TalkBass Upgrade July 2nd 1:30am

wow this sucks

The inmediate thing I noticed is I think the old classifieds section was better when you separated basses, pedals, uprights, amps etc in their own category. Now the classifieds section is a jumble of all listings, a downgrade from before.

There is no link to this on the main pages but this would work. You'll see a sidebar for other categories on the left

Instant impression this new version is worse.

You can do other than like now. Wondering with the big GOM population (GOM = Grumpy Old Man ), if we'd see a lot of not happy reaction

So far so good. I expect once the re-indexing is done it'll speed up. Love the new theme, it's crisp and clean.

Noticing a CSS bug affecting the heights / alignments of buttons under the post composer.

Also some buttons' text isn't vertically centered correctly - in the screenshot the baseline of "Prev" is too low, it should be aligned with "2 of 2".

That said, inserting photos now is WAY faster! That weird delay is gone.

I prefer the old version by a country mile

Are keyword alerts gone now? Can't seem to find them.

Longtime member....not impressed

I guess at least we have more options now then just "Like". We can choose from "Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, Angry". That's a nice upgrade. Maybe the new version might grow on me..........hopefully.

This x1000. Please tell me we still have this feature!

I like it. The Classifieds section is way way better now. Thanks!

I want to give this a while for it to settle in and for me to get used to it but, so far, I'm not thrilled.

It takes forever to load (hopefully that will improve).

Everything seems to be just a little bit harder to get to than it used to. There's one extra step to reach everywhere I'm trying to go.

I'm being bombarded with alerts telling me I've won "achievements", reached "levels", gotten "points"…. Is there any way to turn all that crap off? This is a discussion forum (and a really good one). It's not a video game. I don't want prizes.

All this said, the admins and staff of this forum work really hard for us and I appreciate that software needs to be updated from time to time and that you, the people doing all this work, don't always get to choose what the new version looks like. Thank you, sincerely, for all your effort, even if I'm not yet sold on the new version.

I gave you an Angry, well... someone had to do it.

Hope it will not anger many, though we know it will.

How can you edit one's profile? I can view details but there does not appear to be an edit function??

Turn the other cheek and give love

Woah. This is super wierd for me. I've been a TB member for 10+ years… I could probably use the old site even if I went blind. I'm uncomfortable with this change lol.

 

[S-Bigbottom]

The Amazon Fire Stick use to work on this site but now it does not let ya type anymore.

HELP
