    Over in the Car and Bike lovers thread, you can see where an image should be but when you click on it, a page opens stating "page cannot be found" or something like that. Can't view any images posted by users.

    I've been trying to figure that out too.  I can view some images, so they're not totally broken, but I cannot view others.  Not sure why it's not all or nothing.

    Can you post a link to this thread so I can take a look? 

    In this thread, I can see all the images, both mine and those of others:  http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/58912/testing

    In this thread on page 28, I can see at least one image, but the others are broken: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/53147/show-us-your-bryce-renders-part-9#latest and if I click on one of them it says the page is not found.  And just in case you aren't seeing what I'm seeing, here's an attachment (haha, if that works) showing what I see:

    I'm giving this an honest shot.  I can see I'll like some of the new features, but at the same time, I really don't like how big everything is, or how posts have no visual cues seperating them from the previous.

    OTOH, I've been using PHPbb and VB styled boards for around two decades now.

    Received an email notification about a new message - the link was broken, clicked it and while I was taken to the relevant thread the forums then decided to log me out! And take me away from the thread and to the main forum page.

    ETA and my post count has just dropped from 1812 to 1768, literally just now. WT?

    Hmmm, weird.  So just to make sure NoScript wasn't somehow goofing things up, I tried viewing the same page in Internet Explorer, which is not running any kind of JavaScript blockers or anything.  It doesn't work there for me either, plus additionally IE can't see some of the user's avatars (I can see others) even though Firefox can.  Unlike Firefox, if I click on one of the broken images it doesn't give me a broken link, it just does nothing as if I hadn't clicked on it.  Since I don't normally use IE, I'm assuming it's using whatever the defaults are there.  I wonder why some of us can see the images and others can't.  Could it be a permissions thing, that you as an aministrator have that I don't?  Just out of curiosity, what browser are you using?

    I am using FireFox 35    and no it's not because I am an admin,

     

    Edited to add I just got himself to check for me as well (his is a normal member account) and he sees those images.   Again he has FF on his little PC and not the latest version of it.

    I am using Opera and can see all the images on this page and they open when clicked on. I went to another page where I still see all the images but when I clicked on this one I got the 404 Page Not Found,

    OK, another question to throw on the fire.

    How can we bookmark individual posts?  For example the 999 post Iray thread.  I want to bookmark just one post for later, not the entire thread.

    You want to bookmark in your browser?

    You click on the date of that message under the avatar - this is the direct link.

    Example: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/857728/#Comment_857728

    Thanks Kerya!

    Between that and the bookmark update I can pretty much get back to it.  :)

    Just an observation and note: please be careful when using different colors for your comment text. There are two themes currently available for the DAZ website and the forums, one that is light text on dark (the dark theme), and another that is dark text on light (the light theme). If you use the light theme, and change your text to be black, it may look fabulous to you, but other people who use the dark theme will have a hard time reading your text. And vice versa for the light text.

    Setting a background color has the same effect. If you are on a light theme, and use a light background to highlight your text, when viewed on the dark theme, it will be a glaring white box around your text. And vice versa for the dark theme.

    So please be aware that your settings are not everyone's settings, and use the default text and background color unless absolutely necessary, and be mindful of the consequences when you do.

    You folks may want to look at the Notification Prefs in the user Control Panel.  When using the Dark theme these boxes, when hovered over, turn glaring white and the text is very very light gray... so you can't really see anything and need sunglasses to look at the boxes.  I'm not kidding.  I use the newest Firefox in case you need that info. 

    Also, please fix the image pop ups, they are not popups, they are a new same linked page so users have to use the back button to get back to the forums.  Not sure why this is an issue.  I guess some folks don't allow for popups?  There are safe popups and then there are not safe ones..  an image file popup should be fine....

    Thanks

    Could we have the forum theme setting uncoupled from the store theme setting? I have to use the dark theme in the store or else I get eyestrain after a while, and I'd like to use the light theme in the forums because in the dark theme some page elements (e.g. this text entry box) are GLARINGLY EYE-SEARING WHITE against the dark background.

    Yeah.  I had to go out for a while.  When I came back, I had to restart Firefox after a Norton update that I forced.  The same thing happened to me.  Tons of bookmarks, some of which are closed threads even.  I'm hoping that fixes itself after being in here.  But will it happen every time I have to log in again?  no

    ..."broken" images is especially bad in a forum dedicated to visual art.

    I'm really concerned about challenge threads that have been running since before the changeover. One, the current RRRR Challenge, has been going since last month.

     

    Reporter: What kind of plane is it?

    Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

    same with me.. images are missing no

    @Richard Haseltine
    @DAZ_ann0314

    Please be advised that images that were posted in old threads are disappearing.
    If you examine various threads such as these for example:
    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/50130/luxuscore-carrara
    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/43528/post-your-renders-6-let-it-rip
    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/27826/official-release-of-carrara-8-5-update-8-5-1-19
    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/57498/the-missed-it-by-that-much-to-get-a-bacon-steak-sandwich-complaint-thread

    You will find that posted images will only appear on the first two or three thread-pages of posts. After that, all of the image links are broken until the last two or three pages of the thread.

    Not only that, but when you click on one of the few images that are still visible, to see the larger version, that link is also broken. (Although the newly posted image attachments with the tiny thumbnail do enlarge when clicked on).

    This is clearly a disaster if not fixed.

    Edit: @DAZ_Benjam,   I think this is the same thing that sriesch is talking about.

    A friend asked about some things that adblocker is blocking.  she wants to know which ones she must allow here in order to post and send private messages.

    adroll.com
    newrelic.com
    mediaforge.com
    google-analytics.com
    googleadservice.com
    and googleapis.com

    By the way, that's an awful lot of things going on here.  Why? 

    Anyway, which ones are preventing her from being able to post and send private messages?

    Dana

    I block 'em all. I do not specifically allow any of those things with ad-block. I have not had any trouble logging in (well, except for the signing-in loop but that happens only sporadically). The only thing I have whitelisted is www.daz3d.com itself. 

    You're right, that's a lot of things going on. That's why I use ad-block. ;)

    ...all of these recent changes have been causing me to rapidly lose interest in this pursuit.

    The AoA cameras and lights, which were my go to utilities before Iray have been crippled since ver. 4.7 due to changes to the shader mixer (most likely to accommodate the then forthcoming Iray).

    I also still believe that the timing of the release of 4.7 shortly before the release of Reality4 had a major hand in the plugin's stability issues.

    3DL has pretty much been pushed to the "back of the bus" for Iray.

    G3F is useless without throwing buckets of money at it as it has the least amount of compatibility yet with older generation content, including Genesis and G2..

    Now the forums have been messed up by Megento (which according to many developers I know is the worst website software in existence).

    This was once a fun place to be and a fun pursiut to be involved in. We are not high paid pros using 3DS Max, Daz3D is not Turbosquid, yet is seems this is the direction things are heading. 

    I agree with a lot of this. I've just started, as in last week, releasing the pages of a webcomic based on DAZ. I have 1 issue done, 1 in progress, 1 in script form ,another in outlin form. All in all, 2 years worth of material... and I have seriously thought about just throwing in the towel because of some of these frustrations. I have moved to Iray, and it was painful but I've got it figured out finally. Now this with the forums.

    And for people making jokes about how some of us are just 'change is bad' people. No. It is not that. All change is not bad. But BAD changes are bad. This forum design is utterly repellent to me, and I will never like it. As someone said above, it wastes tons of space. It spreads useful information all over the screen that used to be compactly visible. It has converted the forums into something like a blog rather than a forum. And it flies in the face of established forum software practices used just about everywhere else (bbcode, etc). I should not have to learn a whole new style of forum browsing and software just to use the DAZ forums. It is not clear that DAZ itself is worth that kind of mental investment, when every other forum I read uses standard bbcode and standard formatting.

    This reeks of 'design over function' priorities.... They made it look slick without regard to whether they were impacting functionality.

    You might say, 'It is just forums,' and that would be true for some of the other sites I frequent which are all about just kvetching about comics or things like that. But the #1 reason I came HERE was to get help with DAZ Studio. And DAZ just made it that much harder (and that much more unpleasant and frustrating) to get help. I haven't actually needed any help since they changed the forum fortunately... but I definitely feel like my ability to easily access useful information is being hampered by this very frilly, flowery, dysfuncional design.

    Not that anything's going to change just because a couple of us don't like it. Heck even if 99% of us didn't like it.

    Just been looking at some pictures in Art Studio. On the old forum, when I clicked on a small picture I would then get the full size one, now nothing happens. How do I get to see the full size version of pictures people have posted?

    I liked how that worked  before, it would pop-up in a different window. now it just opens for me in my current window, and when I page back . . it takes me to the last post, rather then the post I had clicked the image from.

    What I have been doing, so I don't have to page back any more, is just right click and open in a new Tab (guess one could open in new window too)

    I had something similar happen, but what I didn't noticed, I seemed to had been logged out, it was a weird thing, sometimes I stay logged, sometimes I need to log in

    I can't find ANY way to look at people's art they've posted on the new forum. Left click does nothing. Right click gives the usual options of "save picture as/print picture...and so on"

    Just clicking normally on the thumnail should bring up the full size image.  It works for me.

    yes same for me, they work, I just do the extra  steps as mentioned .. . .  wonder if it's a browser thing  ?

    (1) I'd like the ability to wipe out my notifications and possibly my bookmarks so I can start over.

    (2) PLEASE don't allow the current page number to be a clickable link. PLEASE.It's very confusing if you're reading backwards or several of the links have already been visited.

    Please stop redirecting me. I'm sure you think it's a convenience but it's counterproductive. I"m so angry right now I could spit. For the umpteenth time I've been redirected to a place I didn't intend to be. And since I have no way of knowing WHICH PAGE I'M ON I can't get back there.

    A couple of examples....

    I was reading a thread and clicked on a link. When I hit the back button it took me to a page other than the one I was on. Because I didn't know where I was and didn't know where I came from I was lost and it took me clicking several times on numbers that were all red and scrolling through entire pages before I finally found the page I had been on previously. The same thing happened when I clicked on an image and got a 'page not found' so I hit the back button and I never did find the page with that image again. That sucks.

    And if I click on a thread I've already visited do not assume I want to go to the end page, let me click on the last number myself.

    I thought that problem of going to the last post was fixed.  It never happened to me anyway.  I get sent to the last post I read previously, approximately.

    For the links, I would right-click and open in new tab or new window.  That way, when you're done with it you can close it and go back to the tab/window you were previously browsing and you won't lose your place.
