Tay Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) This thread used to be three separate threads dealing with A) the IPB 4 upgrade, B) our new theme, and C) Feedback. In a twist that surprised absolutely nobody, this attempt at being organized only fueled the madness and panic that users were feeling in the streets. I have extracted all the information, feedback, and bugs from this thread, and put it in a new one.Therefore: this thread is more or less a decayed corpse of rage and fear. You're welcome to read it and enjoy it, but all discussion on this topic should now go into the new thread. FEEDBACK, ERROR REPORTING, AND INFO IS NOW FOUND IN A NEW THREAD: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLEDFriends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears;On this day, the Eighth of October, twenty fifteen,history was made, and history was reborn!My friends, I bid you welcome…To IPB 4.0 Please report bugs/anomalies here in this thread. IPB 4 gives us a lot more control over aesthetics than IPB 3 did, so if you have design suggestions you can post them here as well. I'd especially like feedback about the text editor, themes, and overall changes.Note: IPB 4 queues a bunch of background processes during installation, so it's likely still combing through the forums updating the database. That means there WILL be "bugs" which will self-resolve after the combing ends. I decided to keep the forums closed to the public until most of those processes were complete, but a few are still running and may give you glitches. Please report them in this thread.

Tay Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Things You'll Probably Love and/or need to know:You can now tag people in posts, just like I'm doing right now: @solidbatmanThe WYSIWYG editor is now an editable ckeditor, which means we can consider adding some of the thousands of ckeditor extensions out thereGravity Green 2013 no longer works with the forums software : (Tons of new email options, including daily/weekly digests, as well as customizing the emails you're receiving (in your User CP)Profiles are now an effective way of tracking your own, or someone else's activityBlogs get some great new blocks to customize their pagesBlogs get new design optionsImporting a feed into a blog now works much better than beforeLinks to stuff like Youtube and Twitter now auto-embedPost drafts now auto-save as you go! (!!!!!one11!!!!!)We've got some new apps to play around withPolls are more dynamic nowMods have many more tools at their disposal to oppress the proletariat massesBlogs can create header images (let me know if you have problems with this!) OptionsWe can now theoretically create Q & A forumsWe now have much more control over aesthetics of the themesWe now have lots of new tools for featuring popular posts, similar content, etc.Tons of new ACP settings Technical ChangesObviously lots of aesthetic changesSome users' had a different log-in name than their public-facing forums display name back on IPB 3. After the upgrade these two were merged together. From here on out you'll simply log-in with your display name (the name that was public-facing before the upgrade).The sidebar on the forums index is now being cached every minute or so, meaning that when you post a new thread, it won't show up on the sidebar for ~a minute Edited October 9, 2015 by Tay The Striker 1
Tay Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Added a new theme to the forums to celebrate the long-overdue fulfillment of prophecy. This one is called "Temporal". It's got a lot of cool features: the background colors will change throughout the day (Night, sunrise, daytime, sunset). The logo at the top isn't anything special, just a placeholder. Maybe we should host a competition for making a new logo for it?Give it a try! Please let me know about any problems you have, or suggestions you have for its improvement.

AaronIsCrunchy Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Aw yeeeeeah, Fuwa's back :3I quite like the new theme, as a whole. Have to zoom out a bit to use it to my liking, and I'd say the changes have made the FuwaFabulous theme look quite boxy and ugly. Just as well Temporal's all nice and pretty, really Looking forward to the time changes!
Mr Poltroon Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 At this point I'd venture to make some witty comment or complaint, but I'm currently too mesmerised and lost to be able to. I'll be back after regaining my composure.
The Striker Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Long time no see a site improve as wellcongratulations for the effort.
Mr Poltroon Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Rooke's Crappy Default Theme seems to be superior over all. It is now my new theme of choice. Darklord Rooke and Tay 2
Clephas Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Mmm... I kind of liked the previous setup better... this setup feels a bit harder to use, since I'm not used to doing everything with my phone like all you young whippersnappers. Tay, Rose and Darklord Rooke 3
Zodai Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Did...FuwaFabulous break? The default Sky Blue color isn't in the customization options anymore, and it's all confusing and stuff Q_Q
Nosebleed Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Topics are being bumped into the recent topics box whenever you post in them. (Just tested with the Nisekoi thread).Hopefully you find a fix for this, otherwise expect chaos.Edit: Can't un-check the "show edit by" option anymore Posted this in the other thread by accident because topic bumping confused me. Tay pls.
Tay Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 Rooke's Crappy Default Theme seems to be superior over all. It is now my new theme of choice.Psh. You would. Darklord Rooke and Mr Poltroon 2
Lewycool Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 What is that background picture... Explain yourself Tay!

Mr Poltroon Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 On the bright side:I'm in love already.That was there before, too. Just incredibly well hidden like every important link on Fuwa. Darklord Rooke, Narcosis and Tay 3
