Welcome to the new look Ducati Forum

Discussion in 'Forum News' started by Rob, Mar 16, 2014.

  1. So it looks a bit different - yep!

    We've moved from vBulletin 4 to Xenforo for the forum. Basically for a few reasons, mainly because it was no longer supported and their new version was not very good at all.

    This forum has a lot more features, is easier to use, works better on mobile and is a lot quicker.

    There will be a few things missing until I get round to activating them - if you notice anything please use this thread to highlight it.

    I'll post some things here that you might find useful.

    • Firstly, uploading pictures is much easier. You can drag a picture into the text editor and it will automatically upload. Give it a go :)
    • Hover over a post and you'll notice a lot more options to like and rate posts. They appear at the bottom right of each post.
    • Private messages are now called conversations. They are easier to read, especially when they get long.
    • Check out the Gallery from the tabs at the top of the forum. It's really powerful. You can upload unlimited pictures, categorise things, tag people etc.
    • Want to get a members attention? You can tag them, like this: @El Toro - It will notify the member that you've tagged them in a thread. Just type the @ symbol and start typing the user name. It will automatically find the user as you type.

  10. +1 on the tapatalk


    If it ain't broke don't fix it :)
     
  11. I got one for ya Rob. Email notifications: you get an email notification, you click on the link, but it doesn't take you to the post, or even to the thread, it just takes you to the home page from where you have to search out the thread and post in question. This is starting to annoy me already, and I've only had one...

  12. What happens to all my points -sob- back to newbie!!
     
  13. It's very slow for me and a bit fiddly on the tablet. I prefer using the whole site view rather than tapatalk so it's a bit of a pain?
     
  14. The email notifications look much better!

  15. Well it aint faster in South Africa. This used to be the fastest forum I used, now it is by far the slowest, over 5 mins to load a page, WTF? Slower even than Ducati.MS and that is saying something. It is going to be unusable for me unless this is just a glitch this morning.

    Bront
     
  16. I see the anti-South African filter is working well ;)
