  1. Architecht's post in Can we get the "all" button back to see all the posts in a thread? was marked as the answer   
    I get why this would be handy sometimes, but it's also a problem if people click on super huge posts. This one is unlikely to come back. If I stumble across a plugin that might help get to the intent of this without actually loading every post in a huge thread, I'll see if it makes sense to install.
  2. Architecht's post in Remove or Introduce a Time Delay on 'Hovering' was marked as the answer   
    I turned off the hover stuff on each forum that showed the description. I THINK that's the only one that pretty much popped up a hover with no delay. It's also the only one I can easily control, and probably the least useful one. The trade off is that not the descriptions always show, so it's a bit more scrolling, but it's probably better that it's off anyway.
  3. Architecht's post in Is there a redirection plan? was marked as the answer   
    Yes, there is. We have a file that will handle 301 redirects from the old boards to each separate instance of the new boards. When that happens all of the old posts links will work and search engine results will gracefully redirect to the right post on the new boards. The delay is due to making sure that old users aren't left behind and a bit of technical stuff with a swap to a new server for the old domain along with verifying the functionality of some of the other things besides the boards software that the old server was hosting. It should be done soon though.
  4. Architecht's post in Are notifications down? was marked as the answer   
    Eh, they just re-instated us 20 minutes ago.
    And I added a new spam prevention tool.
  5. Architecht's post in How do I enable desktop version on phone? was marked as the answer   
    For all you dekstop-on-mobile-pinch-zoom-preference people, here's your solution:
    Go to themes at the bottom.
    Choose this one: 
    CGC Boards theme v1.3 for pinch zoomers - desktop site on mobile

  6. Architecht's post in Where did the General Discussion the the Sales forum go? was marked as the answer   
    It looks like the noobies questions and general discussion were merged by a moderator. I don't know why yet. I am not sure it was intentional. It would be massively time consuming to undo it though, so we might be stuck starting a new thread.
  7. Architecht's post in Messages and Notifications was marked as the answer   
    I think if you turn off these notifications, you will still get something over your inbox icon, but not on notifications:

    Done

    Fixed
  10. Architecht's post in I miss the way the old forums showed the number of new posts in a thread. was marked as the answer   
    I've looked for a plug-in that does this but there's no convenient way to bring this feature back. I miss it too.
  11. Architecht's post in See more real user-generated content without scrolling was marked as the answer   
    The new v1.3 themes make things much more compact. Probably not quite as much as the old boards, but more compact.
     
  12. Architecht's post in Display date of CGC membership ? was marked as the answer   
    I installed a plugin that makes this visible on the posts without hovering on DESKTOP. It hides it on mobile to preserve space.
  13. Architecht's post in Add "Unread" and "Read" status to PM's was marked as the answer   
    There are cards at the top of a message showing the message participants and whether they have read everything in the PM.
    Here is the mobile view.
     

  14. Architecht's post in Move the eBay ads to the bottom was marked as the answer   
    This was done sometime last week.
  15. Architecht's post in Paste function for pics no longer working? was marked as the answer   
    Hm, never tried that before, but I don't think it would ever have worked if you are talking about copy/pasting an image from your file system. If you were highlighting it on a web page, you might be able to post a link to an image.
  16. Architecht's post in Image At The Bottom Of My Post was marked as the answer   
    I think you mean turning on Signatures. You can find that under the "Settings" menu at the top under "Signature Settings"
  17. Architecht's post in Selling was marked as the answer   
    There are no rules, I believe, against stating in a set description that the set is for sale.
  18. Architecht's post in Books on sets was marked as the answer   
    Hi! Welcome to the boards!
    You can find the CGC Registry forum at the link below. There are two threads pinned at the top - one for requesting new sets, and one for requesting expansions to existing sets:

  19. Architecht's post in BLACK DOT/STAR FEATURE NOT WORKING PROPERLY was marked as the answer   
    Hi,
    Sometimes, especially in a thread with many large pictures, there's a delay between starting the page loading and jumping to the first unread post. Have you noticed whether, if you wait, you eventually move to the first unread thread? Or does it permanently get stuck?
  20. Architecht's post in Dot and stars for new or unread content was marked as the answer   
    As a question - no way to put the jump to unread link inside the post that I can see without customizing pretty significantly.
    As a feature request, it might be interesting. You could add it to the change requests forum.

  23. Architecht's post in So whats customizable in the less white theme was marked as the answer   
    There is a pencil icon at the top of the page in the menu bar that toffees some basic options. It isn't tons, but it's something.
  24. Architecht's post in Is there a way to adjust posts per page? was marked as the answer   
    You couldn't lactate an answer? Well, it was answered already, but believing in the milk of human kindness, I'll re-post that this doesn't appear to be adjustable by each user.
    Because we're still running a few migration tasks here and there as we discover issues, we are still occasionally slowing the boards down a bit with database adjustments. My guess is you just hit a slow spike. Does that page load slowly for you every time?
  25. Architecht's post in Wathing a topic on mobile was marked as the answer   
    Interesting. It looks like you have found a genuine bug. I thought it might be a theme problem, but even the IP boards default theme doesn't show that control.
