Hey folks! We're open for member registration and for live testing. Expect changes! Have fun kicking the tires and pushing buttons. Please report any problems and make suggestions. This place is yours and I want you all to enjoy coming here and using it.
ummm. what level of testing would you like performed.
white box/black box/ beta...
Push it until it screams and see what errors pop out?
It might be me not you, but I can't seem to log in using the boxes on the top-left of the home page.
Clicking on the "login" tab and using the boxes there works fine.
I'm running Firefox / Adblock Plus / NoScript (but disabled on ufozs.com and jquery.com).

Do Adblock+ and NoScript have logs you could check? That might help point us in the right direction.

It's probably NoScript. Those boxes are Javascript
SMF/Cleantalk seem to be blocking registration with a VPN (Which can be a good thing)
"Show unread posts since last visit." Does not appear to be working, unless there's a cookie I've kicked out...

Could be the cookie but I thought I had that set server side not client side. I'll check it.
Cleantalk goes by a lot of criteria and VPNs are notorious spam sources.

Cookie - Cool. VPN - might want to make a *note* on the reg page. It took me a few time trying to find out what was crashing it, adblockers, badge, https, firefox, vpn... lol :)

Next question, is there an active topic button? I like coming in, hitting active topics and seeing what's being discussed. So far haven't seen that on the new layout.

There's an unread posts link and a "new replies to your posts" link by your avatar at the top of every page. Additionally, each category area has an unread posts link on it.

Yeah, mine too. Not sure what's up with that. Could be an issue just for this theme, or could be an issue with the base script that will get fixed in a future release.

Listen, it's not unreasonable to expect that the system handles dates BC/BCE.

The system rolls over at 4.

Dont know if I haven't found it, or if it doesn't exist, but a "New posts" or "unread posts" would work well.
QuoteShow unread posts since last visit.
If you inadvertently exit, you lose the ability to see posts, as your last visit would be seconds ago...
QuoteShow new replies to your posts.

From what I hear the next edition of this forum package, due out soon, takes care of this issue.
Actually found a link, I'll see if I can find it again.. lol
Ok, 2 ways to do it.
If you click on
QuoteShow unread posts since last visit.
You'll get a list, Down on the bottom right is a button for
QuoteAll Unread Topics
Which will pull up any post you haven't read.
The second way is from the "Home" area, scroll down to the pertinent subject category your looking for and click "Unread posts" and It'll do the same thing as above, for that area....
Direct link to "Unread posts"
https://ufozs.com/smf/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0 (https://ufozs.com/smf/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0)
Are "applaud" and "smite" the same as thumbs up and thumbs down? I think I accidentally clicked "applaud" while scrolling through on my phone, which at least is better than accidentally smiting someone.
Feedback: My Kindles have been my internet access for years now.
After the first couple of days on ufozs the https://ufozs.com and https://www.ufozs.com links started timing-out most of the time (with all three Kindles)
Tonight I could get on the landing page eventually, but the Enter function didn't work for me.
All 3 Kindles do stream Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and everything else internet related with no issues with loading, loading time, or buffering.
I had bookmarked the Index page early on which loads instantly so now I access ufozs with https://ufozs.com/smf/index.php
Don't know what this means but I thought I'd mention it in case others report similar.
Tonight when clicking Post in the thread COVID sitrep where you are, I was disconnected from the site 3 times before it let the post go through.
I've also frequently had to refresh pages to get them to load, but only in the last couple days. I was blaming it on me having hundreds of tabs open though.
ROTFL picturing hundreds of tabs open.

This is likely due to site changes made over the past few days. We've shifted to a dedicated IP address and resolved the SSL issues that had us with a weird mix of HTTP and HTTPS pages. As this all propagates out and old cookies expire and are replaced with new it will smooth itself out.
There has also been an ongoing issue with the forum package that causes page loads to come up with an error message but the folks at SMF are trying to fix that and it should be gone after the next update.

No, they're a little different. The applaud/smite system is a rating of the member overall while the reactions (there's more than just thumbs coming) are of that particular post. The bar you see at the bottom of someone's info bar shows the quality rating of their posts per the point counts from the reactions. It's kinda confusing and one or the other system may go bye-bye soon.
May want to check the log in time time function? I've been auto logged off a couple times now, despite having the "forever" option showing when logging in.

When that happens just click any link, such as the site name at the top of the page and the page will reload to show you in. It's an issue with one of the templates that I've not figured out yet.
It was pointed out to me that PMs didn't allow attachments.
PMs are now called "Conversations" and are vastly improved. They also allow attachments now. :smiley_shades:
Apologies to all for the royal borkup with the PM/messages/conversations system. One of the hazards of being on a system still doing testing.
What happened was I was pretty much running on fumes (18 hour day on here yesterday, 5 hours of broken sleep, 10 more hours on here and ZS) and in a PM exchange with a member who casually mentioned we couldn't do attachments in PMs. Well crap, did I forget to turn that on? Miss a setting? Nope, turned out it's a feature this forum package lacked, but I could get it with a mod (modification package) for $20.
One double-sawbuck later and a few minutes running the update and we had a new PM system... but it didn't convert the old PMs like it was supposed to... :smiley_huh:
I was trying to figure out why when I suddenly realized I was snoring. Asleep at the keyboard. I went off to bed for a 4 hour nap, telling myself I'd fix it when I got up. Just got up a little while ago, looked at it again and found I hadn't run the conversion script, so I did that and all the old messages are now converted... over top of all the new conversations that were started. :hitsfan:
Sorry about that. :(

🤔 This is interesting. And possibly Feedback.
Previous to this one my post count was 19. And I'm showing more Karma action on 19 posts (aprx 78%) than lots ( all that I've been able to find so far) of the members, many of them posting important, informative, well liked clever things. Also, I've not yet been able find anyone but me with negative karma. Examining my posts I'm not seeing info or wording to smite me about. Last night I was glitched off the board when posting, got back on, and found a negative karma increase. Curious.
Or I may just be a dasterdly fellow. Mwahahah... But I
did think I'd been masking it well.

Think of it as the forum equivalent of folks messing with the "Try Me" function on some products in real life.
So long as no one hits the big red "Kill the forum" button, I wouldn't be too concerned.

I'm golden now! I kind of like being gold! I also respect if future members want to more brazenly show off their contributions and you decide to accommodate their preferences. That's just not my personal preference.

I just went over the specific permissions your account has in that area and I see nothing preventing you from replying to a post. Indeed, it's the default for the area that both regular members and paid members are allowed to post or reply there.
