TriniTuner.com Version 4.0

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

so can you put code for YouTube video at a specific time within the [youtube][/youtube] ?

eg. if I want to embed https://youtu.be/CgWHbpMVQ1U?t=2m23s

Also, "Flash" and "Video" codes don't work:

[flash=][video]

[/video][/flash]

but that may not even be relevant anymore with facebookvideo and YouTube.

working on that

flash is more or less outdated, many devices no longer supports it. We've stopped running flash ads or flash content on trinituner. Many browsers including Chrome will no longer autplay flash. Youtube uses HTML5 instead of flash now.

the Video bbcode was deprecated, but we will tweak it and probably introduce a [media] bbcode instead that will work for almost all types of media including google maps, vimeo, youtube, soundcloud etc. and will use the entire URL.

have you tried the gfycat you requested earlier?

Is there any reason why no topics show under "participated" in Tapatalk on Android? Works fine on other forums.

[ruffneck_12]

[Daran]

yea, my tuner usage drop drastically :/

Thought it was just me. Old 2nr despite the slightly dated look, had a much more engaging user experience.

[TurboSingh12]

Now i spend more time on fassbook the Tuner!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Agreed with all comments...minus the fb one

[mark2.0]

Yeah, this new search of a forum is a trip.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Its the same phpbb though - we put the avatar on the right to highlight the post content more. Other than that, nothing changed.
The site is now far more mobile friendly and traffic in the classifieds and blog are up tremendously.

[SMc]

they don't have the original thread subject at the top of each post anymore..I used to enjoy looking at what a thread was called when it was first started in comparison to what it may now be called...and what people renamed it as time went by.

It was also a big help as with my old age I often cant remember what the original thread was about because of the random or nonsensical comments that titfucts like ED, Desiphlem & Jagfal inject into any thread that will entertain them..please bring that back

[nos_specialist]

that homepage, i dunno if its just me but.... is like i jus dont know Where to look when the page open, pictures of different sizes all over and big and glaring to me...mouse moving and d pics zoomin and its kinda confusing..

[Morpheus]

The fonts, colors etc changed. I find it much harder to navigate now... I don't use it on a mobile device at all though, so can't speak to that...

Same Post - Old VS New


OLD VERSION





NEW VERSION



I think the older version had a bit more darker background colours which made it easier on the eyes.
A "Dark Mode" option for the desktop is welcomed by me.

... I don't use it on a mobile device at all though, so can't speak to that

I actually prefer the mobile app compared to the new desktop look – for navigation, reading and entering posts.

What I don’t like about the app though is the Preview of the last Picture Posted.

It maybe a rude/nude or gruesome pic that someone may not want to see, for whatever personal reason etc… but they are forced to see it without even entering the thread - simply by scrolling down the list of threads in a forum, most of the pic is shown even if it was deleted by the poster.

[tourniquet]

got accustomed to the new layout, but the forum has been generally less entertaining over the last several years. it's still pretty good for the price though

you can switch off the image previews in the app in settings.

I guess yes, change is a must, but I find the forum search from a pc kind of annoying.

the app which you prefer has a Dark / Night mode, it's in the Settings.

the grey background colour for the posts is the same shade of grey in the old version and the new version.

what about it is annoying? We'd like to fix it if there is a problem

[DirtHeart]

agreed.. my tuner usage reduced to almost 0 now.

The usability doesn't work for me. However, the mobile app is better.

for example, when the user session starts, the "login" button should be hidden.

lacks "funneling" too many navs. the user will get lost. 1 burger menu and breadcrumbs would suffice. lose the navbar or lose the burger menu for quick links and the right div entirely .

For starters lol

Duane, Hire me as your website consultant. I charge hot eh lol

changing the browser window size will remove the nav bar and replace it with a burger menu. The forum has always had breadcrumbs. That is built into phpbb.

Let's say I search "tyres" and hit the search button, I get a listing of all the individual posts. Basically of there are 10 threads about tyres each with 5 posts, there would be 50 results

This! I find it really annoying to have every single individual post rather than just the thread show up in the results. It makes looking for stuff so much harder now.

You can also search within search results.

if we showed just the topic titles then you would then have to search inside each topic rather than going to the exact post with the search term. Some topics have hundreds of pages.

Yup... I know about the Dark Mode in the app.. (one of the things I like about the app)
But it has limitations... Usernames are not easily recognizable along with other dark coloured text in Powerseller Ads etc

Wrt the desktop... the screen is larger than a phone, so this new White Background (around the thread) is the somewhat glaring feature. I always have to make sure all the lights are on in the room when using the desktop version lol.

With the endless ads all over, I feel like I'm on a Torrent Site. Even with these sites though, once you're a registered member, they remove the ads.
But when it is just a "community/discussion forum" and I see all these ads... it gets annoying. I guess it's your business so I'm not against it.

I personally feel the difference and don't really like it, but that is just me.

the latest version of the app that was released last couple of weeks ago changes the colour and makes the usernames more readable in dark mode. I imagine you use Android and your phone theme/skin is set to be dark.

Google search results and wikipedia for example user far more white in their pages than we do. If screen brightness on white web pages is an issue you can try plugins like Hacker Vision for Chrome or turning down your screen brightness levels. it would work on wikipedia and google for you too.

sites that remove ads for members are usually paid sites or sites that collect revenue from users in some form. We try to keep everything for free on TriniTuner. We get tens of thousands of visitors each day, including in our mobile app and so advertisers are happy to get their ads seen and pay the bills. Win, win, win situation for users, advertisers and us. We use standard Google ad sizes too to ensure that ads are not overly intrusive (except on our page-takeover ad of course).

I personally feel the difference and don't really like it, but that is just me.

we are very happy for the feedback and lets us know what our users want. The trinituner.com you see today is a culmination of user feedback and requests that we have gotten over the years based on what users want.

Yeah but Duane... you know the time we spend on tuner cannot be compared to when we check Wikipedia or just Google something... LOL
Men does be reading and typing on tuner for hours.

Thanks for the response though...
I'm always glad to help.
