Storiesspace.com 2.0, Coming Soon!

Here's another. The links in tweets no longer work. Do I have to make new tweets or is that being attended to?

EDIT: Yep, broken. They likely need to put some kind of redirect in place so that links created before the upgrade will work. I have never dealt with this myself, but I have heard of other forum sites that switched hosting or software running into it. But, yes, you can fix it yourself by editing the posts. I am not going to bother with my old tweets but will fix some links I have posted on other forums.

We can try and map the old like over I think. We will take a look ASAP.

Another little glitch I have just noticed. I have just uploaded a story. After putting it in the box, the only option was to submit it. Usually it lets you look at it and make changes, edit. I can’t see a save draft button. It may just be me being thick. 

And another... Uploading YouTube clips and pictures to the forums? The camera icon seems to be connected only to profile pics and there is no YouTube upload so only a link appears. 😲

Question: Stories now have both the 5 star rating and a Like button. Does the Like button take the place of favorite stories and if so, are we able to get a list of stories we have liked? (Which would address one of the concerns raised up thread)

I don't mind change at all. It will take time to review the changes. So far it appears I have lost badges. Still checking everything else.

Yep. I mentioned this a couple times already. One of my main concerns about the site. Weirdly, though, the videos are embedded in the posts that had them pre-upgrade so the software clearly supports video embedding, it's just a problem in the editor.

I like everything. There are a couple of teething problems, yes, but give it time. It’s a great FREE site and it’s still here. Thank you so much x

For the sake of privacy, should it be shut to members until it's fully ready?

By the way, it looks like cover images need to be in Public. I moved all my images but my avatar to Private and now my stories only show cover images if I am logged in.

One feature I especially like is the ability to Like forum posts. ❤

Oh for sure. It's something I have on almost every other forum I am on that I haven't had here.

I think there is some confusion about private albums showing publicly, I have checked around and they all seem to be private.

PS. I had pictures that were hidden simply because they were only on the site for use as story covers, weren't meant to be visible on my profile, and all were Public after conversion. I just wasn't too fussed about it because there was nothing terribly private, just had them hidden for convenience.

Also, your quoting system needs work. I had a hell of a time editing out parts of your post that I didn't want to include in my quote. And it should only include the new content in a post in the quote, not any previous content they have quoted. No other forum software I have used other than old StoriesSpace included quotes in quoted content.

Yay, at least we can easily multiquote now. Chalk that up as a plus.

No, the problem is that all pictures were put into Public in the conversion, even ones that people had hidden on the old site. So pictures that people did not mean to be public, became public. And the only way to fix it is to move them one at a time since there doesn't seem to be a way to move pictures between albums in bulk.

Quote by Baronvonmonty

I don't think that is the case, I have just looked at around 20 profiles and most of them have private albums that I can't access. You will be able to see all of your own private pictures publicly but that is because it is your account so it could be that. But if any users think they have a fault we can check the settings from the database that we imported to double check there is not a bug affecting selective accounts. 

Found another thing that irks me.    No longer getting stories in my inbox here of authors that I follow. ... 😠

We copied the old functionality for ease of use, you see this is the problem if we had changed it people might not like it. And if we keep it the same people wan't it changed? It's unfortunately a no win situation. Like all this stuff it's a new site so give it a bit of time and if you don't like it let us know and we can stick it on the wish list and discuss it in the office. 

And since I am trying to highlight positives, too:

The New Posts page is nice. Love it.

The My Posts page is also nice but has a bug, I think. If I click View Post on a post in it, it takes me to the beginning of the thread, not to the actual post. Which is problematic given that some of the threads I post in regularly are several hundred posts long.
