Better, than the test site, blander than the past.

Quoting seems painfully clumsy now. Too many clicks, especially if you want to reply to just one particular part of a post.

This is going to come as a revelation to you, but we've had one-click replies with quote for about 10 years or so now. Simply select any part of the text that you want to quote in a post and click on the "Reply" link that appears in the tooltip. You'll immediately be whisked down to the editor and the selected text will already be conveniently quoted for you. Repeat as often as necessary.

What sorcery is this?

The desktop themes need left-justified avatars/names/titles, don’t they?

 

[Lady Error]

Looks like some avatars have fucked up transparency now:

Many others are fine though.

New centered alignment is better because... reasons.

Though frankly, I don't care. The Codex is now at a "good for it is" stage (and modders will fix it).

Good work on the header though. Surprised that we didn't have to reinvent the wheel there and just used the old header.

Taluntain can we get your obligatory personal preference laundered as Good Website Design(TM) reason for this change?

This has been discussed pages ago, it just looks better.

“It Just Works”

My Son always said "that monster looks funny" now I am closing the window ASAP when I have the 'dex open.

To perfectly replicate OldDex, button ratings such as the parrot should be limited vertically to 22 pixels, starting at the top of these images. For some reason, NewDex had been limiting the parrot horizontally, which hadn't been the case earlier, and was also imposing a greater vertical restriction than before. However, in fixing this, the vertical restriction was entirely removed so that now the button ratings box expands vertically to fully accommodate these larger animated images. I didn't want to complain about this, since I'm the one who urged freeing the parrot in the first place.

At this point we should point out stuff that affects functionality and leave purely aesthetic considerations aside (or for later), as those are mostly fixable with Stylus.

/* username and title on the left */

.message-name {
    text-align: left;
}

.message-userTitle {
    text-align: left;
}

/* avatars on the left */
.message-avatar {
    text-align: left;
}

This mimicks the old style. Personally I prefer centered alignment but to each its own.

Nobody except you seems to be bothered by it.

Just because nobody brought it up doesn't mean nobody's bothered by it. I don't understand why you have to act so passive-aggressive. Or should we have a poll about every change so you can than dismiss it.

You're mistaking your own experience with that of everyone else.

Given that nobody brought this up in more than a week with 50 pages of a million complaints, it was safe to assume that nobody was bothered by it, wouldn't you say? People only started voicing complaints after the first one was posted a few hours ago, not before. Clearly it wasn't that big of a deal for anyone.

So your accusation of me acting passive-aggressive is really off the mark. Plus the zoom's been turned off like minutes after a few people complained because nobody really cared about it. So what are you even complaining about?

Looks so much better :D

For the record, I like the new forum better (although I miss a few features which will no doubt drop by shortly).

This being said, your epistemological process is confusing. Just because something isn’t brought in the first 50 pages doesn’t = nobody cares. Maybe it means there were more pressing matters to comment on and as thing are getting fixed, more feedback is provided to keep improving on what’s there. As mentioned before, I think you got way too much shit for upgrading the forum but you seem to consider your interpretations as undeniable facts, it’s like you don’t ever doubt your own subjectivity and judgment. It’s your forum, you can set it up as you wish but do tend to draw hasty conclusions at times about what the community wants.

Can any of you make my avatar move again?

Please don't make shit up. What I actually wrote was "Nobody except you seems to be bothered by it."

Note the SEEMS in that sentence. I made an assumption based on the fact that not a single complaint over this was voiced in 8 days, which I considered safe. But even so I still left room for doubt.

Now, if I'd written "Nobody except you is bothered by it.", I'd agree with your criticism. But as it is, you're just reading into it what you want to see, not what's actually there or what was intended.

I may have missed this but is there any way we can have an option to turn off the top bar following your scrolling? It's weird to have a static thing following while scrolling.

 

[Taluntain]

It's actually very useful, cuts down on scrolling up to see the alerts immensely, among other things.

 

[Blaza]

Useful yeah I am just not a fan. If I'm alone in this I'm sure I can figure out a way to get it to stop. I was asking because other xenforo forums don't have it so I figured it could be an option that could be exposed

EDIT:
I should probably clarify I was asking about a per user option not for the entire site or default

Sometimes when going to view a thread with images that you will jump to the image and not to the new post. I don't know if it has to do with the loading of the image and the actual jump to the new post. I noticed this with my WEG Star Wars thread in The Gazebo.

 

[Taluntain]

This could be a browser issue. Try selecting the full url in your browser's url bar and hitting Enter the next time it happens and it should jump to the right spot.

Taluntain's new Tips and Tricks thread gives me the slowdown bug. Opened it again while looking at Task Manager and it looks like it increases CPU usage by 20% and makes GPU usage jump from 1% to 99%.

That's OSK's successful attempt at getting banned by again posting content that he knows crashes the page, or rather slows it down to being unusable. And this was after DU warned him about that already. Anyway, being fixed right now.
