Ahmad.....MOD has to ...

make a NEW public announcement (QL main page) regarding revamp and its full operation!

'new forum topics' and 'hot topics' have disappeared

MY MENU.....tab on the RHS!

hi dude,

anything and everything under the q&a section has some junk posts automatically associated.. can you check that plz. its quite annoyin

and where is 'new forum topics' and 'hot topics'?

Please check the Q&A section..all questions have the same replies in it...and completely unrelated to the question.

There’s no indication of new comments in 'My recent posts'

Well Ahmed I, Appreciate your job... for making QL a Fun site..

Der a some problem..

like..

when i attach Images in forum.. the attachments does't show..

there is only body.. no attachment..

Muhammad YouSuf.

system maintenance for last one week!

I have finished all my long pending work in the office, being away from office prior this week!

BUT please give my Great Friends list and mailbox BACK (all my emotional love letters exchanged with QLers) ;D

Ahmadbhai, Note my INBOX is strictly 'confidential'!

ahmad, please work on the writing over the avatars as well. Severity 5 though, I understand you have more priorities.

Salaam

Are you getting paid or a reward for each post? The people complaining about post counts should have to start from zero... what is the point? What matters is that the website is up and running properly, the rest doesn't matter to me at all. Taking almost 3 hours to post a Classified, now that is something that needs fixing asap.

Get well soon QL :)

great but, am always lost with my postings(:

Oh well, am sure it would take some time to get used to it again.

I CANT EDIT MY ADVERTISEMENTS....PLZ HELP ME OUT

thanks ahmad

Welldone Ahmad and keep up the good work as usual !!

UKEng keep the good cap down plz.....:)

Morning buddy......

keep the good work up Ahmad..

and the wait goes on..

thanks for the updates.

thanks for the update ahmad.. hope the points get sorted out soon.. :)

YEAH...........................no points at all..........................

All comments are pointless again...

Had major hiccups today as you guys probably noticed. But here is the update:

- The recent post issue is resolved i.e. no more classifieds will appear on the recent posts tab except for the ones that are already there. The ones that are already there will move down the list as new posts come from the forums.

- Comments have been fixed as how they used to be.

- Site stability: That one has been very tricky so far, but I'm hoping tomorrow it will be more stable than today.

- Private Messages (INBOX): Once the site is stable, I will start working on it. Apologies bu the Inbox issue is quite a bit of work which I'm leaving till the site has become stable.

- We lost a few hours worth of content today so again apologies for that. Please repost if you find your post from earlier today missing.

I'll post up other issues as they crop up and / or get resolved.

Thanks,

Ahmad, Qatar Living

new forum topics has not changed much for the last three days. Or is it that the number of new posts have decreased dramatically after the upgrade?

this is a wierd situation that is going. Its almost a week and still so much needs to be done. Was this a blind update?

Instead of going back to the previous version and then doing the tweaking for the new version, this has been all but trial and error over here that has been going on.

Professional - no way.........

STILL the same problem.....:(

WHY ? its been a decade now.

When can V hav our normal Lifes back in QL ?

When can i c, meet and send PMS to my old pals ?

When i can post my informative and meaninful threads ?

When can i see the classifeds back inorder to check for some second hand WIG for myself ?

When when on the Planet Earth i shall get to C all this happiness ? :(

when the site owners and mods acts like dictators not giving a proper answer to your queries what do do you expect. They know that people will come back irrespective of whether it is all garbled up or in proper order.

Wake up people, show your power

how come a couple of times coming message from Crome saying that QL has mistakes in programming command of your MySQL

it's all mess up in the classified room...and whenever i want to reply a topic to commenting on somebody else's comment...strike to new comment...what is wrong??

to Ahmad: I hope you got somebody to assist you or supervising to make a double check for every details you make on the programming command

&feature=fvst

the classified section still needs more fixing.

thanks for ur work after all

submitted by ... is annoying .it i like we are in school submitting our school project or thesis.

Better not to get bored waiting, listen tp this :D

&feature=fvst

Pls take the site off

tell us how long it will take

delete all the double entries

we want a normal site we can ask Q and can see if there is a response

> Site on and off all the time

> (missing tab of recent answers)

> Double and multiple postings

> Missing inbox (we need to write to some contacts..

so better let us know whats going on, take it out of service as long as it takes and get it up functional

but like this it is a pain and we keep on checking and checking just to find out it get not any better..

Better not to get bored waiting, listen tp this :D

&feature=fvst

At the moment OL looks very comercial.

NO Head means NO Brain

And I am loving it :D

Khattak lala were is ur mundi ? i mean were is ur head ? :)

Rizks!!! QL remained NORMAL in those 5 days.....a lot of bashing/hatred threads making into multiple pages. Isn't that NORMAL? :-)

Rizks!!! QL remained NORMAL in those 5 days.....a lot of bashing/hatred threads making into multiple pages. Isn't that NORMAL? :-)

keep the good work up guys..

Welldone Ahmad n Qatari !!

QL is back to normal and all the abnormal Qlers are normal for the time being....:)

GOSH, 5dayz QL was under maintenance and i was feelin like i am totally cut out frm this world...:(

Just get used to the new format.. Just like the old format the new format will take time getting used too. So Rizks etal stop complaining and make the most of what you have..:) Where as all of us were accustomed to the old format, I still believe that this new version is better that any thing else on the web about Qatar..

Good job Ahmad!

and at least now, the points are back to normal.. thank you Mods!

guess we need to be a bit more patient and give them a chance to sort this out...

i don't mind havin all this changes... old is boring.. but they are right... recent posts are pretty mixed up...

Thanks Ahmad ! This is post is mainly just to make sure I can still post . . .

qatari/ahmed... Can we jump on directly to the first new comment on any thread even if its on the 2nd page?

Recent posts are being a bit more of a challenge. That is what we are working on at the moment i.e. first priority.

Xena, let's hope this will be the start of the improvement...

Thank you for putting the comment box back to normal:-)

Can we assume that soon we will have the recent posts all back to normal too:-p

yes, we understand ur gratitude lobot, 18 times.. lol!!!!!

lobot, whats this?? lolzzzz.

I see QL as a part of my life and can't think of my day without it...plz plzz do something AHMAD...

Its very messy and confusing ahmad...is it not possible to give us our old QL FORMAT with some little changes??

Ya Ahmad,

We should be able to modify/delete our own thread same like classified.

drmana you can still see people trying to indulge in Nationality bashing so quite normal I say ;-)

normal? So this is to be called normal from now on?? :-)

increasing percentage of Indians on QL!!! what rubbish...

Indians are just tightening their lungee'z... & nothing~!!...:D

this is normal? :P

QL is back to normal ? ;o)

69 IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO SAY... TWO CAN CHEW }:{

ring a bell in our MALE minds...Kinky are we?

Oh just checked in my mobile, I had this number but stored under a different name ;)

'974- 69696969".

Ok I will call you, Now post your number here as PM option is not working :P

ok, this is the 5th time I have to log in...everytime I click on "Forum" or "Living lounge" it takes ages to load, does not load and is on about this fucking Guru thing...can somebody please call me when this is in order again? I am VERY annoyed.

Khalas!

hopefully it is not one of those filthy ,skinny, naked ones with no teeth....SHUDDER!

With the increasing percentage of Indians on QL, it was only a matter of time before a Guru appeared here ;)

lol.. nomerci.. they know what to send to whom.. YOU got GURU! Khalas! Live with it! :)

Ahmad, Qatari ,pages are not loading properly, I had to log in about 3 different times, because there is some Guru thing going on, rather annoying.

So far things don't work for me at all.

Too many people missing the PM option, lol...

I want:

1.Recent posts and Classified to be separated;

2.When click on more.. under "New forum topics" to see actually MORE, instead of getting the Error

3. In the Questions section, the Question to be appeared only once, not to be repeated as many times as the answers are given;

4. button called "Post" or "Submit" instead of "Save"

I don't want:

1. to wait forever till the page is loaded

here we found something positive:

I LIKE THE SPELLING FEATURE THOUGH!!!!

I can't see any contact details for any of the classified ads so I can't contact any of the sellers!! For some reasone they're not being posted with the adverts.

i cant find my private meassages???

So when can we see QL ALIVE AGAIN ? :(

Boring Colour Mgmt

Why are so many things posted 2,3,4 times? Forum posts, classifieds and questions are all affected.

Hello ahmad, where can i find my inbox?

has 6006 comments. wow!

where is classified for jobs latest all coming here are old

and in classified for jobs there can be made separate section for those who are looking for job.it all mixed up then

it's all messed up... :(

i want the old QL back...

Rizks, all your questions are valid, except for the part about your hair.. Ahmad had nothing to do with that, it's your problem LOL.. but seriously, we all hope this will be sorted out very soon, please please please, it's been like 3 days now... :(

Ahmad asking Ahmad were is the points ?

Something fishy.....:(

ahmad.

Where is the POINTS...?

Guyz have patience !

Ahmad is working on it, and very soon u will see a NEW QL with new features etc. so sit back and RELAX or do wat ur paid for in your office ? :)

atleast after seeing the new QL i think i will start growing new hairs on my head ? :(

Missing old QL. Ahmed pls bring back old QL.

assalamualikum.............AHMAD,

OLD is GOLD ,

& can u make the recent posts..........

Okay, I want to modify my age in my profile, how do i do that ??

Great Job Ahmad and appreicate your hardwork for this site.

by the way, why the ID names not indicated next to the Avatar pics ?

Why the comments going out of the Pink boundaries ?

Why all the comments not aligned properly ?

Why the "submitted by....on the top and not in the bottom ?

Why there is not hairs on my head ? :(

Why Why ??

Hi

This site is doing an excellent job. It would be better to have some restriction on classifieds section. As if one person will be allowed to post one or two advertisement in a section for 24 hours or so. I feel many are misusing this part of the site very much. expecting comments in this regards from fellow Qlers.

Thanks

As much as i appreciate change...this is ridiculous. I dont want a "submit a restaurant" option under "my menu" i just dont like seeing that there if I'm not going to use it everyday. When has QL turned into a restaurant REVIEW ONLY website? When did that happen? Also all the comments are showing out of the pink boarder. the reply and edit are all messed up. Waiting for the proper fixes :) Thanks

please just bring it back to the old one.. it was fine the way it was... now everything's mixed up in the recent posts, PM not working, and no buddy list, and most of all NO POINTS... :(

The new format sucks......Its confusing and not userfriendly. Forum topics should be seperated from all the others.

Oh dear. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. What have you done to QL?!

* Where has the recent questions posted box gone from the right?

* I don't like having recent topics, hot topics and recent comments - it's all the same thing to me

* Why is everything suddenly the same font and size? It's boring and confusing - especially the "submitted by" and date before the message - can it go back to the bottom please.

The rest is just a really wierd layout and I guess I'll get used to things but at the moment the classifieds look like there's an error on the page and it's all stretched out because somethings missing.

Please put it back how it was :( I haven't found anything yet that's actually an improvement.

NO POINTS!!!I'm outa here, too.

Mandi

Testing, testing, no points????

Mandi

and i just noticed, we don't get any points for posting comments.. might as well be off to bed.. :/

MJ just be thankful that I am not the one personally fixing it else it will stay like this forever :P

WK, it's already "tonight".. I agree with Xena..

i dont like this version ... prefer the old one ....

I used to avoid the classified section here on QL like the plague, but now it's sooooo much easier to navigate through them and there is such a HUGE selection! I hope this is going to make my home-hunt much easier. I still can't believe some of the deals I've already found.

Looks great, before I couldn't make heads or tails out of the classified section.

Thanks Ahmed (QL Admin) for your kind and prompt response in regards of the price list,,,,,,,

Price of cars on the main search list is a very important issue for selecting.

this new entry of: 'Submitted by....' is confusing...

the old '...... said' was much better as you can see immediately who posted the comment - now you almost have to search for the username:-(

Salaam,

Ahmed, the comments are not fitting well in the pink space it seems misplaced. also rather then submitted by user, the old format of samix said was way better and standard

wa salaam

I received an email saying someone has left me a message, but the link leads me to a QL page 'ooops' even though I am signed in...can't find a link to my inbox anywhere now

Pls help!

Pls help!

folks, as Mod has replied above. hes working on it. the mix of classifieds onto the forum isnt intended. so lets wait for the final version. cheers.

I want my old QL back!!

there's a bug on mine, i can still see people posting crap.

the old design of qatarliving was nice and all ppl are familiar with.

i hope the new version comes with new features and faster.

Thanks

..hope things will be organized soon.

where is inbox???

I Want My Inbox Back, :(

Khattak both of us have too much time on our hands, reading everything :P

WK.....Great Minds think alike ;)

Come On Guys....read the whole thread before posting. Ahmed has already clarified many things..... the classifieds issue would be sorted out by tonight.

Ufff someone read ahmad's post, that issue will be resolved by tonight.

the efforts are appreciated, but the old format was way better.. please don't mix up the classifieds posts with the forum posts, it's flooding the recent posts... :(

can this be restored? was useful..

thanks

can this be restored? was useful..

thanks

ahmad are you alone or it's a team work?

Q/A section is mingled up... under new questions there are old & irrelevant answers.

way too slow, have to wait ages for pages to laod, all way too tedious.

QL is not working for me anymore.

way too slow, have to wait ages for pages to laod, all way too tedious.

QL is not working for me anymore.

I want my old QL back! period.

its all mixed up... become headache!!!

its all mixed up... become headache!!!

Forum Topics only...

This things with the classified being added to it is frustrating, cause all I see are ads and no topics...

I think Stories (group topics) Should also only be seen within the group, not on recent posts too...

Sorry, my two cents worth.

Thanks.

all I could see are accommodations, ads and whats-not?

Where are the topics?

Thanks Ahmad - its working now!!

:(

Cant see menu now or

Where is my INBOX and SIGNATURE line?

Can't see menu, was there in morning when the site was up

If you place your cursor on any New forum, It shows that the forum has got 5000+ or 1000+ comments but in real, it doesn't have that much comments.

this new virsion of QL is annoying..

the old 1 is best..

now even the menu is goooooooooooooooone

Give the guys few more days for the dust to settle.

I am unable to see menu on top but i guess it's being fixed.

i cannot see "My Menu" tab.. and the other tabs

Reduce the size of it na?

The classifieds getting mixed with the recent posts will be resolved hopefully by tonight. Take it easy folks.

Ahmad, Qatar Living

please dont mix up the classifieds on the recent post page. its so annoying. kind request. thanks for considering.

I can't go into LL by clicking on it. Also some other things do not sem to work. I get something about a "meditiation Guru"? Odd, very odd...am not here to do yoga, you know.

the old ql was nice.. this new1 is confusing..

WK has already clarified. :-)

Yes flor you can.

It shows Forum Topic if it's on main forum and story if it's in a group, just like before. To know which group it's under, you have to click on the thread same as earlier.

unless you click the thread itself, that's the only time you'll know that it's either a forum or a certain group' thread.

swissmiss, I can see the photos that you posted on your ad. http://www.qatarliving.com/node/987749

Aside from this advert?

Ahmad, Qatar Living

ebut I don't think most of us like the new QL.We want to see the recent post on STORY ,FORUM but not the recent posts on CLASSIFIED ADS.

We will go to classied if we want to see something on it but other than that we prefer forum topics all the time.Not all of us check classifieds section.

Photos are not uploading on the classifieds... :(

Forum Thread means a thread posted in the Main Forums. Story Thread means a thread posted in a Group.

what is forum and what is story thread. The old format is way way better!

I'm sure we all appreciate your efforts, but sadly the results are less than satisfactory.

Could we program RETENTION PERIODS for postings under classifieds to atleast have the automatic regular maintenance of it.Then, we can unload the database for faster browing I guess. Anyway 1 week of posting could be enough. If unsold and still have the intention to post, just REPOST. It wont hurt you. Also, for those who doesnt care once their item was sold, QL automatic deletion/purging shall do the task.

One thing more, provide a LIMIT on the number of postings per account. Atleast, for those who love posting, reposting, reposting & reposting of the same item just to make their ad on top or in the recent list, they will be forced to delete first their previous AD under their account prior to reposting.

Isnt it good????

ahmed....we'll keep on being "Offensive" till the "flag as offensive" tab is recovered ;)

whyteknight ☺

You know us, we will keep whining ;)

The Classifieds price/image issue is now solved. Working on the other issues, one at a time.

Ahmad, Qatar Living

It is better if your could add "two options" under the Recent Posts bar.

Like this:

Recent Posts

* Forum Topic

* Classifieds

The above will simplify the Recent Posts and will surely help the users.

still QL is unorganized website ... good information .. but bad layout

Oh....I guess its already been in practice..... Bundle of Thanks for that. Ahmed....You ROCK :D

As you are already working on the maintenance & changes...please do change one more thing. When we click on the "new posts" against any thread...it navigates us directly to the new post in that thread...but once the thread enters the 2nd page or multiple pages, it doesnt work and only shows the initial post. Kindly make it possible for every 'new post' if possible. Thanks :-)

Don't want to see classifieds when I click on recent posts, rest is fine.

good day to sir ahmad.. can you create seperate button for my recent post.. and before i can found delete button in adverticement, but now.. the delete button is missing.. please fix it.. thank you..

i totally understand this chaos...

thanks ahmad.... great job

gud wrk....but where is questions tab????

I dont think too many people will waste their time if no price is showing.Why is this?

I appreciate your work but dear its lots of confusing now,,,old version is much better and more friendly but now its really very confusing....Plz do something.....

*Signature line should be there

*Sender information should be on bottom not on the top.

Q. Why now we use SAVE button?

Q. Why the QL points are same even after submit new thread/comments?

old qatarliving was nice (sorry)

can you please create separate 'recent posts' for classified? It's so annoying to see all 'for sales' and 'accommodation' in it....

Don't give false hope to Ahmad.

I don't think more Qlers will be interested to post a topic. Imagine, after posting for just five minutes that post will be in the 5th page.

no prices at classifieds :( :(

Excellent Job Ahmad.. Thanks for updating the site..:)
