Welcome to the new YachtForums!

Does not duplicate, so I guess you can disregard. And now that I think about it, when I hit "Home" and got logged out, the word "Home" was at the far end of that menu line (without the word "News" to the left of "Home"), so I may have caught things at the perfect split second of a refresh or something. The observed issue did come after a long delay waiting for "New Posts" to load, and I stacked several clicks of "New Posts" ahead of the click for "Home", so it's not impossible that I created the problem at this end.

I was actually referring to Post 113, I apologise for seeming to ignore your later post.

I have tried changing between all the options under the banner and at no time do I get logged out, I have closed my browser and then opened it and clicked on the bookmark button and have come to the site already logged in.

I do not believe I have any different level of righst on this site than any other regular member so am not really sure where to suggest your issues are being generated.

Thanks for the clarification K1W1.

Regarding closing the window and using a bookmark to come back, and having the benefit of already being logged in - I'll have to try that next. That was my experience on the old forum, have to see if it replicates here. Thanks for reminding me.

Works perfectly - didn't have to log back in.

Hi Carl,

Since the upgrade, my screen looks ... well ... different ... too many white spaces ... kinda disproportionate ...

I'm attaching a screenshot ...

P.S. please click on the screen shot to see the full page ...

YF group a lot pickier than JF group aren't we?

I can't say if it irritated the lurkers enough to inspire them to contribute, but there certainly are a lot less of them viewing YF since the change from vB to XF. Here are the number of viewers during the times I normally view YF. This is a range of numbers taken over several days. (Source: Bureau Of Meaningless Statistics.)

vB: 50 to 80 members; 2200 to 2900 guests
XF: 16 to 24 members; 316 to 439 guests

Maybe they are working on stuff that will knock your socks off.

Hi Carl,

Please don't misunderstand me. It was a feedback, not a complaint.

I do understand and appreciate all the hard work and effort you put in to this.

Cheers.

Noticing some signatures appearing this evening.

I thought the site logging me off , was a security issue. I really don't have a problem with it either way.

Carl, Just wanted to let you know, that I've read several of your reviews, and they truly are much more comprehensive than any other magazine reviews I've ever read. Please keep up the good work. And if anyone walks up to you and waves a big fat check in your face to sell YF, please take a poll here prior to selling.

Carl "Hayirli olsun" let it bring good spell to all...

Wanted to wait to comment on this until I was sure it was happening almost all of the time: I really enjoy the fact that when I click on a thread title from the list of "New Posts", I am automatically directed to the first post I have not yet read. This happens without me clicking on a page number or the button marked "First Unread", just the thread title. I don't know if the old system could have done this with some tweaking of settings, but I really like that it happens now, without my having taken any action.

Now for the interesting part: Very occasionally, it does not work correctly. For the thread entitled "Dripless Seals Dripping", I have twice (once yesterday, once today) been directed to the top of the last page of the thread, rather than farther down that last page to the last unread (for me) post. Not complaining, just pointing out potentially anomalous behavior.

More feedback (all for the good of the forum).

As Max has said my screen in the office goes funky too, though this may be due to +125% screen sizing. It's fine at home on a normal screen size.

I'm not a great fan of the FaceBook-type 'likes' or silly trophy points, very immature and pointless.

As you say, a giant leap forwards and a work in progress. Keep up the good work Carl, we really do appreciate it.

We can tell you are listening Carl, and we appreciate what you have done and are doing. Don't sweat it. The site is up, it's running well, and the stuff we post here will be here when you get to it.

Get some rest, have a life. We need you here for the long haul. Thanks for all you do.
