Forum Upgrade -- POST ANY ISSUES HERE

[Frankie Lamb]

Walking and chewing gum is very challenging!
I know I'm going to be embarrassed when I learn what I'm doing wrong, but here goes......
Why can't I stay logged in ? In the old setup, when I'd enter the FL site I was always logged in because when I initially logged in I checked the "Remember Me" box.
Now I have to re-enter my user name, password etc even though I've checked that box.
Other than that, the new and improved site is just that; new and improved. Great job, thanks.
Best Regards,
Dale aka Frankie Lamb

I'd check your cookie settings. Did maybe an option get toggled affecting whether your computer saves cookies from sites you visit? There should probably be three options in your control panel under internet settings - never save them, save them from sites you go to, and always save them. The second is the way to be, I think. If it's not your computer's cookie settings, I don't know what else it could be. Cookies are the way websites know to keep you logged in. If you're not staying logged in, either TFL isn't passing the instructions when you click the box, or your computer isn't saving them.

Paddy?

I just noticed. Our wonderful handsome PADDY is a Guest and all info N/A?!?!?

Also, the list of bartenders for the individual forums aren't there now, is this intentional, or still being worked on?

As someone as already said, I would like a go to first/last option if possible on the list of the pages of searches.

Thank you for all the hard work, I like the new layout, and despite my aging eyesight, the color theme is easy on my eyes.
Hope you are not losing any more sleep.

With my test account, I can see nothing on its Facebook page regarding the Lounge, and it's fully connected. On the Lounge side, "Loungers" can't see the facebook information at all. Nothing is posted from Facebook onto Lounge profile or posts.

Now remember, if a user is logged into Facebook and hits one of the "Like" buttons on the Lounge (or on any website for that matter-- cnn.com, wired.com, etc.), then the fact that they "Liked" this page will then show up on said user's Facebook account, depending on said user's privacy settings within Facebook. This is independent of the "Connection". If a user accidentally hits a Like button, they can easily hit the "unlike" button to delete it. This goes not only for the Lounge, but any page where you can "Like" or "Tweet" or "Share" things, which is extremely common on modern websites.

Again; thank you Nathan.

We're going to get Paddy's account sorted very soon. He's not going anywhere!

The list of bartenders for individual forums can be found by clicking "View Forum Leaders" on bottom of the main index page.

I'll see what I can do with the searches.

Just wondered why I'm no longer receiving email notifications of new threads I've posted in? This has only started today.

Check your individual privacy settings to make sure it didn't get switched by accident.

Thanks
It was btinternet suddenly deciding the FL was spam. Sorted now.

New issue perhaps. I noticed that when I was looking at a thread last night people had directed loungers to other threads that had more informationon the subject being discussed. But the threads were totally unrelated when I clicked on them. I am not sure that one of them didn't make a mistake with their link but two? Has this been an issue in other threads? I also asked for confirmation that what I was seeing was unrelated and I did get it here is a link to the thread in question hopefully it will direct you to the long hair thread that I am putting in.http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?50808-Long-Vintage-Hair/page13

Thanks to the MODS for all their time and efforts working behind the scenes that most of us will never see. It's appreciated!! thankyou. Fraser.

New issue perhaps...

See several posts in this thread. All internal links were broken in the upgrade. The Bartenders are addressing them individually when found but it is extremely tedious. We're very sorry for the confusion this causes.

Suggestion: is it possible to rearrange the top-right "mini control panel" to reshuffle itself into two bars on narrower screens? 1024x768 or better it works just fine, but if I'm on a library terminal locked at 800x600 the individual links start to look like a car caught in a collision between two semis.

Also, I've noticed something in the sidebar about "PM Tracking"--is that a feature under consideration or testing, or is there some way to hide the link?

I just noticed an oddity. When I logged on, on the right hand side of the screen there's a listing of "new" posts. The second one down "Help me date this sweater" shows Lauren as the most recent poster, with a posting date of something like April 2009. Lauren did post to the thread earlier todate, but she's not the most recent poster and the date's clearly wrong. Not a biggie probably, just something I kind of furrowed my brow over.

Was I demoted to guest status?

Just a quick post to say I'm loving the 'Mobile Edition' so far - keep up the great work.
(I'm not using a mobile device, but the screen is simple enough to look work related from a distance !!!)

Dean THANK YOU for bringing this to our attention. This is the second instance of this, PADDY being #1. Either Nathan or I will be in touch via email.

 

[John in Covina]

I don't want to have to read the whole thread - so if this was said before just delete it.
I'd like to suggest that you send a massive email out to all of the members letting them know there was a big update and that while you are back on line they need to return here and post to re-establish their updates on their favorite threads so to get any emails updates as to what is going on. You might also get useful data back from that too.

Do I recall a FL logo favicon?

 

[Tango Yankee]

What has happened to the Fedora Lounge Store? Did it get lost in the transition or did it fade away previously and I hadn't noticed? I've checked all the links, including the quick links dropdown.

One of my granddaughters spilled milk on the coffee table and ruined my copy of Classic Style #1. I was hoping the Store would still have back issues and intended to purchase a set of pint glasses while I was there.

On another note, as I was clicking around I looked at the Calendar for the first time and saw that it is populated with member birthdays. I checked November 11th to see who shares my birthday and saw that mine isn't listed. Checked my profile and confirmed that my birthdate is in the profile and privacy settings allow it to be seen. Or does the calendar not display your own birthdate under the assumption you probably already know what it is? [huh]

Cheers,
Tom

I do like that inside my "friends" tab it says- your friends list is empty. Rather than when I started my Facebook page and inside my friends list it said-
You Have No Friends

<Oh, and this guy is supposed to be embarrassment, he looks just happy and a bit chilly.
