The notification on new thread's replies does not seem updating in real time. I like the old platform where it'll notify you whenever there are new replies on the thread you are on only. Maybe I just need to adjust.

@HellaSteph I'm getting emails for every post on this thread. How do I turn that off? I have unchecked "and receive email notifications of already are unchecked for" under prefrences and options. Thanks

Finding the actual FORUMS are harder than it should be. Two-Three clicks now vs. a drop down menu with every forum sub topic. I guess I need to start "watching" threads or forums, but even then, it takes additional clicks.

Yeah, Wally... I've had to "watch" a bunch of threads now...
From a navigating perspective, it was easier on the old NT. Plus on old NT, I could tell which threads I've read at or had posted in as they were highlighted with a different color. Not anymore though, so I have to scan each thread title now.

The scores were imported as they were, but the calculation moving forward will no longer be weighted. It will be one person, one vote, one point.
Email alerts are available. If you always want email notifications, visit the preferences area under settings. https://niketalk.com/account/preferences
Now.
Right now, that only shows up when you're currently composing a reply. Though the new post notifier only worked on desktop on Huddler, it's something we'd like to get working for everyone in the future.
Unfortunately, it's one of those things that may have to wait a few months as there are major changes planned to the core of the forum software we're using, so we don't want to invest a lot of resources into a feature that may need to be rebuilt a few months from now.
You can use .gifs in your avatar, but they will not animate in the forums.
Are you getting an error or are you unable to locate the option to change it? (It's found under "contact details" in settings.)
The OG emoji are coming. It's taking longer than we want, in part because there are more important issues to deal with right now, but they are coming back.not sure if this was already address but are we getting back the original emojis?
There are redirects available for most pages, so you shouldn't be getting too many errors, but I know some are still not working properly. (If you bookmarked the General forum, for example.) If you come across any, let us know. We'll get those patched up.
Search is still being worked on. It seems like it's working for items added SINCE the migration, but not those posted before.
Short term, you can to go a search engine and type
site:niketalk.com bitcoin thread
Or whatever other thread you're looking for. We sprung for upgraded search capabilities for the new site, so you'd better believe we want those functional. Hopefully the site search function on search engines will be a serviceable workaround for you in the interim. Some redirects aren't functioning correctly, much to my chagrin, so it's possible you'll get a 404 until that's fixed.
Here's a direct link to the thread you're looking for: https://niketalk.com/threads/official-bitcoin-thread.302014/
Right now, we're using the same defaults as we did on Huddler, but there's currently no option for users to adjust these on a custom basis. That may change in the future, or we may bump up the default a bit.
It seems that you need to disable these manually for each thread. If you turn off the feature globally, that just means it won't auto-subscribe you any more. It doesn't cancel all active subscriptions.
It's not ideal, but that is unfortunately the way the system works for now.

It's a work-in-progress... Understandable.
Good to know that more options are in the pipeline.

Thanks for all the work,

One quick comment (related to the Bitcoin threads) -- some of the older threads are not showing up on the forum page, even when they have recent posts (the politics thread is one example). Not a priority, but thought I'd bring it up if it's related to something else being worked on currently.

The new alerts are a bit much. A notification that there are new posts to be read is fine, I'm a reader. For others it might be cool if you want to know in advance who replied in particular. So far in digging the new site overall...

With the old setup, browsing various threads, when someone chose to upload their photo to the gallery, I loved that you could cycle through and see what has been uploaded in the thread on the right column of your screen. Very useful in the NEW ERA thread and the NBA JERSEY thread. Pretty much any thread like WDYWT.
Attaching files has become a burden and doesnt work on the PC version. Losing 4+ years of documented photos is very tough for some of these older threads. There are bare remnants of various threads now. So much history lost. The YUKU to the other transition seemed much more seamless.
Will we see anything like the old upload system in the future? Was it becoming a burden hosting so many photos?
I guess I shouldve saved some stuff somewhere else.. Like I said, so much documented history LOST if we uploaded photos to the NT system.
The New Era thread is useless now with [ IMG ] polluting hundreds of pages. No offense, but some threads should just start over from scratch. I appreciate a full migration but so many threads have become useless (until new posts populate).

Yeah I'm very disappointed to say the least. I was lazy to save pics from this thread - https://niketalk.com/threads/help-m...gaiters-and-forefoot-similar-to-ajxiv.532119/ they were nt exclusive and still can't be find anywhere else. Now the only thing I can save are thumbs from google img search.

In the old forum I could choose the amount of posts I wanted to show on each page, how can I do that here?

I don't remember for sure but weren't the thread titles in red on the old platform? Thought that was easier on the eyes... I could be bugging out though and it might've been white anyone remember?
Also, I tried to edit my signature and won't let me do anything because it says my signature is 85 characters too long... all i tried to do was change the colors. It does however leave me as is, whats up with that?

For now, but the name change will be coming, I think they said in about a month you'll be able to change your name and for a year, it'll show "formally xxxxxx" in addition to your new name
