I really don't like that it doesn't have the preview pictures anymore.
You can (or will be able to, hopefully) preview the entire thread. That's much much much more useful than the preview tags and because of this, the preview tag has absolutely no use now.

@Valodim: it should work, you need to type two @@ followed by the name and a colon (that pattern is not

Ah, cool. I see the technical need for the double-@, but why did you decide to use a trailing colon as well? I think people rather use @User1 @User2 than @User1,User2: not only because they are used to that from twitter

The preview screenshot was more on the spot though since the thread poster had control exactly over what to show there. I might bring it back if I find a nice way in the layout, but low prio for now.

i disagree, barring the fact that thread preview doesn't work, the current setup takes more time to get an idea of what the thing is, therefore it's less practical. you previously needed to hover over a small icon to get a preview image and now you'd need to hover over the thread title, click on preview, wait for the thread to load, and close it by clicking. you might as well just click the thread link at that point

Eh, I guess. I never really used the either preview function or the tags anyway. :_blank:


Smiley window doesn't disappear when you've selected a smiley. While this could be useful in some cases, the vast majority of times it should immediately close upon smiley selection, IMO.

actually, after a bit of browsing I second edward's complain, thread titles(which are used for tab titles in web browser), appearing as "The mugen fighter's guild - thread title" is bad for those of us who do multitab browsing, sicne now all tabs just read "the mugen figh .." or something that does not tell you which tab has which thread open, while using only the regular thread title would give you a chance to know which tab has which thread when you have multiple tabs open.

No special reason for the @@*: pattern, since it will be customizable anyway. Though we need to separate with a ',', because usernames can, in theory, contain spaces.

The coolest thing would probably be a small popup with auto-complete ability since we already have this functionality for the buddy list.

Useless:
i figure this feature is useful in forums with little activity but it's absolutely not needed here

cynic?

Like tiltin described what i meant, that feature is useless. It does not hurt anyone but designwise its useless crap.

The biggest mistake is still the too bright and small font , especially for threadnames



seriously. All in all, the introduction of the new theme was a fail. It should have been tested by more people probably and for a longer time.

Well I didn't want to disable that because I'm not sure if there are any other type of notifications that I might need in the future, but I guess I'll disable it for now. Thanks.

I saw that when you are on your profile, exactly in "Summary", the logo is there, but when I go to "show stats", "show content" etcetera "The Mugen Fighter Guild" is written in black fonts.

Yup, because nobody is going to read this long list :)

Or at least make it so we can collapse it.

I really like the avatars thingie before the threads, but isnt it a little redundant then to have the icon that we've posted in the thread?

I think it's fun.  It's keeping all of us off the streets and out of trouble.

Yes, it is :)

There will be more profile options to customize various layout things in the future (including avatars and where they should/should not appear and such).
