New Xstreet forums open

Yes, that's how I did it Also doesn't work when I click on one of the topics that are shown on Xstreet where I'm also already logged in. Don't know what I'm doing wrong

You're right. That is worth it. Only there are no ferrets in there. hehe

Get ready for this forum to die soon... its next lol

This is LL. If it isn't broke, find a way to break it.

I'm no fan of the current format there, which is why I'm hoping these forums remain open for a while yet whilst they iron out the usability issues. I'm sure they can tweak things and use different themes to give them more of a forum look.

Admittedly I was hoping they'd do this before they moved the Xstreet forums, but maybe they need to move them to see how they work with the basic format.

QFT +1

and a great way to hide peoples comments when LL screws up I might add..

I'm sure they could as well, but you do realize the company you're speaking of here, don't you?

It's going to be a shame when they do this same crap to this forum.. Killing two communities.. Sigh EPIC Fail LL

I tried again with IE instead of firefox and it's working with IE, but I still have no idea why I can't do the same with firefox. Anyway, I don't like new format at all so I won't be using it a lot and just in case I have to I can still use IE should I not be able to find the cause

Shame is such a tame word, Taylor. Doesn't do it the injustice that it will become.

Another example of bad design and planning. No surprises here.

Awwww, you guys should at least check in, the frantic battle to drive up their post count is hilarious.

Minke I was using FF 3.5 with the new blog format and didnt have any problems during the adult changes threads but its clunky at best, as Ciaran says maybe they will make some changes and fine tune but don't hold your breath as Blue loves it

LMAO I saw that.. They are posting mad..

But why? Who the hell is going to find what they are posting?

Kalor you are right shame may not be the correct word but I was trying to behave myself on LL turf.. lol

It's bad. The more I use it, the more I come up against it's limitations. It needs so much work just to rise to the minimum standards of a functional forum.

No company really wants its customers talking to each other.

So the comments about this being a screw-up are probably mistaken: if they've made it harder for us to talk to each other, that was probably their genuine intent, and not a screw-up at all (from their point of view).

But if their intent included discouraging content creation--well, that really IS a different direction for LL. (As compared with discouraging community among Residents, which has been at least in the background all along--as it would be with any company [I'm not saying LL is worse than other companies in this regard.])

I hope it's not true that a philosophy of discouraging content creation is gaining prominence in LL. Maybe it is just a case of the scripting and texturing and other forums being last to be put up.

It took me a few minutes to actually see it, but - that is cool!

As for the new "forums"... I am very disappointed, but not at all surprised, by LL's decision to stay the original course of (mis)using the blog software. I had hopes after all the discussions with Blue that they would consider actual forum software for the job; but given LL's long track record of soliciting community inputs and then throwing it all into the shredder and doing whatever the hell they want anyway, I am not surprised

Considering how badly the blog software cracked and crumbled under the strain of the Adult Content discussion (how ironic) a few months ago, I predict a full-fledged digital train wreck when the full cutover takes place. At the very least, there are default behaviors set in the new "forums", such as the "show the entire thread on one page" default, that are guaranteed to initiate total warp core breech the first time a REAL thread gets posted there. 25 thousand people all trying to access something like the Undying Thread on the new software will likely result in such a huge server overload that the resulting meltdown and subsequent nuclear chain reaction will likely remove half of the State of California off the map.

I'm not even going to bother looking. My bags are packed and I'm ready for them to shut the lights out on this place.

I'm on FF 3.5 as well but still can't find the cause, looked at preferences (pretty much left them at standard settings apart from a slightly bigger font), cleared cache and cookies and whatever else came to my mind
I have had random problems with the "new" blog since it replaced the old one (random 404 errors etc). I don't think it's my computer because I've had the same things happen on 3 different computers (XP and Vista).

I think I'm not going to use that blog a lot anyway, it's just too confusing and not intuitive at all, but I was still wondering why it doesn't let me log in

Smart companies realize it'll happen anyway, and figure it's better to have them do it where they can see them. Time for a link to http://www.cluetrain.com/

Oh, hey, Lord S. Did you see this?

you may advertise or promote your own products and services for Second Life, your stores within Second Life, and your Xstreet SL marketplace listings, provided that you do not advertise or promote any sale, purchase, or trade outside a Linden Lab property (such as Second Life or the Xstreet SL marketplace), and YOU DO NOT LINK TO WEBSITES THAT INCLUDE OFFERS TO TRADE, SELL, OR PURCHASE OUTSIDE A LINDEN LAB PROPERTY.

I guess is a vote on about the new Xstreet forum since there are more posts about it here than on the new forum itself. (Same applies to the new answers forums, that needs to be reworked also).
