Lucidicide Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Later today, we are going to begin migrating our forum to a newer software. While the migration is taking place, we are also going to point the domain name to the new location. Functionally, this means that our forum will be down for a period of time. Hopefully the transition is fast and smooth, and we'll be back up and running in no time. We think the new forum will be a big improvement, and it provides us with new functionality. Please bear with us as it implements and we all adjust to the new capabilities. Thanks, and see you on The Other Side... (see what I did there? so clever) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 We've moved over to a new server, but the tech guys didn't bother doing the updates as they were supposed to. Needless to say, not a happy person about this. Sorting it now, may see changing here shortly, may not see them for another ten days. Yaaaay for communication and purposeful misunderstandings.

Carcosa Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 You should not have employed guild monkeys working for Lucius then.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Updated the software. We will update the visuals over the next few days.Fully expect there to be quirks that will need to be worked through as well...

Ratty Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 It now should be looking a lot more Wyrd.There are 2 Themes, and 4 backgrounds on each.. Select your Theme in the footer, either Dark (white text on black) or Light (Black on White). Then choose your background from the little paint brush in the top menu. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 You should also be able to @ tag someone (@Mason) to tag someone so they see something, but using it excessively or inappropriately will not be tolerated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewmaster Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 LOOOOVE the new forum look. It also works from my phone to my laptop which is AWESOME... AND I can give you guys money in exchange for stuffs? Best day ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisionVoid Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Love the ability to switch background images. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Ugh....change.Looks great. Gonna take some time for this dinosaur to figure it all out, but it's pretty.What's the little green and red up/down arrows for? I found the 'Mark Site As Read' button, but it doesn't seem to work. I hit it and the next time I hit 'show new' it all came up again...even things that I actually looked at. (Edit) okay, never mind I found the 'filters' section. I assume the green/red arrows are for Like and not like? I'm already really missing the 'back to top' button.

decker_cky Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I think the up and down arrows are upvoting or downvoting a post. If Wyrd really wants to keep those, they should change the image to and . It only makes sense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Very pretty forums, indeed! Hopefully I'll be able to view them at work hehe... I lost that ability like a week ago or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHero Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Anyway you could change the "First Unread Post" icon from grey on black to maybe white on black? Hard to tell visually right now and that is how I check to see there is a new post. Additionally, the "Faction Discussion" speech bubble on the main home page doesn't seem to update each time one of the faction's discussions gets posted in.

Pyrflamme Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Two suggestions:It looks like posts are semi-transparent across themes and background, which is a little visually jarring for me. I'd like to have the posts be solid color (no background bleedthrough) for reading purposes. Did I miss an option that will let me do that?For those using the light theme, the Report Post button blends into the post frame unless you're directly hovering over the post, in which case it becomes a touch darker and more visible. I'd adjust it so it's a bit darker to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Is anyone else having issues with quotes? It doesn't seem to be distinguishing them anymore, making some of the posts a bit wonky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carcosa Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Is anyone else having issues with quotes? It doesn't seem to be distinguishing them anymore, making some of the posts a bit wonky.it looks like that is currently affecting pre-migration posts, I noticed that last night.

Omenbringer Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Probably should have been more specific huh? Was talking about the older "pre-migration" posts. Any chance those can be fixed or has the ship left the dock for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Last I saw some things were still migrating. Give it a day or two to shake out. Hopefully it'll work out/be fixed by greater minds than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Back doesn't fully work between pages of a thread in Chrome. E.g. if I start on page 1, go to page 2 and hit back I stay on page 2, if I hit back a second time I get to the topic list however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 There doesn't seem to be the option to get into the old UI for writing an answer (the one where you can manually write the BBCode and so on). I find this highly inconvenient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
