Forum Upgrade

Font has also been tweaked to use the system default font on your device (computer / phone / tablet)

Code: 
-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,"Helvetica Neue",sans-serif

This gives a much better user experience.

Looks very slick and I tried the push notifications for 5 whole minutes until my phone kept pinging constantly and 3 forum notifications appeared while I was composing a single work email... luckily its easy to turn them off again!

You can select wish push notification alerts you wish to appear, eg for posts, conversations etc.... very customisable

Oh dear I couldnt even figure out the old emoticons, I can do smiley face and sad face and that's the extent of my emotional and technological sophistication...

Just wondered if we will still see the “Like Score” where the Points and user name etc is on the left?

If using a mobile, you just have to long press the "Like" button. In the past, you just have to click it and the post will be liked. With the upgrade, you now have the thumbs up icon, smiley with hearts eyes icon, a laughing icon, a surprise/wow icon, a sad icon and and angry icon to choose from.
 
Hmm had a panic on this morning when it all went white!

Can we have/choose the square avatars back-never liked the round ones. :(

'So n so REACTED to your post' sounds a bit overboard too I'm afraid
Also are the negative reactions counted in the old like count? Are a surprised or thumbs down etc classed as a reaction?
I do regard the likes as constructive posts that people have liked.
Jeepers how many emoticons are there to choose from... I'll never make up my mind! Lol!

I have enabled notifications but haven't experienced them yet.

Afraid I'm to be convinced on the new Facebook look, but then again I'm a pen & paper girl with little techno savvy, who I'm sure will grow to know & love it as I did the old forum :)
But mattw I take my hat off to you for the upgrade, you are a true techno wizard :nod::tu:
Xx

I think that's really good because you dont always want to "like" a post about a very poorly piggy or something and you dont always know what to say to write a reply, but you want people to know you've read it and care...

I must admit, I wasn't too sure the last time the avatars went from square to round.... But then they went square again.... and now they're round again :doh:

Fortunately, my avatar looks OK in both shapes 🙂

Okay to answer that...

Lol yes,

Can't do anything about the phrase 'reacted' unfortunately it is what the software likes to call it.

I have sent you a pm... have a read - it should also trigger a push notification for you

Negative reactions are not counted as minus points, I don't think our community lends itself to a negative vibe and it may be unwelcoming or even off putting. So they are disabled even sad face.

Yeah Emoticon city! The normal ones are still at the top though!
 
Well done everyone who has worked so hard on the new look Forum, we are so lucky to have you giving up your time to make The Forum the special place it is. Thank you.
I just got used to last years changes! I'm sure given time I'll cope with some these :))
