that image doesnt exist anywhere OMG U GOTTA REUPLOAD IT FOR ME

I can get it for you. What was the name of the image?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Yeah the place just seems messed up right now. In fact, the font sizes may need some tweaking, since the font settings that I've typically used prior to the switch were bigger than what they look like now.

Links:
Links to individual posts now take the user to the top of page it's on, jump to the post after a delay, and then load the rest of the page (images etc). Before the switch, links to an individual post took you to a page that ONLY had that post on it.
This issue is problematic for pages with many images, as those loading images push the screen away from the post you were wanting to look at.

BBCode:
COLLAPSE is non-functioning, as is TABLE. While not officially listed, GLOW also used to work.

Avatars:
Avatars used to be displayed at full size (up to 125x125). Now, they appear to be forced to 96x96 px, regardless of size.

edit:

also i am unable to edit down my signature. it gives me this error Sorry, your signature contains BB Code tags that are not allowed.

 

[Strong Badam]

I'm going to save more in-depth feedback for a later time. For the moment, I'd like to comment that the default font on the new forum looks ****ing awful.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I agree with Strong Bad. I keep switching to Helvetica because Sans Serif fits this place much much more imo.

 

[BlueXenon]

How am I following people? I never chose to follow anyone yet.

 

[Grunt]

The mobile site has absolutely no posting options, but I don't remember if the old one did either. I just think it's funny clicking "more options" gives you no new options.

Friends = Follows?

I demand my Grimer come back.

I kinda miss having the "active users" box at the bottom of each thread. Also are the social groups gone or are they one of those features that have yet to be added to the new forum?

Not sure what to think of the new forum yet, so I'll save my nitpicks for later.

I miss Classic Blue, but the default looks much better than the old default.
Also, can anyone else read this? Ruby is the only one like this.

I can read the other tabs using Default Smashboards Dark. Are you saying you can't read yours?

Edit: I can make out words in the tabs in your pic, but I definitely can't actually read them.

No, just Ruby. Dark and Default are both readable.

It's already unchecked! Notice how you have the Bronze Bulb of the Lighthouse yet not your Grimer?

Grimer should be priority #1.

 

[bubbaking]

Ah, I see. Also, I found out how to "multi-quote". Every time you click "Reply", the sub-forum flings you to the message box, which automatically quotes the message you're replying to. If you click on more "Reply" links, the quotes stack up in your message box. This would be extremely cool IF doing this didn't continuously bring me to the message box EVERY time I clicked "Reply".

On a good note, I really like the "Go To First Unread" button at the bottom. Really convenient. (^_^)

Okay, I don't know then. :<

Hopefully, it will be fixed soon.

 

[Bones0]

There's always been a "Go to first unread" button.

 

[Junahu]

what in the blue blazes... is THAT A SIGNATURE!?

WHY IS THAT POSSIBLE??

 

[Grunt]

Yeah, that's another thing. The user CP options for scrollable/unrestricted signatures don't seem to do anything.

 

[Muhti]

ToTM Award doesn't show.

Images like , , don't work.

 

[Atlus8]

Any have the Godzilla image from the default images? Can't find it anywhere!

 

[genkaku]

can you choose a default font that doesn't make the whole site look like a bad blog entry?

 

[John2k4]

If it was a smiley, then it should be back up soon.

If it was one of the stock avatars, I'd have to look for it.

Why can't I go to people's profile pages when I click on their name? It creates a pop-up at the top of the screen then I have to go click there. Also you can't view your conversation with other members anymore, so it's a pain in the *** to get to the other members page to reply.

It seems like a Twitter feature, which also goes hand-in-hand with the "Following" and "Followers" stats that replaced the friend list. In fact, I noticed that we kinda became an amalgamation of FB ("Likes"), Twitter, and a bunch of other social networking stuff. For instance, we now have a trophy points system. If we had one before, then I never noticed, but if so, it's definitely more pronounced now.

You also can't preview your post and see what it looks like before you post it.

Yes you can. Below the message box, click on "More Options..." which is pretty much the same thing as 'Go Advanced'/Advanced Options from the old SWF. Under the message box in the new window, there's a "Preview" button.

 

[WindMajor]

I don't like that my name is in a tiny font under my face and credentials (ribbons).

 

[BrandX]

Bigger avatar upload size? 50.2kb is way too small for the avatars I make lol.

 

[tekkie]

It's a great start, even if it'll take getting used to Keep it up!

In response to Sephiroth (again):

There are a couple ways to go straight to someone's profile page from the link in his name:

• If you have a mouse-wheel, click the name with it.
• Right-click the name and choose "Open in New Tab/Window".

Also, I noticed that when one left-clicks on a person's name to get the pop-up 'mini-profile', there's an option "Start a Conversation".

There's always been a "Go to first unread" button.

Oh, I never noticed.

POSTS PER PAGE
In threads with many images and long-form posts, a default and solitary option of 40 posts per page is far too large. If at all possible, I would like a return of the option to adjust this to the previous lower setting. 15 posts per page was my preference for years.

LINKS
Links to posts now re-direct to the page itself, and on some archives such as the Make Your Move ones, this can mean that your browser blocks the page and thus the moveset that was linked because of fossilized images that coincidentally are on the same page. Plus it's just unsightly and takes far longer to load, especially given the current 40 post per page format.

SIGNATURES
An obvious bug. They should not be allowed to be so long as some are in this thread.

FONTS
The default font is too big. Not sure if this is a design choice or not, if it is it would be nice if you worked in an option to lower the setting, though I'm not sure in that case this is a realistic expectation unless there's some huge demand.

 

[Vinylic.]

First of all, THIS IS AMAZING.

And I'm having a bit of a difficult time telling who's mod based on this new stuff here. Otherwise, I love it entirely.

As for the suggestions, I got one:

• The debate ribbon's text is hard to see through the color. There might possibly be others like that as well, so a few color changes wouldn't hurt.

 

[bubbaking]

I kinda miss how I used to be able to 'Quick Edit' my posts directly without getting a pop-up or a new page or anything. Oh well, I can live without...

Edit: How the heck is BrandX a "Well-Known Member"? Lolz!

EDIT: Also we don't have the option to make our own titles yet.

Clicking the floating "you have 1 new alert!" box opens the alert drop down, but I still have to scroll all the way back up to see it, which is kind of annoying.

 

[Juggleguy]

I'm sure you can see this already, but it's extremely tedious to tell where one post ends and another post begins, especially with the signature display options the way they are.

Under the Alerts menu, the "Alert Preferences" and "Show All..." text are in a grey font that conflicts with the background color of Smashboards Dark. Also probably true for a lot of other text around the site.

 

[Overswarm]

This is a really good design. I do miss a "User CP" button that automatically had the subscribed threads, and if I were you I would create a redirect for www.smashboards.com/usercp.php to www.smashboards.com/watched/threads, as the landing page for both serve the same function. I personally only accessed sboards through usercp.php, so now when I type in "sm" into the adress bar I get the usercp link. :B

All in all this is pretty solid. It'll take some getting used to but it looks to be pretty future proof and has good options for "social media" and the like. Seems like it'd be good for mobile as well, but I wouldn't know at this time.

 

[VictoryIsMudkipz]

So far no "real" complaints, nice upgrade

 

[bubbaking]

Seems like SWF turned into a completionist's paradise. Dose trophies...

#LikeThisPost

In all fairness, I actually like the new design of this site. I hope some really convenient features from the old one make it back, but all in all, good job!

I...........didn't know those existed until you pointed them out. (O_O)
