lets talk about what we will miss from the old site ;P

[Crimson Dragon Inc.]

ok everyone lets make a memorial to the old site  i loved it but this new site once you figure out how to get to everytthing is better over all.... for now


new things i like are instant emoji's and quick access to all activity


but the old site we have so many memories that we dont want to lose so post your favorite memories on the old site


mine was meeting all my friends on the forums

 

[AwesomeCool]

The ability to go to the main store, home page, blog from the forums (I do not mean the forum store).


The ability to look at older status updates from the recent section (are there even less shown now)?

 

[EternalShadow]

- Manually-formatted BBcoded post previews


- Sidebar view on mobile site (Due to responsive design, but that isn't responsive design - that's a hidden thing! To make it truly responsive, the sidebar contents should appear below the actual forum content...)


- Option to reply to topics in mobile view is nonexistent at the moment (I assume this is a bug)


More later.

- Manually-formatted BBcoded post previews

That is terrible for me. D:

 

[EternalShadow]

That is terrible for me. D:

Yeah, if you copy a game page from another site (for example) with [b*] everywhere, you can't preview it at all unless you basically redo it all :/


 


Oh yeah, another one:


 


- easy access to "view content by this user"


EDIT: SERIOUSLY?! THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! TYPING [b*] SHOULD NOT AUTO-ADD A [/b*]  AND FORMAT EVERYTHING!

 

[amaSenpai]

This new format looks like it's making things easier to do (or at least quicker) but my profile page now has a typo that I can't fix. It looks like the HTML is trying to poke through? I dunno. 


Edit: Also, how do we look at our created content? I don't want to find my topics just to add to them every single time

 

[EternalShadow]

Another one:


- Spoiler tags now broken. It's basically impossible to edit my game page now *facedesk*

 

[Victor Sant]

It's simplicity. I really don't like when something i use is so loaded with unwanted "cool" features (specially those automated ones). This was the reason i abandoned Firefox, because it was quite plain and simple at first, but then they loaded it with many "tools" that for me were useless and just made the browser slower.

 

[Sausage_Boi]

Damn, I already miss the "related topics" at the bottom of the screen when you are viewing a forum topic.

 

[DustyZiroto]

I love how you can be BOLD with your statuses now.


Ha ha.


No really, the only thing I miss is the original mobile site layout.


I normally go into full mode when I'm on my phone, and I don't see where that feature is present.


This site is a pain to navigate in mobile. Heck any site is a pain to navigate in mobile mode.

 

[amaSenpai]

Has anyone had problems using the search feature?

 

[Rodak]

Has anyone had problems using the search feature?

Search worked OK for me.  Just has the few "best" ones up top - then the "real" results after that.  I prefer to just get to the full list without that, but it's not a show-stopper for me.


I miss the old "favicon"  (the little picture in our browser tabs and list of bookmarks).


It used to be the white and orange squares from the top of the page and now it's an ugly blue "V" thing.  I guess it's the forum software default.


It's really no big deal, but I got used to looking for the image that matched the graphics on the site and still hesitate when I see the new one.



I'm sure there are many more pressing issues which need attention first, but this is a simple little fix and I hope it makes it to the list of things to do somewhere near the end and doesn't get left as it is permanently.

 

[Iavra]

Non-WYSIWYG editor (source) and being able to reply to status updates on the main site.

 

[Chester]

Goodbye friend list.....it will be cold and lonely with you meow

 

[mlogan]

 


- easy access to "view content by this user"

If I hover over your name in this thread, I can select "find content".

 

[EternalShadow]

If I hover over your name in this thread, I can select "find content".

Ooh, that's one way to do it. Oddly, it can't be done directly without a post unless I go to 'activity' (or whatever) on my own profile.

 

[mlogan]

If I go to your profile, I can view your activity. Which is the same way it was on the old site, right?

 

[Bakuda]

Skinny embedded soundcloud player.  The new one is big and bulky, like this:

 

[petschko]

I miss:


-BB-Code


-Non ultra-Modern look or like I say "socialsite"


-Recent Topic (view)


-Friend list


-Less Javascript-Hell (or much of them)


-Non-Flat design - (Link should stop here...) I don't get it why so many guys are getting <3 by Flat designs I find Ultra-Flat design ultra ugly... -.- Buttons have to shown as buttons and not as area that you can maybe click or not


-BB-Code


-hm have I already spoken about BB-Code?


Thats all folks^^
