I'm sorry, but I am hating this new site layout. The white hurts my eyes and I can't seem to find anything now whereas before I knew where everything was.
Wait, wait..? How do you access the "old" site?I was mostly talking about layout and functionality. Bloody Disgusting changed it so much that users protested so much, they brough back an "original" version, and now have 2 messageboards. The old one gets used way more than the new one.I don't think the dark theme will mean the layout will change, just that the background will be dark and the text will be light colored. I honestly don't like the CAG 3.0 layout (thus far) so a return to the old layout would be welcomed.I'm another one of those people who hates change and will be looking foreward to the dark version. Just please don't make it as horrible as bloody disgusting did.
It looks like all subscriptions from pre 3.0 need to have the setting reset. I went into Content I Follow, clicked on Toggle Edit Options and the clicked the checkbox on all the threads I wanted notification for and then scrolled to the bottom and in the drop down menu select the notification option I wanted and selected update. You can do it on a singular thread level as well by clicking on Change and doing a similar selection and set my Change Notifications to Immediate so they show up in my notifications box.Also wanted to add that for whatever reason I'm only getting notifications for THIS thread, despite having everything checked. None of my other threads are notifying me, which kinda defeats the purpose
Click on the "'page x of x" button to manually goto any page.No last page option, no manual enter in a page number to goto feature, no visual bar/divider between pinned and not pinned threads. And regardless on what part of the thread title you click on (text field, new posts dot, or right arrow) your lead into either first post or mid page inconsistantly, never last newest post.
Edit: also would be great to have a "goto bottom of page" link button at top of thread page as well.

Are you referring to this page (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=viewNewContent&search_app=forums)? Just make sure you have "Forums", "Content I Have Not Read", and "Just Items I Follow" selected on the sidebar on the left. It's basically the same thing as the UserCP page from before.I'm still trying to figure out how to do this on the regular site. (Ok. last page is the tiny little mark after the numbers - but still can't find the subbed thread link which was my bread and butter on the old CAG).I'm probably missing something obvious here, but how do I...
go to the last page of a thread on the mobile site
Look at my subscribed threads on the mobile site?
Also, there appears to be a ton of spam posts - way more than on the old CAG. I assume something is missing that used to block much of that. I had a ton of reported posts in my email this afternoon and the different format of those is what led me to realize CAG 3.0 was live!
Hmmm - OK, I don't get that stuff along the side when I just go straight to the forums though - only via your link. I did notice there is a "content I follow" link from the pulldown menu (with your username on it). I suppose that is the same thing though I'm not sure that posting automatically subscribes you like it used to (for example when I select that I don't see this thread in the list).Are you referring to this page (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=viewNewContent&search_app=forums)?

To get the auto subscribe on reply you have to set the checkbox for "Auto follow topics I reply to" under Notification Settings.Hmmm - OK, I don't get that stuff along the side when I just go straight to the forums though - only via your link.

It will all take some getting use to I suppose...
That'll come in quite handy.Here is a user guide for the forums - You can find this link at the bottom of every page under "Help"
Sorry CheapyD my post was in reference to mobile Safari ios version. I left that notice out in error from cut and paste from another thread.Click on the "'page x of x" button to manually goto any page.No last page option, no manual enter in a page number to goto feature, no visual bar/divider between pinned and not pinned threads.

Click the < or > to go to the first or last page.
Clicking on the dot to the left of the thread will take you to the first new post. Clicking on the time will take you to latest post.
Hey thanks Cheapy! So looks like we can change our usernames now, that's kind of cool.Here is a user guide for the forums - You can find this link at the bottom of every page under "Help"
Give it time, all features will be coming including feedback, game database, etc.The Feedback section is gone? What will happen to trading now? The page is so confusing now. I prefer the old page, its much easier to navigate imo.
Amen, I refreshed the page and winced. I seriously considered not visiting the site as much, it was so blindingly white. Making a white theme for a site is a great concept on paper, but honestly, the way monitors work, you'd just staring at a bright white light for hours at a time and that's no good for the retinas.Came to find this, was not disappointed. Thank goodness.a dark version of the style using similar colours to the old CAG will be available, once all the main site features are converted and online.
Thanks. I guess, no trading until thenGive it time, all features will be coming including feedback, game database, etc.The Feedback section is gone? What will happen to trading now? The page is so confusing now. I prefer the old page, its much easier to navigate imo.
I did that and this thread still doesn't show up.

Thank you for this. I may actually be able to keep using CAG now! Though it seems a little bit wonky. I can see threads I was subscribed to before the update, but new threads (like this one for example) don't show up.Are you referring to this page (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=viewNewContent&search_app=forums)?
