  1. Yeah. I think it's just a matter of people exploring the new profile pages. A lot of the old buttons are implemented there (and I think it's done fairly well).
  2. RE: MISSING "MY CONTENT" BUTTON I need some explanation about what you're missing compared to the new system. I didn't use "My Content" much, so I don't know. In the new system it looks like you have way more control, now: Go to your (or anyone's) profile page, click the "See My Activity" button, and then on the left-hand-side sort options, click topics, or posts, etc. Example: Tay's Profile: My Content: Topics (Link) http://forums.fuwanovel.net/profile/221-tay/?do=content&type=forums_topic&change_section=1
  3. BMs Can't Move/Merge/Lock/Etc: Fixed BM Permissions NOTIFICATIONS I think I fixed the options! Can I get some people to go into their notifications settings and see if the options are unlocked and the defaults changed around, as requested? Oppression of the masses: can't post to TL/Dev boards directly I'm okay giving that a try, @Nosebleed. I'll make the change now, but the inevitable bloodbath will rest on your conscience, not mine.
  4. Done on purpose. You have been fired and scheduled for execution. ... Also, this is b/c I've been modifying the ACP access secondary permission group b/c it was causing havoc. I'll try to get this fixed today.
  5. Inconsistent Line Spacing Added. No ideas. Possible: text under the quote in some posts disappear? Added. I'm not having this problem. Who else is seeing this? Donations Link Not Working On purpose : ). Haven't configured that, yet. Rooke's Theme Broken Good riddance. Ok. That's... weird. Added, in any case. Likes back to anonymous? Weird. Just double-checked all the permissions. Is this still happening? If so, please let me know. Fuwa Recognition Blog RSS broken on other sites Yeah. Makes sense. I just need to remove them. I'll do it soon. (Though, actually, maybe I wont. I feel like it's my job to make your Reviews Hub as ugly as possible, Ryechu). (Note: this also goes for other Fuwa sites, like the blog) Flash of red before colors reload on FuwaFabulous Edited the defaults. Not sure why this is happening. Users can Post threads in TL Projects Forum Fixed. Bwah ha ha. Can't be allowing people to post freely. No sir. Oppression and red tape. Now that's what we need. There's no longer a "Back to top" button underneath every post Tragedy. But... Added. The chat option in the Ignore user settings is removed As in ignoring certain chatters? Chat has no longer a pop-up option Chat is getting a huge update soon from Invision. In the meantime, I can configure it so that whenever you click the "Chat" app, it DOES pop out, but it'll pop out for everyone. I'll turn it on right now and you can tell me if you like the change or not. Chat is smaller compared to before, also the avatars no longer shows up in the chat messages. Agreed. This is no bueno. Something Nay will need to help me fix (page CSS and stuff). Profile cover photo is now extremely small, compared to before, really annoying. Although, the upload for the cover photo is improved. I have to think it's possible to make them bigger.... but yeah, that's something we'll look into. The message feed in the small box is gone, which is annoying. Please put that back. You posted a picture of this, but I can't figure out what's wrong. Can you explain it to me like I was five? Or Rooke? Ghost Editing showing up for staff I'm annoyed by the edit notations as well. Is this our price for unlimited cosmic powers? Also: all users should now have the power to ghost edit their posts. Clear Formatting Button Added it back, Nosebleed, along with a post w/out formatting code

    (Hopefully fixed.)
  7. Youtube videos, forum links, etc., now auto-embed. You don't need specific tags. General Issue for anyone with time/desire to help: As far as getting other stuff back, I need help identifying broken BBCodes. We can upload almost any CKEditor plugin we need, so if you can help me find out what's lacking, we can find the appropriate plugin and fix it all in one fell swoop.
  8. Added. Not something I'll be able to fix, but something to compare against after 4.1 comes out at the end of the month.
  9. What do we think of it now? 8 + 6. Other Issues I Think I've fixed (need your help confirming!): Likes are currently anonymous. This is not acceptable. This should be fixedCan anyone confirm?Note to self: Let user groups get the “ghost edit” permission set Everyone should now be able to edit posts with or without adding an edit messageCan anyone confirm?Recent visitors on profile pages are limited to one, meaning it will always show you and no one else, making it an effectively useless feature. Should be between 1 - 5 depending on screen size. It's currently 3 for me.Can anyone confirm?A link to the front page is absent (Maef) FYI: this was on purpose, Maef. I have to fix two menu items before I can turn it back on. The Home button is made and everything, just need to get things ready for it, first.
  10. There's a lot to be done here on the forums, and since I've been at this all day my brain's getting a wee bit tired. Thus, I need your help: Can anyone help me identify which BBCode is still broken on the site?Does anyone know where we got the old spoilers BBCode? Anyone have the literal code we used to use? If it's possible, I'd much prefer we go back to using the old oneIf you find a broken bit of BBCode and you can't tell what it originally was, just post a link to the post (click the share icon in the top-right of a post to get that particular post's specific URL)
  11. Went through all the forums by-hand and figured out where the problems were. This issue should be fixed. Updated OP.
  12. What do you mean? All specifics are much appreciated : )
  13. NEW FEATURES WORTH MENTIONING You can tag other forums users in your posts. Just write “@” and then their username, and wait a bit – a menu will pop up allowing you to choose the user.Our WYSIWYG editor is more stable and MUCH more moddableProfiles are now much more dynamic and have a neat new follower systemBlogs now have a lot of new design options and content blocks. Importing feeds SHOULD work better than before, too.We can now create Q & A forums if there’s a reason for oneLots of back-end improvements that lets us easily change a ton of things around the forumsPeople have now discovered the “Mark Site as Read” button(Mods, admins, literally anyone who has editing powers here – feel free to add other good stuff here)The forums sidbar updates every 60 seconds, so freshly new topics may not show up immediately. Just give them a minute, and they'll appear. BUGS/PROBLEMS (Green text indicates an issue is resolved or fixed) THEMES 1. New Forums Theme Called “Temporal” Any interest in making a different logo/hosting a logo competition for it?Background Images: If you click on the paintbrush (the design menu) you can choose between a few background images. If you want different ones, get the rights to (or written permissions for) a nice image and then contact me : P2. FuwaFabulous If there are colors you want me to add back into the color picker, go get the hex colors from the Wayback Machine and send them to me. These sorts of changes are obnoxious, so we need to share the pain.3. All Themes Index page sidebars are not properly ordering new posts - FIXEDAvatar sizes are weird and strict. Tay or Nay needs to figure out where in the ACP you can relax the rules (both on dimensions and size, probably)For some reason there isn’t a space between “Location” and the user’s designated “location” on the user profiles (and user info boxes next to posts)Find out if it’s possible to hide chat bubbleIt’s EASY to narrow the functional part of the forums (see how there are sections of background to the right and left of the forums content?). Right now we’re using 90% of the screen space for the content. If you want me to lower that, I will drop it to 85%. Before I do so, however, someone should personally (or convince Eclipsed to : P) agree to make a poll for feedback on this changeCan’t hide sidebar: sorry, Lewy : (. Anybody had any luck hiding it? (Note: if you have designer access (like ACP access people or GMs), DO NOT DELETE THE CONTENT BLOCKS)My Content” button is gone. Need to figure out what replaced it.4. “Gravity Green 2013” Theme is no longer supported by its dev and was not upgraded to support IPB 4. That’s why it’s missing. The dev has no plans on upgrading it. FORUMS APP Fix avatars limitsLikes are currently anonymous. This is not acceptable. FIXEDNotifications are not working like they used to. Need to figure out the best way to establish user settings to make them more useableThe old friends system is goneNote to self: Let user groups get the “ghost edit” permission set FIXEDNotifications options are restricted to everybody. What’s up with that?Recent visitors on profile pages are limited to one, meaning it will always show you and no one else, making it an effectively useless feature. FIXEDMake Profiles default to the “About Me” pageProfile pages aren’t prominently displaying user’s last status messageNo full editor feature when editing a post (?)Profile pages – customization options?Is there no longer an option to preview posts before posting?Does the user receive a notification when they are tagged with @?Is the "go to first unread post" option gone on the thread page?Auto line skip when pressing enter is a little annoying.You can't see all of the emoticons unless you type a single character into the search fieldNew messaging system lists participants triggers Nosebleed’s OCD and is literally Hitler.When you go to "edit my profile" the box to edit your interests is incredibly small. You can only see two(?) lines of text at a time and IIRC it was larger before.Reporting a member (not a post, the actual member) seems to be goneRaw BBCode editing is absentSpoiler tag in chat is absentA link to the front page is absent (< this was on purpose, Maef. I have to fix two menu items before I can turn it back on. The Home button is made and everything, just need to get things ready for it, first)Spoiler BBCode as it exists now doesn’t work as well as the last one. Ex: You need to delete an entire spoiler if you want to delete it because to the BBCode problem. Since you can't edit raw code, you have to copy content, delete all spoiler and then paste.Impossibility to reset font size automatically (size 14 btw, old one was 12 IIRC)Be able to change your star ratings on blogs, etc.Image compression screwed up some images in blogsCan’t add headers to articlesBlog header images messed up due to difference in formattingNeed report option in chatNeed some rich text editing features in the chatNow, when I click on sidebar topics [even the ones I've never read before], it takes me to the latest post of it, instead of the last seen [or first], which is pretty annoyingZaka says: if you edit an off-site blog post that's RSS linked the new one gets pulled and you have a lovely double post to deal with. I'm not sure if this is preventable, intended, or needed in general. Zaka doesn’t make any sense. What Zaka means is that imported feeds are at risk of doubling up. Tay understands Zaka. Tay will look into this.Incorrect posting permissions for some forums - FIXED (Link)The post preview when hovering over topics is neat, but it seems kind of buggy. Specifically, when clicking between "First post" and "Latest post" it sometimes closes itself.

  14. I'm in the middle of compiling all the errors, bugs, problems we've seen into a single thread. Once that's done, I'm going to compile the other threads I made into a single hellish vortex and banish it into the archive. tl;dr: I am getting your emails/PMs/posts, but I need a little time to surface and not drown. Working on it now.
  15. NOTIFICATIONS: The notifications are all screwed up. I'm out of my depth with them, so hopefully Nay can help me figure it out this weekend. AVATARS: Removed the rounding, but I can't figure out why the avatar rules are so weird OR where to change them in the ACP. It may be because my brain is tired. Or maybe it's just stuck in a strange spot.
  16. I like the old avatar system (with flexibility of sizes), but I can't figure out what's causing our current limits. I'll need Nay's help. (Or, just as likely, my brain is just tired)
  17. Removed round avatars on FuwaFabulous. They'll be gone from all the rest shortly.
  18. Woah, wait. What? The round avatars are still there? They aren't there for me... Maybe because I'm an admin. On it.
  19. Admins can't change those notification options, either. ... So... that's nice.
  20. SIDEBARS - Now fixed. NOTIFICATIONS - No idea. We need to put out the @Nayleen signal! ANON LIKES - This bugs me. Looking into it.
  21. Walks forth from the empty, post-apocalyptic hellscape of IPB 3...

      Tay, I have a question if you don't mind. I might have been absent from time to time so I didn't fallow all the announcements about the main page. Who is in charge of it? Cuz' I've seen new VN's getting out and no changes in the actual front page. Shouldn't Last Resort be showed in there?

      Also, donation button still doesn't work. At least for me...

      Hey there,

      Ultimately, yeah, that's me and it's my fault that the front site is still a bit stagnant. We're working on rebooting the front site, but you're absolutely right: there's no reason why we haven't added at least some of the new releases. I'm going to go check with Nay, and then I'll put this on my to-do list.

      For what it's worth, the lack of love to the front site wasn't based in laziness. There were concerns about the current database vs the new reboot's database (thus why I need to talk to Nay). Further, I've been wanting to add pages for licensed games, too, but I'm not able to easily add features to pages, such as a "Buy it here" button.

      RE: Donate button -- should be fixed by Tuesday. I'm having trouble with Paypal and the forums' donation app. That's on my to-do list for tomorrow and, if needed, Monday and Tuesday, so I plan to have it fixed by then. Thank you very much for the generosity!

      Did that address your questions? I'm all ears for pushback or more thoughts/questions : )

      Thanks for the reply. Honestly, the main feature that I loved about the main page was the Browse and Upcoming pages, it was never about the torrents. Yeah, we have VNDB for searching, but it's so much convenient and better to search translated VN's the way it is presented there. Please don't change that.  Having licensed games and ones in the works from Mangagamer, for example, should be in the upcoming/browse section as well. However, I realize that updating the translation percentage for every VN is time consuming, and I wouldn't mind if you take that out (you already give excellent update on the translation blog anyway), just as long as current upcoming VN's are there, and for more info you can link to forum or something. And link to directly buy a game it is a great idea, but that shouldn't be a priority. ˇˇ

      Keep up the good work.

  22. Added a new theme to the forums to celebrate the long-overdue fulfillment of prophecy. This one is called "Temporal". It's got a lot of cool features: the background colors will change throughout the day (Night, sunrise, daytime, sunset). The logo at the top isn't anything special, just a placeholder. Maybe we should host a competition for making a new logo for it? Give it a try! Please let me know about any problems you have, or suggestions you have for its improvement.
  23. Things You'll Probably Love and/or need to know: You can now tag people in posts, just like I'm doing right now: @solidbatmanThe WYSIWYG editor is now an editable ckeditor, which means we can consider adding some of the thousands of ckeditor extensions out thereGravity Green 2013 no longer works with the forums software : (Tons of new email options, including daily/weekly digests, as well as customizing the emails you're receiving (in your User CP)Profiles are now an effective way of tracking your own, or someone else's activityBlogs get some great new blocks to customize their pagesBlogs get new design optionsImporting a feed into a blog now works much better than beforeLinks to stuff like Youtube and Twitter now auto-embedPost drafts now auto-save as you go! (!!!!!one11!!!!!)We've got some new apps to play around withPolls are more dynamic nowMods have many more tools at their disposal to oppress the proletariat massesBlogs can create header images (let me know if you have problems with this!) Options We can now theoretically create Q & A forumsWe now have much more control over aesthetics of the themesWe now have lots of new tools for featuring popular posts, similar content, etc.Tons of new ACP settings Technical Changes Obviously lots of aesthetic changesSome users' had a different log-in name than their public-facing forums display name back on IPB 3. After the upgrade these two were merged together. From here on out you'll simply log-in with your display name (the name that was public-facing before the upgrade).The sidebar on the forums index is now being cached every minute or so, meaning that when you post a new thread, it won't show up on the sidebar for ~a minute
  24. This thread used to be three separate threads dealing with A) the IPB 4 upgrade, B) our new theme, and C) Feedback. In a twist that surprised absolutely nobody, this attempt at being organized only fueled the madness and panic that users were feeling in the streets. I have extracted all the information, feedback, and bugs from this thread, and put it in a new one. Therefore: this thread is more or less a decayed corpse of rage and fear. You're welcome to read it and enjoy it, but all discussion on this topic should now go into the new thread. FEEDBACK, ERROR REPORTING, AND INFO IS NOW FOUND IN A NEW THREAD: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears; On this day, the Eighth of October, twenty fifteen, history was made, and history was reborn! My friends, I bid you welcome… To IPB 4.0 Please report bugs/anomalies here in this thread. IPB 4 gives us a lot more control over aesthetics than IPB 3 did, so if you have design suggestions you can post them here as well. I'd especially like feedback about the text editor, themes, and overall changes. Note: IPB 4 queues a bunch of background processes during installation, so it's likely still combing through the forums updating the database. That means there WILL be "bugs" which will self-resolve after the combing ends. I decided to keep the forums closed to the public until most of those processes were complete, but a few are still running and may give you glitches. Please report them in this thread.
