Forum upgrade - any issues

[Vicci]

Not sure if asked already, but what no longer compiled? Just curious. No complaint.

It's all around consent and data privacy laws - if you're in an affected region you'll probably have noticed several pop-ups asking for consent around data storage, cookies, advertising etc.

I tried to update my profile and popped up:

• You have chosen not to accept the user privacy and data policies, so registration cannot continue.
  
  Check the box if you want to agree with the user privacy and data policies.

but there were no boxes to check off

That must be a bug 🙁
It says you're not in a region that requires consent, so it doesn't give you the option to agree - but I guess the validation on that page is requiring agreement 🤦🏻♀️

Let me see what levers and switches I can flick. A new software version was released last week so I'll update to that when I get a moment, which may help.

Edit: I've temporarily changed it to require consent from all users next time you login, so hopefully that'll get around it.

Ok got around it this time. Thanks. And to quote the other post, yes I do get an advertising request pop up every time or 2 I click a new page.

Hey! I've been gone a while but the new interface looks great! Hope all else is well.

I´m sad... I mean really. I did grow up with early 2000s Internet and was a very active forum user. I know how forums once were. "Slick" "Slim" made for the useres, not for ... "reasons".

When I saw that this website, which I love to visit occasionly and read what other fetish people have to say, also gave up it´s soul by changing the good old enjoybale forum to this new ... "thing", it sadened me, and I also assumed this would cause fewer people to come here, because of how un convenient the new forum is.

I appreciate it, that Vikky did keep up the old forum for so long, and I do absolutely understand that her "motivation" to change it is the constant ongoing "blackmailing" (they sue you really bad if you don´t obey) to make it compliant with lobby-people made laws.

However, after thinking back and forward I wanted to post a reply to "How did your´s begin". I know that most of today´s forums have a secret "sign cap" of around 10k signs (Questioning what is the point of a sign cap in a Forum that´s for Discussion), but when sending my message, it simply wasn´t possible because of "Error", and "Errr - another". One error pretended "Can´t reach the server" and another one said ... whatever *insert reason here for making up an error*.

Just sad how forums have become. I recall the good old days (2003-2005), where forums were blasting with activity, people being friendly to each other, barely any trolls (This forum is actually very friendly and open and a positive example how people should interact with each other, I´m more talking generous) with the good old "slim" (on server side) and fast ... well accessible forums.

Not sure if I´ll stick around here longer as a poster, with this (forced) "improoved" version of a Forum.

Let´s see ... *clicks send, but might be allowed bc this is well below 10k signs*.

I have got used to using Forums, New Topics, and the symbol for the latest posts to get to the posts that have been made since my last looking in at the site. Yes, it worked.

Recently, I have been getting ' Search Result Your criteria is not restrictive enough and might return too many results. Please restrict your criteria and try again.' and can't get any further. Have I done something wrong?

Is that when you're searching for something specific or when using the new topics search?

[Exaturbo]

Today I’ve noticed a “your search is not restrictive enough and will return too many results “ error when simple clicking on the new topics link.

ive been away a few days only. Really not a fan of this new setup.
I understand why it changed, but the lack of the old ability to show new content in threads isn’t good.
takes ages to scroll through stuff now to find posts I’m interested in.

the new topics button doesn’t behave the way it should s it’s always showing the same old stuff, then you have to go to the last page manually.

before at least you could click to go straight to the last page of a thread.

When I am using the new topics search. It used to workuntil a few days ago (perhaps a week).

That is around the time the latest update was applied, I'll put in a bug report for it 🙁

This should be fixed now

[Scaredyburst]

Yes indeed. Thank you.

Bravo pour la nouvelle formule qui permet de traduire directement le texte dans sa langue
Vraiment merci!

[Dust of the Saturn]

Every time I post, the message is "unapproved" and is red colored. That wasn't the case before. Is this an intentional change from your part, or is my account marked as spam?

Edit, seems like sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

[Vicci]

Still trying to work that one out - nothing should go for moderation, but odd things are for some reason, we're approving them as quickly as we can.
