Lets kick the tires

Hey...is there a newest to oldest sort feature? Or a bump option on the main page? I'm not seeing them, but my brain hurts.

I can't seem to get an avatar up.

According to their help pages, no. But they say they've rec'd so many requests for it that it's going to be part of V5.

I love proboards and that new nest shit gives me a raging migraine. I would actually post here if it remained active.

It's not even just that the format sucks. Posts aren't loading. I can see or not see different posts depending on if I'm on my phone, work computer, or laptop. And I can't see any 90% of the responses from my phone or work. I got home and realized there were more threads with responses. Maybe they'll work out some of those kinks, but it's fucking terrible.

This is what it looks like from work for me:





What in the SHIT is that?

[ringstrue]

holla!

This looks like a CSS issue to me. Are you on an older browser?

I don't think so - IE 8? But I've tried it on firefox (newest version) and chrome and they all look like that.

Checking in! This seems much easier to use than the FB page or the new Nest format.

[mominatrix]

Also checking in.

I'm genuinely hoping, though, that the speed issues and some of the other issues (posts disappearing, anybody?) will be resolved and we can go back "home".

Honest question, though... usually a new version brings new functions... does anybody know, or have any idea, what the new functionality of the Nest boards are???

[EllieArroway]

I would really rather go back to TN, too. Just because it won't be the same without random lurkers & new opinions. But I can't even get it to load at all today on my computer, and on my iPad it loads but only shows like 4 posts since the conversion.

I still can't believe they rolled out a new version with all of these problems. I would have lost my job for a lot less.

I've been trying to figure that out....unsuccessfully.

[EllieArroway]

Well supposedly the new format has better browser compatibility and will be faster. Yeah...

Checking this out. ::waves::

The only thing I've heard is that is is supposed to give moderators more control. But at this point most of the mods seem to be having problems too so IDK.

It would be interesting if there was a way to link all the nest proboards together - since so many boards have jumped over here. And that's what we are kind of missing - the ability to switch between boards and post on topics that we are interested in (or have lurkers who pipe up every once in awhile). Anyway...

As pp stated - I'm shocked they rolled this out with so many bugs and that they haven't rolled it back yet. Where I work, if we see the slightest drop in conversion, the changes get rolled back asap. And we certainly test and test well before we release anything in the first place (and we do it in the middle of the night in case there are problems....).

You can say as much shit as you fucking want!

[josieposy]

Hi.

[2curlydogs]

This assumes that TN actually beta tests. Or has an IT staff. Or knows anything about websites, design, development, UX, CSS, or, well, anything.

What the fuck kind of question is that?

I posted this last night and it disappeared so I shall repeat for shits and... fucks and cunts and cocks and whatever else I can say on here. I've hated every single Knot/Nest update and I've always gone back, so I'm not GBCNing just yet. However, I truly am laughing at just how awful the transition is going.

OMG, I love being just IIOY. However, I'm damn disappointed that it's all lower case.

Actually I could create a header or footer with links to the other boards. If all of the boards did that then we would be able to click between them.

You should be able to change it. Go to profile --> modify profile. You have to type your password in but then you can change your display name.

Bychance is there anyway to change the background color to anything other than white?

Yeah I think we can customize any of it. I will play with it.

I'm not sold on switching entirely...I'd miss the random ML and bumpie flybys too much. But this'll do nicely till the apocolyse settles down.

Also...IT'S NOT BLOCKED AT WORK!!!!!! yet.

WAWA!!! I missed you so!

Thanks. Somehow I didn't spot that the first time I tried.

Also, WTF took meshaliu? I've never had that happen before.
