, this shouldn't be an issue. And also, for some reason, if your signature was on more than one line, it seems to have stripped out all the newline characters. So you'll need to go in and fix that as well.

But other than that, I can't find anything else that didn't go correctly. Not specifically related to the import, but more of a general issue with the new program... is if in any post you linked to another post, those links may no longer be accurate. I *THINK* the program is supposed to automatically catch old links and refresh you accordingly, but I'm not absolutely sure about that. If they don't work, I'm sure it won't be long before someone figures out a mod_rewrite script to update them as needed anyway.

Anyhoo... enjoy. Lots of really cool new features here. Check out the posting page for all the fun dropdown menus and options and AJAXy goodness.

I dont like it at the top how it says myspace. It reminds of that thing I really really hate on the interweb.

Also it didnt record all the newly posted in posts since my last visit.

Also your bitch and moan bar seems to be one line too long.
Edit-
Also, it isnt updating the users online bar on the left. Also, unless youve given me the power to do so, I shouldnt have the option to delete your shout box posts.

The 'My Space' thing is possibly going to change before the final version... and if it doesn't, I'll probably change it myself. Because you're right... that there web place on the intarweb is too... eeew...

Also, the new version does not currently have full post tracking (the number of new posts in each forum/topic). Rick said it's on the whiteboard for later but he's got other things to concentrate right now.

What do you mean by "one line too long"?

And the Who's Online thing... yeah that's probably not right. I dunno what's going on. Prolly a caching issue. From what I've seen, Threads' new caching isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box. I dunno. Maybe it'll get better in the newer betas.

Ok, new post/thread tracking aside, can you make the little icon that shows when there are new posts in a forum MUCH more different than the others. A tiny touch of lightness to your green doesnt stand out. I have to strain to see which forums have new posts in them. And once I enter into forum, I have no idea which one has new stuff in it.

For some reason on my shoutbox the first message is at the top and you need to scroll up to see it

Yeah, I'm gonna work on the post images. They looked a lot more... "different" when I was doing them in Photoshop.

And once you're in a forum...

No new replies
New replies

The shoutbox, yeah, it's mostly just cuz it's currently mostly blank. Once it fills up, the new stuff will always be at the bottom anyway so there won't be as much of a need to scroll up.

7.0 Final is set to be released tomorrow, so I'll be skipping Beta 5 and RC1 completely, and upgrading to Final shortly. Probably not this weekend, but next weekend most likely, if not sometime during next week.

Just FYI. Since I'm skipping versions, it may be a little bit tricky, so don't get grumpy if there's a bit of downtime.

Scratch that. It's updated now. Got a few extra minutes and it didn't take nearly so long as I waas expecting it to.

Hopefully this will clear up the issues y'all have been reporting.

The cache refresh is on a 10 minute timer, I believe. It is actually updating properly, just not necessarily on every pageload. Sometimes you see you, sometimes you don't.

Cookies only, afaik.

The problem isn't necessarily with Threads itself, it's that all of the sidebar stuff is technically being used externally - as far as Threads is concerned, because of my layout, the sidebar boxes are treated as though they're being used on some other section of the site. So it's got stricter caching rules to save on server resources, than if I were to use the "internal" versions of the boxes.

7.1 is coming out soon, and it may have some improvements to the cache system. I know it's finally bringing back full post tracking (# new per forum since your last visit), so Rick may have gotten some other cache improvements in there as well.
