Planned software upgrade - Feedback

[Marko :)]

@Jack Is it possible to turn off scrolling sidebar? I remember that there used to be an option in profile settings, now it's gone...

Liking the new look and feel! Thanks

Remember that the new software upgrade means the updated theme is still in BETA, so expect stranger things while elements get moved around etc.

Thank you for all the feedback so far!

With the new design, I now have to actually click on the bell icon too see any notifications I have, which is annoying.

Personally, I like the new look, I often apply the concept of resilience, the power of adapting to change and transform uncertainties into opportunities, and risks in the possibility of growth. Where sustainability aims to keep the world in balance, resilience helps to find solutions in a world that is often unbalanced
BTW a forum like MT can be considered like an extension of our life.

Just my opinion

Notifications/alerts themself does work automatic but it's from who and where that should be easier to check. It should be possible to implement again with the mouse pointer hoover and automatic popup feature on those icons. I belive @Jack will fix it as soon he's got the time.

The new Tab notification/alert feature should IMO be possible for members to toggle off or on as the " Bell " icon notification in the top right corner works fine on every page.

Spoiler

In the " Currently Online " status sidebar window banned members shouldn't be viewble. Atleast not for normal members IMO.

One more thing. The automatic Save drafts in the editor is much better now.

Not for me. I need to click on the notification icon to see my alerts. Even hovering my mouse pointer over it does nothing.

Have you checked your " Alert preferences "? Click on the Bell icon then a bit down on the popup window where it says " Preferences ". Scroll down and check if " Receive an alert when someone… " is enabled.

 

[roger_m]

Have you checked your " Alert preferences "?

Yes and everything is checked.

same problem like @roger_m ...i must click to open the alerts...that's not so comfortable

 

[L0ckJaw]

Also same problem here, need to click to see alerts.

Would be great if Security related threads (like as Malware HUB ones, Malware Alerts,...) could get a red badge as previous?
Don't know whether it's related to the Midnight Design, however, all badges are blue and therefore hard to distinguish.
I know, I might be to picky

@Spawn is working on the new Label, so it's a work in progress.

I don't understand the issue, so when you receive an alert, the Bell in the header should get a red badge with a number ("1" in this case), then you click on the Bell and the alert shows in a sub-menu. Wasn't always like this?

Looking forward to!

It's great to see this place evolve so fast!

In the previous version, if you hover above the Bell the alerts became visible. To click is no problem for me.

I didn't know that. Thanks. I've always clicked on the Bell
I'll see what can be done to bring that back.

As a separate note I've increased the max-width of the theme to 1330px, so it should be more space. And also we've moved the Most Posts (last 30 days) box, under the quick reply box.

PS. @frogboy & @Evjl's Rain are just 2 posts away.. I'm waiting to see if @Evjl's Rain will take the lead. : P

I'm not getting any alerts,until I manually click on the Bell icon. Until I click on the bell, no alerts are shown.

So you don't see this type of alert - red box with number - when you have a new notification??

No, not since the update.

Sounds like a challenge to me.
