    I made some behind the scenes changes in the site, but it might cause some problems.

    If you notice any oddities, post here and I'll try to fix them.

    Front page and forums included.

    thanks

    I'm not sure of it has to do anything with it, but today the site is extremely slow for me...

    I'm not downloading anything and other sites load fast like ever...

    I'm liking the additions to the the toolbar. "New Posts" and "Mark Forums Read" should definitely come in handy.

    Edit: For someone who checks the forums compulsively, the "New Posts" feature is freaking amazing.

    Wow. Even if the changes are minor, they really stand out! It's good. Especially the new posts toolbar in the User Profile.

    But, I think the best feature is Open Contacts Popup! :) Thanks for that.

    hah, those weren't intended changes.

    looks like ajax was disabled somehow.

    looking into it.

    Oh no, they're gone :[. Why?

    Edit: I just realized there was a "Quick Links" tab on the toolbar for the first time, wtf? That hasn't always been there right? I have not been here two years and a half, and just notice that.

    Sorry i couldn't react in time, but today the site is fast again :)


    I have a question as well: How does this New Posts function work exactly? Can i make it so that it would display only threads that i want to? Because right now it shows a lot of random threads as well which i'm not even interested in..

    If you want to follow specific threads, have you tried the subscription option?

    Quick Links -> Subscribed Threads

    This was happening before any changes - but navigating the site properly is a real pain on my iPhone.

    None of the pop-down windows (like "search") work the first time, and when "search" does work, the first time I type a key it disappears. Second time, same thing happens. Third time it finally works.

    Last night though, even the "notification center" pop-down wouldn't open for me. All I saw was a tiny gray rectangle, as though it was the top-right corner of the whole box.


    Not sure if that's what you were looking for, but hey - feedback is good, right?

    The site will not switch out of mobile view on my iPod touch. It launches the desktop link when I click on it, but then immediately goes back to mobile view ( you never see the desktop view load). This started this morning when I cleared my history and cookies.

    I'm pretty sure "New Posts" has always been there, but yes it is amazing. Yay vBulletin! :)

    1. The text is offset from the butttons on the top of this page (Home, Reviews, etc.).
    2. The new buttons don't look at good as the original simple ones.

    The mobile site will not launch by default when going to toucharcade.com anymore on my iPod touch using Atomic or Opera web browsers, nor on my Android phone using the default or Opera web browsers. I can still get the mobile site using Safari on my iPod, but that's about it.

    I've been meaning to mention this as well, the text on the top button goes way off-center (to the right) if you navigate away from the home page.
