yup, it's a post notification function

that.... doesn't sound like a very useful function?? unless you want to stalk somebody

it sounds like it'd just get annoying ^o^

also maybe I'm remembering things wrong but I feel like my content got removed with the previous update and had to be added in as well? I don't remember, but it could be possible that that gets readded.... maybe...

Yay for stalkers.  It seems like an odd feature to get notifications on every post.  It would be nice to see post history, but notifications seems a bit excessive.

[Konnor97]

I see in notification settings that there's a locked checkmark for emails for when someone comments in content I follow, and that's gonna clog the hell out of my inbox.

Going into the email gives me the options to unfollow or adjust notification settings. Clicking the second one brings me to the notification settings, and there's even a red box on the option for Someone comments on something I follow. Too bad I can't uncheck email notifications.

And I figured it out. I just have to set no notifications on everything I follow. Just like what I did before.

Member badges still exist, they're just only on your profile.

[Konnor97]

And I figured out my problem with viewing stuff I follow. I missed the little 'save stream' thing that pops up when you fiddle with the menus there.

[Skfoos]

I'm having a problem where whenever I try to go from one page to another in a thread, I receive one with no posts.

This is also on mobile- I haven't tried this site on desktop yet.

Also idk how I feel about all of these changes as a whole lol

[Konnor97]

I just noticed, is there no way to see what people are viewing a topic anymore?

[Skfoos]

You can see it on a user's profile, not sure if it's viewable on the main forum page.

I think this makes me realize how many of SF's functions were custom code more than anything.

RIP Spaghetti

(I also seem to be Stumped ™  in how to change my vote @.@)

What did it used to be?

 

Also, will we be getting sigs back?  I want to inflict my art on people, still.

We had 20 last update.

40 used to be an option a while back but I'm assuming it's still gone?

If you skip to a page (not like the last one, but more 6 and more), it takes forever holy

[Knight Falchion]

I also have the issue of getting a blank screen when going to a new page, but reloading the tab seems to fix that for me (on mobile and laptop). 

My overall impression of the change is neutral, though I do miss being able to type in plain text since that's how I did everything and now I don't know how to embed videos anymore lol

[Arch]

Feels pretty much like the same old IPB to me, which is my own little way of saying "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA".

Hopefully there's a good replacement search feature plugin out there? Cuz I still can't find jack shit using the sarch bar on this site.

[Magical Glace]

I too miss the plaintext mode.

Embedding videos?

copy the link, and post it directly into the postbox

All right, thanks for that

[Darros]

Is the New Content button like gone? I can't seem to find it. Might be me being dense though.

Just keep in mind that a lot of conversion processes are still running in the background at this very moment and because of this the following abnormalities may occur:

In other words, I believe things like broken spoiler and quote tags are perfectly normal for the time being...

Keep in mind that I'm not a technical staff member on this forum, but just a regular user. I just made these conclusions based on the source below.

Key points that need fixed before things can even seem normal again:

• Non-rounded 100x100+ avatars
• Enable signatures
• Enable full reply page
• Separate user info from post body using different background color

[Zanarkin]

Question... How do i change the forum's color scheme?

 

also, Posts are posted and the page reloaded automatically. I like that. NVm read the update post.

If anyone wants to temporarily enact the avatar and sidebar style edits, add this CSS to Stylish (Addon for Firefox & Chrome) under serenesforest.net domain:

 

aside.ipsComment_author.cAuthorPane.ipsColumn.ipsColumn_medium img {
	height: auto ! important;
	width: auto ! important;
	max-width: 150px ! important;
	max-height: 150px ! important;
	border-radius: 0px ! important;
}

Clicking this lets you see Previews, fwiw. It's there, just not a seperate page like it used to be.

[Makaze]

All images are broken on my end. Every one we post.

[Freohr Datia]

Hey guys Darros found out that there is a my content option it's just kinda hidden

if you go into the activity tab in the very top you get this pulldown menu

and you can look at the Content I Posted In

and when you go into that page there's a checkmark you can click to prioritize that search

(my checkmark is green because I've already clicked it~)
