SevenString Software Upgrade

[Alex]

Hey everyone! Just heads up that the SevenString forum software will be upgraded with new features and other enhancements this Friday at 8 PM EST. During the upgrade, the forum may experience some downtime (we estimate around 45 minutes).

We will keep you posted in this thread on any changes or issues with the upcoming upgrade.

Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Stiman]

Can we see the change log by chance?

I'd been wondering who runs this place. Alex, do you have an alt or are you just not into bickering about gear on the internet?

You may get his attention by starting a thread on scotch. If memory serves, he’s a Glenlivet man.

This is so much worse

How are you not checking how a forum would look on mobile devices in this day and age before committing to a software "upgrade"?

PC appearance is nearly irrelevant by now. Optimize for android.

I mean, "worse" and "different" arent always the same thing.

This is different. And I am not sure how I feel about having avatars above posts instead of beside them. But give it more than 10 minutes before you decide it's terrible.

Looks same-ish enough, I dunno how anyone can have strong feelings on it.

Slight quirk possibly found:

Page numbers for posts on forums pages only show up in landscape mode on multiple mobile IOS browsers for me. They don't show on portrait.

Not a fan of the new set up so far.

It's ok. Just another change to get used to. My main gripe is that I used the "Watched threads" page as my home page to keep track of all the conversations I'm involved in. Previously, once something was read, it disappeared from the menu. Now the thread title is merely unbolded.

Maybe I just need to navigate a little bit more to find the correct setting to remove my read threads from the list.

 

[StevenC]

Can anyone help me, I'm struggling to get the new site to djent?

 

[CanserDYI]

Why the fuck is my page covered in ads now. This sucks.

iPad layout seems kinda broken. The useless Latest posts takes a lot of space and shrinks the thread titles to unusably small on my iPad Pro.
