Welcome to the new AfterDawn discussion forums!

Are you referring to the recent posts list? Unfortunately there's no way of listing new threads grouped by forum, as far as I can tell. You could instead watch the forums you're interested in and check out the watched forums list to see which have been updated.

That's probably the most harsh statement I've heard regarding the colour scheme so far. =D I'm trying to adjust it every day, and find a good balance between clean look and non-tuberculosis ward feel.

What would you change about the colours?

That pretty much sums it up - thanks, Ripper! Apparently the locked post flags weren't imported properly. Did you check this, @dRD ?

Hopefully the new BB codes and attachment feature can be put to good use!

For avatars you can either upload your own avatar or use an existing avatar from Gravatar. Yours fits the avatar size quite nicely. =)

 

Duly noted. I think the contrast in the posts themselves is alright, isn't it @ireland ? Viewing the forums for the first time on my Chromebook I notice that the "lightest" text (i.e. the one used in signatures, member card below the avatar, and other "dimmed" texts) is way too light in most places. I'll try and get that sorted out.

Thanks for pointing out the problem! Merged the posts to the announcement thread to help me keep better track of the issues.

 

That's a known issue with XenForo, that they have decided not to fix. I haven't implemented my changes to the resizer on this latest version of the software yet. I would prefer using Lightbox for all images.

Do you think that would be better? I tried the darker blue before, and it looked rather weird in most places.

 

Hi @Estuansis , copied your post over here from the graphics card thread to keep all the comments in one place.

We will most likely be moving away from the blue and orange color scheme as we update the main site later this year. I have grown fond of the colors myself, but it is starting to feel quite dated.

The font size has increased a bit, and I do like the serif font myself as well. Hopefully one day we will have all the user controls in one single place.

Actually we have closed the user profile section. Only users that have logged in can visit the pages anymore. If possible, you should migrate content from the old blogs to the XenForo account. For example you could add your PC specs to the "About You" field under personal details.

 

This has now been fixed, and all previously locked threads should once again be locked.

 

I noticed an issue regarding user tagging in posts (I was wondering why I wasn't notified for this post) . User tagging notifications does not work if you tag an user when editing a post. Notifications are only sent when a user is tagged when posting the message for the first time.

 

Apparently it's a feature. Can't really tell from this: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/tags-not-always-leading-to-notifications.56727/ . I didn't see a bug report on it either, so I would guess it's a feature. I guess sending out alerts from post edits could cause an alert to be sent with every edit unless they were tracked carefully, or previous alerts checked prior to creating a new one.

 

Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult (or too resource intensive) to implement. I haven't looked into the alerts table to see if it could be quickly queried against existing notifications, but I would imagine it wouldn't be too hard.

Not a big deal indeed. I'd say adding mentions/tags via edits is rather rare. I'm quite sure there won't be notifications if a quote is edited in either, so the behavior is probably consistent this way.
