GunMedia_Ben 3,032 Posted April 20, 2017 So, we got a new forum as you can see. We'll need to get a new skin for the place as the old one is no longer compatible. Will see about changing things up here, soon. Other than that, things should be fairly similar to what you've been doing on here since the beginning. This was mainly a user-interface update and security has been bolstered (probably.) -Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothingface 613 Posted April 20, 2017 Neet! (Snaps Pictures) When I clicked leader boards I thought it was IN GAME leader boards for a second. I was all hyped... but this is good too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bewareofbears 4,255 Posted April 20, 2017 It's tidy'd up nicely. I'm a little worried we'll get people begging for likes because of the leaderboard but thus is the nature of social media. Edit: I don't know how to quote people anymore... I have some learning to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, you're right- I want one of those terrible employee of the month photos you see at grocery stores. As king, I demand it. Seriously though, I think I like the changes to the forum.

ikarikh 588 Posted April 20, 2017 To anyone worrying, the leaderboards actually existed prior, it was just at the very bottom of the board and not super noticeable. But it always existed to see who had the most posts, who the top posters of the day are, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShankerOne 398 Posted April 20, 2017 I think some of the sub forum posting options are off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ikarikh 588 Posted April 20, 2017 So one huge issue to note is profile pics/avatars are now absolute horrendous quality when you upload a new one. Reuploaded my pic to mine thinking with the forum upgrade it'd be BETTER than the crappy quality of the old one but it was actually WORSE now and looks all pixellated as anything regardless of what resolution I use. Also personally hate the new cover pictures as no matter what size or resolution you use, you can only see the top portion of the picture. :/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gdain 369 Posted April 20, 2017 Am I really that stupid that I can't even figure out how to put up a profile pic from my phone lol. Or do I need to be on a computer. By this point I should have at least figured this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SenatorJPO 13 Posted April 20, 2017 Changes that I notice: • Signatures are gone. -I do see -some- merit in this, as having multiple animated GIFs among signatures does lag browsers. • Background images no longer wrap-around the background on profiles. -They're more like "header" images. No more ruining the foreboding theme of this forum, by having a bright, expansive wallpaper covering the background gloom. • Thread viewers are no longer displayed. (Many of you remember, they used to appear the bottom of threads.) -If you want to know who's viewing which thread, then you must visit the profile of that individual. This, of course, will encourage more profile views. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though after futzing with it a bit, I think it'll be ok. Just as long as I can easily keep up with evolving topics/unread posts. 3 minutes ago, thatdudescott said: Risinggrave.

It just has the words "Property of Skeletor" etched into the handle. Also somebody drew a penis with permanent marker for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JyusannichiKibou 54 Posted April 20, 2017 Please make the layout more compact. The current skin wastes lots of screen real estate with empty space. =( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothingface 613 Posted April 20, 2017 Huh... The Why No Release Date Yet? thread is locked and I cant put new comments into it. Is that because of the forum restructuring? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
