ZZRBabe - the system was broken/old/shit - that's why I fixed/updated it (as requested by a lot of people over the past couple of years).
Emzed, I just fixed a big bug with old internet explorer versions. If your buttons on the left (conversations list) are "rounded" then you're not affected. If them buttons are "square" at the edges then you would have probably noticed a lot of problems (some of which are now fixed). it's because Internet Explorer doesn't behave itself unfortunately.
Regarding deleting messages etc - that will come tomorrow hopefully or in the coming days. Wanted to just get the system online first (reading and sending messages) to see how it feels for everyone.
Oh, and it's not possible to have both systems anymore. The old system needs to be completely disabled but I just realised how it might be possible for you to access the old system still by mistake
well i think its rubbish i preferred the old system but if you want it keep it but i shant bother using it as i dont like it.as others have said on here they dont like it either.and as for it being broken!! why was it broken i never had a single problem with it!! its always same on any site a few people complain and everyone has to suffer for it.but then that is same all over funny as its us who actually pay for the site yet we dont all get a say as usual
Emzed, i'm concerned that you have missing messages. That shouldn't be the case at all. And it really shouldn't be possible for the messages to change from one minute to the next. It is indeed more mobile friendly, but still not 100% (I'd like to make a BM mobile app soon, I'm currently studying how to make android apps to get myself started). You need to use the new version of internet explorer (version 11) to benefit the most from the new system. There is no warning about rich text anymore because Rich text doesn't exist anymore for the messaging system. Sorry.
Rowan, the 2 little green ticks (like on whatsapp) show you if a message has been read or not. A single tick = not read, double tick = read.
zzrbabe, i couldn't care less. It's 3:30am here and I've worked my arse off on this for a few weeks now. We can all be rude can't we. If you don't like it, don't use it. if you want to give some constructive feedback then feel free. But that you feel it's "Rubbish" is just you being a troll. The sooner you go away the better (certainly better for my complaints email inbox).
Emzed - just made a load of changes for those using older versions of internet explorer (so apologies for all the errors you've probably been getting). I'd be curious to know how you feel about the system using both Internet Explorer vs others (Google Chrome, Firefox etc).
Internet explorer (older than the latest version 11) is a pain in the arse - it just doesn't behave according to normal internet standards
I couldn't use it at first yesterday as I was in IE so quickly tried Chrome and it was fine, just tried it now in IE again and its as sound as a pound and can see all messages....can see no difference yet between IE and Chrome but if I see any I shall say so on here.
I think it is a great wee system and is exactly like conversations on mobys or on FB..... far clearer to read and easier to keep track of convo.
Thankyou Matt for improving it.
i like the new set up coz you can open a conversation with a particular person whereas before you had to scroll through all your messages etc so that to me is fabooooo
not used it much to suss about about deleting and spotting new messages etc but i do prefer this format fankoooooo
Notifications are the same as before, and as you say Suzi, it is easier to find a particular conversation without having to scroll through pages and pages of previous messages to others.
No doubt there will be teething problems but with a bit of fine tuning and tweeking I think will be an improvement.
You're welcome Lulu, thanks :-D Question: if you view with Internet Explorer, do the names of the conversations on the left appear as squares or ovals? Also, what version of IE do you use (if you press help/about in your browser you will see).
I'm using an oldie IE9 for browseing but never get any probs with it on my laptop, except for yesterday when I couldn't see any messages but now I can. When using the IE the names are in squares, when using Chrome as I am now the names are in ovals. Hope that helps, haven't tried any other browsers yet....
Will teach me not to have a look about. Didn't see new format until today lol read everyone's mixed opinions. Its just like getting use to a new phone, swings and roundabouts. Bits you like,bits you hate.
