Yeap, please have back the "my topics" function.
The "monitor topic" function isn't really friendly. It shows all the posts in the topic instead of the threads, it also doesn't tell if there are new posts in the thread. :?
Another issue is receiving PM
the new format no prompt unless you take note of the -(1)

Still haven't sleep yet ah, Anty?
Anyway, let me list some issues I have seen today.
1. Not Opera-friendly. Very unfriendly in fact. Any menu that has onmouseup/onmouseout pairs of events are not functioning properly in Opera. For example, I can't choose the smilies because the menu only appears for a fraction of a second after the menu button is clicked. And to quote posts, I need to be uber-fast to click on Quote/Reply before the menu disappears.
2. The starting post count for new topics is 0, but when a reply comes in, it becomes 2 and continues from there. Change the default value for that.
3. Many of us, including myself, enjoys typing Chinese here. =D
But I can understand that some non-Chinese members may get pretty annoyed soon if we continue like to be like this. (I know because I played GE and the pinoys there were spamming their Tagalog chats all over the place like some Fu Kings.) Maybe someone should set up a forum for all the Chinese fanatics?4. There is no siggy. =(
5. The XX post(s) since whenever text is inconsistent as in it appears for some members (beside their post) without requiring a mouse hover while some don't. It will be better to instead display it and other profile-related info without having to hover over them (like how it is in the past).
6. I see that the URLs have been made search engine-friendly, but the page number for a topic is still in the form of a GET query (http://sgforums.com/forums/1/topics/305531?page=3 instead of http://sgforums.com/forums/1/topics/305531/3).
7. Inconsistencies in URLs. I just noticed there's an extra "/forums" in the URL in #6. And sometimes there's an extra "www." at the back that I don't realize which link it came from after surfing around a few topics here. I guess this require fixing?
8. Since we're upgrading, mind if we have an option to activate e-mail notification for new posts in monitored topics like most forums do now? I understand that this may increase server load quite significantly considering the number of members we have here but, to me, it's kinda a pain to check back topics I have posted in for new replies every now and then.
9. Like what Nikar has said, I suppose the forum backend here is either a custom-coded solution created from scratch or a further modified version of the previous forum backend. (And according to Wikipedia iirc, the old sgF is a customized version of phpBB) Just curious here, but why can't we just use a already-developed solution like phpBB, IPB, vB and customize from there?
10. Hide the Premium Membership link for those who are already in, please.
11. Will the Create Chat Room function be implemented real soon? I'm looking forward to that, somehow.
http://sgforums.com/chat_rooms12. The search function is powerful in the way that it search every post, but, firstly, I suppose a CAPTCHA test (those "key in the characters in the image above" thing) or a time limit (this one is kinda irritating at times, though) will be necessary, otherwise a kiddie can simply DoS the forum by spamming search requests.
13. Also about the search function, because now it searchs every post, I've been getting entire pages of results coming from the same thread (I searched "poly" this afternoon.) I think there should be an option to filter off results from the same topic if possible, or at least group them by topic. And sometimes the results don't appear in chronological order as well.
14. Where's my fav Featured Topics page???
15. A few users have complained about the lack of "Appear Offline" issue. I'm not particular about this since members are clone-able. XD
16. Erm. We don't have quotas or limits for PM Inbox and Sent folders, right? =D
And it's good that there is a Sent folder now. I used to worry whether a PM has been sent successfully.17. The new emoticons are not very expressive and imo ugly. Maybe we should have a vote for another new set of emoticions to replace them?
18. Editing a post don't +1 now. Ok this is the right way, but...sigh.
That's about it, I hope. Time for me to work on my project for a while before heading to bed now.
This aint a democracy.. so we either suck it in.. or we demand.
I DEMAND to know.. whats a Mantra.. hahaha.. ? I mean seriously.. whats that ? U know i dun mind paying more , and having sgforums management staff's appreciation, maybe.. hell i dunno. Maybe u guys can come up with something more.. how do u say interesting then just .. Mantra.. or extra big @ss Avatars. lol!
Anyways interesting new layout.. just a bit laggy.. fee l l i .. n g t he la a a a a g g...
I see my avatar and the 'action' cog below it on some posts but not on others, until I mouse over it.
Please use different colors to denote an active thread and a locked thread.... this is my first post after the revamp, suddenly realise that this text window takes too long to show what i am typing. As it stands i am typing blind. Good thing I have good typing skills.
One more thing.... I cannot seem to be able to reply to a PM.
The new set of codes seem buggy.
1. WYSIWYG editor is not showing up correctly. Clicking on Visual button to switch to text editor crash Firefox. A restarted Firefox will not have this problem when you reply for the first time, but subsequently, the problem repeats.
2. Ordered lists and font colours. Seems like some script is removing those tags.
Blue colour font!
Here's how it looks like after posting.
3. Underline. Previous test worked fine, no idea why it's broken now.
My invalid display name means I will encounter errors everything I try to edit my profile.
Can put date and time of each post or not?
rather than '14 minutes ago', '9 hours ago'?
oh yes.. trying to write above the quoted text of someone else results in lots of lines across the page..
What are the new sizes for avatars for both premier and non-premier members?
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but the frames overlap sometimes, and in typing a new post, the blinking text cursor appears at the bottom of the page instead of in the text box, until you click inside the text box, then start typing, AND THEN the text cursor appears inside the text box.
not a big issue but i think noticed something...
when a new topic is started there are "0" replies.
when someone replies, it jumps to 2.
i will love if the forum can have bbcodes back.alot of us r begining to miss it...
how bout doing those embem of youtube video or other video in forum?
