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

Ok, so now that you've ruined the Codex beyond repair, what's the gameplan?

I would rate you "It is a mystery" but since I cannot find the goddamn button, this will have to do. Anyways; the gameplan is ruining the entire internet site by site so people have no choice but to browse the big social media platforms and nothing else. Enjoy decline.

Sell it to Resetera.

Don't mind me.

 

[Nigromancer]

Look, minor cosmetic changes!

 

[Taluntain]

This should be added to the extra.less file to limit user signature height. The exact value isn't too important.

.message-signature {
    max-height: 300px !important;
    overflow: hidden !important;
}

Pinging DarkUnderlord and Taluntain because it seems rather urgent.

Yea, done. But 300's too much.

If I was stuck in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Saddam Hussein, and given a gun with two bullets, I'd shoot the RPGCodex new design twice.

That would make for one hell of a conversation.

More like my experience reading this new forum.

The reaction flyout/popup is pure shit.

As a protest, I will NOT react!

Feels like 1917.

My eyes after 20 minutes of reading nu codex. I had to zoom text a little, but it's too thin for me. It should be nice and thicc like in previous version.

 

[Zombra]

Wow, a notification for EVERY reaction? Gonna have to stop making popular interesting posts.

I don't have buttons anymore.

 

[Disciple]

Need some sort of line break or whatever between the pinned threads and the non-pinned ones, just for clarity. Also, is it not possible anymore to see who has rated what in any given post?

The amount of butthurt over what amounts to so little actual change goes beyond autistic here. I can't even take the ridiculous amount of me-too whining seriously because it's so over the top for such a nothingburger that this layout change has been reduced to that it's not even funny. It's honestly worse than kindergarten. Twiglard's gone to great lengths to basically strip the new layout of practically all the meaningful changes, down to even reducing the font to this ridiculously small size again and yet the amount of bile spewed over it here is practically unchanged from before.

We get it, the Codex is unable to accept literally the first change in 20 years, no matter how minor. We've known that it's going to be like this no matter what. Some things will still be tweaked, some won't. If you can't live with that, tough.

I am sorry, Taluntain, but this is just nonsense. I know that there is a lot of very harsh criticism and some things get blow out of proportion but just dismissing everything and claiming the site looks great now is ridiculous. Even if we leave out all discussions about asthetics, lots of features are missing or broken and people rightfully complain about launching the new site without it.

I get the need to update to Xenforo 2, I am a programmer myself and know how painful being stuck on an old version can be but you can't go maybe 70% of the way, launch the new site, declare victory and label everyone autistic who complains about it. It is condescending and unprofessional.

Whoever designed this fucking sucks

It's not going to look good if you simply take the old colors (check the Wayback Machine) and slap it onto the new layout. It won't play nice with other elements such as the post header and the userbox. Anyway, grab the Stylus browser extension and try to arrive at something better than the current theme.

Allright, I've installed the add-on and started tinkering. Progress is slow so far, but at least I fixed the maxWidth and have found some temporary greyish background color. If people are interested in trying it, install stylus and use this script:

Spoiler

@-moz-document url-prefix("https://rpgcodex.net/forums/") { .message-cell { background-color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; } .message-body { background-color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; } .bbCodeBlock { background-color: #333333 !important; } .p-body-inner { max-width: 98%; } }

It is not finished by any means, so don't bother telling me that it looks shitty.

We need to have the brofist count back when you click on someone's username. No one cares about the number of good/neutral/bad reactions.

That's why it's jumping. So you can notice it.

I can’t read anything.

That would make for one hell of a conversation.

Mustache expo. I hope you aren't clean shaven, it would be awkward af.
