So the new Planet-Tolkien.com has finally launched! All be it no thanks to my cold and other endless hurdles, however when looking around you should see many features requested in the Old Planet-Tolkien.com as well as some new ones. The website is also now far more interactive and will become even more so over the next couple of weeks. A year later and even I am going to say that I think we have a nice little new home here which will hopefully bring more happiness to some few

Please use this topic to post bugs, queries and comments about the new website but not too many please as I could do with a rest now

Everything looks so new and crisp just like a winter morning in Hobbiton.

However, I keep getting logged out when I change sections.

Well its working now.Thanks, Taz.
Happy New Year all!!!

Yes this is a known bug and I am going to attempt to fix it tomorrow fix thing!

Bleh.... I just typed a whole story about how wonderfull the new site looks and that I hadn't found any bugs other than the fact that I could not select "Wizard" as a race and as soon as I select "save post" i'm logged out....

Cheers (again)
Gandy

Sorry about this, I will fix it first thing tomorrow, promise.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I love the new site Great job! The only thing that I haven't found by now is how to see other users profiles. But anyway, everything works fine for me

It's on my To Do List!


Yes, members can now change their password from within Edit Profile.

I have replied to your PM about this and will fix it on recieving the email discussed.

The 'latest posts' on the homepage aren't getting updated.

Ah, ok. Are we going to have those indispensable little icons next to the thread titles to show that they have new posts? They're essential if you ask me. Also, I think it would be more helpful if threads were ordered by the time of their last post, rather than the time of their creation.

I will put it down on my To-Do list and look into it.

Another thing (I'll stop after this one, promise), A lot of threads are one page longer than they need to be, i.e. their last page contains no posts. I fact I have seen one thread so far (I forgot which one) that had about 15 superfluous pages. This sometimes happened on the old PT as well. Can it be rectified?

Wheel of Tolkien has 143 pages of posts, but the list of pages goes up to 167. This may only happen for me, but it's nonetheless annoying having to mess about just to find the end of a thread.

Aha! Thank-You I have fixed that bug now

This bug should be fixed now Stonehelm, sorry about that but I have been trying to fix the session expiring on some people who seem to keep on getting logged out.

First of all, the new site looks great! You did an excellent job Taz, and I personally thank you for all of your hard work!

I’ve been kinda purposely staying away the last few days waiting for all of the bugs to be fixed, but here are a few things I’ve noticed, I keep getting logged out when I change from forum to forum on the message boards. As Peredhil mentioned, I also have noticed that there are at least a few threads containing all kinds of extra pages that have nothing on them (Wheel of Tolkien in the Ivy Bush, and The Party Tree in the Prancing Pony are good examples).

I’ve also noticed that in the two threads I just mentioned specifically, there are pages missing from the original threads. It looks like the last one or two pages for The Party Tree got cut somehow when the new site went live, and the transfer was made. The same thing has happened with the Wheel of Tolkien thread. Also I noticed in the ROTK movie forum, there was a thread called ’Of the three’ started by Anilorak that seems to have been deleted or lost somehow. I hope we can get that one back.

Another thing is that the signature feature doesn’t seem to be functional yet. I created a new signature yesterday in my profile, and it isn’t appearing on my posts. Anyway, I’m sure in about a month from now all of the bugs will be fixed, and PT will be better than ever!

Thanks again for all your hard work Taz, we appreciate it, and I’ll be sure to post any other little problems I come across(uhh, is there a way we can preview our posts like on the old site?).

Topic categories now list sub-topics by their last post, this way you will be able to see the most currently active threads at the top of it's category list including the Last Post date.

Taz, those nice little icons we had at the old boards showing if a new post was made since the last log-in, is it possible we can have a similar thing here too?? those were REALLY helpful and timesaving... (not having to open threads with nothing new since last time in them!)

other than that, love the new look!! (exept the wheather in Osgiliath, any chance of some sun soon??? )

another thing: 1 post??? lol, i feel like a newbie!! :P (not that it matters, just found it funny)

Hello Anilorak! Thanks for checking in and take care of yourself.

The answer to this can be found by clicking here.

I have found that the forums are much harder to read these days.

You cannot tell when a post was posted anymore, so I don't if a post is 1 day old or 1 year old. It also seems that it is harder to read with all of the other "new" info on each and every post. Couldn't we move race and city under the avatar instead of under the post, making each page longer?

Just two little things that I noticed right off the bat.

bain

Now you can, top right of post.

Cheers Taz. It's getting better all the time...

Tarrent, I want to become a sponcer, but I don't know how much $ to send or were to send it. Do you know?
