joeg414 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 About this new look to the site : I'm already missing the "tool" to just look at the last post of a topic on the main page, instead of checking on the the whole topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFS179 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The dot or star are still there... my guess is the conversion to the new system requires you to be online first to note where you've been, what you've read, etc. It'll still be there, just not for all the topics due to the system resetting.

SpecialFNK Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I hate this. I just made a new post in the feedback section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeeze Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 One thing I noticed is the quotes from posts before the change aren't attributed to the poster or even marked as quotes... will make sorting through comment chains made before today a real pain. Also noticed that it appears we can't embed youtube or any other video clips any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialFNK Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 all previous quotes are no longer quoted, which makes things difficult to follow. there was no need for a change in the first place. I hate when websites do this, making a change just for the sake of making a change. stupidity. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiveohnine Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If it ain't broke don't fix it. But this actually goes beyond that and breaks a bunch of stuff while improving NOTHING. i can't even get out of the mobile version anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, with the old site , you just had to click on the topic and it showed you the last post , without opening the whole topic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc10 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It appears the search function isn't working properly either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbane Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Give it time. There's actually a good amount to like, and I'm sure some changes are coming. Definitely need the function of taking you to the last new post in a thread you've been reading, but I like the look, posting tools, option to load new posts while in the thread without refreshing. Good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonCajun Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yeah I'm confused about the change. While I understand the appeal of RW to have a new and improved look I don't understand what was improved. -Is there a way to go to the last post you view on the mobile site? A lot of us read this forum on the go and that was huge for me to just click the link of whatever thread and have it go to the last thing I read. Now it goes to the beginning of the thread. -The quotes are no longer separated in a way that allows you to see who wrote what...They look like the original poster wrote everything 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialFNK Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 either I'm not using the search right, or the search is not working because I type in a name and don't get any results. STUPID rotoworld. I would suggest going back to the way it was before this, but I'm not expecting much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidtwentytwo Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Give it a little more time than 10 minutes guys. I imagine there's a fix for some of the bugs and things that are missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonCajun Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The search is working for any posts made after the change but nothing before it. As kidtwentytwo mentioned, I imagine they're working on the kinks and I would hope viewing this thread to see some real time feedback.

Nothing is ever perfect on launch, and it'll be tweaked a bunch moving forward, but this is pretty dang good overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke of queens Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Do they have a list of the improvements that were made? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Bros Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It's an update from Invision (the people who produce the message boards). I post on another Invision based board and they did their upgrade a week ago. It took a couple of days to iron out the kinks but it's a pretty good finished product once that happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
