Upgrade to vB4.0.1

**Mikkel** · 19th January 2010, 20:09

Yep, just checked in here to make sure it wasn't just me that "go to first unread post" doesn't work for. Here's to hoping it gets fixed soon

It works, it just has a very short memory indeed.

Appears to be much faster loading each page. I got quite sick of waiting previously. Keep up the great work spank me.

I have found that after the upgrade I do not come here that often anymore. And can't be bothered searching through threads. I was wondering why, and I have come to the conclusion that it must be the new layout that does not have the same pull. I can not fault it, but there is no attraction to me. A little like when you meet this nice girl, she has all that you are looking for, but there just aint any spark.

But all well, getting stuff done instead of spending hours on here reading.

How about because it's fine on every other site already...

I was wondering if it's at all possible to change the shading for the sticky threads in each forum? I am really liking this Dark Zone but it does make for difficulty when selecting text (swiping over to alter etc.) and seeing "highlighted" sections.

Btw, for a non-computer person, I haven't found it too hard to find my way around. Generally I'm a "keep things how they are 'cos that's what I know" kinda person, but this new setup is pretty much the cat's pyjamas now!

yes, this typing text is pretty small isn't it?

exactly the same thing here mate - not even 15 minutes ago I was discussing that with the missus, and I too reckon it's the layout but really compounded with the bugs. Now it took me a while to fully appreciate all the features of the old KB, and I like the new look only slightly less, but now I'm starting from scratch again with the added frustration of not finding familiar tools and getting caught by bugs - and to be honest I'm not feeling inclined to try for some reason...

probably doesn't help that twice now I've found all the buttons on the page go unresponsive while trying to edit a post....

bollocks; if it ain't too badly broke and you've fixed most the issues why replace it with something untested? While there are of course merits in upgrading, if I've learnt anything with software it's that new releases should be let to "settle" for a few months before adoption; It's common sense really, and I hate to see KB take a dive in traffic right at it's peak.

Nah, that's the job of ACC and the people who make the roads.

Hey Spank, we seem to have lost the new posts identifier in Social Groups. Are there any plans to put it back?

**riffer** · 23rd January 2010, 07:34

Not really wanting to continue the winge-fest, but could we please have the auto-complete of members names when you are composing private messages put back?

Cheers guys; loving the new look (gone to the dark side after nearly seven years in the light universe).
