New forum engine

[Gass]

:)

This link / this one

- are empty for me as I don't officially subscribe to any.
(was wondering about - why, when threads and or posts I've made or answered in, aren't automatically listed here in the links? via - Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply / option in profile page)

Not quite what you mean, but this shows all the latest messages across all threads: https://forum.adguard.com/index.php?find-new/70374/posts

- I'd like to be able to subscribe to this and be notified about all new messages across all threads - without doing it per an individual threads basis, then maybe given a check mark system in it, to omit some from time to time and then re-check them as when I want to receive notifications of them again.

Maybe we will implement some of the proposed features later. Right now we are very busy with some release and other tasks, but when we have some more time, I will reread all the requests from this thread to select most interesting onces.

- I totally understand, it's nice to get answered right away but, (heck with me you can stretch it out to 1 or 2 weeks) if you need to.
I'm not going anywhere or feel more important to command your attention - not the case at all - I just think to much.

#2 an option in the new forums engine to list posts made of our followed thread (we're personally following) to be in a chronological order starting on page one and then the higher page numbers would be going back in time so to say.

- You know I've been racking my brain to remember just where this setting was in the old AG forums. Was it possibly in the thread tools link give atop of every thread of the old AG forums?

When you have more time to reread all the requests from this thread, will you offer a poll to see how other members feel toward the interesting ones you've chosen and possibly the order which you'll implement them.

I do hope that - a chronological order starting on page 1 of a thread and then the higher page numbers (2,3,4) would be going back in time of earlier posts that have been made in a thread. This is the only suggestion I really care about that I've made here.
( EX: this here is the last reply/post made of the thread BUT, it's found in page #5 / my suggestion would reverse this and it would be on page #1 - till more replies/posts would bump it to higher numbered pages).

Thank You,
Gass

No, you have to actively subscribe to a thread/forum - here: http://screencast.com/t/ZCqVOxPzH

I'd like to be able to subscribe to this and be notified about all new messages across all threads - without doing it per an individual threads basis

Unfortunately, you have to manually subscribe to all threads if you'd liek to receive email notifications about all messages across all threads. The closest to what you want is the link you commented on - just the feed of most recent messages.

Wow I don't remember, honestly.

Possibly. Some of those requests are actually self-made (I mean, we posted them ourselves), and we'd like to have them implemented at some point anyway. For other shooting a poll sounds liek a good idea.

Login button broken on iOS or only for me?

 

[vasily_bagirov]

@vincent-michael I've tested it on iPhone 5, but saw no such bug. What device do you have?

 

[vincent-michael]

iPhone 6s Plus @vasily_bagirov

 

[vasily_bagirov]

iPhone 6s Plus

Hm we were able to reproduce it, but only on Nexus 5. Does this bug depend on which browser you use?

Thanks. We will see what can be done here, hopefully within 1-2 days.

I seem to remember a setting somewhere, were it was possible to show latest made post first of a subscribed Thread, I remembering having it set this way, as anything new that was added would be (on top) and the first thing I saw when I revisited it. This was a really cool feature.
It made the thread easy assessable to new current content. Instead of going to a higher number page to see the latest posted content addition.

- You know I've been racking my brain to remember just where this setting was in the old AG forums. Was it possibly in the thread tools link give atop of every thread of the old AG forums?).

I do hope that - a chronological order starting on page 1 of a thread and then the higher page numbers (2,3,4) would be going back in time of earlier posts that have been made in a thread. This is the only suggestion I really care about that I've made here.

I don't remember, honestly.

I think the above is still here on the forums (see images) but not globally distributed to individual threads titles that we start or follow but, to something as "levels of categories. 1st level is 'English forums' " , from one of the images shows. I see this offered of just to threads in a category but not as I've tried to describe.

Once we start a thread or follow a thread we should have the option to show posts of that threads title in a descending order from the newest to the oldest or latest posted to that of the first posted-OP, so when in a categories of threads topics and then choose a threads title and it opens and we follow it this would be an option given to us. Either from that threads title or in our profiles home setting and applied to like I said started or followed threads titles.

this above to be offered as an option - found in next image, thread tools

or a setting found in that of our profiles "Preferences"

Thanks, Gass

@vasily_bagirov and
@avatar ,

I see a couple problems with the Forum where a New Member joined Yesterday and has posted way to many messages so far in the English Off-Topic Thread of over 13 - 1/2 pages in less than 48 hours. How could this be anything but Spam and it's also in an Asian looking texts which is not readable to most anyone of a natural English speaking upbringing, so spam on two counts.

Then the link mentioning spam-bots seems out dated as how a member should report such things when witnessed !
https://forum.adguard.com/index.php?threads/report-forum-spam-bots.585/

New Members (all members really) should only post in the appropriate language of whichever forum their posting in English=English, Russian=Russian. To be of any value to the communities members here and in any replies they would be seeking to their posts.
MAYBE IT'S ADVISABLE TO HAVE A LIMIT ON DAILY POSTS COUNT for new members to safeguard from SPAM, like 5 daily till they reach the sum of 20 posts - just my suggestion...

Note: I see someone here of the Admin is on it as I've sent PM's to top members here and it's down to 7 - 1/2 pages now. This shouldn't be allowed to happen and in such a short time as it has.

UPDATE:
This is happening again today (12-11-2016) by a new member joined today it says...
In the "Discussion (Adguard for Windows)" thread and I've reported by the "REPORT" button!
There are only 4 or 5 posts right now.
Is Adguard Forums under attack from hostile for some reason?
The avatar used yesterday as the same today of a female generic image (maybe supplied by Adguard Forums).
Google translate says the language is "Maori - Detected" but unable to put it in an English texts.
EX: 아찔한밤): + http://plbo2.com >구글에서[플보]검색하세요 아찔한밤
Then Google Rendered it as - 구글ì— ìâ">ì⠀ ¢ â € â € ° žÃ¬Â AA € ¢ A "Ã"  ° å¤): + http://plbo2.com> êÂμ¬ê¸â,¬Ã¬â € "ì⠀ za "[AA € aLERT" ³Â']
[This is just a small example of the original texts, with it being much longer.]

This really doesn't help the Adguard Forum Members to be readable and then comprehended.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Māori_language
According to a 2001 survey on the health of the Māori language, the number of very fluent adult speakers was about 9% of the Māori population, or 30,000 adults. A national census undertaken in 2006 says that about 4% of the New Zealand population, or 23.7% of the Māori population, could hold a conversation in Māori about everyday things.


Thank you,

Removed all the spam. Usually Mods and Admins have a Spam button, but for that mass-poster it was not shown After someone banned him already. Had to manually delete all the threads.


Currently there is a new anti-spam model in the work, sadly it caused a false positive once with new members and using PM.

An active spammer event is pretty annoying now. Back on the old board when there was a spammer doing a lot of posts, I could use the Spam-O-Matic feature which would a) remove all posts by the spammer and b) ban the user. Sadly on the new board, mods can't ban spam bots anymore - we can only remove their posts manually one-by-one and report the spam bots to the admins, so one of them can ban the spammer.

@Boo Berry There is a spam button which bans the user and removes his post. Only IP ban is not possible via Mod.

No, I don't agree with this.
We are were all new users on forums in the past, and I wouldn't want such a limit put on myself, so I surely can't support such a limit onto others also.
This is just my two cents....

WHAT get REAL ! ! !
Man how would you like to be the one to manually have to delete 13-1/2 pages of all these SPAM posts - really - do think about what you say ! ! ! and then be helpful with your words.
Everyone has a right to their own opinions, as you can see in my posting it, this was to only the two members here that I had addressed at it's beginning.

I hadn't said all or other members in it but, gave an @ to the two parties I had wanted to advise and notify.
I had not expected anyone else to answer or even care for that matter to answer for I was only sounding the alarm something was afoul.

I was only trying to offer help as I can understand to do, and what other forums use as I've been witness too. Moderating over the new members by the Admin's. and Mod's. of their posts till they are trusted or in the limiting of their posting till a certain count is reached is understandable.
You can see by my post there was the mention of 13-1/2 pages / not a post counts of 13-1/2 but in pages...

Still in all how many posts should it be - or what other kind of system is to be used then - I've been here for almost two years and find I don't even make @ 5 posts on a daily average.
Just cause someone is granted a forum membership they shouldn't have free run right off the bat.

I don't say things like this normally but your words were not being helpful to the given situation...
It was just another means I used to get the word to someone who could put a stop to what was happening to the Adguard Forums at that time. I didn't open it for a discussion and it was meant for the two ruling members I had addressed it too.

This has been Edited for a proper rebuttal and to make peace

Thank you.

Gents,
Some kind of an alert system other than a PM maybe would be helpful for all members to use.
This was the only thing I could think of doing as well as to alert the current Admin/Mod on board at the time.
So in having to be the bringer of such bad news to them.

Thank you Sirs,
Gass

You should have a report button next to the post.

Good Job and to much extra work for you - I feel your pain dear Blaz .
13-1/2 pages worth was what it was at when I noticed it, if I hadn't seen them and reported it, it could of reach 100's of pages maybe and then to spread across different Threads possibly.
I enjoy the Adguard Forums and try to be as helpful to any member when I can be of what little experience I have.
Maybe new members should be on a merit system till the Adguard Forums can see their true selves, watch and ok their posts/threads for a time. I don't know but the founders and top members can put their heads together and work something out - surly
Once again GOOD JOB Blaz
Your the man !

Thanks,
Gass

 

[Gass]

You should have a report button next to the post.

I used that too, the first time on just mentioning that post and then a second time of how much and many I was seeing - I think is what I said - I just didn't know how soon and responsive it would be to someone at the other end is why I used the PM's to members and posted in this topic as well.
I'd be the first to say I don't understand a lot of under the surface of how things work...
Is the report button like a church bell in a village to where many get word of trouble? No don't answer that I don't want bad people to know - thanks anyway.
Thanks, Gass

I don't say things like this normally so your special- - -
Keep your 2 cents like this to yourself and don't troll posts without something helpful to say or useful advise to give, and maybe it's better off in spending your 2 cents on something to educate yourself on self control or brain food for the next time you feel compelled to voice up, and then that voice not being helpful to the given situation... Thank you.

Look here Gass. Just cuz you like writing 10 pages worth of posts when a one sentence statement will suffice. What gives you the right to do that? Wasting other peoples time to read essays to get a single point, if any.
Perhaps you should take my 2c and use that for your brain food and learn how to get to the point without excessive babbling and crap.
Don't ever question my right, as I treat others how I'd like to be treated, until of course you start saying the crap you just did.

Besides, its just a forum.
You really need to have a like outside your computer and forums.
You just need to relax and live and let live.
