This had to get posted somewhere, right? :)

I've been waiting for a post about it.  Lets hope the admins change the color/style a bit, the black background on posts sucks, especially with quote boxes also being black.  Thankfully someone already made the links at the top work.

I didn't notice alot of the new stuff, the huge letters on the right side of the main page made me sick.

BTW, you can change this in your profile now (what style the forum uses).

See Profile - > Look and Layout Preferences -> Current Theme (Change)

(clarified for Yoni).

Not yet they can't.  The other theme is really screwed up right now.

Was going to say I didn't see that option anywhere...

Hurray for the Quick-Reply option!

You can turn it on in your profile under "Look and Layout Preferences".

I don't know about new, but it's certainly not sexy.

A fair number of things have changed that I just can't pinpoint. One thing is the text size; it just doesn't fit anymore. I also noticed how the quoted areas were a lot different (fucked up, IMHO) than previously.

I also can't help but notice that the forum feels a lot more sluggish in general. Not only clientside, but serverside too. It's as if a single SMF page takes longer for the server to process than the previous equivalent did.

There is one up-side... I like the quick-reply option; I've liked it in other forums, and I think I'll like it here. Though, the other forums that I've seen a quick-reply box had a quick-reply link too..., where you could click on that link for a post, and it'll fill in the quick reply box with a quote of that message.


Edit: Also, it seems to have removed my (custom) avatar, and decreased the allowed number of characters in your signature (thus it cut the signature I had...).

If you hit "reply with quote" and quickreply is set to "on", it'll do that.

I actually found it loads quicker for me, at least at work (we have a really slow proxy), so I don't know :)

During the update of the forum, it kept redirecting me to fuck.com. Did anybody else get that?

It opens a window for half a second. Nitpicky BS. Don't use the feature if you don't like it.

The custom avatar setting has been changed to allow users the ability to use offsite images.

The sig length has been increased.

Are you aware of how long you made the length of sigs? I know a lot of you have them set unviewable but I leave it on because some people have some cool ones.
But, HoRuS has three graphical sigs stacked on top of each other. And someone else has one that takes up half a screen.

Post by: Skywing on October 13, 2004, 11:21 AM
You could still do that with the previous limit (unless the image links were very very long).

Excessively large or annoying signatures will be dealt with if they become a problem.
