Cadamier Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 So... Is there no way to change how these forms look now?!? At night and in the dark, its fine but in broad daylight... It sucks! Not to mention that there are people whom seemingly and deliberately post dark texts. I prefer a high contrasting text vs. background... So I don't have to put any effort into reading stuff. But without any choice now... It bites the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphaniner Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 See this thread. Long story short, the old forum software was end of life and this theme was supposed to be a placeholder. There was a lot of discussion in that thread at first (including from TFP staff @Brains who runs the forums) but it went quiet a while ago.

SylenThunder Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The guys are working on a new forum engine since vBulliten is sucking balls. Once they have it all configured they way they want it and made nice and pretty, we'll be switching. As a result, this default junk will be going away, so we don't need to worry about it much. It's just temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphaniner Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 We appreciate your patience during this time of quarante...er....forum transition. Yeah, but it's kind of disappointing there isn't a stickied thread that's periodically updated to keep us apprised of said transition... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Update: We have purchased the license for Invision. That is the platform we will be moving to. Now, backing everything up and converting it over and working out bugs is commencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Update: The database is too large to be able to migrate it so all posts (other than the modding forum and the announcement forum) from more than 2-3 years old will be pruned. I'm not sure whether this will affect post counts but then again I'm not sure whether post counts will live through the change over anyway. (Might be the only way to catch up with Guppy)...

No post counts usually won't survive the migration. BTW, what the hell with the color scheme now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Update: We are systematically deleting all threads from 2017 and before in order to shrink the size of the database. This will affect reputation and post counts and make some of us look like we actually have a life outside the forums. This may upset some understandably and we apologize for the loss. It is unavoidable as we prepare to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiThaYe Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 If I may, I have a relevant question to the forum display options in that the fonts are very small read and if we could have 3 options: small/medium/large? I know the font sizes are set by the poster, however, there are a lot of threads from 2018/2019 that didn't scale too well with the sexy new forum theme. P.S. Roland, since you said "all threads" please consider archiving these legacy mod threads as not every mod was uploaded to Nexus or available on GH. On that note, what about mega mod threads where the original post started before 2017 but was simply updated with each major revision and continues to be active to this day?

We're going by last post date. So if it's current, and active, it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 What Sylen said. If it hasn't been touched by anyone for over 2 years then it goes. I wish my wife would let me handle the garage the same way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
