Board Change Announcements

^ Just went and checked it out - there are buttons for show/don't show your online status in both privacy and preferences. I clicked both, saved the changes in both, and... still visible!

 

How did you guys check to see if you were hidden? I think you'll always be able to see your own online status.

 

I'm seeing the button on my phone, can you show me a screenshot of yours?

 

Yeah, I thought about that last night. When I see my posts in the thread I have that little green tab at the upper left corner of my avatar, but haven't yet coordinated with another boardie to ask them what they see while I'm logged in.

I'm over there now, 10am EST - someone care to have a look and PM me a report?

 

Future test: thanks to @evom @foto junkaay @TiredChildren

 

I noticed the 'View your posts' button hasn't been carried over. It wasn't something I often used, but it was sometimes useful to filter out all the discussions you don't feel are pertinent to you, when searching for stuff. But of course, I can see how having too many headers/links is quickly going to be very cumbersome on the top of the board.

 

I changed up my signature over there when we were first testing things out. I just went back in and tried to paste my old info in and got this message:

and the preview didn't reflect my font size choices, either.

Der code:

Tell me more, Master James!

Related: I haven't found a comparable option to search user's posts when checking somebody else's profile.

 

Pretty sure James would be the one suffering a serious headache from all of us nerds nitpicking his [very generous, and completely free] handiwork with our inane demands and comments all day long.

I kid, but seriously, I recognise that this is actually a serious project, and a major undertaking for someone to handle (let alone in their spare time), just because they want to help out some hoighty-toity toy geeks.

 

This is a permissions thing. I haven't updated the permissions for users creating signatures yet, so if your signature copied over in the import, then it's over there, but if you go to make changes to it you're stuck with very limited options. Once I do the full transition I'll be sure that everyone's permissions for things like that are correct.

 

Animated avatars are apparently a problem on XenForo. I'm looking into it.

 

^ Thanks Kay, that's also a permissions issue. It'll be fixed when we go live with the change.

 

Will boardie birthdays still be a part of the front page? I fear for Canadian Steve's well being if not!

 

Will all mods be transferring over in their respective roles (and forums they are supposed to be in charge of), or are you taking on sole 'responsibility' for the new board?

All hail the Mod Overlord!
