Loving the new ClearOS Website and ClearOS Then & Now Video

Looks good so far - one issue, when logging in from the Forum using the Tools menu I'm presented with "no valid authorisation system in use"

Doesn't seem to appear when I login via the main page?

Also Brian linked a now and then video above - which doesn't appear to display?

EDIT: Also noticed if I click Logout - it redirects back to https://www-devel.clearos.com/ not https://clearos.com

I also experience the "no valid authorisation system in use" message. Dave explained that the reason is that the login system is offline.

but i can login and post messages...

I am getting the same problem

Nick

Some Users are getting a Timezone Error when they login as well. I do too on my other account, but this account i created seems to be working fine

I had that problem too earlier today but now it seems to be ok. On the other Hand some Users reported they were getting a Timezone Error on login, which i also got on my other accoujnt which was imported from the other site.

Are you guys able to get in and post messages now? Is the error still popping for you?

Here's the video (will see if this works..)

ClearOS Then and Now

I had the same problem earlier today but it seems to be ok now. On the other hand though... some users reported having a timezone error upon login. Anyone else getting this? I get it too on my other account which was imported from the other site, but on this account i created over the new page it works fine.

When login i don't get this error anymore "no valid authorisation system in use". James confirmed that it's fixed.

When I logout I'll get redirected to https://www-devel.clearos.com. Bug?

I can't edit a post when I click save nothings happens.

The video Brian Night posted is working for me.

@Marcel - login error message has been fixed, redirect to "devel" on logout will be fixed soon.

Still fine tuning a few things like that. Good catch. Keep them coming.

@Shaun - can you tell me your username on your old account so I can ensure it's activated on the backend? May have been de-activated during a migration for some reason.

I also saw the sub domain www-newdevel.clearos.com once...

Marcel, those are the things we're finding.. all "devel" "newdevel" etc references.

I also replicated your edit > save bug, and we've added that to the fix list. Keep em' coming slugger.

btw good video. In my opinion it's a good explanation of ClearOS.

ps We should start a fan site for actor Dave.

My old account has the username Tokolosh which is the same name i use on clearcenter

How do you jump to the last post in a thread, for example this one? Clicking on New, View Last Reply and the thread title all take you to the same link which shows only the first few posts. You then have to click on Load More Replies multiple times to get to the end of the thread. Ditto clicking on "View Replies" in the thread.

You can only do view last reply on the thread you want to access. When you accessed the thread you can only do "load more replies" or select latest...

That makes it pretty hostile when trying to get to the end of a multi-page thread

Nick, latest reply is working fine for me. I'm not sure but have you seen the "latest reply" link when browsing all threads? That link jumps to the latest reply.

hmmm, I see your problem Nick this thread now contains more pages and then it's not jumping to the latest post. Weird.., I hope this is a bug and not the way this forum works.

with "latest reply" I meant "view last post". I tried to edit the post but due a bug this is not yet possible.

Yes, I could not see you "latest reply". Thy going to the last reply in the ClearOS 7 thread!

Also there is no indication here of when there is a new post to a thread You have to look at the last post time and hope you remembered when you last looked.

It would also be nice to see the last poster - perhaps more important/useful than the thread originator.

Blast. Can't correct my typo. Thy -> Try.

..... but I see you've managed to get to the end of that thread and post.

Nick, what I do is go to community forums and then select latest on the top right corner. Now you can see the latest posts.

Also you are automatically subscribed to a thread. You can disable this via the first post of the thread. The envelop on the right.

OK, but on the old site there was an unread post count on every thread which was reset every time you logged off and every time you read the thread. It made it much easier to see new posts. That is quite a common feature on other forums I visit.

Nick, will get that concern fixed. Thank you for the feedback, agree with you.

Thanks Michael. Logging on this morning I did not even new the New flags!

"I agree with Nick"

The one time ive tried to use it, on IOS, its really slooooooooow.
Trying to get through multiple page posts by keep pressing 'load more replies' is tedious.
I couldnt seem to edit the post I made, despite enteing the captcha, it didnt Save.
Think carefully about too many captchas.

It's now 12.04 pm (local time) and the site and forums are much faster. Is it just me or is something changed?

When you have a thread with a few pages the link "view last reply" is not jumping to the latest post. Can this be fixed?

Nick mentioned this.., not sure if this is clear...

Hi Nick, under the original post there is a box on the right hand side - you can change sort order to 'latest' so that top entries are the most recent replies. Does that help?

Couple of other minor observations :-

- font size in quote boxes are LARGE (https://clearos.com/clearfoundation/social/community/clearos-7-update#reply-63240)
- in mobile view the avatar profile column takes up 80% of the screen width, limiting the page view (http://mobiletest.me/htc_one_emulator/#u=https://clearos.com/clearfoundation/social/community)
- page load times seem sluggish (10secs+), chrome page audits suggest we could optimise and combine multiple CSS (40No.) / Javascript (33No.) to improve caching. The main cause seems to be various javascripts being loaded?

@Tim, Thanks I had not noticed the sort box. It helps a bit, but then you are replying at the bottom of the page to a post at the top which makes referencing the post a PITA. I suppose I could quote then delete the quote.

So far I am finding the forum very frustrating. Not being able to go directly to the first unread post (which is not necessarily the last post) or selecting pages directly, the NEW post indicator is unreliable, often not showing when further posts have been made. I seem to get logged off when the PC goes to sleep (not sure if it is sometimes or always). As you say, page load times are very slow so paging through posts is bad. Not being able to see who the last poster is is also a little frustrating as it could have been me. Having said that I knew you were the last poster here because it showed your photo, so I may have to stick up my own mug shot at last! I've never come across this type of forum before and initial impressions aren't brilliant

.... and to add icing to the cake and absolutely no fault of the ClearOS team, at work, because it is new and uncategorised by work's content filter I am blocked from viewing clearos.com and there is no business case I can present to work to make the site an exception!

Hello, nice new site!
I'm looking on this site/forum the last view days, but the page loading time is very long.
It takes 5 to 9 seconds to load a single page.
I'm living in The Netherlands i have test it with 3 different connections.
With my gigabit fiber connection.
With a 200 Mbit cable connection.
With my mobile phone Vodafone 4g+ 25> Mbit

Guys, Great suggestions and feedback. You should see many of these issues and bugs addressed over the coming days. Please plan to re-test and provide a new round of feedback in about 72 hours. Thanks again!

When you logout it seems to still try to redirect to www-newdevel.clearfoundation.com. The other things i see have been mentioned already

There also appears to be no way to mark all forums/threads/whatever as 'read' - all the posts that have been pulled across show up as 'new' - and I'd rather not plow my way through everything to 'clear out' those I've already read or not interested in!
