Announcement Forum system known issues

[Antone]

We're excited to have finally launched the new forum system and get you back in to continue your favorite photography discussions. Thanks for being patient with us during the migration period and the uncertainty it produced as to what everything will look like at launch.

Well, it looks like a great improvement to me!

There is something wrong with the way times are displayed. I'm seeing posts that were made yesterday as happening this morning.

This is an example of a thread with time issues as it reports 10:10 AM post today yet it's 8:23 AM here

Thread 'IBIS and OIS'

Today at 2:10 AM

If I want to use the Fuji XC 50-230 II OIS lens on a tripod, am I correct in assuming if I turn off IS in camera, it will also turn off OIS on the Fuji XC 50-230 II OIS lens? It is my understanding that this lens does not have an OIS On-Off switch.

I'm being notified of threads that I haven't even participated in, commented in or ever seen before.

Same here. I’ve looked for a setting where I might set my time zone but can’t find it???

Did you check your time zone setting in your account preferences? Mine was originally set to a time zone that was several hours off from where I'm actually located. I think this needs to be set manually once and then times should display correctly.

The message notification counter changes size after reading a message.

This is the counter when I first access the site or refresh DPR in Safari:


Here it is after I click on one of the unread message indicators, view the message, and return to the top to look at other notifications.

To go back to the top of a forum, one needs a keyboard. Not useful on a tablet or a phone.

Also going to last read post in a thread does not seem to be possible, only going zp thr post!?

That's the issue. They should read the time zone from the system on login. If we travel it will be off again and then again when we return.

The UI inconsistency between the forums and the rest of the site on mobile is kind of annoying

 

[PLShutterbug]

Must we have the sentence, “There may be more posts after this” in every notification? Of course there may be! Or, there may not. Why is that factoid important? Just let us know that someone replied.

I miss the information on the right side of the display....Most Popular Cameras, Most Popular Posts, etc

That has been the situation forever. Fortunately it’s easy to solve, at least on iOS devices. Just double-tap at the top of the browser window. General behavior: that returns you to the top of the page.

Just a quick question

What exactly do you mean by "Reaction score"?

I currently have 7,848 messages and a reaction score of 9,426!

I am getting notifications for when people start new threads. They might all be from within the Nikon forums, which I do frequent, but this still doesn’t seem like a normal feature. Please see the attached screenshot showing my current notifications.

The first looks like the old site [also in the avatar, which you haven't changed, in the new site you get the default first initial.
Maybe you start from an old bookmark in your browser?

The notifications are unclear to me. There is no info where the new threads actually are. In the old forum I got a notification if there were new threads in one of the forums I'd subscribed to'.

Does not play well with page zoom (Safari and Windows). Click on News, and the drop-down menu is cut on the left.

Can you screenshot this for us please.

We had the old counter and site navigation up still. This should be removed so that only the new one shows. The counter should be ore accurate then.
