Faster! You’ll hopefully notice some speed improvements.
Working mentions (e.g. “hey @sbook you should pay attention to this thread!”), including e-mail notifications
Better paging system for BuddyPress components. A bit tricky to explain, but a welcome change indeed.
Responsive theme, i.e. hub.jmonkeyengine.org should run & look better on mobile devices now
Forum tags finally working (more or less ^^)
Known issues include:
- 2x “mark all read”
- Gaah, blue links!
- Missing header image & color scheme
- Missing forum syntax help
- Missing badges
- Incomplete widget placement
Somewhat buggy menus
Partially hidden “follow this topic”
There’s quite a bit to do still, but we’ll tend to the necessary website updates more diligently now that it’s in our faces.
Please help out by reporting new issues! It’s okay to mention even the most obvious stuff; anything to make sure we don’t miss anything. Bear in mind though, we don’t have any dedicated web developer, so if you think you can directly lend a hand to speed things up, do let us know.
The new update looks cool, but i preferred the way the other forum page (where it shows all the topics) looked, it seemed more organized and easier to flick through.
Not sure if you mentioned them but:
cannot thumbs up/down anyone
Title and tags of thread topic are written over each other
Ug, forum list is impossible to read anymore. There’s WAY too much information thrown at you. Any way of fixing that? It could even just be the thread topic in full text color and size, with everything else in smaller font and grey,
Also, that’s one scary monkey in the header now, love it!
Hmm looks like editing your reply is completely broken now, the page shows up w/ a title and a blank box where the editor should be.
Wanted to also say that the BuddyPress team is still clueless about the existence of the Back button, making everything that’s ajax’d (ALL pagination, for example) impossible to navigate quickly. For example, click a couple of pages in on the main forum listing, then hit your back button, where does it take you? A ton of this system suffers from this rather serious flaw.
Fixed double “mark all read” (you activated the old plugin too)
Use a child theme so we can actually edit the theme
For the ratings I’ say we need another plugin and somebody (I guess me, eh?) has to write some code to transfer the database data from one plug to another.
And I have a developer tag now? Wait… Does that mean I have to spend all my spare time helping other people, coding for them and fixing the issues other team members produce? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH…
Yeah, on iPad/iOS the menus don’t work. You always get to the main page thats hidden under the first menu item. Before it would just unfold and on second click open the page.
@makeshift about the Opera bug, that seems like it might be an inherent problem in the default BP theme. If you try http://testbp.org/ in that emulator you should encounter the same bugs. I’ve reported it to the BP developers, thanks.
