Brains Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 We upgraded forums because our previous version was End of Life'd. The old theme wasn't compatible so we were not able to migrate it. We are working on a new theme but in order to get the forums back online we went with a default dark theme for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damocles Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I understand that the version update needed for future stability. But the visual style is still rather confusing. Usability: on very large threats (like the dev logs) , its not possible to jump directly to the last page of posts. It only advances one page at a time.

For the time being you can type in the page number at the top, or in the topic list there is a >> icon to click on next to the last post time that will take you to the last page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damocles Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Ok, I see there is a page selection at the bottom. Maybe you can edit the layout to also have it appear the the top. The "Game Modification" Subforum (linking to other forums under it) seems to use a default style. The image at the top might be better to use a banner that is wider but has less height. (currently uses a pretty large chunk of screen space) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The current design is just the default basic design. We needed to upgrade the forums first and the design will follow. Please be patient and we will get back a pleasing interface that is tailored to 7 Days to Die just as before. In the meantime please post what you like or want as far as features. For example, individual posts can be given a "thumbs up" that is publicly shown which is something we never had before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stallionsden Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 More space in thread opening posts would be good. 10 000 characters be usednup easily for bigger mods and threads easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damocles Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 It shows at the top for me. On large threads (like the A19 dev), on top it shows for me "one page advance" buttons, but detail page selections at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I would like that too. I often had to crop my NitroGen post down, to fit the limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pApA^LeGBa Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Tbh that brown/greenish look reminds me of things that usually go into the toilet. No offense, just my first thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppycur Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 First, holy crap brains is still alive. Second, the mobile editor is atrocious. Type a line, hit enter, backspace to the previous line to see some issues. Sometimes double text, sometimes not, but always several backspaces to go from one line to the previous. I get it's a default layout for the time being but please if possible choose a different editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppycur Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 The rep system is inaccessible from the player profile, as well. Seems to have moved to a "like" system, will that remain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 The rep system is inaccessible from the player profile, as well. Seems to have moved to a "like" system, will that remain? Adding a per post like system is something that I requested so hopefully that stays. It appears that the bar representing reputation is still intact but you are correct that there is no way to access it. Even in my admin interface I can no longer access the reputation system although the stat does appear in a player's profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimpy Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Now that the forum favors square profiles over flat ones, I'm going to have to retire my trusty sword profile pic. RIP sword 2017 - 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand it's going to be used more, but on the other hand I'm going to miss the personalized hilarity that comes with some reps (looking at you gazz).
