sjoens Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) 1. Make BIGGER or bolder "Start new topic" and "Reply to this post" text on the orange button. - Maybe all the forum text could be bigger as it's hard to see on a laptop. 2. Add a floating arrow button to expedite returning to the top of the page. 3. Add "Contributed to" to the SORT BY list so threads I contributed to move to the top of the list.

Pathfinder Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) So to stay signed in (as in avoiding signing in every time) I must keep the asst running? That not real good. Cannot see threads unless I sign in-except for LAST post.. Type and layout really leaves much to be desired. OK so I know it's free. Does this mean I should settle? Well Ok I guess. Just won't come here unless it is paramount. Sad, in the CW forum we good browse, read threads, learn, etc. Edited December 23, 2018 by Pathfinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are just using it not running it. The bandlab account login have a very small resemblence off the assistant login, but it is not the assistant. If you are using the assistant you are doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I did select login with bandlab account . But it does not stick. Guess I am doing something wrong but I do not see what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Not sure if it is a question or a request... When old forum will be locked from making new posts, what will happen with "user participated" links? For example, if I want to access threads that I participated in old forum, I can access them now by a single link.. Link would look something like this: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Profile/123456789 Will this type of "Profile" link remain active when old forum will be locked? If "search post by member" will be gone on old forum, I would like to request to make "my posts" access from old forum available on this. Let me explain. I asked some questions which had pretty complex and interesting answers, which I revisit at times. Sort of my "personalized" manual. So one thing is to search among dozen of my own posts vs thousands... I hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) The old forums will be "frozen" in time (archived) and all links within them should still work.... but you won't be able to log on to it or access your account through it, so it's not likely you will be able to access your personal posts in one place like you can now. Find them now and save them as a "Webpage, complete (*htm, *html)" on your computer. This is easy with IE but not so much with Chrome, etc. Edited December 24, 2018 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathfinder Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I forgot to mention. I just realized I do NOT have to sign back in anymore. Not sure what changed or what I did. But thats OK.

John Vere Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 4. Add an indicator that shows I posted in a thread, like the old forum did. For me all threads I reply to have a star instead of a dot. • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blades Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Looking at the forum on mobile, which is generally fine, I am missing where (or if) the button is to go to the last read post in a thread. Like, I looked through 73 posts in a thread yesterday. I want to start at post 74 today. Am I just missing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blades Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 So - nevermind my last request on this. Just click the dot to the left of the topic and it will go to the "last read post" in the thread. This is in both desktop and mobile. It says that when you hover over it on desktop, which of course you can't hover on mobile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
