Forum Update Discussion

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 6:19 pm

Considering it hasn't even been a day since the forum update, and people are still signing on and seeing it for the first time, I figured I'd make another thread for discussing it.

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1081367-its-back/
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1081382-its-back-%232/
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1081410-its-back-%233/
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1081430-its-back-%234/
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1081445-its-back-%235/

If you don't like the forum update, look through http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1081383-forum-skins/ thread for ways to make it more bearable.

And if you see a bug with the new update, report it http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1081469-bug-report-thread/.

Wor yes I just discovered the messenger that's a nice feature. Profile comment enabling. Hmm sure that will be a good idea? :lol:

You can set it so that you can approve or disapprove comments before they become posted on your profile page.

Bah, that is what the paranoid people do. I don't care if people want to post something random on my comment section. If they post something bad, I will just delete it :shrug:

Noticing more improvements as time goes on! Underneath the number of replies, the thread view count is back! Wasn't there a couple minutes ago.

My eyes aren't hurt by this, I'm just having a lot of trouble navigating and browsing topics. I liked the simplicity of the old forum, this is just too much of a change for me.

Seems that way to me

Yeah it doesnt hurt my eyes so much anymore, the load time is getting better for me too. i guess i just didnt want such a big change, simple isnt bad if thats why they did it. Simple was great. i miss my old forum here D:

on another topic i still love the "Halloween text"

Yeah,appears they changed the text a bit and also the background for posts.

Am I doing somthing wrong,or is the personal picture thing not working right now?

I think I remember seeing somthing about this earlier today,but I don't feel like reading all 1,000+ posts to find out.

Probably a stupid question, but where can I see my overall posts? I like to keep track of how long it is until my next rank.

Ah, thank you.

Yes. Otherwise all of our ranks would be screwed up right now.

I noticed that, too. Wasn't sure if it was just my eyes or what.

I tried putting something there but it didn't work for me.

Has anyone figured out if it's possible to archive messages in the Messenger thingie? I have all my folders sorted, even though the Sent folder has vanished, but can't figure out how to archive and email old messages to myself. Like I used to.
Clicking on the ? up on the top bar next to Logout has a section for it, but no instructions. I guess if that's a feature that won't return I'll be switching off my PM box.

I liked the old style better, but I'll admit that I'm not a big advocate of changing things that I like. And ever since the "update" my signature has been a lovely shade of gray. Yippie.

I noticed there were no PM archiving options either. I'll add that to the list of questions we have for the admins.

As a general comment - yes, it's very new and different - we are noting feedback on many issues or complaints. It may take some time for things to get straightened out, and for all of us to get used to some of the changes, so just be patient for a while.
