Better, than the test site, blander than the past.

[Reever]

It looks much better now than it did yesterday as evidenced by the fact that I don't have a headache anymore while browsing. Or it's because I'm sober now.
Either way, thanks Twiglard.

EDIT: As a side-note, I'm not sure if I'm just being retarded but I can't really tell if a thread has new posts or not. I think I'm supposed to look if it's bolded or not, but it's hard to tell at a glance. The old theme had that yellow icon to tell you if there's something new. I wonder if there's a way to bring that back, at least as an option.

Heads up, you got a bug - subforum threads no longer appear listed in the parent forum, e.g. I just realised the Starfield thread only shows up in the Bethesda category, it no longer shows in General RPG. Nevermind, didn't realise it was a known issue.

 

[Sigourn]

Looks much improved compared to yesterday.

How do you ignore threads and forums?

this is one of the best features of the upgrade: containment

 

[Twiglard]

@Twiglard Not sure what you can do for admins but have a look at the Edit History etc... line in image attached. It ends up pushing everything else out of the container and off screen. Not sure if you can CSS wizard it all into a menu that drops down or put it on a second line that only appears for admins.

It should now wrap to the display width. Unless you specifically want it visible as a separate line.

 

[Nigromancer]

New alerts aren't marked with a yellow star.
It's hard to see the line between the old and the new alerts after you the press bell button.

Would this make them easier to identify?

It's apparently custom functionality and on the todo list.

Background color behind the avatar pictures should be same color as surrounding color so it doesn't break transparent avatars.

 

[Eyestabber]

My avatar has an ugly black bar now. Not even a custom avatar, smh.

 

[Nano]

Looks much improved compared to yesterday.

Still ugly.

 

[Lim-Dûl]

I wonder why don't the dissenters who know everything better fuck right off and create their own awesome forum, hmm? You can do it guys! Then people who don't mind the new design can go over and criticise your stuff for a change.

You should know that this is a fucktarded line of argument.

It didn't have to be like this.

I spent the entire day today fixing CSS locally and the site is nice again.

It could be yours at the price of nothing if only you had a sane admin:

B-but muh mobiles!!

B-but muh mobiles!!

Is this what he's trying to peddle here, that he's butchered it for mobiles? He's lying. It can all look good even on mobiles.

AFAIK it's not a thing on XF2 (at least I've never seen this feature on any forums using XF2) so the functionality has to be coded from the scratch, probably. Gotta love these new software versions with fewer options than the previous, right?

I love what Twig is doing, but can you share your code with him? This looks 10/10.

It's in a neighbor thread. https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/besters-retro-mod.143463/
The code is all there.

How do we change avatars now?

 

[motherfucker]

y'all saying "this shit is mobile-oriented" but in reality it looks the arsest on a phone. How much of the total 1334px of screen height is taken by actual content? Around a quarter of that?

Spoiler

 

[Eyestabber]

Btw, when I click an alert the page isn't loading in the post that generated the alert, but rather a couple posts before that.

 

[JarlFrank]

It's better than before now BUT we should not become complacent, brothers. It is not perfect yet. There is still much left to be done.
Example:

versus:

- the forum headers (RPG Discussion, Gaming Discussion, etc) need a different color and be smaller, also have a gradient rather than flat color
- the speech bubble icons should be replaced with the old orange thingie that showed you which subforums contained unread threads (and grey for no unread threads)
- the threads on the right should have a border around them
- the subforums are missing their descriptions
- the dividing lines between subforums aren't very visible; change them toblack like in the original

 

[Skinwalker]

It's slightly less shitty today.

 

[Zombra]

With horizontal dimension restored, the general look is now fine. It legit took me a couple minutes to notice the fix because logging on this morning felt so natural.

I still want ONE notification when a post receives a ratings - not zero notifications (from me turning it off), and not a ton of notifications if I receive a ton of ratings overnight.

I still want to be able to hover over the number and see who the ratings are from e.g. hover over the 5 in 5 donuts and see who did that.
But you know, maybe it's actually fine to not know who rated you. I can let this go.

Search is kind of working again, but some fine controls are still absent. I can't search just one thread or just one forum, for example. Thread search is a functionality I used to use constantly - will be harder to track conversations without it.

Media embeds seem to be working great.

ublock filters work, i think. havent gone around to updating mine. but it should.
