HendryTan Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 1. Welcome back everyone ! Test our new URL https://www.blowingwind.io/forum/index.php Yes that is https:// ie SSL. to protect your personal privacy. We also took a new domain ending with .io, the most sexiest and hottest domain extension 2. Sorry the upgrade took longer than expected, however we hope the view is worth it. Look around and explore. There are still quite a lot of rough corners that we're fixing. Expect some un-scheduled downtime. 3. I will post something to check up only tomorrow evening. 4. Please post any bugs here too. 5. Have Fun ! Coolbriz and Bern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocklm Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Just to check how do I post recent status updates, I am using iphone so i tried to post status updates after login but was unable to do so. Able to help? I noticed that recent postings or hot topics are not available for viewing. It will be difficult for us to follow up on topics. There are also no options to view full site. Mobile site is restrictive. I hope there is a way to view full site even if using mobile devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aedirn Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Hihi, I cannot seem to access the mobile chat on my phone....I had logged in to BW, but after that when I click mobile chat floating tab, it brought me there and still display "you must log in to use mobile chat".... but I already logged in.

Guest Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 (1) new upgraded forum seems to load much more slowly. (2) quoted posts doesn't seem to show up as boxed-up contents anymore, so it's rather hard to figure out what were quoted and what were the comments. (3) at least one quoted post seems to be parked in the wrong context; http://www.blowingwind.org/forum/index.php?/topic/71897-lesbian-couple-verbally-insulted-by-mcdonalds-ang-mo-kio-staff-member/&do=findComment&comment=1379141 (4) the emotions are gone... sob... sob... sob... But overall I think the new upgrade is still ok. P.S. And I love the placement of the captcha for guest on the same main page as the thread. clap... clap...clap... melvinix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am unable to reply to the users' statuses this same old way because there is no option for it unless I go to the full status updates page itself and then i can reply there. very cumbersome. overall, the design is not very user-friendly. i prefer the old version for easier navigation. thumbs down. Hi, 1. The forum is currently rebuilding its content including posts and images and will continue to do so for the next few days. That may explain the missing icons and slower loading time. Can you try to refresh your browser cache and see if it helps with the missing icons? 2. Thanks for highlighting. I have made notification editable. I went ahead to turn off email notifications for you too -- you can still go back to make any changes as you wish in future. 3. To protect your privacy, we have also upgraded to SSL aka HTTPS. As there are still some mixed content and stuff that broke without the admins noticing. You might see some security warning for the time being. Can you help to report more bugs and errors to us here preferably with a screenshot. Visit the forum at https://www.blowingwind.io/forum for best result. Happy holidays!

In order for the new interface to work efficiently, it is important that Members report for any bug even if it is inconsequential. This is the only way that we can "go back" to "normal".

PerfectXayne Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 The interface looks perfectly neat now. Just a few more head-ups from my observation: 1) The usernames of users in Chat, when clicked, doesn't direct to their profile, but otherwise can be accessed on normal forum grounds. 2) Inability to conduct quick back-to-back searches with a countdown timer. (Is there any agenda on this?) If there's anything else I can find, I'll write in again. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, my messages appear to show correctly if I press "return" (something like pressing "Enter" on a keyboard) instead of pressing the "Send" button beside the chatbox where you type your messages.

sphere Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Not sure if this is consider a bug, the mobile chat is always turned on whenever I restart (or off-on) the phone. I would have to turn the chat off when this happens. Could this setting be "remembered" (like the old version) so that the chat won't be on automatically when the phone needs to be restarted? Happy - is what we should be, always. Notice: I DO NOT use the Chat Function in this Forum - this has always been written in my profile (and I don't read it too). {it is unfortunate that this new Chat Function does not allow users to turn/switch off in mobile phone} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aedirn Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi mods, Today users of the chat room faced a peculiar "bug" where if I am using desktop version of the chat, what we typed into the chat doesn't show up at all until we refresh the page. This happens on chrome, IE, firefox as well. However the mobile version seems OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube3 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 May I check? I used to follow a topic i.e. Song LIstening To, and the posts used to go straight to my yahoo email and I was able to read when I checked my yahoo email, without having to log onto BW. Lately the posts in email seemed to have disappeared, tho I checked and it appears am still following... Quite a few of latest posts were not sent to follower? Just wondering...

drake25 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Just out of curiousity for the moderators: Is it possible for the latest posts or the last post of any thread be made to appear first when u open the thread...rather than having to go all the way to the last page of the thread. makes reading the most recent post easier.
