[Trooper117]

I can't remember how many times I've clicked on this site, forgetting of course it was under maintenance!

Yes, we're back - it has been a loooong time!

Good, but on the other hand, I personally don't like the new layout of the forum. To me it's not
as handy as it was before.

Cheerio

Ditto!

[Trooper117]

I have a feeling you will just have to get used to it

No one likes to change anything that has become familiar... it's normal.

[dburne]

Woot woot it's back!

 

[LLv34_Untamo]

Well, I don't like the new look. It's a bit... anemic. Can we have the old one back? Keep the new "like" button though.

[CanadaOne]

Give it a few days and it will just merge into your being and it will be as if it was always there.

[Lensman]

Please revert the now circular forum images to the correct format.

Oh thank god, I was losing my mind!   I actually started spending time with my...family

[Bombzey]

Good to see you back

Hola Jason, Su diseño es más de estilo actual y minimalista. ¡Me gusta! Pero creo que Lensman, el avatar, está de moda en muchos foros o redes sociales, pero la moda de ser redonda debe diseñarse para redes sociales donde la imagen es una cara de la persona. En este foro, el formato cuadrado será más apropiado para el tipo de avatar utilizado aquí. Es solo una opinión personal.

I imagine that they will be retouching things that now functional not quite correct, like my Nick, who is now cut in two lines.

S!

I dunno, my happy guy looks good in a circle.

Now I get an idea how hard it must be for a smoker to quit smoking...

Has nothing to do with the postings or organization.

I hope at some point the stickies can be cleaned up. This particular subforum has especially become cluttered with stickied posts.

[BlitzPig_EL]

I thought this format looked familiar.  It's done by the same company, Invision, that World of Warships also uses.

Where is the Go to Unread Message option? I cannot find it.

Yes that would certainly be nice.

[Freycinet]

In general I like the new forum format but I wish it could be a bit more condensed, graphics-wise. Is there a setting for that? - Awful lot of white space around the texts of postings...

Why was there red high heels when the forum was down for maintenance?  Does someone have a fetish for them?

It is just a thing they do, as far as I can remember they have had that up when forum was down for maintenance.

I thought it meant something along the lines of "Her high heels are off so there must be some action going on behind the scenes."

Since the forum update I cannot connect to the forums any more using my other ISP.

I'm experiencing the very same problem at the moment.

 

Since the update of the forum has been finalized yesterday, I can't properly connect to it (and neither to the IL-2 home- and storepages) via my internet provider (ISP is Unitymedia, Germany).

 

Right now I'm connected through the mobile data on my smart phone (ISP is Telekom, Germany), which works just fine. But if I'm connected to my w-lan, the pages just won't load, no matter which mobile device I'm using (tried laptop, tablet and smart phone).

 

It seems like it has got something to do with the settings of my modem, since I was able to load the pages properly while using the w-lan of a friend yesterday evening. Thing is that I'm using mostly standard settings on my modem, which shouldn't restrict access to the forums (it worked flawlessly before the update, afterall).

 

I'm trying to figure out how to solve this problem later on, still it would be nice to know what exactly was changed, so we can take the proper counter measures. Don't wanna miss my proper IL-2 experience ?

 

I hope that Jason and his team might have an idea or a solution to this. After all, they always do.

 

EDIT:

Two more things:

1. Yes, only the IL-2 pages cause me that trouble, so it most likely has got something to do with the update.

2. For some odd reason reaching the forums via my w-lan actually worked for a brief moment (about two minutes, no settings on my modem changed) back yesterday evening, but then the pages refused to load again. It seems to be a rather strange issue all around...

Additional information added

[[DBS]El_Marta]

Yep, unitymedia it is. Apparently it has something to do with their DNS server. When i put in the ip of a 1&1 DNS server I can connect to the il2sturmovik site.

My ISP is VirginMedia. I can no longer connect via broadband, except by mobile data connection. My PC is tethered to my mobile just to write this message.

Well, where has "My Content" gone?

Click on "profile" under your name tag on the top right corner - it comes up automatically.

[6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann]

Well, it shows my Personal Posts amazingly well, but it isn't very informative concerning showing me wether Topics in which I have posted have been actively posted on by other users, maybe even replying to me. 

 

"My Content" was a good feature and now it's gone practically making the Forum an unorganized Mess for me to browse through because I don't have a quick way to find the Topics I am interested in and posting on. 

[unreasonable]

You could try clicking on the "Follow this topic" box just above the "Reply" button. Not sure if that will do what you want.

 

FWIW I preferred the old format too - but it is a matter of adjust or die.  

 

But I agree: the more I look at it  the more I find the new format busy and confusing - looks like something made for and by teenagers. I do not think I will be here very much now.

[6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann]

Aaaah, I found it: 

>Activity

    >My Activity Streams

        >Content I posted in

 

Well, it was difficult to find and is highly counterintuitive to find, but this New Layout is New so it must  be better, just for whom though?

[Fritz_X]

The problem I posted earlier today seems to have been solved, either by Jason and his crew or my internet provider. Both the forum and the store pages are accessable via broadband connection again.

 

Thanks for the quick fix!

Forum works for me too now.

[=gRiJ=Roman-]

For me too. By the way, I finally found the GO TO THE NEXT UNREAD POST. It's on the circles and stars on the left of the message title. 

[scrapmetal]

All fixed for me, too.

[-=PHX=-SuperEtendard]

Clicking the circle/star to go to unread posts worked in the old forum as well, I used that so I didn't notice any change lol
