I have verified it today... The active topics function sucks... We were having a big discussion in a thread about MAlmsteen and it didn't even show in the "active topics"....
You see? Bring the last 10 posts!

^^ That's not what I mean, but I found out the problem; it gave me a printer friendly version first, and it gives you the URL to the actual poll spot. No worries.

Some polls have been created as vote only polls. It's an option available to the thread creator.
Persoanlly, I can't see the the point of it though, as a good poll should be a stimulus for discussion

Hey, when you use the search function to find polls and such, the formatting is diffrent when you click on some of the polls. It's just listed information, there's no place to comment.

My suggestion: use Thunderbird. It not only handles emails better and more safely, but it also manages RSS feeds pretty well. For example the active topics feed is a nice feature which renders most email notifications obsolete ... |

Dean,
M@x has checked out the e-mail notification issue. It's on his list of things to address, but he says it's not a straightforward fix, so it may take some time.

I'm not sure if really a change, but I think the font of the front page (including reviews, informations and all sort of tags) looks new.
I myself like it.  |

Should be easy for M@x to fix, I'll ask him to add it to his list of bugs.

Aaaagh! The Email Notification Subject line has just become 6 characters longer with the insertion of the slightly redundant word "Music " in the text - as has the "From: " field. On a 1024px width screen using Outlook it's now completely useless as the actual topic subject is hidden when Outlook limits the subject column width.
For example the subject line for notifications for this particular thread is now 100 characters long and actually truncates the ony piece of information that varies from email to email in the text:
"Progressive Rock Music Forum by Progarchives.com Topic Reply Notification : UPGRADE to the FORUM eng"
On my laptop Outlook cuts the field off at :
"Progressive Rock Music Forum by Progarchives.com Topic Reply Noti"
unless I full-screen the window - which I don't need to do for anyother emails and don't want to do just for PA emails.
Most of that is redundant - I know it's from Progressive Rock Music Forum because that's what the email is about; I know it from Progarchives.com because that's who the email is from!
what's wrong with just:
"Progarchives Topic Notification: UPGRADE to the FORUM engine"
ps: I know I'm the only person whining about this, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier to read the email subject line.

It happens to me too. The words don't seem to wrap properly and if I carry on writing as I am now, eventually the words will likely overlap... but they may not, hence why I'm waffling, to see if it does do that or not...
But it is a problem indeed. |

I'm seeing another problem that may be related to the problem I mentioned earlier. Occasionally in some threads, the writing appears to go off the normal page width. The width of the post "box" (not sure what else to call it) is much wider than it should be. Here:
http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45149 I think I saw this occur one other time, but I don't recall the thread in which I saw the problem. Does anyone else see this? I think only one or two people said they saw the problem I previously mentioned. |

won't prevent them Paolo.. man alive.. I know that .. that is very true...removing the 10 most recent post box won't prevent silly... or downright stupid topics from being created... won't prevent those who enjoy them from using the 'active topics' to find them. and will not run off those who are surfing the main page.. considering whether to join this site.. and see ..put right in their faces that some of the things being discussed here.. are ...simply silly. There is nothing nothing wrong with them. I've been known to partake in them myself hahhaha. No one is calling for the off topic sections to be removed... but is that what we want perspective members to the site to see front and center when they come here. If you want professional mature... serious members who know prog.... present a serious.. professional site to them. Let them find latter on that we all don't have sticks up our asses. You only get one chance to make a good first impresssion. |

Easy: (pun intended,
 )If you were in the middle of something, you want speed. If you have made a comment on any thread and just want to check PA very quickly to see about that particular comment, the 10 last posts appeared WITHOUT the need of extra mouse clicks....
TIME
Also, for some of us, we used to log in, not knowing where to go, and we'd see an interesting thing in the last 10 posts... and we'd dive into it...
Now... we have to waste more time with a slow-moving website that, due to the chagnes in look, is more confusing that it was...and we don't have the last 10 posts....
Also, the "newest post" option was good... It's not the same as the infamous "yellow triangle"... When you selected the "newest post first" format, it changed the format for EVERY thread you visited....
Good old times...

i agree
lol but i like the compromise I read a few pages back - if the active topics tracker returns, let's restrict it to "on-topic" forums |
