"The New Forums Are Shit" Mk 2

[Gedan]

Okay, let's do this shit alll over again.

Gonna probably aim toward this for the apperance (I actually think thats the skin that Darknest is using these days too...) as the basis to save myself time.

Need to sort mail out.

I haven't looked through a lot of the old posts, but I assume some things will have gone a bit sideways. Multiple-question polls for one, and I assume the Q&A style forum will have bombed itself.

Good news tho; the post editor is a lot less shit, also there's a preview button.

 

[Wsan]

Ha ha an actual post editor

Praise be unto space dragon

 

[Number13]

We at least are able to delete posts we don't like now, so that's at least good.

 

[Gardeford]

magic

 

[Ormael]

So do we still have some way to mark selected subforum marked as read just like was it before? Generaly new forum looks... different so it would req. some time to get used to this. Let hope it will be truly step in the right direction made by Gedan ^^

There's a small blue dot next to each thread which one hasn't read. It disappears if all posts have been read, and reappears for new posts.

And it looks like the creators, administrators, etc, need to regain their profile colours again (e.g. red for administrators).

 

[Ormael]

Well the custom ranks for everyone was moved without trouble at least. Still need to see what would be effect of adding Like option ^^

@Gedan probably will make some unhappy or happy but I got to ask out of curiousity: would getting warning points works as before with them been perm?

 

[Gedan]

Custom group styling is better supported, I just have to set it up rather than it being a total hackjob.

Warning points maybe got brought over, idk. I'm more concerned with having a bunch of other shit that doesn't piss me off tho.

Case in point: I can let everybody have signatures now, because theres an option to force signatures to be collapsed by default!!!!

 

[Gedan]

Also the style editor isn't a total crock of shit holy fuck.

 

[Ormael]

Ok another derpy question ^^
I notice button "mark forums read" so does it mean it will mark as read whole forum or jsut specific subforums? I not wanna yet mark whole forum by accident since before I get used to new style I would be forced to check many threads last reply date to find threads I yet want to read -_-'

PS. Nice work on making our forum prittier Gedan

 

[Gedan]

I think it works based on your current view of the forum. Maybe.

 

[Etis]

Hm...
The good: BBCode!
The bad: No way to config timestamps on posts.
The ugly: Orange on gray? My eyes are gonna bleed...

 

[Mightykitten]

Xenforo is good and well every forum has it cons (but thank you for keeping the data!)

You can use the default theme (WHITE WHITE TOO WHITE, WAIT TOO BRIGHT)

 

[shadefalcon]

Not a huge fan of the color. This will probably take some time getting used to.

The like system is also pretty dangerous. Now I will actually realize when my jokes are bad...

And I miss the old ranks

 

[Woider]

Gotta admit, never a huge fan of layout changes. And this is no exception.

 

[Milkman]

Praise the code dragon! I can finally delete quote boxes on mobile! Heh that alone makes this change a vast improvement to me.

 

[Dualitas]

To be fair, there's no "Dislike" button, so that's a plus, isn't it?

However, on the flip side, some of these emoticon conversions look worse, in my opinion.

Except this one: . I don't think this one even existed on the old forum.

Now I just need that suicide smiley and my life will be complete for that moment.

 

[Ormael]

Sooo any of you know if tagging system working in some form still? So far I think old way with using @ seems to not be working or I doing something wrong now :/

 

[ThatOneJester]

Don't work yourself to death, and remember to get some sleep!!!
All work and no play-
Sorry, that is too old of a reference... T .T

 

[Kesil]

I am having problems with "Your Content". For some reason, the search ignores everything I posted except the messages I have typed on this new forum incarnation so far. Hell, all the contents are somehow those messages now.

 

[EmperorG]

Oh gods a new forum layout, the horror!

I hate change, and this is gonna take some time before I become accustomed to it. The orange on black is a bit off though, doesn't work as well as it would on say a Cerberus cruiser. The new like system and ability to get sigs is interesting, though hopefully it doesn't lead to troubles later on. At least the old-new forum setup lasted a year and then some.

 

[Zavos]

This new forum is weeeiiirrrd.

[Woider]

Yeah, the lack of visual and audio alerts throws me off.

 

[Noob Salad]

nd mark forum read
geddy pls

 

[Nik_van_Rijn]

nd mark forum read
geddy pls

It's there tho...

 

[Noob Salad]

Oh god, okay, I finally found it. It was on the top left and I kept looking anywhere but. It's a bit inconsistent though.

In other news I have a 4K screen and this auto width is killing me.

 

[Archangel99]

Yeah. Even Floozer was complaining about the lack of the bling notification sound. I never had it since I use a phone, but I could understand the feeling.

TFW being a laptop peasant has an upside for once.
...
But then I go to google docs and can't find ToC insertion because it gets cut off by the screen unless I zoom out in a browser.

 

[Ormael]

Indeed mark as read is weird. One need to get in specific subforum to mark it as read instead of doing it from outside this subforum. Well few more days wil be Geddy doing her best to not crash whole forum and yet trying to please vocal and complaining part of forum...or ignoring this part complains

Welp still feel odd without way to tag people in posts (quoting or replying will either way forum make whole post put inot quote marks -_-').
