What's Currently Still Being Fixed After Migration

...

No problem. You can type the text representation of a happy face, such as ":", followed by a ")", and it will visually represent it :)

I'm trying to be optimistic. ...

I was shocked by the different look of the forums too.. Maybe I've been sleeping under a rock but some things are just too.. different. I don't think I'll be using it like most people, then again, I never did that with social media anyway..

-~-~-~-
Just curious (haven't tried to see if this is a possibility).. In the 'about yourself' that'd be public to people right? Would it be possible to post things that are from yourself .. like maybe a book list or something? Maybe not in the 'about you' section but if it were possible to put some text on your own profile or a post that you yourself made to yourself? uhhhh I am probably sounding really confusing here.

Greetings everyone,

I come with great news, the forum's email functionality has been fixed! If you have not been able to access your account, please attempt a password reset.

If you are still not able to access your account, send me an email.

If you have already sent me one, please be patient, as I have quite a few tasks to balance.

I think this is public.

Thank you for restoring my account! :D
Also I am curios, the new forum is really nice but what's with the likes, trophies and date of birth requirement, given the fact that the forum is used for spiritual people to advance and just that shouldn't had been kept simple like the old one?

Date of birth is not a requirement. It was also in the previous forums too btw.

Likes are for if people don't want to write a reply, but can give a quick reaction. If you read through the thread by HPZM announcing this new forum, you'll see more about it. :)

(I personally don't like the trophies either as it will encourage attention-seeking, but it's only a few trophies and all the other features are useful.)

Where are you trying to post the sermons? Also, are there any attachments or anything that may interfere? Try to post different variations, like half the sermon, or without pictures. Also try to post it on your personal profile and see if it goes through that way.

I'm trying to post the translated sermons in the Italian section. I've did like you said: Yes, if I split the sermon in multiple messages the server accepts it. However, it is also a method that requires a lot of time, because of the message approval system.

You can change the visibility of certain elements in the settings.

Greetings all. I hope you are enjoying the new forums.

First, if you need help recovering your account still, please contact me. To those of you who contacted me recently, please check your inboxes.
The forum migration may have reverted your username to a previous one, so try logging in with your old username first, and then requesting a username change within your profile settings.

As of right now we are still working on:
- EDIT: EMAIL HAS BEEN FIXED. TRY REQUESTING A PASSWORD RESET IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO YOUR ACCOUNT!
- Coloring issues with some website elements not being very visible
- Nobody was intentionally stripped of mod powers or "rank." If you are unable to do something you used to be able to, please email.

I logged in on phone but I can't log in on laptop. It says "password incorrect" Maybe I have forgotten it. Can a Mod email me my current password?

First of all I want to thank you for restoring my account!. I was a little shocked at first with the changes on this website! But then as I got into it and started looking at things! It actually become fun! It's nice that I can post pictures on here which was something that I could not do before! And I think it's nice that I can put likes and hearts and emojis! Being the kind of girly girl I was back in the days! I love to put stickers on everything and I also have a few sticker albums as well! And I like the fact that you can post and pin and paste and copy on here! Plus it's easy to share videos as well! I like this new format! And I am having lots of fun with it! Trying to figure things out and working my way around. Befriending people and those of interest! Reading and sharing each other's stories! And having something to say? It makes it easier to be able to get on here and talk to somebody and have a conversation about their post or their article! And to be able to voice and share your opinion on it. I LOVE IT!!!❤️🙂

I already messed around with that but Ill go back and see if anything needs changing :)

I have a question. I switched accounts back in the day and that one is on a different email. Would it be possible to link them together? Or do I have to clarify that on both of the accounts separately (like add it in the signature or something)?

I didn't want it to be linked back in the day for *reasons* but I somewhat changed my mind. I am not sure if it would be a good choice to do so or not but I just want to know if it is possible.

Greetings everyone, ...

Using the main Search function doesn't seen work to find content in replies, only main threads, specifically.

seems mostly fixed but only for topic links - linking to old replies like the one is that example still do not work.

Sometimes linking to an old reply will redirect to the start of the topic.

This ratio:

to the title of a sub-forum or a topic seems a bit too tall for my taste, maybe make each table cells a bit shorter if possible if this doesn't squeeze text. I imagine new people who doesn't speak English clicking on their country's forum link and being confused with so much English text just before the main body. I assume the "Welcome" box will disappear at some point as well.

Another thing I noticed as a problem, is that If you scroll down, you have no way to see which topic are you watching right now. There is no title of replies anymore, no "RE:...", or something, it would be great if it would display somewhere the title of the topic I am watching right now, so that I know.

All old links should work now, just put in a fix. Please test it further and let me know.

We tried to reduce some of the spacing, but it ended up cutting things off. Eventually we will remove the Upgraded Forums notice, which will reduce the spacing.

As far as I am aware, this is not the case yet. Talking about the quoting feature here.

I went back into the archive, and I see what you mean now. Yes, I think I can recreate this.

Hello again,

I'm not sure if this is redundant at this point, but I noticed that quoting a post after the platform update seems to make the function of moving onto the quoted post work, but the same is not true for the posts before the update.

Yes, unfortunately, I do not think there is anything I can do about this.

I still have the original ancient-forums available on apolloabove.org, however, the search function does not work (requires an active database). This is something I could look into in the future, but I am focusing on major current tasks.

I have a question. I switched accounts back in the day and that one is on a different email. Would it be possible to link them together? Or do I have to clarify that on both of the accounts separately (like add it in the signature or something)?

Account linking is not possible at the moment.

I frequently use the Search to find things that I have written before, or things that other people have written before, so that I can copy this message and share it as an answer where somebody is asking about this. I often write very long messages when I am explaining something, so it is impossible for me to remember everything that I wrote without forgetting to include things. Especially if I wrote the message a long time ago.

Now that the old forum has been removed, the Search is also gone. Tens of thousands of posts from several years are no longer possible to be found in a search. They might as well have all been completely deleted everything, because without a search it is impossible to find any of these. The only thing that the Search is able to find now is what has been written in the past couple days on the new forum.

Search, which is one of the top most important features, is now gone. I have multiple posts I have written before that I am wanting to copy and share as a response to questions that have been asked, and I am not able to access these so I am not able to answer and help these people with this information. But at least now people can click "like" on a comment. I think the "like" is a good idea, but I can't see how any of this was worth it. Everything that we have lost with this update was much more valuable than what we have gained.
