Thanks for asking!

A bug I've experienced:

I continued to get emails for posts to subscribed threads even after turning off that option in settings. Went on for weeks. I ultimately unsubscribed cause I could find no other way of stopping the emails.

An enhancement I'd like to see:

Several Reaction options for posts, not just Appreciate. Appreciate is a good one, but sometimes you just want to laugh or say "wow" or express sadness.

Certainly appreciate the extensive efforts for the new UI and functionality improvements; TY!

Bug Observation

> Notifications - Shows one (1) to review; no content displayed [example below]

Great bug find. I think it has to do with the interaction between the old and new forum, however any interaction with the new forum should hopefully correct it. It’s one that we won’t know for sure about until we go fully into the new software. Until then I will keep a watch on it. Ps let me know how dark mode treats you, good bad or otherwise 👍

Bug Observation II

Notifications - "Mark all as read"

After selecting function works to 'grey-out' posts; however, notification counter doesn't reflect zero after page reload.

apptest wrote

Ok that part might be on purpose. "hear me out" 😁. The idea is that when it's highlighted in purple, that's showing you how many unread notifications you have. when its no longer highlighted (like what your screenshot has), then its a count of the total notifications you left in your box. You can test it out by marking one of those notifications as unread and refresh the page and it should go purple with a count of 1. try it out and see if it becomes more normal for you or if it still doesnt make sense after some time using it just let me know, none of this is set in stone, ill put it on the block for re-evaluation

Understood...as suggested gave it a go.
On this occasion, outcome was as described - marked your last notification as unread after viewing, then refreshed.
> Previous posts marked (4) unread disappeared as expected.
> Reloaded page 'notification tally' then accurately illustrated (1) unread.
Lookin' good so-far...
Thinkin' once outta beta, updated UI instruction(s) likey needed to educate on 'how-to's' etc appropriate.

Appreciate responsiveness/replies to 'observations', etc

Curious, do you see the beta site as being in a place where you can use it permanently?

To-date, my use is ~50/50 for 'browsing' and comparative purposes.
IMO, until equal and proposed improved functionality is complete...not quite ready for exclusive use.

nice, excited to try it out.

my issue on the original set up is last year or so I would not consistently receive emails letting me know I have a message etc.. that needs attending to on the forums. So I have to constantly log in and check to make sure I didn't miss any messages. It would be nice if it was not so random and more consistent

apptest wrote

For sure that is one of the main goals/fixes for the new forum. Because the old software still wants to send emails there would at times be duplicate emails or conflicts so no emails. Once we are able to move 100% to the new site then I can very easily round out the email situation and we should be good to go, I'll add it to the above Roadmap but just to be aware it will literally have to be the last part of the process. TBH ive already built and put the pieces in place so its mostly just turning on the switch 👍

And yes looking forward to having more ppl try it out and post up here about anything and everything good or bad I want to hear it and put in patches. so far the use has been good and ive already been able to put in so many little fixes here in there in the background as more and more people are using it

So... I regularly click on "New Posts" to check for updates to threads I'm following and anything else new that people are posting. But almost without fail, it will not show posts that I know are very recent -- more recent than posts it is showing.

I'm in the G87/G42 forum. I actually am interested only in G87 content, but this is what I get when selecting G87 from the forum list.

So I click on New Posts and threads that I know I or someone else posted to recently don't show up at all.

Here's just one recent example: there's this thread: https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2231960 The last post in it was by me, at 12:27 today.

But when I go to New Posts here: https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/search.php?searchid=146202140 it is nowhere to be found. Even though this list of "new posts" includes ones made an hour or two before mine.

Is this a bug that can be fixed? Or is it my settings?

Also, is there a way to see only G87 content?

Thanks!

PS -- I re-up my suggestion for reactions other than Appreciate. Sometimes you want to Love, or Laugh, or say this is Sad, or Helpful.
