>>> The NEW BOARD is LIVE!

[Automate]

Oh shit! Oops! I mean ... Uh Oh! Looks like we're gonna have to get used to a whole new set of emoticons.
And they appear to for now be politically-correct and decorum-correct. 😆

WHAT? No more ":rubbel:" and such? 😭

Un-fucking-acceptable (not really, I don't really even use those things anymore).

But it seems like somebody will have to do some animated pixel art or we're going to collectively have to hunt those gifs down again from the various smiley sites on the 'net.

Is there a way to show in the threads the last posts first like in the old board?
Thanks!

Petra, I can see the images now thanks. Dunno what I was at.👍

Great. Might have been something still working in the background.

Love the fact that you can tag people, a feature I've wanted on the forum for ages. @Petra

And we didn't have to do a thing except lose our minds doing this migration to the new software! LOL

Probably something very simple that I'm missing, but ...
How do I set things so that the comments display in --- New to Old instead of how it is set right now at --- Old to New?

I'm not sure. I'll check later if this is something I can do for you guys or if there's a way for you guys to do it.

I have all the old smilies. I just need time to get them imported and activated.

Just a couple of minor requests if possible...
1. Increasing number of posts per page from the current 20 to 25 (as before), and
2. increasing the image width limit to1280x [from the current ~1020x].

Together, I think this would improve navigation efficiency while enhancing the visual experience of viewers.

Thanks in advance!

1. I'll check, was able to increase the amount of threads per forum so I might..
2. will check to see if that's possible

Thanks!

As I said above, I'll check. If anyone figures it out first post here and I'll add it to the OP.

How about hyperlinking the model names?

 

[Supafly]

My current issue is about the colours, specifically the little contrast between text colour and background colour. makes things a bit harder to see, and it would add... more character, methinks.

But that thing with being able to tag members, that is a sweet thing.

Great job, all around, folks

Stuff and things, probably relevant:

It'll come. We have to rebuild all the customization we did with vBulletin. Linking the model (and now we can do sites since we have the Channel Section!) name is at the top of the list.

Cheers. I'll see what I can do but if you look at the post above me, you can change things yourself a bit locally.

How can I just have a link post normally instead of with unfurl?

 

[Know-way]

Well, this new look came as a surprise. Some disadvantageous changes, beside the look factor (which is nice), as well.

Two technical imperfections hit me. One is that meant-to-be-invisible code used in the old system, as with the "NOBABE" tag, is now showing up on older posts using the tag... leading to unfortunate clutter.

Another is that words containing the letters T-E-S-T (as with, say, "grea-T-E-S-T," or "pro-T-E-S-T," or — now will be spelling out the second example — "protest") now display a smiley emoticon thingie holding up an intimidating "Smile! You're about to get banned" sign. (As will probably be seen in the spelled-out version, above.)

I hope a change that would be for the better has been implemented, where posts are allowed to be edited for a greater period than for ten minutes, as with the older system. (After posting this, I noticed an "Edit" option which allowed me to return and to add this new sentence, in parentheses; it would be lovely if this editing option has been allowed to not expire.)

(I just checked an older post of mine without the "Edit" option, so apparently, the option does expire. I've never been able to understand the reason why older posts cannot be updated. This would be wonderful, for example, when photos disappear and other information needs to be updated.)

Not all change is good, and this "New" format is downright awful, it is as it appears dull and uninteresting.

 

[OrangeCunty]

Please change it back. It now looks like every other shitty forum on the web. It's been the same so long why change it??


* Can't you at least bring the old color scheme back?

 

[claydavis]

The search function is worse than it was before. Threads I know I had started months ago I cannot find. I searched for Tana Waters and nowhere to be found.

 

[Harpsman]

The my Favourites* facility, is it gone?

*where i could add a babe to 'My Favourites' and have a list of babes

I'll have to look into that and see if it's a setting.

I'm going to be working on smilies. As for things in old threads, well, it's unfortunate but we're focusing on new threads.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Change is hard but the software for the old board just wasn't good anymore.

We're going to set up other themes in the future. No ETA but it'll happen.

The search function is worse than it was before. Threads I know I had started months ago I cannot find. I searched for Tana Waters and nowhere to be found.

I "think" it's due to permissions. I'm working on it right now.

The my Favourites* facility, is it gone?

Favorite babes on the site and have the show up in your profile? That was a custom plugin on the old board and will probably make a cumback.

Thanks!

Yes please, hate having to scroll down to see new stuff. Always used the feature in the old board where you scroll down to see old stuff and newest was on top.

For me it works

 

[Monder]

I’m on a iPhone and it use to be that as soon as I logged in it would give me an option of staying on mobile site or the regular one.Now,it keeps me on the mobile version and does not give an option to view the regular full version.

 

[claydavis]

It works now because I found the thread through google and made a post. But it did not work prior to that and I found the same thing happen with a couple of others I tried searching for through the search function.

What do I have to say?

Uh... er... PRESENT! 👋

Are we going to get the nasty, pervy smilies back at some point? Other than that, it's just a big change and some new stuff to get used to. At least you guys are still on the interwebs. More than a few forums have hung up their spurs in the past couple of years. Thanks for hanging in there, Petra.

Yup! I have all the smilies sitting in a folder. I just need to work on uploading them this weekend.
