Tip #1
Follows and Feed
Favorites are now Follows
If you follow (the icon that looks like a radar) clubs or dancers/members, then go to your feed (the icon that looks like radio waves) you will see EVERYTHING pertaining to your folows (which could be clubs OR dancers/other members). All new reviews, photos, discussions, everything in one place for your follow.
Tip #2
Bookmarks and Feed
If you bookmark (the icon that looks like a bookmark) posts (reviews, photos, articles, discussions) then go to your feed (the icon that looks like radio waves) you will see all new comments pertaining to your bookmarks.
Tip #3
Editing Bookmarks and Follows
To remove anything from your follow or bookmark list, click on the BOOKMARKS or FOLLOWING icons. Then simply click the bookmark or follow icon on anything you no longer wish to track. (The icon should go from PURPLE (active) to GRAY (inactive)
Do the thumbs up/down do anything more than just provide a visual of a post being liked/disliked?
Not currently, but they will be added to everything else soon, and then you will get more of a feeling of who likes what.
@founder
In what section of the TUSCL User Manual for the website will these Tips be listed?
:D
I’d suggest leaving reviews/articles/discussions separate instead of all on the home page
There are still separate pages for them
i’m confused.
and what is with these pinned discussions?
Founder when I click on reviews it doesn’t give all of the most recent reviews, those are still on the home page
Hell yeah! Thank you for the like button Founder!!!
I just fin the new format very confusing and not really user friendly. I like the old layout better. Things were much easier to find, everything was right in front of you. There are too many clicks to get to where I want to go.
Where is it you want to go, cruzer?
"Last Comment" link broken in main Reviews view and also inside the review itself
That link should be fixed now, papi
Tip #4 - if you follow yourself it makes it easy to see who responded to your posts
Tip #5 -. If you don't want to get an email every time someone likes on of your posts, you can turn it off in your email settings
What does the bullhorn w/ the line thru it and a number underneath, mean? If one hovers over it says "Toggle Mute". Does than mean another TUSCLer has you on Ignore, or the # of your posts that have been muted, or something else?
That's the ignore button for a member
The number is how many members have that user on ignore
Appearently 16 is the magic number
The feature where verified dancers can actually add themselves as dancers on a club listing is pretty fuckin sweet. Just saying. :D
(stillrequestingbeingabletoexpandavatarsbutthankyou)
Share the word with your dancer friends, eve
I'll get the avatar thing fixed soon
By the time I figure this layout out, it's going to switch again lol. It switches more than any other site I visit.
Can we get a button to see all full reviews instead of having to click reviews one by one?
Gotta keep my skills up, himoverthere
Full review view is coming soon
CJKent,

If founder has a User Manual, you will need this. Peppa Pig Childrens Books Phonics Learn to Read Good Luck!
I find the new design difficult to use when compared to the previous version. Change isn't always an improvement.
Tahoecruz apparently he doesn't understand .
The more I’ve been using the site with the format, the more I’m liking it
These new site changes are badass!!!
If you right-click an avatar and select "open in new tab" you'll get a full size pic.
^ 👍
Every time there's a change to a website (or anything else), there's gonna be some getting used to.
I don't think the changes have been that drastic and I appreciate the functionality that has been added.
I am liking the clean look. I have some questions about the buttons. Every thread has a toggle mute at the top and a toggle ignore at the bottom. Is the number next to toggle mute the number of times comments by that member have been muted or how many people have that member on ignore? Just a little confused because mute used to be for comments and ignore was to shut down seeing anything from that member.
Mute is to shut down another user
The # is how many have that user muted
🚫 Is for the particular post
My initial hesitations regarding the new format have quickly reversed. I like it now. Good job. Except that I'd like to see reviews by dates on sperate pages like in the past.
An chance of getting an option to ignore or mute entire groups within the discussions?
For instance if I wanted to mute all of the TJ Monger Discussions because I don't foresee myself getting to TJ anytime soon but still want to see all of the other groups together.
Over all like the new layout, but I agree with TheeOSU that I preferred the daily reviews on separate pages by date but that's just a personal preference and I'll adjust.
"if you follow yourself it makes it easy" I always thought only people with multiple personalities (not just multiple TUSCL accounts) had the ability to stalk themselves.
"... If you don't want to get an email every time someone likes on of your posts, you can turn it off in your email settings ..."
I didn't know this was "on" by default till I logged into my email and noticed about a dozen new TUSCL emails
nicespice, Agreed! Better as time progresses.
If you clicked the speaker icon wondering what it did, how do you undo that? Nothing happened when I clicked the show button.
Then I click the button again and now can't see my own post. Not sure if it's a bug or the show button does not work on my iPad.
Show button works on my iphone. Might have something to do with using an old ios on my ipad. I think it might be a 9. something version.
i can’t ‘show’ my muted comments from my devices even with repeated clicking. old iphone and ipad.
shit. ALL my comments are ‘ muted’.
You've muted yourself, jascoi. Check your ignore list under account settings.
^ might be a good idea for TUSCL to not allow to mute yourself since this is almost always done by accident
good idea, papi
there were 23 members ignoring themselves.
sigh
i can’t find my account settings. i’m using a old iphone and ipad.
ok. found account settings on my ipad.
It should be on the menu
i have to turn the ipad sideways to reveal the top menu. and the iphone still no bueno.
Doesn't the menu on the mobile site work?
"Except that I'd like to see reviews by dates on sperate pages like in the past."
Also how about reviews alphabetically by state and then alphabetically by cities in each state like it used to be? I know reviews are going up by time posted but it's a haphazard mess that has to be sorted through if someone just wants to read the reviews in their state.
"there were 23 members ignoring themselves. sigh"
So, 23 people were in self-denial after seeing the site changes. LOL
Founder, thanks for that link. ;-)
Thanks for the bookmarking feature!
"there were 23 members ignoring themselves."
With some of them I'm sure there was a good reason 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the "following" page, can we get a date added to the the most recent review so I don't have to go into the clubs page to see when it was posted?
New site seems ok, but I also thought the old site was fine. If its not broke, don't fix it.
rougeone, the old site was way "broke" behind the scenes
added the last review date.
Can i still find ... "Clubs nearest me now" a cool location feature ?
Please no more changes for at least 4 years. And bring back the top 10 clubs.
w.r.t. published reviews, the club details (time of visit; dancers working; money spent), and the club ratings, IMO should be displayed before the review and not after - displaying the info upfront serves as a prequel/heads-up for the review - often times a reviewer does not state in the review the day nor time he visited, or may not mention it till near the end - knowing this info ahead of time gives the review context as one is reading it.
Love the updated site changes. Just like everything else, takes a bit to get used to new layout, etc. but GREAT job! Thanks for taking the time to update the site.
What are the up/down indicators next to the send message supposed to do?
not sure what you mean shadowcat
To the right of the envelope icon for "send an email" there are an up and down indicator. What do they do?
Probably they are scroll buttons
OK!
It's probably not a good idea for users to know how many people are ignoring them.
Why, liwet? Think it hurts their feelings?
Knowing how many people are ignoring you builds character
It encourages trolls and stupid shit if they get rewarded for it.
"... the club details (time of visit; dancers working; money spent), and the club ratings, IMO should be displayed before the review and not after .."
I thought I saw yesterday at some point that this change had been made? But now it seems it was changed back?
The club locations is a mess - one has to go down way too-many levels to get to a particular club - it's also way too granular further breaking down cities into areas of the city which most people are not gonna be familiar with - way overkill.
It's unnecessarily complicated making it much less useful (the complexity far outweighs the usefulness) - IMO it should be as it was a few months back when it was just broken down into states and cities, any further breakdown just complicates things and make it less useful - there should also be a link where one can click on a city in the review and get to that city's clubs, like it was in the past.
If I arrive in a town I'm not familiar with, how do I look up nearby clubs? There used to be a sort feature that was based on your current location but I can't seem to find it now.
