Tay Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) NEW FEATURES WORTH MENTIONINGYou can tag other forums users in your posts. Just write “@” and then their username, and wait a bit – a menu will pop up allowing you to choose the user.Our WYSIWYG editor is more stable and MUCH more moddableProfiles are now much more dynamic and have a neat new follower systemBlogs now have a lot of new design options and content blocks. Importing feeds SHOULD work better than before, too.We can now create Q & A forums if there’s a reason for oneLots of back-end improvements that lets us easily change a ton of things around the forumsPeople have now discovered the “Mark Site as Read” button(Mods, admins, literally anyone who has editing powers here – feel free to add other good stuff here)The forums sidbar updates every 60 seconds, so freshly new topics may not show up immediately. Just give them a minute, and they'll appear.BUGS/PROBLEMS(Green text indicates an issue is resolved or fixed)THEMES1. New Forums Theme Called “Temporal”Any interest in making a different logo/hosting a logo competition for it?Background Images: If you click on the paintbrush (the design menu) you can choose between a few background images. If you want different ones, get the rights to (or written permissions for) a nice image and then contact me : P2. FuwaFabulousIf there are colors you want me to add back into the color picker, go get the hex colors from the Wayback Machine and send them to me. These sorts of changes are obnoxious, so we need to share the pain.3. All ThemesIndex page sidebars are not properly ordering new posts - FIXEDAvatar sizes are weird and strict. Tay or Nay needs to figure out where in the ACP you can relax the rules (both on dimensions and size, probably)For some reason there isn’t a space between “Location” and the user’s designated “location” on the user profiles (and user info boxes next to posts)Find out if it’s possible to hide chat bubbleIt’s EASY to narrow the functional part of the forums (see how there are sections of background to the right and left of the forums content?). Right now we’re using 90% of the screen space for the content. If you want me to lower that, I will drop it to 85%. Before I do so, however, someone should personally (or convince Eclipsed to : P) agree to make a poll for feedback on this changeCan’t hide sidebar: sorry, Lewy : (. Anybody had any luck hiding it? (Note: if you have designer access (like ACP access people or GMs), DO NOT DELETE THE CONTENT BLOCKS)My Content” button is gone. Need to figure out what replaced it.4. “Gravity Green 2013” Theme is no longer supported by its dev and was not upgraded to support IPB 4. That’s why it’s missing. The dev has no plans on upgrading it. FORUMS APPFix avatars limitsLikes are currently anonymous. This is not acceptable. FIXEDNotifications are not working like they used to. Need to figure out the best way to establish user settings to make them more useableThe old friends system is goneNote to self: Let user groups get the “ghost edit” permission set FIXEDNotifications options are restricted to everybody. What’s up with that?Recent visitors on profile pages are limited to one, meaning it will always show you and no one else, making it an effectively useless feature. FIXEDMake Profiles default to the “About Me” pageProfile pages aren’t prominently displaying user’s last status messageNo full editor feature when editing a post (?)Profile pages – customization options?Is there no longer an option to preview posts before posting?Does the user receive a notification when they are tagged with @?Is the "go to first unread post" option gone on the thread page?Auto line skip when pressing enter is a little annoying.You can't see all of the emoticons unless you type a single character into the search fieldNew messaging system lists participants triggers Nosebleed’s OCD and is literally Hitler.When you go to "edit my profile" the box to edit your interests is incredibly small. You can only see two(?) lines of text at a time and IIRC it was larger before.Reporting a member (not a post, the actual member) seems to be goneRaw BBCode editing is absentSpoiler tag in chat is absentA link to the front page is absent (< this was on purpose, Maef. I have to fix two menu items before I can turn it back on. The Home button is made and everything, just need to get things ready for it, first)Spoiler BBCode as it exists now doesn’t work as well as the last one. Ex: You need to delete an entire spoiler if you want to delete it because to the BBCode problem. Since you can't edit raw code, you have to copy content, delete all spoiler and then paste.Impossibility to reset font size automatically (size 14 btw, old one was 12 IIRC)Be able to change your star ratings on blogs, etc.Image compression screwed up some images in blogsCan’t add headers to articlesBlog header images messed up due to difference in formattingNeed report option in chatNeed some rich text editing features in the chatNow, when I click on sidebar topics [even the ones I've never read before], it takes me to the latest post of it, instead of the last seen [or first], which is pretty annoyingZaka says: if you edit an off-site blog post that's RSS linked the new one gets pulled and you have a lovely double post to deal with. I'm not sure if this is preventable, intended, or needed in general. Zaka doesn’t make any sense. What Zaka means is that imported feeds are at risk of doubling up. Tay understands Zaka. Tay will look into this.Incorrect posting permissions for some forums - FIXED (Link)The post preview when hovering over topics is neat, but it seems kind of buggy. Specifically, when clicking between "First post" and "Latest post" it sometimes closes itself. Inconsistent Line SpacingPossible: text under the quote in some posts disappear?Donations Link Not Working (On purpose)Rooke's Theme Broken - Yaaay! Working on itLikes back to anonymous FIXED (hopefullyFuwa Recognition Blog RSS broken on other sitesFlash of red before colors reload on FuwaFabulousUsers can Post threads in TL Projects Forum FIXEDThere's no longer a "Back to top" button underneath every postThe chat option in the Ignore user settings is removedChat has no longer a pop-up option Chat is smaller compared to before, also the avatars no longer shows up in the chat messages.Profile cover photo is now extremely small, compared to before, really annoying. Although, the upload for the cover photo is improved.The message feed in the small box is gone, which is annoying. Please put that back.Ghost Editing showing up for staffClear Formatting Button FIXED Edited October 10, 2015 by Tay Keeping up with all the feedback Mr Poltroon, Darklord Rooke, LiquidShu and 2 others 5 Quote

XReaper Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) exactly like i said, i cant write anything in those threads/topics of theirs, except for editing olden stuff of mine.edit: & i´m logged in, just for references... Edited October 10, 2015 by XReaper Quote
Fiddle Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Concerning notifications which you said were all-around screwy, I might as well mention that I get a notification every time I get a message--that is, I get a notification both under "Notifications" and "Messages" for the same thing--which is obviously rather redundant. It doesn't seem to be able to be disabled (I don't feel like rephrasing the previous several words) under notification options: "The administrator has disabled this option from being toggled." Edited October 10, 2015 by Fiddle Quote
XReaper Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 since i´m still unable to reply to anything there i updated my status feed (not that anyone ever read those, though) Quote

Zakamutt Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 With my 1920x1200 monitor, the Recent Visitors box on Tay's profile is actually showing me six (6) people. Technology! Tay 1 Quote
Decay Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Can confirm all things. Actually recent profile visitors is going up to 7 for me. Tay 1 Quote
Decay Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (making this a new post so tay sees it)The post preview when hovering over topics is neat, but it seems kind of buggy. Specifically, when clicking between "First post" and "Latest post" it sometimes closes itself. Tay 1 Quote

Not something I'll be able to fix, but something to compare against after 4.1 comes out at the end of the month. Quote
Deep Blue Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 sucks that it doesnt collapse or scroll so you can add more posts but 8 it's ok thanks tay Quote
Mugi Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Aside from losing a few posts on my post count, putting me under 500 again, the changes are great. I really like that you can upload basically any picture to use an a profile image now, before you would have to either find a picture that fit the requirements or downscale the image you were trying to use. Have an in-built crop system is godly for people like me who like to change their profile picture like they change waifus. Quote

So you can make posts like this. Deep Blue and Darklord Rooke 2 Quote
LiquidShu Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) [/spoilerSomething seems wrong here...Under "more" drop down box at the top of the page, the donations link doesn't seem to be working. I click on it and it doesn't do anything. Anyone else experience this? Edited October 10, 2015 by LiquidShu Quote
sanahtlig Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Rooke's theme seems to be broken. I had to switch to Temporal to get the forum to display properly again. Quote
Decay Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Likes appear to be back to being anonymous. Quote
