Will Apple users continue to be discriminated against in the chat room?

Well done boys

Things that I know are broken...
- The Resources menu doesn't work in IE11 (use Chrome or Firefox)
- Users can't log into the wiki
- Auto posting of blogs isn't re-enabled yet.

Wiki fixed

Will Apple users continue to be discriminated against in the chat room?

What's Apple? 

Kidding.. We haven't determined what we're doing for a chat client yet.  We'll be working on that in the next few months leading up to the season start.

So what chat client will we use for Italy?

[ttheisen]

We had to remove it from the Resources menu, due to a technical problem.  But, at the top right of every board, there is a "Mark read" button that does the same thing.  Also, at the bottom of the main index page (listing all the boards), there is now a "Mark all messages as read" button to get everything in one fell swoop.

That will work, cheers.

Apparently it wouldn't be limited to just apple users

Anyhow, as Spiral mentioned, we're looking at new options, and will roll one out before the season.  Hopefully more integrated with the forum than our former 'flash'y variety.

No rush, I don't think you'll need the chat function until conference season anyway

Forum won't load on mobile. Only side menu does.

Mobile viewing should now be much more optimized.  If you don't like the "simple" view on your mobile (or ipad, or galaxy tab....), then select "Desktop View" in the browser, and you should again see it just as you would with a regular PC.

Mobile looks much better, nice job!

Yay, you guys used the icons I made back in....2009?!  Cripes was it that long ago?

I can't believe it was that long either.  We wanted to use more, but we couldn't get the rest of the layout to work correctly with the side blocks...I'll shoot you an e-mail.

And with that, I should acknowledge that Crew put a good amount of work into helping us get some updates done back in '09 - screencap of what we worked on attached.  But we failed in ever rolling that out.

I may have missed this but is it possible to format the forum so that when I click a thread topic it will automatically take me to the first new post made since I last read the topic?

For example, the Beer Advocate website has it so that when I can click "Mark Forums Read" at 11.22 AM the next time I visit a particular thread it will open on the first post made after 11.22 AM that I haven't seen rather then opening the thread on the very first post and me scrolling down manually to that which I last remember reading.

GA - Click the orange colored NEW bubble and it will do as you ask.

Man I'm lost. Sorry if this has been posted already but where are all the links to the wiki and other resources. While it looks nice and I'm sure I'll like all the changes the more I look at it, I Do not like the new way of ignoring.  Too many steps now. But hey I'm sure there's some logic to i that makes it better. Thanks for putting in the time to improve the board.

Excellent stuff. Thank you for the hint.

Where is the desktop version button located for mobile users?

It's a feature of the browser itself, not the forum...

I like it! Nice job guys!

Only thought I have is to make the topic font bold, instead of regular. Since it is blue blue on light blue, it can be a little tougher to read, but that's a super minor issue, so no biggie if its not possible.

That may help in reading the topics easier (or maybe my eyesight is dropping quickly...)

Ahh, got it thanks. I may be the most technology ignorant 21 year old

To be fair, I *should* be able to provide a link on the mobile site that would allow a switch to the desktop site.  But...that is more work (so maybe I'll get to it).

This request isn't for me, but a friend of mine.

Is there anyway that Scoop can track how many people are clicking on threads that I've started and threads started by others and let me know if threads by others are getting more clicks than mine, so that I can modify the titles of my threads?

[77ncaachamps]

In the Wiki, I created the Presbyterian page.

However, there are two "Create This Page" links present: one in the top bar and one at the top right of the content page window (it's in italics).

The latter actually adds the content as a heading to ALL Wiki pages.

Lol yes!

Brb, defacing the wiki!

I remember requesting the top banner link back to the homepage in...'07?  It's done!   
Except now I've learned to navigate quickly without it so won't ever use it.
