Thanks to @MattWServices for all the work ?

 

[MattWServices]

No worries

It's a good update and provides a lot of nice new features

 

[ImSundee]

Fonts look alot better.

Looks like they increased the size and added alot more bold

 

[R120]

the OCD symetrist in me is picking up that the menu's at the top of the page don't line up anymore

 

[R120]

Also we seem to have lost some of the sections, like agree, helpful etc etc? All I can see is like and some emojis

They have been disabled while @Rob Hancill works on them.

Would someone mind replying to this thread, so I can see what email alerts look like? Thanks

YUP

Can you make it so that email alerts are easier to turn off - I have tried for 2 years but still get them, so have over 5k emails from the forum

Should all be manageable in the preferences:

Yeah never really works before, despite me turning everything off - will try again

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Has anyone had push notifications through (sadly doesn't work on iOS phones!)

 

[Zimmerframe]

If you turn it off .. it doesn't work retrospectively .. normally just on new threads.. so previous threads, you still get e-mails for. On those threads, you need to click unwatch .. then watch again so it uses the new e-mail settings. .. phffff ... newbies ???????‍?‍?‍??????????????????⛸?‍?‍?‍????⚔???⚠⚠⁉????‍

OK .. so just a couple of new smileys in there ...

[Zimmerframe]

I’ll fix this asap

 

[Zimmerframe]

Maybe less reactions, like are there now ... is a good thing ???

Like, Love, Funny, Wow, Sad, Angry

The others can be fun, but also are sooo easy to miss interpret .. and too easy for someone to click to disagree or say something is crap, but without explaining or opening it to discussion.

Sad is a nice inclusion .. it was always difficult to know what reaction when someone says "I've had my bike stolen hope I find it" ... Like ? to support them ? Angry .. because it's stolen ?

If something is helpful or "thanks" .. "like" love and wow all cover those ?

When there's a crap post, move on .. you don't need to say "you're crap" ..

Is it just me?
Of the great long list under "Whats New?" I found most to be technobabble, features not benefits. Whatever. The two I think I understand are:

• Emoji enhancements including an improved smilie menu with easy emoji access
• Video uploads

For the rest...............yawn....... ? Will I even notice?

I can see it's a bit different in how it looks, but there must be more to it than that. Is security increased? If so, I didn't realise it was a problem. I can do without the smilie changes unless of course they are designed to reduce the number of word wars we get. Which would be a good thing.

What is there to be angry about?
I really have no idea what all the other new things actually do or how they would help me.

 

[GrandPaBrogan]

The white thumbs-up icon enclosed in a blue circle is doing my OCD head in!
It doesn’t match the graphic style of all the other reaction emojis. Arrrgh! ???
