Doulifée Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 look like you can like your own post. very funny. Also there are two 'location field' on the profile. One who display below the avatar and the 2nd one that loook like a remnant of the old profile. Anorax and Brandon Strader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindWanderer Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The [thread=40687]thread[/thread] BB code tag apparently isn't supported. The actual thread numbers seem to have been retained, though. Testing to see if the post tag is also broken: Edit: Guess it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Keep in mind, this isn't an upgrade of one version of the software to a newer version of the same software. This is a migration from one forum software package to an entirely different software package. Some things are going to just work differently. djpretzel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Note: this forum software has a mobile version Finally! Complaint: all the PMS I deleted are back. I don't want them & this is some NSA level BS ad.mixx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTiger Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yeah, this is pretty sick. Loving the custom avatar option, the "like" button (I think), and the mobile version, for sure. Will take some getting used to, but should be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Stylish. Soooo much space. So much scrolling. I miss the ability to login without having to click a login link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorax Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 So, question - why is the /forums/ url still technically running? You can even log in (but you can't do anything once you log in, obviously). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Site looks pretty slick. Just a matter of getting used to all the new features and the look. This is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-wix Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Digging it so far! Seems like theres a lot of changes - going to need to take some time and really see what's new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Wooow... I have a warning point from 2013 for insulting someone while talking about the PS4, and I have never been able to read that until the new forum.... Now I look like some kind of forum criminal cause I got a warning point and everyone else has like 500 facebook likes, reinstagrams and twitter gold. How do I find the artist profile link? I use that ALL the time to listen to peoples' music when I click on their link and see their mixes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 99 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Bring back the old forums, and the sidebar, and all the mixes that were removed! These new forums are legit in all seriousness. Mirby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Damned Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I noticed that sometimes, animated gifs used as persoanl avatars don't properly animate. They stick to the first frame on some pages, but will work fine on others. It may just be my end being dumb, but jut a heads up. Also, I can use my old (as in ancient) animated avatar from, like... 1999. IT'S THAT OLD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Animated avatars aren't really supported, because Invision makes a 100x100px copy of your User Picture for usage around the forums, and only uses your actual uploaded file on your profile page.

djpretzel Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Any links to youtube videos *posted as purely links* so far are displaying a youtube embed; should just be listed as a regular link to minimize load times. It's unfortunately an either/or thing, and I personally prefer the auto-embedding. In fact, I want to enable SoundCloud embedding as well - I think folks will get a lot of use out of it. Ideally this would be a user preference, and users could choose to disable auto-embedding based on their personal preferences. Hopefully such functionality will eventually be available to us, but until then, my inclination is to leave auto-embedding enabled. On the old forums I used the default thread setting of newest post first, but I can't find a way to change back to this. Is it possible to do so? Otherwise this is looking really good! Unfortunately, this does not appear to be an option. Did we just got back 5 years of deleted PM's? So there's no limit to the number of PM's you can send/recieve? There's still a limit - we've bumped it up to 300. It also seems that IPB just does private messages a bit differently, and that the conversion script may have had to make some guess/compromises based on differences between how vBulletin did things and how IPB does things. Found an issue; there's no way of knowing which forum members are OC Remixers. Working on this as it is rather critical/core functionality. Shouldn't take too long! So, question - why is the /forums/ url still technically running? You can even log in (but you can't do anything once you log in, obviously). That's been fixed as of today, though certain areas within vBulletin are still accessible. We won't be removing it completely until we see which areas are still getting hit by users/search engines/etc. and decide where best to redirect that traffic. Thanks to all for chiming in with feedback & issues - please continue to do so! And yes, I know change is rough for some of you. Takes me awhile to adapt as well. 2015 is going to bring still more change to the site, so it's not over. Hopefully, by the time the year is out, we'll be fully modernized & stable and you can then safely get used to things with the expectation of longer-term consistency. Until then, it's going to be a relatively bumpy ride, and your patience & tolerance for change is appreciated. We'll do everything we can to make sure issues are addressed, and (staff can vouch for me), this migration was something that chewed up a lot of my personal time and that I prepared for extensively.
