Nice work with the transition, props to all involved.

 

[FatMax]

Looks great guys.

 

[Scoresman]

Avatars are no longer animated. This is really affecting me.

 

[Sullie]

Love all the changes, definitely well worth a week of vacation, it looks fantastic - nice job!

 

[nirad3]

Soooo one of you that changed the "well-known member" thing wanna let us know how you did it?

 

[bcat01]

You should tell the old company thanks for firing you because the new company's forums are much better.

We didn't. It's old info that was in there before that is now showing up again.

No one wants to see you dog dragging his butt across our screen.
OTOH, my TARDIS light no longer flashes.

Whelp, time to go back to the old board

First upgrade in forum history that not only isn't hated, but actually liked?

Always said it was possible, never thought I'd see the day tho

woah, woah, woah

let's not go overboard here

Your username says it underneath to everyone else, but you still see whatever it was at the old forum.

I guess I never changed mine to anything, because I just see "Well-known member". And that surely isn't the case...

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I like the upgrade too. Thanks to those that put so much time into the transition.

I agree that it would be nice to have the page navigation buttons at the top of the page again.

 

[Zegras11]

When is the grace period over?

 

[Pip's Invitation]

When I see Your Grace in the title, it reminds me of Bridgerton.

What? It gets my wife in the mood, so of course I watch it with her.

 

[Mister CIA]

A+

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

How yall putting pics in? I try with a link and it shoots me down.

See the line of icons at the top of the reply box? In the right-hand group, it's next to the link button.

 

[Mister CIA]

The dark-mode charcoal/searing sun-orange display is pretty amazing on my fancy tablet.

 

[NewlyRetired]

where is the setting to allow more threads on a single page? I can't seem to locate it...

 

[culdeus]

Not really a fan of avatars to left of threads tbh.

 

[Psychopav]

Toot toot!

 

[ShamrockPride]

Not really a fan of avatars to left of threads tbh.

Was about to say I keep thinking Joe is the most recent post and clicking to see what he had to say.

Not a big deal in the grand scheme. I'll just probably ignore those avatars on the left after a while.

 

[Zegras11]

When the grace period passes, would not mine seeing the "similar threads" section go away.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Where else would they be? Are you using a phone, or something?

Also would like the lurkers to be back. It makes drafting much easier.

He's talking about to the left of threads, not to the left of posts. To the left of thread titles, it used to show the black dot or the white corner or whatever. Made it easier to see which topics we'd posted in, rather than having to see the tiny little avatar of our own on the lower right corner of someone else's avatar.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Didn’t the thread’s date of origin used to show under the thread title and name of the OP?

Funny how little I pay attention to small details like that because I’m not sure if that was the case or if I’m imagining it.

Ah, got it. And I'm not a fan, either. I would like the star/dot thingie back. But this is still loads better than the last update. Here's hoping the next few days sort all this out.

You’ll see that if you turn your phone sideways.

Sorry but that's definitely staying. I think that's one of the better new features.

Give it time...

LOL. Seriously, thank y'all for the grace on stuff. That made Keith's life a ton better. He was super worried (since he was doing the work) and I kept telling him how y'all had been so supportive and gracious. Thanks for that.

I do like the new forum. I admit, it's disorienting to see things in new spots after having the old forum so long. But I'm super optimistic about this and glad to be with Xenforo.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Thank y'all. Big props to @Memphis Foundry . This was all Keith.

And thank y'all for the grace on stuff. I'm sure there will be plenty of things folks would like to change or tweak but given it's our busiest time of the year, few if anything will be able to change for the next 60 days or so.

Glad to be back up and thanks for the patience. And thanks for being part of the forums!

Great work @Memphis Foundry !

@Memphis Foundry nailed it

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I second this.

 

[Fat Nick]

I don't know why, but it's actually funnier this way when you know what it used to...do.

 

[AAABatteries]

Maybe I’m missing it but I don’t see the previous page link or the pages number (6 of 6 for example) at the top of the page but only the bottom. Is this a setting or just the new style? Would like to get it back at the top too if possible.

If you really hate them that much, and use AdBlockPlus, you can just block this element and they will go away:

[Nemesis]

Seems my avatar never migrated

 

[Tau837]

I take it there is no way to jump to the first unread post in a thread? That would be a big loss IMO.

[Memphis Foundry]

Yes -- avatars for some OGs who have been around since the early 2000s didn't migrate. I'm working with the xenForo techs to figure this out now -- thanks for providing another test case!

Nowhere. I can just remove those elements. It makes the page busier than it has to be.

 

[culdeus]

Is there a way to make it not go cross forums? i.e. I don't really want to see even the thread titles in the politics forum being similar to FFA subjects?

You can hide that with ABP exclusions too if wanted

Yes, I migrated with just an L but found my picture online.
