A fresh makeover - Vivaldi forum gets a new look
-
Hi guys
I don't really like the new look. Maybe the underlying tech is better, but the forums should be more aesthetically and functionally pleasing.
Now they fell like the new Skype. Old Skype was way better.

I have a similar problem, Ayespy told the devs are looking into this issue. I confirm that at least clearing the vivaldi.net cookies helps in the logout issue

Me neither. For me its too "materialistic" A lot of wasted space. White background and in the middle some list of threads with no borders etc. And that fading, too much fading.

The speed of the new forum format is wonderful. On the other hand, and perhaps because I'm decidedly old school with computers (having been using them since before the dawn of the PC era), I find the emphasis on bold, garish colors and over-simplified iconography and functionality to be a throwback to low-res, CGA-era software. Much has been gained in the era of mobile/handheld devices with miniature screens, but much design elegance seems also to have been lost.

Exactly my opinion, a forum for mobiles when vivaldi is for pcs.

Thanks for screwing all by latest few updates - many sites don't remember my accounts and passwords now, and for many pages i can not even log in.
Moreover when i set size for websitej (for example 120%), it not appears. Websitej are always in standard size, i have to use my "normal size" key.
So - THANK YOU VERY MUCH for screwing all good job. I have to say bye-bye to Vivaldi, which is not for people with passion. -
#1 sorry to hear that
#2 this thread is about the forum, use the other one or the forum for browser problems
#3 a post like that isn't helpful either for you and for the team.
You don't mention which sites which OS are you using or any other helpful information.
This way your problem will stay there, and likely the devs will spend a lot of more time to fix it (assuming that the problem is in the browser, possible but not sure at this point)#4 Snapshots are published in a separate stream for a reason. Users who use them are aware that they are a work in progress, and although usually safe they may contain glitches or even bigger bugs, like any other pre-release SW.
If you don't like that you don't need another browser you need just to download a stable version from vivaldi.com, not vivaldi.net .

Sweet! Any ETA?

Yes, I can confirm, clearing the cookies helped with the logout process here at the bold, but I still can't log into the forum directly, always get that same message after introducing username/password.
I'm still using Firefox as main browser. Strange thing is when I tried logging in from a fresh Vivaldi installation the same error popped up, but logging in to this blog, made the same automatic login-redirect thingy and never even asked for username/password. Are the cookies shared?

Back-forward caching of Opera 12 ignored because it's not really relevant to every other browser (I wish we had it, but we don't), the new forum is way, way faster than it used to be for me. It also looks dramatically better. It's one of the best forums I've ever used.
-
Wow! Nice! It is much more organized.
-
On both vivaldi.net and on new forum there are options for this, im not sure if they work though. Topic is about forums so settings>Privacy>Show My Full Name.
-
I have tried deleting my vivaldi.net cookies, but my login to the blogs is still being lost. Log in to the forums is automatic, and if I visit there first, I am logged in to the blog.
-
In "stable" version i have the same problem. So your fanboys dislikes looks way pathetic though.
-
Note that I used to startup with Last Session. That had got changed to "Specific pages." After changing my startup to Last Session, and restarting the browser, I am still logged in to the blogs.
-
Still losing my login to the blogs.

great move

Both the forums and the blogs expect courtesy and respect, even when expressing upsets, misgivings or problems. It's actually the number one thing you agree to by participating.
Being nasty and rude does not make you a "realist" or "honest." Being honest and realistic, while remaining polite, does not make one a "fanboy."
The_Solutor and myself work pretty hard to help Vivaldi improve their product by bringing up problems direct to the developers; and at the same time work pretty hard to try to promote a welcoming atmosphere for users on the forums and the blog. This does not make us "fanboys," either. It makes us people who put our own sweat into making things better. In my life, I don't insult people who are actively trying to improve things.
I see insulting people who actually do the work is pretty popular on the web nowadays - but on on Vivaldi boards. We ask you to remain courteous and respectful in your comments, both negative and positive.

Same here. There's a bit more work to be done to unify/centalize logins. Devs are still working on it.

What are you smokin? the new forum is noticeably faster than the old one thanks to ajax load without page refresh.
