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.
Even with the extended time our team took to review the forums top to bottom, as with any new system being put in place, quirks and isolated issues are bound to come up.
As of Nov. 6, 2025, here are the current known issues:
Top Issues
All of these issues have resolutions with the hope of completing the most urgent ones (at the top of the list) in the next few days.
We plan to continue tweaking some elements of the design over the coming weeks to improve and refine the look and feel.
We appreciate any reports you can provide on issues you may be having with the new system. Please post new issues here.
Thanks again for your patience as we tidy things up!
Even with the extended time our team took to review the forums top to bottom, as with any new system being put in place, quirks and isolated issues are bound to come up.
As of Nov. 6, 2025, here are the current known issues:
Top Issues
- Photo galleries are still being processed (some photos may not show yet)
- Some of your photos may not show yet.
- Your profile menu will show a 'Photos' and 'Albums' tabs when there are photos and albums. If you do not see it and know that you have photos and albums from past uploads, those photos and albums may still be processing.
- Navigating to your galleries at first may be a bit slow
- Embedded YouTube videos are still being processed (some videos may not show yet)
- Data for some older polls is still being processed (some poll information may not show yet)
A new feature to display EXIF on images embedded / uploaded to forum posts will launch soon
- If you are receiving notifications for activity you never followed, unfollow it if you wish and check your notification and follow settings to not default to follow.
- Timestamps are in 12-hour format. We can only set them to 12-hour OR 24-hour currently, but will try and find a way to give you all an option to choose.
- Clicking "Edit" on a post sometimes does not work (for now, open the link in a new window)
- The main DPR website menus may still show the notification flag and direct message bubble, pointing to the old structure. Please ignore this and use the forums directly.
- Direct Messages may show as unread even though they've been read before
- Some minor UI positioning needs when the forums are viewed on mobile devices
- Some large photos embedded in a forum post show up as an attachment link instead of displaying the photo
- Some style contrast concerns over how light certain text and elements are against each other
- We are working on a way to make it more clear that private photos are actually set to private
All of these issues have resolutions with the hope of completing the most urgent ones (at the top of the list) in the next few days.
We plan to continue tweaking some elements of the design over the coming weeks to improve and refine the look and feel.
