Posted October 6, 20186 yr Now that everything is switched over, we can use this thread for issues that need addressed. One issue I'm aware of is formatting. This forum does not use BBC code, which causes linked pictures to not show.
October 6, 20186 yr Author Also, the forum is running many tasks in the background which will take a while. These tasks are to correct the formatting issues such as images, videos and quotes.
October 12, 20186 yr Is there a way to see a list of all threads you're following that have new posts in them, like was available on the old forum?

October 18, 20186 yr Overall, I like the new software... but it does seem slower than the old forum. Have we set up any server-side caching for this new forum? Here is info on caching options: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/advanced-options/configuration-options/utilizing-caching-methods-r275/

Here is info on caching options: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/advanced-options/configuration-options/utilizing-caching-methods-r275/ This forum software does use more system resources overall but remains quite fast, albeit slightly slower than SMF. To answer your question, we use Redis for caching. It is the preferred method of the software provider.
November 1, 20186 yr Overall I love the new site. Is there a way to adjust your settings to where when you click on a topic that has an unread post, you go to the first unread post? On the old site when you clicked on an unread topic name it took you to the last unread post automatically, this one takes you to the very first post every time.

Yikes. There should be no bragging about "Secret" interface tips for commonly used/requested features. The fact that so many people (myself included) didn't know clicking on the star/dot would take you to the last unread comment is a sign that a) it's a common request and b) the current interface is poorly designed.
