Stop the DD. That will get their attention.

I have a time crunch going on. Need to sort end of year tax and accounts, get ads up here, stop forum spam registrations, stop ex hosts from nicking more money from me, and a whole host of other things.

Hi Jon. I have to say that the mobile experience now is a huge improvement .

 

[Jon]

Yeah, I totally agree with you. They did a fabulous job with the mobile responsiveness. It makes it very usable. Perhaps that will increase engagement, as people can use the site much more easily while on the go.

I do notice though that when you hit the Access World logo while using mobile that it takes people to the site homepage, rather than the forum homepage. I need to fix that.

 

[Jon]

There you go Uncle, do you feel better now?

 

[Jon]

I will look into it for you.

 

[Jon]

Wait, I'm in that list too! Woohoo!

 

[Jon]

Side note, the engagement on this new forum software is amazing! I like looking at the Latest Activity link: https://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/whats-new/latest-activity

That happens on the PC as well, which TBH is what I would expect?

 

[Jon]

Yes, it is typical site behaviour for a PC. But when I am using mobile, I just want to hit the logo and get taken to the forum index again, as that is super convenient.

I think because this site is completely forum-centric it will confuse people if I don't change that.

@Jon,
Where can you find this please.?

 

[Jon]

That was from the old board. I am enquiring if we can get something similar for this board. I have about 10 outstanding posts over at Xenforo now, asking all sorts of things!

 

[Jon]

I've told them so many times already!

Honestly, I thought you might be disappointed when I switched over, since it is easy to become so familiar with something over the years.

 

[Jon]

Eat some of this new software then. It reminds me of primary school, where we had to put our hand up after having school dinner. There was this strict teacher who used to come around and tell you off for not eating your veg. "You've hidden the brussel sprouts! They are full of zinc, Vitamin D blah blah." it used to confuse me. No, terrify me!

 

[Jon]

You were a naughty boy then!

What is different than before is that now you get email when someone you added to your ignore list posts something. That email contains the post you supposedly don't want to see. I'm 99.587% positive that was not the case before the switch.

Admittedly I only have one person on my ignore list, I but have not received any emails for anything that they have posted.?
I know they have posted in threads I have posted in as well.?

I particular like the link that will allows you to look at ignored content, should the fancy take you.

I've been deleting emails by the dozen all weekend. I'm sure it'll die down after we all get used to our new toys.

 

[Jon]

Oh the temptation to look...!

@Uncle Gizmo Maybe we need a proper code add-on. Perhaps we could test one.
