New question : forum update is cool on the admin point of view. Does it offer new things in the user point of view ?
Luis Alejandro said, February 22, 2011, 04:08:07 pmLast time I checked soiler didn't work on my sig. Also I can see my post count yay.Actually isn't working right now, guess they are gonna add it to the options cause can't see it and I just posted at the Spanish thread if the forum was updated
Yeah, I rather have spambots fuckin up the website and hacking my account, than not being able to call people by their original e-names.
^A visual representation of my current forum experience.It's like Val turned the car real fast and everything just kind of flew to the left side of the screen. Edit: FEAR THE BLUEBOX MORTALS

I love the Simple Machines Forum logo. I love it so much.It's weird, just before the update, I was going to randomly post saying I love the 'spoiler' tag, but now it's gone
— No original profile names— No spoilers— No spoiler hotkey [ It's the ONLY one missing on my end ]— No ""New posts in an already read topic"" notice— No ""New posts in a never read topic"" notice— No legend for ^ EITHER of thoseAnd probably moreCrap update

hi the forum software was updated which means that all those mods were disabled and valodim will fix them eventually. this same exact thing happened some months ago. until then:
usetheforcehan said, February 22, 2011, 11:31:21 pmPatience my young Padawan. Admin is doing their best fixing those flaws (i hope).Nah.Just saw Val and Iced walking into a movie theatre.Slackers aren't doing shit.
QuoteAdmin is doing their best fixing those flawsI can be 9999999 % aware of that [ Which I am ], and still call it crapI know they're working hard to ""restore order"", and I commend / respect that, but I can still give an opinion on the current state of the updateWhich is, it's crap [ I'm sure just about EVERYONE else agrees anyway ]I know that's rather crude, but it isn't like I DIDN'T point out things that are out of order / should be examinedThere's a difference between critiquing the content, and critiquing the creator and their efforts
Dude, you are taking this way too seriously. Just wait. Valodim has done this plenty of times and will get to reinstalling the mods and stuff we he gets the chance. The forum you're using right now is not a complete update, it's an update in progress; have some patience and be more understanding.
It looks... weird, but I guess its cause Im used to the old layout. The new replies thing is still there, its just on the left side.
Geez. I spent three hours doing stuff, and I'm going to do the rest eventually over the next few days. I've got other things to do you know.
Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future said, February 22, 2011, 07:25:41 pmOh god this update is horrible.I can't see people's original names when I hover my mouse over them!AW FUCK

Not even a little? Honestly I could live with all these changes being permanent, but I'm happy that they're not.

I understand it's temporary but to answer your question Cy the experience is absolutely horrible from a user's POV.

Let me tell you something: You save this post, on your hdd. Or write it down on a post-it and stick it on your monitor. Then wait five years, and read it again. You'll see
it's one thing to point out flaws in the forum and another thing to point out all the missing mods that are missing because of the software update and call it crap even though valodim is completely aware of all the missing features and spends time implementing them againso quit being an ungrateful shithead
QuoteRight. Let me tell you something: You save this post, on your hdd. Or write it down on a post-it and stick it on your monitor. Then wait five years, and read it again. You'll see Dude you're responses are far too polite. I seriously don't know why people are bitching. Val knows what's wrong and he said he'll fix it with time. Sit back, shut the fuck up and wait.
I don't understand how voicing our complaints is being an ungrateful shithead :/ are we no longer entitled to criticize the forum? That's exactly what happened with Mugen Infantry. Do you want MFG to go down the path of Infantry?
Uh, I don't think any of you know all the work required to properly update forum software, especially if the forum has custom modifications.So yeah, I do think you guys are being pretty damn rude, especially considering the fucking forum got updated just today. :|
you're complaining about missing features that we are aware of and are being worked on by valodim. they're several mods. it takes timeand thanks for the comparison to infantry where issues like stability and mediocre staff decisions are hardly addressed, if at all
we were waiting for more than 10 years, fuck it.Tayne said, February 23, 2011, 01:55:21 amFIX IT FIX IT FIX ITNOW NOW NOW
quit bitching. you people are lucky he even took the time to make the changes. heck, he could have taken the forum offline until the fixes were made too.in short, be grateful for what you got. if it helps, think back to a month ago when forum was offline days at a time.
Anyone know if the name hover is a mod or not. Because if it is not, then good luck trying to ban Shamrock, I mean, Icequeen, I mean, professor X, I mean, ldasjlhdfjladsvq.

Just a short notice to keep you guys up to date. I have just finished watching Alice in Wonderland (the new Tim Burton one), and will now proceed with going to bed.
was it any good? I was thinking if i should watch it, but im kinda burnt out on burton , he keeps doing the same shit over and over again.
very acceptable. don't expect any surprising twists or anything, it's simple yet entertaining. great movie to watch with kids.
Iced said, February 23, 2011, 03:21:27 amwas it any good? I was thinking if i should watch it, but im kinda burnt out on burton , he keeps doing the same shit over and over again.Burton gets a pass forever for me because of Batman Returns.
O.X.E. said, February 23, 2011, 04:59:24 amSpeaking of Batman I'm surprised Joe Schumacher wasn't publicly executed for Batman and RobinA BAT CREDIT CARD?!?!?! I'LL KILL YOU!!! *Goes on a shooting spree*Anyway, I'm not complaining about the new updates too much since it seems to have been done for me. Also, I'm kinda glad that no one can see my original username when they place their pointer on my current name, I've been trying to ditch that old identity of MugenFreak30 as it did nothing but make false promises, and request crap like crazy. Guess even with changing my display name to my preferred identity, I'm stuck with that name unless I made a new account.
I totally forgot the filter thing was a mod. ALSO, the dropdown thing where you can hide your profile info at the top of the page is really sweet.
To everyone who thinks the update is crap.

you should've taken e's advice when he told you to drop guild and treat yourself to cheesburgers and beer
Question... Are you guys getting paid to keep this forum running or is it coming out of your own pockets? If not, I see no reason for anyone to be complaining about anything. More like we are lucky to see this site still up and running for how long as it been.
Well some people donate money from time to time, but for what I know it mostly comes from Val's pocket.//edit: ok, I can now see who the hell are you people by moving the cursor over your names, so everything is fine for me. Thank you.

Thank you.It just gets to me when all you hear is complain complain and complain. How about "how can I help? is there anything that I can do". Just annoying. Whats gonna happen is that its gonna get to Val one day and he is going to say F it and you come to find the site off line. Then what are you going to do? I dont know how much he pays for this to stay up but times that for 10 years if he has been doing it for that long.
SHHH dont call his attention to that or he will realize he could be paying for blackjack, blow and hookers with the site money!! >:C

Oh by the way, not sure if anyone noticed but the Spoiler code isnt working. still shows everything as of the followingSpoiler, click to toggle visibiltytarget[spoiler/] you see it just like that with it not hiding anything.

changed some header stuff. I'm not sure how it was before, but I think I got close.Probably still has some weird layout errors. Hand me a screenshot when you see one
Now for spoilers to be fixed and everything will be nearly back to normal.EDIT: Section moderator star still shows up as a green block
There's a crapload of empty space at the top where the elements used to be side by side.http://i.imgur.com/VP0Nl.pngEdit: Damn that was fast, it's fixed now.
Is there a reason I would want to shrink the header? That little thingie doesnt bother me there, but I was just wondering.
Hey doom master. He will need to know what browser you are using.Val, I can reproduce his results if I zoom in with chrome at 140% zoom, otherwise it looks fine.
I've tested it, and it seems it depends on the size of your computer screen. I tried it in a smaller one and the most I got is that the bottom part of the logo was covering all the options (by options I mean "Home", "Help", ...). If it helps, my screen resolution is 1440x900 and my screen size is 19". That problem never happened to me before with that resolution, btw.
Purple said, February 25, 2011, 04:05:19 amregular mods' stars, spoilers, mcode tag icon. anything else missing?Global moderator's star. The NEW thing on updated topics is kinda redundant too.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyYou shouldn't be able to see this if the tag works.If you could read it, the spoilers aren't working.
