Thanks, i tried bumping a 2+ year old thread in Lounge and didn't work @WildWing
I think a warning box is much better.

Thanks, i tried bumping a 2+ year old thread in Lounge and didn't work @WildWing
I think a warning box is much better.
I’m still getting kicked off the app consistently.
The one you bumped yesterday's last post was December 2018, so I guess it wasn't old enough to trigger the threshold.
Getting the same error if I try to necrobump an old enough thread. (My experiment was Surgeon's hands which seems to be the oldest thread I can find in pre-MD just to see if it worked. There's a few from Jan 1999 in pre-DO, but I can't find any of the truly "oldest" SDN threads anymore)
Yeah the bumping error still persists. Additionally, military banners remain hardly visible in Basic Mode. Page numbers remain condensed (i.e. Page 1 of 9 in this thread) and only appears in bottom of this thread. No Save Draft button in mobile for Basic Mode. Also hoping for a dark mode version of Basic Mode.
Just wanted to check again, but does this issue still persist for prevet forums?
Heads up, I was getting Error 527 Railgun Error and Error 524 Timeout messages.
1. Weird - I never got notification that you replied.
2. Your screenshots weren't what you initially described here. In other words, this:
describes something different than:
Can't conflate the "Unread Watched Thread" link (which doesn't work in this version of the forum software), with the properly working "Watched Threads" list. If you hover over the "eye" icon in the former, you'll see that it says, "Forum watched," which explains why it's simply dumping all unread threads in a watched forum instead of what we want: unread watched threads regardless of whether we are watching the forum or not.
Forum owners will simply have to place pressure on developers to re-introduce this ability. Or buy that paid add-on or do their own custom work.
It sucks, I agree, and I'm seeing the same thing you're seeing: just a list of unread threads in watched forum Pre-Vet.
Yes. I have abandoned the unread, watched list and am back to the watched thread list and just dealing with the fact that the bolding is so hard to read. Clearly I am not enough of an influencer to change anything lol
But I'm watching the lounge forum and none of those are on the list at all, not even the threads I watch.

Switch to basic mode!
Also the changes suggested didn't happen yet either so we're kinda stuck 🙁
I do WAY to much on my phone in the dark and my retinas will BUUUURRRRRNNNNN
The SDN mobile app still works in term of separating watched threads and watched forum, at least on iOS. It also has a night/dark mode. I don't have Android, but worth a try.
Any update on if we're going to get page numbers or at least a next page/previous page button at the top of the thread?
I'm on mobile (not the stupid SDN app) using basic style.....there's no page number or a next/previous page button.

Hence why i'm really hoping for a Night Mode version of Basic Mode. Basic is the only style for me that makes things a lot more readable 🙁
I don't have access to the code, so I don't know how the database query is done behind the scenes. Point is, we're not going to see expected behavior since the feature was removed. I speculate that the database query simply returns a bunch of posts from the first watched forum up to the 2 page limit or something. Either way, it's an exercise in insanity to try to figure out something that is known to be broken. The "Unread Watched Threads" is a misnomer so probably shouldn't be used. No idea if there's a suitable workaround at this point. I personally just use the "Watched Forums" list and click on each forum to see what's new at the top. Or if there's a WW game, for instance, then bookmark that thread in the browser until the game is over.
Workaround: There's browser add-ons/extensions that force Dark Mode. Might try one of those with the SDN Basic style.
+1
Yeah i have an automatic one in my mobile browser but ideally would be nice to have a dark basic mode template added in cases where i don’t want an extension
You're an Ambassador. Can't you just make one? 😛

On the bump issue: This may be a settings error. I will look into it.
Doing some more fixes on the “X Year” badges.
Maybe add a + to the number
I'm unable to do reliable searching -- getting a lot of "No results" when I know the keywords in the threads and thread titles exist. Wonder if a re-index of the database is necessary post-upgrade?
I had this same issue getting the broke my pubic bone thread (had to scroll through pages of the lounge to get to it because search claimed no results)
Small bump
Also 2+ year member badge isn't there. Save button is missing in mobile browser. Not sure if @StayingPositive2017 still has problems with unread watched threads. Search button should be added for SDN default and dark modes on mobile browsing.
Sorry for being repetitive but still having a lot of issues 🙁
I'd still like to see how many messages are still unread beside the next page button at the bottom of a thread like we had before. Is that possible?
Got the 2 year banners fixed for active users. The batch process took a long time to run, so I just updated active users to start.
@WildWing I’m still getting kicked off the mobile app on iPhone. It’s my primary way to use sdn (in between cases etc) to answer questions and mentor etc, so this is really sad... i get the login screen but can’t log in. Then I “go back” and seem to be okay but then get the same kick out back to login.
I realized I hadn’t seen any threads of certain types in my feed for a while, so I manually went to those forums and now it seems the threads don’t show up for me at all since the forum upgrade.
Like “general residency issues”. I even tried “watching” it to see if that would trigger something but nada.

Now I see it’s because it was inadvertently left off the topics list I selected when trying to make my “new posts feed”, so apparently that means you can’t even see the forum threads manually if you don’t check it off there. And if I forget one, and try to just check that to add it, it deletes all my other selections in that list. So then inevitably I forget to select a different one when trying to add general residency issues. Can we pleaseseeeeeee:
1. Get an ignore forum option
2. Get an ignore thread option
3. Get page numbers at the top as well
4. Get a down arrow to go to the bottom of the page like the up arrow
Please please please
I am seeing notification/watched thread issues in the mobile app, but not in the mobile views on browser. Has anyone else seen this issue? What is your OS and browser?

Please try deleting the app and re-downloading it.
The original thread is about the 15th result (probably because it is old), but I was able to find it using "broke my pubic bone" as the search term:
Search results for query: broke my pubic bone
forums.studentdoctor.net
Are you not seeing search results from that link?
Banners have been updated to be "2+ Year Member", etc.
Save button is now available in mobile browsers.
I see it in your link and when I reran my original query that had zero results now there are results. So you guys fixed something I guess. I promise I ran it the same as before when I got el zilcho.The original thread is about the 15th result (probably because it is old), but I was able to find it using "broke my pubic bone" as the search term:

There was a change to how the "bump old threads" function works so that it prevents rather than warns. We've increased the threshold so it shouldn't catch as often.
I pulled the "Unread Watched Threads" option because it did not seem to work properly. I will look into what options are available to resolve the issue.
User information - registration date, number of posts, number of reactions - has been added to Basic view. I have captured an item to update SDN/SDN Dark to make having this rolled out a preference setting (i.e., once you roll it out, it rolls out for everyone and stays that way).

Awesome. We're almost back to my preferred view. Just need to make the background baby blue.
Outstanding Request List
I have gone back through the list of comments and developed the attached list of requested changes. Anywhere I have been able to make a change from the system interface, I have tried to do that. Are there any other items that I have missed?

- Add page numbers to top of mobile pages in Basic
- Add down arrow to go to the bottom of the page in mobile Basic
- Add Ignore Forum and Ignore Thread options
- Add number of messages still unread beside Next Page button
- Add Search icon to header for SDN/SDN Dark/Basic mobile view to allow access to full search options
- Provide “Unread watched threads” option (removed in XF2)
- Display user information without rollout (potentially make option) in SDN/SDN Dark
- Provide ability to collapse forums in Basic theme.
- Increase avatar size on desktop in SDN/SDN Dark
There used to be a way to view gender of the account when you clicked their name (if enabled by the account). I am not able to find how to do that (I am using basic theme).
And if possible, add a dark mode version for Basic style
Thanks for your help! Much appreciated
the search thread vs forum vs everywhere function has disappeared from basic style as of today. Can we get this back please?
nevermind, seems to be back. Not sure what happened
I believe there was also a request to make unread threads more distinguishable from read threads in SDN Dark mode since the bold was too subtle but I'm not sure if that got addressed already.
Same. I've seen an improvement (back to normal) in search results. Maybe the software runs a db re-index every x hours/days/whatever, but searching definitely was wonky the day or so after the upgrade.

Can we add more to your plate? (sorry 🙂 )
Totally just a wish and personal preference, but the "go to top of page" and "go to bottom of page" buttons are side-by-side:
It takes an extra bit of thought (an extra 1/8 of a second, gasp!) to understand which one means top vs. bottom via looking at the arrows. My thought is these would be more second-nature and intuitive if they were one on top of the other.
So something like this in my humble opinion would be better:

Btw there isn't a down arrow to go bottom of the page in desktop Basic
