September 4, 2008: Guess Not!

Today is 9/4/08. I assume it's not going to happen today, right? ;)

Can we some updates on this development (another tentative date, availability of FT during relaunch transit...etc)?

TIA.

We just posted an announcement ... we'll be down pretty much all night tonight. The chat will be available for those who cannot find anything worth watching on TV :)

Couldn't wait until after the conventions? The tv is pretty slim pickings for another night or so!! ;) ... Thanks for the update. Look forward to seeing the new FT tomorrow.

First thing I noticed on the new FT is that the thread list in a forum no longer shows when a thread started :( That's a big minus as you can't tell what is new. :td::td::td:

Can we get it back please!

Seconded - I know one of the goals of the upgrade was to "de-clutter" FT, but the thread start date was important in helping one scan what was new that day as opposed to an old thread brought back to life. I already miss it a lot...

The ongoing shambles continues. :td:

I agree.

The top line of links has disappeared. (Where you used to find, "Forums", "Members", etc. with dropdown links to the FT Store & the blogs.) Will those be coming back?

The "Public Profile" pages have also changed. It seems to track visitors to your page & allows visitors to post messages. Any other new "features"?

the bar is there, it just doesn't have the links embedded anymore (it also had a "home" option)

What's with the bookmark links below the posts? if the desire was to de-clutter, I figure you'd remove not add things.

New friends features... we did have a friends list, but it was kind of limited.

Where do you post announcements? Is there an announcement of the new features?

CHIC SILBER Sep 5, 2008 9:34 am

Another emphatic vote of support for this. One of my biggest frustrations is clicking on a year-old thread that someone decided to resurrect for no clear reason.

The announcement was on top of every forum, where the usual place for all announcement. However, it was up less than 3 hours before the actual upgrade/relaunch happened at 8:00 pm CDT yesterday. It only specified how long the site would be down and didn't tell you anything about what features had been upgraded or improved.

Now all morning long, eager FTers have been hunting down what useful features have been imprremoved. :rolleyes:

In the name of improvement, why would we remove useful field/s or features, such as the thread start date? Please put it back!


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 9:58 pm.
