Your New Site

General (non-technical) Off-Topic

Sorry, but so far your new site has brought me nothing but frustration and I’m at least an hour into looking for an answer for a bug and so far have only been getting more irritated with what I’ve run into on the new site.

  1. Simply cannot find a forum search anywhere…and I used to use this a LOT.
  2. Can’t find how to get to daily builds. Found a great link that is listed as Daily Build info…that links to a blank template page.
  3. In all my manual searching and digging looking for answers I need another one answered desperately. You USED to have an option to Upgrade from Indie to Pro license. I no longer see that option anywhere…or even as a pull-down option on the order form. I’m assuming you didn’t kill the option to upgrade. So, how is it done now?

If I’m just a blind idiot…please anyone feel free to point me in the right direction to any of the above answers.

Thanks,

Ok, I finally stumbled across the “daily builds” so I’ve got that one solved at least. But more I tried to find a way to upgrade my license from indie to pro the more it looks like you can no longer do that.

Where’s the “share your code” section gone to…? [import]uid: 150930 topic_id: 27590 reply_id: 112142[/import]

Code exchange - under Community: http://developer.anscamobile.com/code/
Same as the old url but not too obvious now.

I’m also finding the site very frustrating and difficult to read on an iPhone 4S - it used to be very few clicks to find the active and new forum posts. Now it’s about 4 clicks and you have to zoom the page - something double tapping doesn’t help with because the text is tiny (thank you retina display) and fills the screen width, so zooming doesn’t do anything.

I like the new site, looks more professional than the old one.

But I really want a search function in the forum, if there is one now i cant find it anywhere. The search function is my best helper when programming and i used to use it on a daily basis. [import]uid: 126729 topic_id: 27590 reply_id: 112212[/import]

I see your second point you solved, the others I believe were answered in another thread but as I don’t have a link to hand (and for future reference) -

  1. We know. You can search here; http://developer.anscamobile.com/search/ I know that is by no means ideal and this is something we hope to address very soon. (I am frustrated by this as well, I use search a lot.)

  2. We never had the option on the website, I believe this is because the price depends on the user. (How long they’ve had the sub they are upgrading from.) You can still do this as always by contacting support using this form; http://developer.anscamobile.com/forms/support

PS - Horacebury I’m reading your email right now, thanks for that. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 27590 reply_id: 112289[/import]

I’m agree that the new site looks more professional, but I`m not able to find in the forum the section “View Recent Posts”. For me was very useful. Could anybody help me? Thanks in advance! [import]uid: 12618 topic_id: 27590 reply_id: 112291[/import]

#8

Oh yes - Recent activity was so good…

Three tabs would be nice in a mobile (phone) readable format: New, Active, Unanswered

Knowing where the search was is a biiiiiiiiiiiiiig help thanks.

And yes, all the other questions I had either have been answered or at least I’m waiting on a reply…but at least I’ve been pointed in the right direction.

Thanks a ton,

I believe that the URLs for the site are still basically the same (for SEO reasons) as all my bookmarked links still work.

Of course, if you hadn’t book marked the search page like me… [import]uid: 8271 topic_id: 27590 reply_id: 112307[/import]

#11

I also miss “track” (I think that’s what it was called) under my account where I can see all topics that I was involved in. It was really helpful in finding a specific thread very quickly.

Hey again,

I know - the recent activity/new threads sections up top were great and I hope we can get them restored. They were very useful for stopping by the forum and easily seeing new threads without checking each sub forum.

RE “track”, I still see it, however it has moved to the bottom of the page from the top. Can you please check and see if it is there but simply in a new position? (Possibly by using ctrl+f for “track”?)

Please let me know!

Hi everybody:

In this URL you can view the recents posts in the Forum.:

http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/recent

It works for me today.

I was SO used to the old site that I can’t get my head around all the changes.
But hey, You are looking at the guy, who still uses Win XP just because Windows 7’s taskbar looked different :smiley: Hee Hee!

Anyway, in the previous version, If I just brought the mouse pointer over the COMMUNITY button at the top without clicking, it used to show the options (Forum,Code Exchange, Etc.).
Any change that could be brought back?
Not a big issue, but going back and forth links would become a hell of a lot easier!
@Peach Nice profile pic BTW! Haven’t visited the forums for some time now; so just noticing! :slight_smile: [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 27590 reply_id: 112480[/import]

Hey, Peach, I don’t know which screen I should be looking at when I search for “track”. User screen doesn’t have “track” anywhere…

Also, I don’t see “Edit” link on a topic I created in the past. So, even if I want to mark a topic as “Resolved”, I don’t think I could. (Not that I need to mark something resolved at the moment.) Could it be that new topic we create on new site would have “Edit” but not the ones that we created on the old site?

Edit: BTW, I’m using Chrome. (And, to clarify, I can edit my reply posts, but none of the topics I started.)

@Alex - that is awesome. I didn’t have that link! Thanks :slight_smile:

@Satheesh - I know. I don’t like this either and have mentioned it. I hope it is something we can remedy in the not too distant future as well. Thanks RE pic :slight_smile:

@Naomi - You’re right. I just checked on another non-staff account. Track is missing. For threads/edit, good question… OK. I think you’re right. I just logged into my old peachpellen (non-staff) account and checked a thread created on old site, cannot be edited. D’oh. Will bring both of these things up in next meeting.

Thanks, Peach, for following up. Appreciate it.

OK!

I just posted a comment in a post and got the message

Your comment has been queued for moderation by site administrators and will be published after approval

WOAH! WTH??? [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 27590 reply_id: 112702[/import]

@Naomi - No worries, hopefully we can get all these things addressed in a timely manner.

@Satheesh - That was special, your last post in thread wasn’t visible and looked like had been (automatically) flagged as spam… Troubling. If you see that happen again let me know via FB/Twitter/Email and will see if we can do something about it, though am hoping it isn’t a regular thing.

The Studio Directory no longer displays the company name… and they are not listed in Alphabetical order.

I started with Corona years ago and for some reason my company (Swipe Studios) always shows up as the last link in Canada. Curious.

Thanks in advance… [import]uid: 64343 topic_id: 27590 reply_id: 112771[/import]
