Loving this new forum

Is it just me or is anyone else think that this is a great step in the right direction. The one and only issue for me is that when logging in the first time i had over 100 unread posts with most of them being old ones frome last year that I had read.

I am loving it (will be better when it gets the proper formatting) and the unrestricted image size is just :ok_hand:

Yeah the mass import of posts upsets the read/unread stuff. Also a few peoples BB Formatting upset the import so I had to turn it off in places. Hence a few posts have [size=150] noise.

But once all that settles down, it is pretty awesome.

I’m old and set in my ways, it will take a while to get used to it :cold_sweat:

Just wondering why I don’t have my supercharged badge as I payed for the supercharged edition

Looks like my badge import is not error free. I’ll fix it.

Ok, you should have the badge now. If you click on your Icon in the top right, Preferences, Click on the Pen/Edit icon next to title. You can display the Badge next to your name in posts.

Will the BBCode formatting stuff be all resolved, and will font colour functionality be restored? Also, what about the files we directly attached to the previous forum? I colour coded and used a lot of size and quote tags so I imagine my posts were more troublesome than most :stuck_out_tongue: I’m not fussed if that doesn’t get resolved, though. I’ll work with whatever’s most practical.

BBCode that is exposed will have to be fixed by hand. A few posts failed so had to turn the BBCode converter off in places.

I’ll take a look at text colouring. Most file attachments should of come over too. A few may of failed here and there.

this is a test post to do some colours

I want some [color=#ff0000]RED[/color]

Ok this seams to [bgcolor=blue][color=yellow]WORK[/color][/bgcolor] all though not in the preview :frowning:

Look at my [color=red]red words[/color] and be amazed! Also, [color=#33ff33]green is cool[/color] too.

Works for background colors too!  This is your [bgcolor=yellow]typical yellow highlight[/bgcolor], and [bgcolor=blue] [color=white]you can mix em[/color] [color=red]up, you know?[/color][/bgcolor]

@strop it seams to work.

That’s good to know, now I can make the Colourfuls

[color=pink]sweet[/color] as bru, even in hexadecimal. And it’s now showing up [bgcolor=green][color=black]correctly[/color][/bgcolor] in the preview too.

Loving it!

And, FINALLY the “like” button!!! :doughnut:

Question first, will you (devs) also port last posts to old forum?

I will need some time to adapt but there are some really nice stuff like bookmarking the post and “live” compiling… and more modern looking material design really looks fine.

Kudos to folks constantly improving our automation experiance!

I have to get used to this new graphics… Seems interesting though

Gonna take a while to get used to it, but I’m also having to admit, I like the linear format. No pages, just keep scrolling down until you get where you wanted to go. Makes things easier when I’ve got to reference something that happened a few posts back.

So, despite there being no indicators in the editor, BBCode should still work?

This is a test

Okay, that looks like it does indeed work. Also like the fact that you can resize the reply panel.

Certainly is going to require getting used to. It’s a cool new design though. Also KHT thread needed a serious revamp to look better :slight_smile:

The new reply system is really slick, it’s much more comfortable to me.
I love the new graphics and layout as well!

:blue_car: beep beep i’m a car.

Well, some things are an improvement (I love the linear layout, the dynamic post preview and the spambots will likely screw off)

Some things will require getting used to (the graphics)

Some things are plain atrocious (The forum only uses like, 50% of my screen width. Meaning 2 times more scrolling than necessary. As far as I know, it’s even worse at 4K)

tbh. it’s horrible.

  • horrible graphic design
  • even worse to get to the information you want (like you have to hover over a stupid picture to see who posted last, instead of just reading “strop”)
  • horrible layout. What are you guys using? a Tablet or a Smartphone? Well i’m using a 16:9 inch display, and about 80% of the space is unused!

at least it’s now “modern” and “fresh” and Hipsters with their Iphones can now surf better.
