Well Done NickFitz

That's 'cos you went with the agile approach of release first, test second. Actually, using your users as testers instead of having a test team is more the MS approach. But it's certainly the modern way

Good work though seriously.

There's over 160 Selenium tests alone, though it's tricky to test everything without setting up and tearing down huge database each time; it takes fifteen minutes or so to load a DB dump on the servers I'm using for development

Cheers, but it doesn't seem to be finished yet judging by the bug report thread

At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I'd be happier of the default upon clicking a thread title was to go to the final page rather than the first, or at least have a button for that.

Also, as I mentioned in the bug/suggestions thread, I think the summary list of one's posts should be fixed length with a page index (as it was before I think), rather than detestable dynamic page extensions. But maybe in that GUI respect I am hopelessly old fashioned.

I'll be adding back the cut-down pagination that used to appear on thread lists and made it easy to get to the last page, assuming it doesn't turn out to be a massive performance hit.

Which page do you mean by "summary list of one's posts"? The "Activity" tab on the profile page?

I'm also in favour of paging rather than dynamically loading more content on the same page (or loading more via JavaScript and replacing what's already on the page, which was how paging through threads worked before I put a stop to it). Unfortunately, it seems the vBulletin developers have incorporated every UX design trend they've encountered over the past ten years, then failed to remove any of them when the rest of the world realised they were terrible ideas. You should have seen what replying to a thread was like before I ripped all their stuff out and replaced it with the current implementation…

Meh, it's just a flesh wound.

( And, indeed, thanks! )

Yeh, good stuff Fizzy Knickers. Apart from the threads opening at the first post it all looks good to me. I'm having enough trouble trying to do a page to identify grasses for my sister, hate to think what it's like working on summit as complex as CUK.

The first unread and last post links should be working now

Well done NF.
Please hassle admin to get the app live.

[Andy2]

I recommend a heft 10% bonus for NF

[NickFitz]

Despite all my ungrateful complaints, I agree that many thanks are due to NF for all the work done on the new forum.

I'll buy you a beer or six at the next CUK do!

All complaints welcome - otherwise I won't know what to fix!

All beers also welcome

Well Done NickFitz for the hard work on the forum upgrade. Let's all clap for Nick and bang the saucepans at 7pm on Wednesday. We can also hear if there are CUK users nearby.

Nah but a bit of rep lovin is in order!
