Any problems with the move to forum.brickset.com?

Working correctly for me on Chrome.

On Windows it’s fine but for me on iOS and Android, nope.  :(.

The biggest issue I've had is that I was recently Googling something and one of the results was a Brickset forum post, but because the address was on the old forums it only took me to the main forum page. The on-site search worked, thankfully.

Discussions now working on Chrome Android.  Probably something different I've done.  My fault.

Will check iOS when I'm home.

iOS is now good too.  [i’m so drunk.  Dad’s birthday]

Well, I'm sober and it seems to be working on Chrome for me now too. So either I got drunk, changed something, and don't remember, or it was user error of some sorts.

Thanks and sorry Huw!

Yeah, it would have been nice if the old links would redirect correctly instead of to the main page...

^ Agreed - following a link from here on the forum, to another part of the forum, doesn't work (or didn't the last time I tried it). Obviously, as we go forwards this won't be a massive issue, but during this recently moved position it's not very helpful.

Yea, I just ran into this again when clicking a link on Google pointing to the Brickset forum which now redirects to the main page :/

@Huw, on the discussions view is there now anyway to hide some categories. for example, previously I had the "Shopping US" category hidden and therefore any threads wouldn't show up in my discussions view. Now all the threads in this category appear.

^ Yes, https://forum.brickset.com/discussion/28402/changes-to-the-way-you-hide-categories#latest

I don't know if they were there before but I get some glitches with the “leave a comment” editing box. Most notably with the @ member function, but saved comments or drafts regularly give me problems with editing. Does anyone else experience word processing issues using an iPad?

I also use an iPad most of the time, but the only issues I’ve been able to blame on it are auto-correct stuff. 
I have noticed recently that the hashtag script seems to occasionally fail even in “uncomplicated” situations when there are no adjacent characters. Maybe the @ member name script is having similar glitches.

I actually turned off all the auto-correct stuff in my settings after I posted that, and a few of the issues have actually now cleared up, not sure if every problem has gone but certainly it's helped, especially where forum names are concerned.

I have had drafts reappear in my drafts folder after I've posted the comment and I've also had strange messages about not being allowed to do certain actions because of not having "garden access" or something like that, I had to copy and paste my text into a new message before it would allow me to "post comment". That may be an apple based issue though.

There is one other gotcha about posting that isn’t new. The Post Comment button will sometimes be disabled even though you have text in the box. I have found that this happens when it is saving your text. If you wait a few seconds (sometimes longer) you will see the Draft Saved popup, and the Post Comment button will then be enabled.

@Huw my Inbox has been wiped clean of all messages that I had sent and received. I know they were there in early April.

If I click on Categories I get this odd little orange square next to the posts, with no information on if I have read the threads or not.  I don't know enough to know what that square is called.  With the old forum I went back to the Categories page that showed new posts to the threads I had read.  Now I have to click the back button instead, or click on the link you provide at the top of the page if I forget and click the Categories either at the bottom or on the side top.  It is the same on my phone, iPad, and computer.  What is that square, and what do I need to do to make it work?

No issues for me using Firefox

Orange = new thread; yellow = thread that you've visited before and has new posts.
