NEWS: Forum Overhaul

[desocietas]

Cool, I changed my avatar, too.  I liked the old one, but there wasn't any way to view it larger (the old forum profile allowed a larger size of the avatar) so it was illegible.

If anything, I was very used to viewing the forums before through "all discussions," ordered by most recent post/reply and not having to go back and click on different subforums.

Anyway to access a view like that?

ADDED: Also, awesome work, @matt!

You can click on the "unread posts since last visit" link. But that's just new posts.

What I hated about that set up though was, when you stickied a topic in one section of the forum. All the stickies were listed at the top of the "all discussions", so eventually we could have had the entire page 1 filled with stickies. I know I had to trim down the stickies once, because it was getting a little ridiculous.

I figured it out! We are missing the what are you playing thread and the recently added thread from General unless they got moved.

Also I thought about changing my avatar but it's already perfect.

[foxhack]

You're right. That's what we're missing.

I made this post and the forum puked at me, yikes

[jcalder8]

You're right. That's what we're missing.

Turn that frown upside down Looks like the recently added thread is back

[scott]

The Currently Playing thread is right here. http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,572.90.html

Hmm, here I thought I'd been gone a while, but this was recent! Looks good mang

Just realized that the @name thingy doesn't do the link like in the old forum, like when you wrote @scott or something and you could click their name.

*Edit*

and then I see it was mentioned in another topic >_<

I just noticed in the badge thread that none of the images are showing up, just the HTML code.  I am guessing this forum only accepts BB code?

I used HTML to post my 3D renderings last night, so it looks like it's still available.

[scott]

hmm. I'll look into it in a bit...

Fix'd this.

[pacpix]

Thanks!  What was it that caused the HTML to show?

[matt]

I assumed that any html that was already in the database would still work. It appears that isn't the case though...hmm

Regardless going forward we'll be sticking to BBCode. It's safer and the standard for forums.
