Forum migrated, please report issues!

[Admin]

Hi guys! I've been working on an updated version of EBR, and this launched a few days ago. One change we made simultaneously was to move the forums from /forums/ to a subdomain forums.electricbikereview and that reset some of the permissions. I apologize for the downtime that was experienced these past few days. I was expecting this to work seamlessly, and had hired consultants to help with the migration. After three days of petitioning for their help, I dove in myself and figured it out! I'm still making adjustments and welcome any feedback about issues that you might be having here. I also welcome feedback about the new EBR design.

Sincerely,
Court

@Court:
Whenever I post a valid Forum link on Facebook:
"https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/forum-migrated-please-report-issues.53757/page-2"
and then launch that link from Facebook, the Forum engine interprets that link as:
"https://forums.electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/forum-migrated-please-report-issues.53757/page-2" leading to "Oops!".

Besides, are you ignoring me?

Seems one can be obtuse both deliberately and ignorantly.
So... how's the view from the podium today?

Before migration, each page in a thread had a page navigation bar at the top and bottom. Now the top bars are gone. Can they be restored?

I also request this.

Thanks

I originally logged in and created my account using Google, since the site has been updated, I can no longer log in. I don't want to create a new account as I will lose my threads.

Kudos to the EBR team: Some of the issues I reported above have already been addressed!

One more issue: Before migration, each page in a thread had a page navigation bar at the top and bottom. Now the top bars are gone. Can they be restored?

I'd like to repeat this request. Navigation of multi-page threads is a lot clumsier now that the top page navigation bar is gone.

If that's no longer possible, how about adding a "Jump to new" or similar button to this row at the top?

Thanks again for a great forum!

I realize it's not what you are suggesting, but if you want to go to the latest post in a thread; from the list of new posts, click on the time in the list instead of the name of the thread and it will take you to the latest post.

Thanks for pointing this out to the site manager... it was fixed very quickly, which I also appreciate.

Excellent! That does the trick.

An amazing number do, and it improves the experience. Facebook interface is not important to a majority.

 

[tomjasz]

is anal retentive hyphenated? It's an ever improving forum both structurally and in keeping up and most days ahead of the rest of the eBike forums. endless_sphere for the geek factor EBR for the kinder gentler community of trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent riders sprinkled with an occasional asshat. But IMO Joy Scouts are the norm here. Often called the fundamental principles of Scouting but definitely EBR under Court.

Sorry Court, since the new EBR site design came online I have found myself going to it less and less. It now has a sterile impersonal feel to it that limits my interest to explore it.

I notice the bike reviews do not seem to refresh.

 

[BlackHand]

I would just like to be able to search for posts properly.

Search has been broken(again) since the end of October. Any posts after the last few days of Oct don't show up in search results using either phrase or searching by member.

 

[Stefan Mikes]

I confirm: the Search does not work for posts published after the Forum migration.

 

[kevinmccune]

my hats off to anyone that can keep this bit of cyberspace going after XP and others i just gave couldnt keep up( no time after work) now after retirement i dont seem to care,thank you court and company.

 

[Bubba zanetti]

If I go to my profile, click on content … I see nothing since Sept 28/23.
To me that signals a problem.
The forum works. But the ebike reviews also do not update.

 

[Ender]

I'd like to have a way to filter and sort the review list.

I know what kind of bike I'm looking for and I know my price range, but I might not know the manufacturers. How about in order of newest to oldest? Or latest review to older? Or by reviewer? Just reviews with videos?

Maybe a list with Brand, Model, Type, Year, Motor, Battery W/H, MSRP, Weight, etc.

 

[BEC111]

It appears that reviews can no longer sorted. Especially by date: newest to oldest

 

[Bubba zanetti]

I’m assuming Court is no longer with EBR ?

 

[Gionnirocket]

Please stand by... Under new management.

 

[Bubba zanetti]

Strange way to roll out something of that significance …
