Feedback : Is feedback all caught up ? I think I left feedback for someone on the temporary thread, but their feedback doesn't reflect that. (It looked like these feedbacks were being manually updated as of this morning). Should I give this person feedback on the new arena, or is it something that will be done?

Feedback : the temporary feedbacks haven't been added yet

So, does this mean the temporary feedbacks will eventually be added? or do we need to ask trade partners to leave feedback again?
Sorry, I'm just not quite clear on this....

I will double check with Loa, but I'm pretty sure the others will be manually added as we get caught up. We have to parse through it all to make sure none is duplicated (ie left in the thread and submitted through the regular system).

I was trying to catch up on leaving feedback and I sent one and it said an error occurred but it also said that it needed to be approved first... does that mean everything is ok, it just needs an approval?

Yup, all feedback has to be approved now.

excuse me for making a topic with my question too quick.
i should have read this first.. *blush*

here's the question:
I am a bit confused. Is feedback only visible when clicking on a members profile?
Or am i being impatient and will the feedback section come up later?

Thanks in advance!

Feedback is on individual profiles now - you can search for members using the Members list above.

I like how feedback is now calculated as positive, neutral, & negative rather than the star system before. It makes it much easier to see a members's over all percentage, rather than scrolling through everything to look for the blue stars. 

I was wondering if there's anyway to have feedback removed if the member was banned? I have one negative & the member who left it ended up getting banned for shady business & multiple id's. I don't feel that's it's fair to be negatively rated by a scammer. Also when I clicked on her name, her profile appeared to be the same as an active member profile. Because of that, I'm wondering if previously banned members may have slipped through the cracks in the massive transfer of information?

You can contact Loa about getting that feedback removed. There were some glitches with banned members, but I have cleaned them all up now, so you shouldn't be seeing them anymore. If you are, please let me know.

Will this layout remain the same? I'm slightly mourning the loss of the awesome old style layout. (obviously I'm not being pushy or trying to rush anything, just curious )

For the most part, yes it will. It's a whole different board creation, so they are all unique.

I hope some well designed themes will pop up than. Honestly, i feel the old arena layout looked a bit more "professional". O.O
Most forums use a layout like this these days. I will get used to it and i do like some of the new options but a part of me feels that, design-wise, the current arena took a step backwards. I guess nothing can be changed about it anymore though.

We are working on trying to make it more homey, it's just going to take some time. This is only day 1, we're all learning. Our top priorities are making sure our data and settings are where they should be. Cosmetic updates are second.

I guess this isn't a question, but more so a request.

Can the main banner be a link back to the forum index? It's the main way when I navigate on any page to get back to the "home" page.   

(I am using the BLUE theme btw. )


Questions

For private messages : Is labels the new "save messages" function?

Themes :  I am sure this is probably a back burner type of thing, but will we get more themes in the future? Can arena users build new themes for the new arena?
I can't stand the pink theme (@_@; it's just... eye hurting to me lol), and the blue default theme, is of course not pony enough.

Calendar : I see the cal with tons of birthdays. That's awesome. Anyway, I'm curious about it. Can this calendar sync up to other things such as : Swap deadlines, Pony meet days, ... etc? Or is it a birthday only calendar.

The banner I'm not sure on, that's something our guru will have to look into.

For private messages : that I haven't play with yet

Themes :  YES! more are coming

Calendar : Birthdays only, it's linked directly to member profiles

Feedback : the temporary feedbacks haven't been added yet

I'm just trying to make sure I'm not completely blind... Is the classifieds section simply not moved over yet or am I overlooking it? If it's not moved over, are we going to have it again or do I need to make a sales thread?  I also can't find a trader feedback forum.  Are we moving to only having trader feedback available next to our names?  Thanks for the help and all your hard work!

Classifieds will be coming, once we can find a compatible option. For now you may want to start a For Sale thread.

The Trader Support forum is still there. But the individual feedback is linked directly to your profile. You can search for specific members using the Member List at the top.
