Anime Your test site sucks

[Nano]

Also, we literally have publicly available statistics: http://extremetracking.com/open?login=codexrpg

Hmm.

 

[shywn]

• Use Inter (https://rsms.me/inter/) for the font, this new font is too soy for me, honestly.
  
  

There is såmethingg wrångg with this fånt but I dån't quite knåw what.

 

[Absinthe]

Just so you know, DU, those tracking statistics get botched by any adblock or other filter that blocks trackers.

That's probably going to have some skewing effects since usually the more computer literate users are the ones to use adblock, and they are probably also more likely than average to have higher-end computers. Adblock, All-In-One Privacy/Security/whatever software, etc. is usually also PC software, so it's very probable the actual percentage of PC users vs cellphones is higher than what the statistics report.

Re-build, yes. Port, no. The forum templates needed to be re-built. XF2 is enough of a monster that there are people who can do that for you.

I did not tell them to "copy everything exactly as you see it". But they're working on the theme. I did want something that felt re-freshed / updated but kept most of the same theme. So that Rex can finally have his graphics back and be at peace.

So the current test site layout is not the final one? Why show it to people at all in that state then, instead of waiting for the coders to finish re-building the theme?

Spoiler

Yes, in that case we probably would not have this thread and copious amounts of lulz would be lost forever.

Is it possible to add the page selector at the top of the page as well as at the bottom of the thread?

Also can we already start using the new site and have all our comments appear to all the people using the old?

 

[Berengar]

Give me interactable dice in the top left corner or give me DEATH.

 

[FriendlyMerchant]

This website needs to support Israel better. Also... Test site looks like shit.

 

[LostHisMarbles]

there's no reason for the menu or title bar to follow you when you scroll down.

Edit: Just in case.. add this to your uBlock custom filters.

So the current test site layout is not the final one?

Officially, I'm not worried about the theme at all on transition. When we first rolled out XF it took a few weeks before we ended up with what we've got now, from memory.

It's easy enough to fiddle with colours once you've got the basics. And we can give various people permission to mess with the theme if necessary until we end up with one that's right.

We're not just testing the theme though. The main test is that the data all transfers correctly and we have basic features working (news and content). Once the core feature-set is there, we can play with the theme until the cows come home. It's not hard to change. Most changes live in extra.less (because .css is old and you have to be hip with the kids).

Why show it to people at all in that state then, instead of waiting for the coders to finish re-building the theme?

If we had plain white vanilla default XF2, we'd have had just as much bitching. If previous upgrades are anything to go by, we won't get most of our feedback until we actually roll over to it.

And again, other features are being tested.

Also as suspected, the Codex is full of zoomers.

Disgusting. Can we put out traps or something?

 

[Grimlorn]

It needs tweaking, it's definitely not perfect, but it's fine, and no worse than the current layout. And remember: reactionaries only have one opinion, and it's always the same, so no one takes them seriously. Not even in the very few occasions in which they might be right.

It's amusing you think you're not a reactionary. You react the exact way the left wants you to every time you view something politically. Here it is pretty much universal that most Codexers dislike the new site, probably people on the left and right, but here you are making it a political issue by referencing those darn reactionaries.

You are a caricature of a human being, but I guess that's why they call people like you NPCs.

So you don't know what reactionary means, and you made an idiot of yourself in front of everyone. Sad.

Oh I'm aware dumbass. I was stating you were the left wing version of one.

If you hollow out an old picture frame and put strips of duct tape across it with a vape refill in the middle it clears them up within a week or so.

Ok boomers.

 

[Jonathan "Zee Nekomimi]

i zoom out. Mostly browse using 90% and depending on the website where then kinda force those big letters into you i go to 80%.

 

[Ismaul]

Test site is test site.

News at 11.

 

[Melcar]

32 people need to zoom in to be able to see their micro dick.

 

[Sentinel]

I like the test site.

Colours on alert notifications make it hard to distinguish between read/unread notifications.

The page number at the bottom of the thread is cut off at the top.

Other than that it's alright.

We're rich enough to hire theme monkeys, without even a funding campaign?

It can't be because of the adblocked revenue, can it?

 

[Abu Antar]

Sometimes, I zoom in on my phone. I have never zoomed in or out on PC.

 

[Kruno]

the new site is better
fuck you

It's so much better that you're still using the old site and not the new one, judging by the members online list.

I don't know how to access the new site!

 

[Hirato]

Don't forget to clip/crop signatures.
Some people do dumb things with zalgos that bleed everywhere, https://rpgcodex.net/xf2/members/konjad.8742/#about
and others basically have an entire thread in theirs, https://rpgcodex.net/xf2/members/baud.22873/#about

 

[Fronzel Neekburm]

Typical designed-for-mobile garbage. The most tell-tale sign of who this layout is supposed to cater to can be seen when you look at the numbers for thread replies/views:

Old:

New:

Bro, numbers are, like, complicated and shit!



PS: New site looks ugly as fuck too. And where the hell are my badges?

PPS: Where is the public ignore list? Why can you no longer see who gave which rating? So much opportunity for delicious drama squandered!

 

[underground nymph]

Interacting with Kotex on iPhone and iPad is pure distilled pain in ass currently. I welcome the new mobile-friendly Kotex. Grognards and neckbeards can go fuck themselves.

 

[Carpincho Pampeano]

Yooo too many boomers here like wtf go back to your grandkids smh fam fr fr. We now be bussin with real RPGs like automata like wtf old man why see the characters from fucking drones no cap fr fr.

No wonder you have to zoom and shit.

 

[Ravielsk]

Same. Its weird almost as if phones already a built in solution for dealing with site layout not handtailored for phones so that not every site needs to be overhauled for them.

Weird how that works.
