Hey everyone. As you can already tell, the transfer to Xenforo is complete. This is a very exciting time for HC, and I really hope you all enjoy it! While this is awesome, it is expected that the first few weeks of it may be a bit rocky. You can consider this a "Beta" of sorts, and I am looking for the help of you all to help me find out bugs and things that don't quite look right. One known bug is the fact that spoilers are not working. This makes for some very long sigs, however I think Adad64 can help us with this, so hold tight on that for a bit. If you notice anything else, function or skin related, please say so in this thread! I will fix as much as I can.
WHAT UNIVERSE HAVE I STEPPED INTO? D: :D Just kidding, this is really awesome. We don't have our awesome Zelda-themed smileys faces, which makes me not as smiley. Also, remember how you guys didn't want a "like" system because it would be too much like Facebook? Too bad, you're getting it. :cool: But seriously, I think that it is really nice because if someone reads a post that they like, but can't reply to it because it's a thread where they can't reply or something, they can "like" it or something. Anyway, I'll get to work on fixing up my image. *flips hair*
Looks nice overall. A couple small critiques; The "Go to First Unread" button is a little hard to read unless you're like, angled perfectly. It's not too difficult, but I think making it a tad bit darker would be nice. Along with this, the "New" icon for new posts in the top right of the posts is very difficult to read. I know they haven't because it didn't transfer over, but I'll go ahead and mention them. The names for member groups aren't there. An actual (minor!) critique! For new posts on the main board, everyone's name is uncolored. I thought this was just because the colors hadn't transferred over, but your name is differently colored on the board, but it still appears as the same color on the index. If I see any other nitpicky stuff I'll edit it in.
Oh, dear. I guess I'll save my signature to my hard drive for now. Sorry to everyone who's had to put up with it while I was asleep! Also, if Toko doesn't mind me doing this in his thread, if any issues specific to the Ylisse forum come up, please let us know as well. Now that the new forum software is installed, we can finally get to actually fixing them. On the note of Ylisse, due to how the new URLs work it's possible that it will take a few days until all the links in all the threads work properly again. I'll endeavour to have it fixed ASAP though.
Is like, 'Where am I? What is this?' But seriously I think you should maybe make a thread that explains the changes and how to access certain features; It took me almost 15 minutes to find the new PM system, so some explanation would be good. PS: What do the points mean?
Thats an excellent idea Raz, I will try to do that later tonight. As for the points, its kind of like a gamer score but for the forums. I will make a post about them as well.
Sweet. I'm going to have to pull a BP and save my sig somewhere, though, lol. I think the mainpage could be streamlined a bit, just in terms of spacing and stuff, but I think it looks great! Good job, Toko!
Be more specific with your main index suggestions quill, though there isnt going to be much changing other than adding more to the sidebar.
Actually, I do have a thing. For individual threads, the way the thread's title is pushed against the far left and far top feels a little awkward. Is there any way to space that out a little?
I'm preferring that look for quotes, Toko. Definitely a lot easier to read. Now to get my sig set up again.
It looks like the only people with colored names are the mods and the admins. Can Xenforo do rank-colors?
Yes, however I'm not going to be coloring ranks and am instead going to be making banners for Vet/Reg that people will have under their avatars like we have Webmaster and Moderator. However, they'll be a little different.
Ooooooh! I like that idea! That'll be fancy! I also like the idea of not putting rank colors on the index page, since that can look bad to newcomers if there's just one color splashed everywhere.
