ATS 2010 Updates Thread - #(UPDATE Nov. 10)#

reply to post by zazzafrazz


Java script is enabled and still no joy, have tried it on a few blackberries, no tool bar.....

What happened to the "No More Ads" reward for getting bronze status or above? I'm a gold status member, and I'm currently staring at a 'Identidy Guard' ad on the recent posts page...

That went the way of the dinosaurs with the new improved ATS. You need to reach super cosmic, triple platinum level to get rid of the ads now.

Actually that was a troll response. This question has been asked and not answered several times in this thread. I figured if I offered a flippant, outrageous explanation the management would be forced to finally respond, just to set me strait.

Shhhh dont't tell 'em

I hate to say it but I do not like the new layout at all; I do fear change, however, I have been trying to adjust to the new layout for quite some time now; my opinion is unchanged. I just thought I would give my two cents not that it is worth all that much to you.

So no top button yet, or ever? Has this been answered yet or still ignored? Thanks.

You have a "home" button on your keyboard. That does the same thing. It takes you to the top of the page. The "end" button takes you all the way down to the bottom of the page you are on.

This may have been mentioned already, or I could just be blind, but could we get the link to the thread back on the "Post a reply/comment" page? I occasionally like to read back over a few posts while typing a response to make sure I'm remembering what was said correctly, but the link to the thread on the title is gone now. Not a huge deal, it was just a convenient little link that I miss now.

I just don't like the new layout,is there a way to use the old layout.It would be nice if it was an option like on yahoo mail mail,click to use the new version or click back to use the older version.Sorry ATS I tried to get used to the new layout but it just does not work for me.I have spent less time on ATS since the new layout came out because I just does not feel the same to me.

I do like the new layout and color choices.

I miss having the post and flag count showing in My ATS favorite list.

I miss the multiple column display for My ATS favorite list.

Any chance of getting those features back?

HEADS UP!


After we've had a chance to review a solid set of data on utilization of the new menu system, a couple issues have been discovered:

1) Because of the highly dynamic "no-cache" nature of ATS, it appears as though this is causing the need for many user's browsers to download the entire jQuery Javascript library (used to make the menu system function) on nearly every page load... adding an unacceptable 80+k to each page download. A work-around has been been discovered.

2) In addition, the jQuery functions are conflicting with many other Javascripts that are important, causing issues primarily with mobile users who prefer the main site to the mobile site.

2b) And, yes we listen, the above combined with user feedback made it clear that we should focus on a functional recoding of the menu, rather than spend time on a work-around that may not exist.


The new menu system will be visually similar to what we have now, but functionally very close to the pre-ATS 2010 menu system where submenus are on the pages that need them.

A preview of the new menu, which may appear later today (if all goes well): new menu preview

Thanks for the heads up.
It is appreciated.

I'm liking the new site layout more and more each day.

Agreed. Thank you for the update and actually look forward to the new menu layout.

Thank you for returning the single click MY ATS feature!!!! As always you guys never fail to please.

Why isn't the "Recent Posts" button appearing on every page?
Also missing is the "Member Tools" button.

I really like the old format better.
Everything was there; I didn't have to hunt for it.

I see the "Close Window" button as useless and unnessesary.
I always use that red x in the right hand corner there.

Seems Members and Profile are reversed, when I click on Members I get my Profile and click on Profile I get Members...

I like it all..it looks and feels great but...

would still like to see the "top" button put back at the bottom of each page..

The menu updates are completed.

Thought I would breeze in and say I personally think everything looks FANTASTIC!
