Waves Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 So is everyone just going to ignore that there's a new site in place? It's not just me right? Are there any new features we should be aware of? Are signatures and the ability to see who else is viewing a particular subforum/topic gone?

Signatures seem to be gone unfortunately. Are there particular subforms / topics which you notice are missing / inaccessible? Please bring this to our attention.

I was just commenting on how we can't see who else is currently viewing a certain topic anymore, but I guess that isn't important anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I think signatures were wiped the function for them is still there under the profile I thought - I will have to check on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to be. Although everything on this site should be taken with a grain of salt, signatures are still kind of a good indicator as to how reliable a user is, at least to me.

rmorelan Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 ha well if they are gone I will look at what is involved in putting them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amichel Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Personally I think the mobile layout is not good. very spaced out and have to scroll a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleDaisy Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Personally, I was so scared that the forum was hacked lol! Been here since premed, time flies by fast! Glad that it is back with the new layout! I think that signature gives some credibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1629fan Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Would it be within the realm of possibility to add "flairs" similar to what "R3ddit" users experience? Something like signatures, where Premed101 users can have the option to include current school, year, and degree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGrisham Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 What are we, Facebook? grumble grumble about changes...grumble grumble. I personally felt the minimalism of the old interface to be great The mobile version is clunkier now. I'm sure most will get used to it though.

bearded frog Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 IMHO there's too much whitespace and more scrolling needed, harder to see content, but I'll live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerroger Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I miss the second version of the forum. The one that ran from the mid to late 2000's. It was the best IMHO. We gotta get the signatures back. It provides context. Even better have a rank system like SDN. Med students, residents and staff are deferentiated by a "badge" indicating status placed under your username. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 apparently it is a module that can be added if I am reading this correctly. I don't think they are done updating everything yet as the chat (the entire point of the upgrade) is still down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFlare500 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 The weirdest thing about the new forum is that I can see/edit other people's signatures in their profiles, but I can't see my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 if you edit them - does it actually appear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 This version does seem to be relatively obsessed with "likes" and reputation points. Taking pointers from other social media I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 hmm you are right - i can see the signature of others and edit them. I cannot however see my own. Next question is whether an other moderator can edit my signature but I cannot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be a matter of trust then ha! I am going to have to get someone to change mine and return the favour until we straighten this out.
