I reeealllyyyyyy want the old logo back. Is anyone else with me?

I just think this whole "new forum" thing was a bad idea to begin with if there are so many problems with it :/

Well, it was done for a reason and the problems are being looked at, so it should be fine.

The new logo is nice, but nostalgia leans me to prefer the previous logo.

All these years and still no twitch emote support outside of April Fools BabyRage

The forum doesn't look bad, to be honest. I've just been used to the old one for like 4 years, so this will take some getting used to. Might as well bring up a bullet list concerning old features, though.

    Will medals be coming back sometime in the future?
    How about join date and location?
    Any chance of seeing signature support underneath posts? I'm indifferent about it, but I figured I might as well see if it's supported.
    Seriously tho when's twitch emotes  :-[
    Is there a way to make new posts in forums easier to see? The old forum made it pretty simple to just check on new stuff- see if the page is orange and woosh on over there. This setup kind of confuses me with how it handles new posts.

Main con: The old New Posts options made more sense unless everything fixes itself after more time logged in
Main pros: My avatar fits better, huge potential to joke about people having Standard Members

I personally liked the "personal text" deal as a substitute for location. It's become kind of a mainstay here on the board. Was that done away with or am I just blind?

EDIT: Matter of fact, I see Korby's got a "custom title" field containing his old location that I can't seem to find. Is that solely a moderator privilege or is that accessible to all?

You know what's misleading? The "<< previous next >>" links at the top and bottom of each page of a thread. They don't take you to the next page of a multi-page thread; no, they take you to completely different threads.
Didn't old Cutstuff have that, too?

EDIT: Apparently not. But I've encountered those buttons quite a few times on other forums before.

I had to turn the custom fields off temporarily because people were writing huge ones that were bleeding into the posts and that's no good. I'll see if I can bring it back later.

Keep the reports coming in, I will eventually get around to fixing everything! (And no we can't have the old forum back, sorry)

I'd like to have strikethrough and underline in the editor.

Additionally, the first button in the second row of the editor has no tooltip description:

What does it do?

Search seems to be quite iffy. When using "Search in topic subjects only" it often doesn't return any results, even when using words that most definitely appeared in titles - like "general" or "Roboenza".

It's the spoiler button, it should place two spoiler tags into your post. I can add underline/strike back.

As for the search, I can change the way it works but I need to read up on it more in case I give the search too much power.

Fixed youtube links, and maybe caused a little time travel rollback shenanigans.

Working on the other tags now.

I'm curious...  Has everyone faild to notice the Wily-esque typo directly under their avatars?   ;D

Me, personally?  I'd say keep it, but I don't think many people would get the reference.

TOO BAD RETURN OF GANON

Fixed. It was actually a typo of the mod but you probably won't believe it so let's just say that whacky CMM did a bad again.   :-*

Edit: Turned off the annoying last edited by text for now.

It seems like avatars only work if the hosting URL has http and not https. That's kind of annoying.

EDIT: It looks like the same thing might apply to posts. I guess getting that fixed might save the art threads?

Wacky Changes!

forums completely different, i have to get used to a new laptop and operating system, things have changed a lot really suddenly for me and my online experience

ALSO that HTTPS thing doesn't apply to images embedded into topic posts.
if you look at my art or 8bdm skins topics, both have (now) fixed images, even though they use the same HTTPS links

Though hopefully the "non-functional images until you edit each post" thing will be fixed some time soon
