For Admin,
It's not a big problem, when I read my private messages, it doesn't clear the alert. I mean it still shows I have a new private message. Just a bug?

sloopjohnb, is it the number of notifications or number of private messages? Those are not the same. Please have a look at an earlier post about this: viewtopic.php?p=2123339#p2123339


Thanks to all, I'm glad you like the new option.
By the way, the extensability of this new software version alows us to add such things without breaking future updates.

Well done Tsall, I know this was an issue for many here

Some might want to go into the UCP to check two new settings.

Bravo! And many thanks from me too! I know I am not the only one who believes having the user info and avatar on the left makes it so much easier to read posts naturally ... from left to right.

Now that we can choose which side the avatars are on, bold font, a better divide between posts and a purple background I’m loving the changes! Well done TDF and team!

Awesome. The only thing that was bugging me after the upgrade was the profile had moved to the right, and I couldn't read without zooming in on my browser. Now profile back to the left side (the correct side of the road ) and font to 120%, and everything is perfect. (and Windows_key + dot_key smilies too! )

Would you be able to do anything about adding back the subform column in "Managed Subscriptions/Booksmarks" pages? It's really disorientating now without knowing what subforum the topics belong to. The subforum column gave useful context about the topic title (like what manufacturer subform a topic was from).

Thanks for pointing out that option, I'm ok with this now too.

[Tsall]

Thanks again for the feedback.

I try to summarize what was mentioned in the past.

Sorry for the long post.

Implemented

• Option to set the location of the user profile in posts => UCP
• Option to set the base font size => UCP
• Show attachment file names and views.
  That is fixed since a few minutes.
• Chatting users in forum and topic view
  Implemented since a few minutes.

Can't replicate

• font type and size
  Some mentioned a change in font type and size. The old forum still exists and I had a look. On desktop I can't find a differnece in font type and size on the main post area. Some headers are different, but not the main post text. It's the exact same fornt type and size. The blueish background is the same too.
  
  Can someone please tell me where font type or size changed? Was it on desktop or mobile? What device? If a mobile device, with enabled desktop mode or not? If you don't know what desktop mode is you didn't activate it.

Open bugs

• Inline images disrupt some bbcodes like size, color and a few more.
  The old behaviour will not come back. The phpBB developers made big changes to generate more strict HTML code.
  But we will try to find a way to fix old posts.
• Images are too high when in portrait mode
  That's the thing where I start to hate CSS as I still haven't found a way to limit the image height and have it responsive to scale down on small screens. If someone knows how to get that done please contact me.

Open requests

The amount of information displayed in mobile view is reduced on purpose. So please understand that not everything will be added. But we will look at some of your request. Nothing prommised and please give us some time.

• Display the visitor count of topics on small screens
  We understand that view counts are importanbt to some. So we will have a look. Maybe it fits after the number of replies.
• Send a pm to a member from the post including a quote of the post (on small screens)
• Show topic creator in topic list on small screens
• Show forum name for topics in bookmarks and subscription list
• Add buttons/links for Recent posts / Own posts / Unread posts / etc. directly available without Quick links menu.
  Work in progress.

Tsall, you're doing a kickass job, thank you
I can't speak for everyone, but me and my girls are 100% satisfied now, you've fixed everything we didn't like, and even implemented some stuff we didn't realize how much we'd like I didn't like it as much at first, but I feel just as happy (or perhaps more) with current TDF as with the old one. Sometimes it's good to experience something new and fresh, no matter how much nostalgia you have
