Freaking A, this layout is such a wonderful break on the eyes from the old one. Guys, when you make a custom theme for this board could you consider using some lighter colors, at least in the post windows? :)

The quote code is a little more cumbersome than most forums, but look at all the stupid new formatting styles we can
have
fun with! :D:D:D

(Oops, looks like about half of those don't work right. Oh well.)

Oh, and the best thing to ever come to these forums, avatars. Although it appears animated ones won't work, though perhaps that's just because it had to resize the one I tried; it might work if you get one that it doesn't have to resize. Timbo, any word on this?

I'd still prefer an overall darker theme myself though not to the point it causes readability problems.

I KNOW! ITS AWESOME!!! That is the first thing i checked for.. i've been wanting avatars on for a long time. Mine is animated and appears to work though it isn't resized..

I also just noticed i now have the power to ban people.. :D!

You can applaud or smite people.  If you applaud them for being awesome their karma goes up, if you smite them for being stupid it goes down..  its just a feature mainly, nothing happens when you reach 99999 karma.. (or does it!) though if you reach -99999 Karma you get poked in the eye with a pointy stick.

When you change someone's karma, is it anonymous or does the recipient get to know who did it? Also, how often can you change a single person's karma?

EDIT: By the way, these smilies are ugly as sin. Any one of our members could make a better set, or you could just as easily find one free online. Can we arrange this, please?

There are settings i believe to change it to be several different ways. I am pretty sure people can not see what karma you give them, that is typically how it works, and i have no idea where mine came from. As far as the limit goes... i dunno.. just keep applauding me until it tells you to stop and let me know what the limit turned out to be :D

Is there any way I can access the old phpBB forums?
Title: Re: Holy Shit - SMF

Honestly, I fucking hate SMF. It may have more features, but it looks butt-ugly.

I've seen some decent looking SMF themes.. but the one thing that annoyed me the most about phpBB was it's lack of properly defining "since last visit" for new posts.  Hitting refresh over a weekend would yield me a page of 80-some posts, all of which I've read already but it still shows them as new (and doesn't take me to the "new" post when there is one, but somewhere around where the new post was the first time I clicked on it).
Title: Re: Holy Shit - SMF
Post by: player1 on November 15, 2007, 05:33:18 am
I agree with Kaleo in that I thought the old forum was slick looking.

I agree with PIE in that I'd much rather have devs spend time being game devs and not worrying about forum themes.

I applaud you both. Bravo, sirrah and sirrah, and a lovely good day to you gentlemen. (PlayerOne is raising the level of discourse in honor of the pleasant new surroundings.)

Niiiice, SMF... I mainly am on the HLP forums (which uses SMF), so I'm used to this.  :D  BTW, for those who are wondering, this blue theme is the SMF default.  HLP looked like that at first, too.. take a look at it now (http://www.hard-light.net/forums).  ;)

I miss that in SMF :(
And there are no good, dark themes :/

Ok, Timbo: COMMUNICATE. Just tell us if you're going to do something like disabling avatars. Otherwise, we'll just think you're crazy off your ass and disabled them because of all the positive feedback people were giving regarding them. Really, if there's a good reason, you're kinda responsible to tell it to us as the leader of the community.

Post by: Warrior on November 15, 2007, 08:27:17 pm
IMHO, the best forum upgrade would have been to phpBB3 (http://www.phpbb.com/) which has an infinitely better default skin and I believe is much more powerful.
They are at the finals test versions (RC7 :o) and hopefully will have a Final "soon". Considering the old forum was using phpBB2, it would be a natural upgrade.

Despite of that, the update broke many links. Links pointing to the old URL (e.g.: http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5059) are not being redirected to the new ones (e.g.: http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=5059.0).

But Paradox still has an avatar.  How long until the masses arrive at his door with pitchforks? :P

Glad this system seems easier for the moderators to deal with the crap (from the handful I've talked to already).  From moderating other boards/sites/etc, I know it can be a boring job to wade through it all.
Title: Re: Holy Shit - SMF
Post by: Paradox on November 16, 2007, 03:41:34 am
Well, a majority of the commands are more intuitive, and the instant moderation options are quite nice.

PHPBB3 isnt that great. It has no ajax, and is only a marginal increase.

I would suggest MyBB, but it isnt as widely used (read supported) as SMF

Post by: David on November 16, 2007, 11:58:51 am
I think David made an SMF theme that looks like the old forums.
Ages ago when the SMF idea was first floated.  Did a bit and then stalled, mainly due to lack of knowing what it should end up like.
http://tremold.davidsev.co.uk/

My suggestions: Remove post counts. Really easy to do, and cuts down on spam.  Remove post-based groups too.


Despite of that, the update broke many links. Links pointing to the old URL (e.g.: http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5059) are not being redirected to the new ones (e.g.: http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=5059.0).

Title: Re: Holy Shit - SMF
Post by: Timbo on November 16, 2007, 02:04:07 pm
While I applaud your efforts, the old forum theme was based on the old website which has long since been retired. It's pretty impressive how close you've got it, really. Ideally a new theme would fit more closely with the existing website. One of us will probably get around to this eventually, but if anyone else wants to give it a go they're more than welcome.

Are you sure about that?
Because, I've been using SMF for about 2 years now.
And, I haven't seen this problem.
In fact, the only time I ever see a scrollbar is if there are [code][/code] tags, or oversized pictures, in a post.
What do you mean?
Can you take a screenshot, using the PrtScrn button, and upload the picture to www.tinypic.com ?
Because, as you can see, this post is well over two lines long... and I can see the whole thing on my screen.
Do you want me to post a screenshot of what I see?

I have scrollbars.  They don't seem to be moveable.  I really don't care though.  They take up a fraction of the screen space all that crap jr2's has installed gobble up :P

Personally, I like the new forums.  You can turn off images, signatures, avatars, many of which were an extreme annoyance on the previous boards.  More options, mod tools are better...  If I dig deep for a complaint, I'd say that it would be nice to have skin options, but I gotta dig real deep for that.  The present skin is pleasant and readable, if a little bright in a dark room ;)

Timbo and anyone else that may have been involved, much appreciation and thanks.  And that extends beyond the new forums.

That happens in SMF if the page isn't completely loaded (usually happens to me if I'm uploading & downloading @ max speed while trying to view forum pages, or if I'm having Internet connection issues).  And, yeah, the fix is to reload the page.

Your browser is not properly refreshing the page?

seems to be working a bit more correctly now. :/

another thing ive noticed is that suddenly everyones email is visible, even though they were hidden before (and chosen by users to be hidden)

What is mine? I chose it to be hidden. But I don't really care, it the email I use for all forums/games and never check it on my main computer.

Suggestion: Turn avatars back on, but make sigs appear only once per page (or per thread even).

Yeh? :D Neh? >:( Meh? :-\

(Vote Yeh!)

There are various mods an so on that can be applied to SMF, but I want to make sure the base forum software is running well for a while, before we start adding things.

Hmm... I'd edit that e-mail out... otherwise the crawling spam-bots will be a-comin' to spam your e-mail account into oblivion.

I'd be more worried about people from the forums emailing me (00)... i edited them for safe measure. Believe me though Geni3 he did post the actual email you provided. You definately will get spam if he posts your email out in public like that though... maybe a PM next time lava..

I agree..  If someone sees something fishy is up i'd like them to know i'm a moderator and tell me about it so i can do something about it.

Avatars kinda tell it, but not every mod has one.

Timbo, know any way to get the moderator rank to show?

I know you guys dumped the "Administrator List" and "Moderator List", but on the main page, you could perhaps have a "Meet The Team", or something.

On HLP, the user's custom text shows their status.  I'm not sure if this was done by an SMF mod, or just done manually... I can ask them if you want.
