Welcome to the new Boards.ie platform - Version 1.0 :)

Very nice, was trying a few times to get rid of the fbook and twttr icons - now gone 😀

Nice quote box too but expand arrow still not working

Thanks!

I've just figured out how to set preferences on my phone. 🙄😏

You have to scroll across to get the tick boxes for each option, I couldn't figure that out because it should all be visible on your screen.

Expand button working fine for me

Obviously it has been a mess. It's still a mess. Will continue to be a mess. I'm not denying that. Even trying to find my way back here to the thread was a chore, it's actually comical how non-functional the navigation is.

But, if everything about the whole saga seems two-bit that's because it is. The whole process has held up an unflattering light to how small time boards really is.

It's a small part of another company, with a tiny handful of no doubt shat upon staff, whose business model persists because it cornered the market in what it offers about fifteen years ago and just enough of a proportion of the aging user base are baked in - having been here for years - and so will still use it in enough numbers to make enough commercial sense for now, even if the user experience isn't up to snuff - because most of them use it for nothing and unpaid volunteers do most of the work to keep the place ticking over anyway. Is it any wonder it was a bit of botch job? I'm not trying to be harsh here, just honest.

I think our time spent here makes us lose sight of what this place really amounts too. Maybe a bit of egoism on our parts. At one time I would have said boards was a community alongside being a message board on the Internet - when things like boards meet ups and the likes used to happen, but that's been gone for years now, well before this. We all spend a lot of time here, but when the place shuts - as it did for the week - it's slightly sad how obvious it is that it doesn't really matter.

I told loads of lads about your posts and they read the **** out of them

Additional JS routine to auto show thanks on a post - needs some styling - it only ever returns 10 thanks

Maybe I should start my own thread...but probably no one would ever find it...

$(".ReactButton-Like .Count").each(function(index) {

postid=$(this).closest("li").attr("id")

post_id=postid.split("_")

post_id=post_id[1]

$("<div id='thanks_"+post_id+"' style='margin-left: 246px !important;background:#fff;padding:10px;color:#c12525'>Thanks by: </div>" ).insertAfter($(this).closest(".postbit-wrapper"));

$.ajax({ url: "https://boards.ie/reactions/users/Comment/"+post_id+"/like?DeliveryType=VIEW",

   method: "GET",

   custom: post_id })

.done( function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {

var postID = this.custom; 

$(data).find('li a').each(function(index) {

if($(this).attr("title")!=undefined){

$('#thanks_'+ postID).append($(this).attr("title")+", ");

}})

});});

Once again, can you PLEASE separate this into two threads!!!

I'm trying my best but it's impossible to keep up when a lot of the posts don't relate to mobile. I'm sure a lot of the people who only use computers feel the same way when various suggestions about how to fix the mess have no relevance to them.

It's especially difficult as it's impossible to keep reading for more than fifteen minutes without my eyes watering.

On another note, @Boards.ie: David was not meant to be included in this post at all but his name appeared in my post when I was typing @Boards.ie: Niamh and it won't let me delete it.

The same has just happened with the @ member at the end of this post WTF?

@boardise

the absolute state of that update

zero engagement, zero acknowledgement of actual issues, nothing

absolutely shameful way to treat a userbase doing it's best to let you know what's going on for them, no wonder you are haemorrhaging users to ****

Dunno, it was down alright I'd say but I think there's been a bit of an increase in activity over the last day or so? Anecdotal of course. I dont know where to see stats.

I'm getting used to it now and hopefully the uupcoming fixes will resolve many of the issues.
