Report all issues related to the recent upgrade here

I already spoke to @Jeric about this, but I am putting it here for record's sake. Seems like there is an issue with member titles. They can be changed on the Admin side, BUT the change is not reflected on the forum side. Could be related to forum theme.

Perhaps it is related to the messed up rank configuration. Raising content count doesn't update these ranks/titles either.

User ranks aren't updated accordingly to content count.

Some new users are still blank flanks (ranks, not to be confused with member groups - there users are promoted correctly) despite having around 40 posts.

 

The configuration of ranks appears to be blank. All ranks exist on the list, but lack values and such.

According to this site here, I should be a Changeling by now: https://mlpforums.com/faq/site-problems/user-and-staff-ranks-r116/

I'm not bothered by it or anything, just wanted to confirm what you said. Something that changed is when I hover over profile pictures, and when the small window appears, it says 1.3k posts now instead of a full, accurate number, same with brohooves. Maybe it has to do with that? To see the accurate numbers, I have to go to the profiles now. It's probably on purpose, but it switches to 1.3k even before reaching the 1,300 posts. And it doesn't show anymore which site other members are currently looking at. Now we have to basically do detours to view all the informations that were easy to see before.

Although status replies still work, they still require a refresh in order to send properly

Another "problem" I've been having since the update is that my profile banner randomly disappears.

May not technically be an issue as it may not even be possible but theres still no dark theme or anything similar.

I just went on to "Edit Profile" and I don't see the "Member Title" option anywhere.

Unfortunately that can only be changed by admins.

Huh. I remember that I was able to change my member title when I reached the Elements of Harmony rank.

I believe that was the case in an old version of the forums. Sadly that was removed sometime back by IPB; not sure why.

About Me-page also doesn't let upload things.

Until we fix the “You are only allowed to upload 0 files” issue, attaching photos can be done via pasting the photo’s link from an outside phot sharing site such as Postimages or imgur.

From what I can see from @Catpone Cerberus post above, that 0 files image was uploaded from that post? If that is the case, it is slightly better to use one's Testing Forum to upload the images needed for other places such as Status Updates or About Me by the means of copying the uploaded link and pasting it into your posts. This will be compatible with the forum once the issue has been solved as well. All attachments pasted are being tracked in My Attachments. You know your uploads, how they are displayed, and you know exactly where they are being used.

 

Spoiler

Links to outside images has multiple disadvantages. One being, once posted, will not use the recent image in case it has been edited at a later time. You might have updated the image to fix something in it, or the service provider might change how the image is being used (like adding watermarks), and the forum will do anything it can to use the image that was used at the time of posting, but can't guarantee anything. You might see the image while others might not.

Yes, I used window's screenshot tool to take the picture and the just directly copied it to the post, that worked fine, and it automatically went into my attachments.

Just curious - it's been a month now, why are these issues not fixed yet? Surely you'd think in a month's time they would be resolved. 

A lot of these issues are unfortunately not a straightforward fix. There were a number of changes made by IP.B that removed functionality we previously used, such as with Status Updates. There is also a need to rework plugins so that they play nice with our custom theme and site layout.

Most of all, we currently have a very limited number of tech ponies who can only devote so much time towards trying to resolve these tasks.

Is "multi-quote" broken or am I doing something wrong?

Possibly doing something wrong, because it appears to be working for me. Could you provide more details?

I just checked and it turns out I was looking at the wrong part of my screen when I thought I should make my post.  I'm sorry.

No worries, that happens.

It seems like DM notifications are broken. Sometimes they work, other times they don't. It's supposed to send a pop-up notification "New DM from (name)" and it previews the message. That was how it worked before the upgrade. Now, it's easy to miss the notification.

Looks like at least two different new members during this week have said in Status Updates that they can't save their Profile information. These are/were new members with 0 post count at the time.

 

I saved one of the Status Update links here:

That is an issue that is unrelated to the update six months ago. It should be resolved as of tonight. 
 

And with that. Until the next update I am calling this topic done.
