New forum: Bugs reporting list!

[camoguysg]

Im still getting the "continue to site" on my Samsung browser regardless whether i on or off the ad blocker. I have to wait for at least 10s each time before the page will load. Any solution yet to this?

And of course the easy access to smileys of the old forum... this one I had to click the 3 dots... then click the smiley icon, then scroll to look for the 1 smiley I want to use... whereas the old one iirc it was always there at the side at least those that you always use. I am not saying the new forum no good or anything.. but there are the simple things that I missed... as you can see... I think lesser smileys are used, if you had noticed it.

Suggestion by @BlackWing1977 : For admins to see if UI/UX can be rearranged to put emoticons more prominently on the main edit bar or other places as it is an often used feature by users

dark mode load slower than normal light mode is it?

As long as programmer do direct editing to the forum to make changes, the hosting server will be slowed. This is basic server management knowledge.

I personally have no problems with ads as long as they are not intrusive.

The problem I have with the new forums is that the ads take too long to load, and when they load, the rest of the page shifts down. So if I wanna click on a link at the same time the ad loads, I end up clicking the wrong link and entering the wrong thread.

Was wondering if this could be fixed? E.g. maybe implement a fixed height placeholder while waiting for the actual ad to load? If not I will have to resort to an ad blocker...

Takes around 8 to 10secs to load from a blank page to full page. Using windows desktop.

1. search engine is missing a lot of indexes aka can't search a lot of posts
2. please restore the old youtube tag as backward compatibility for old threads using them

Have a look at ABP and ublock origin posts...

new forum seems to use more computing resources
on my pentium g3240 can feel loading and scroll abit laggy

on my i7-11700 feels buttery smooth

Serially too many damn ads. Two same ads in one page some more

 

[Dr.Vijay]

When loading page, can fix the image width (especially the ads)?

Damn irritating to see the page jumping. Always click on wrong links.

While we're still in discussions with stakeholders regarding ads, we tried fixing the ad container size but this affected both desktop and mobile pages

I understand it's not ideal, but do give us more time to hopefully sort things out.

Not sure if reported. If click on safari (iphone) back button twice... will return white blank page

 

[mgx-alander]

some ppl signature too long, scroll until hand pain, signature longer than the actual post

 

[IndianChief]

Not got big black space at the top on chrome mobile

 

[beano]

Seems like many ppl like to use mobile to browse HWZ? I think its time to fast track the app development..

 

[kaemi123]

Search for forums also not fixed yet? Or is it no results for threads prior to migration?

ads just keep to top or bottom lah
dont randomly place in the middle lah
banner size will do
