chg Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Another issue I've noted: code blocks from pre-upgrade posts appear to not show the correct line breaks (line breaks appear to have been lost), also line numbering has been lost (not showing in preupgrade posts, no option to set it in the new code blocks editor) BdR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Line breaks appear broken full stop, even normal messages have twice as many spaces as they used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupot Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 There doesn't appear to be any RSS functionality, is that going to come back or has it gone for good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 RSS is enabled for the whole forum, and the icons appear (in browser), they just don't actually work. Awesome. Another IPS4 quirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, are you planning to enable Project Wonderful again? The whole top area could do with some love imho. It doesn't need the Browse / Activity tabs, and then another strip below it (Forums, Chat, Staff) and then another mini-strip below that (where the breadcrumb is). That could all be condensed down I reckon. Of course IPS html templates are the spawn of Satan, so it's not going to be easy to tweak them. Yes I'll enable the ads again shortly, just trying to figure out more important things first. InvisionUser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSquadron Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 By the way, I always had the same problem on the forums. When I try to change the twitter account shown below the posts count, it does not change. The one I login and the one shown there are different. Can you help?

It's because it drives people out of their comfort zone and they have to re-learn or re-master something and that pisses off most people . But people like very much changes when this is an upgrade or make life more simple. For now, i miss two things that i can't find anymore : using the forum with noscript on firefox (you cannot quote) and the http://www.html5gamedevs.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=viewNewContent&search_app=forums which was THE feature i used most i.e. viewing new content since your last visit sorted by posts. I will keep looking to find if it"s hidden somewhere and get playing with the new features if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 It's just a forum. It's not like learning a second language. The concepts will always be fundamentally the same, and in the same sort of place. @totor I can see lots of Activity related settings you can enable, including listing just new posts since your last visit. Under the Activity tab there is an option to create your own custom streams, which certainly has lots of settings in I've never seen before.

ekeimaja Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I noticed that there is not anymore (or yet) option to mark topic as solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 So they released a new version of the forum software today. Grrrrr. On the plus side the upgrade was painlessly easy, which is good (it was always a real chore to do with IPS3) It appears to have fixed some issues I was having in the admin panel, the datastore errors are gone and, even better, all the RSS feeds are working again now. Yes 'Mark as Solved' has been removed, apparently you now need to make the whole bloody forum a 'Questions and Answers' (stack overflow) style place, which is insane, but there's nothing I can do until someone releases a plugin to restore the functionality.

AzraelTycka Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hello, might not be the right time to ask this, but will there be some possible color shcemes in the future (i.g. some darker theme)? Thanks :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Not unless it becomes a feature within the forum software (for users to set their own color schemes, or pick from a list). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to re-learn the way you use the forum, it is like a second language, same idea, different way to express it. The problem is the way the unread content is displayed, before it was very efficient, it displayed X static pages and you could from there reach the last or first message of each topic, now you can't and you have to click load more activity js thingy to display the next page, it's more whizzz beautifully modern but it"s way slower. It it"s the price for a more secure forum it"s ok, it's just it's less efficient than before (for me of course) in fact, i would like it displays (as before) like this : http://forums.indiegamer.com/find-new/posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
