Wanted to get the bbs look closer to where it was, we still have more work to do tomorrow.

I've just noticed that the bbs is now hosted on central US time, verse the old boards time setting

... we still have more work to do tomorrow.
HiTech
If we start beating you up, here are some if the lines we used to use back in the day:
- It is a lot more like it is now than it was even 10 minutes ago.
- We really can not tell what you are pointing to, it works for us. Are you running on the latest production release/patches?
I'm sure I'll remember one or two others in the middle of the night...
Thanks for all the effort. It is appreciated.
:salute

"My programs don't have bugs...they just develop random features."

I'm just glad for the colors. That's how I keep tabs of whether I'm at the right place or not (guess it sounds odd - but yeah).

I love the new "Babes" section of the forums, nice touch.
nono, just kidding, not there :neener:

Could the HOME link at the top of the page return to taking you to the AH home page? that was really convenient when I want to check my plane stats.
Dammit ROC, I looked! :x

What are plane stats??
-
I wouldn't mind the return of that one feature where I would click on a topic with a new post, and it would automatically take me to said new post. Maybe I'm missing something in the profile settings? :headscratch:
-
So I can see what plane I'm most successful in....or what I need to work on, which is everything in all of them....

Actually, I kind of like the way it's set up now. It's close enough to what it was before to not feel different, but it's still different at the same time.
-
Adding some borders around each reply on a thread as well as some up above in the navigation pane would be nice. Keep up the good work. :salute

I have lost my "Copper Member" status! :bhead
Oh the humanity :O

I lost my "down low surrounded by red airplanes" location! :cry
It was really handy in letting people know where to find me if they ever wanted a fight. :)

This new layout is an affront to God!

You mean the New Sheep on their Backs Section????? :devil

Keep it simple, Stupid.
Enhance it only as far as it doesn't cause major work when it needs to be upgraded or replaced.
It's a BBS, not a bloody shrine.
With respect.

You have to click on the "new" icon for it to take you to the next post you have not read.

That will make its return, in a slightly different manner. Maybe. :)

That was a mod to the previous version. I have it on the list to see if this new version has a similar mod.
-
Can we get back 100 answers/topics per page? This new version only allows 50 max.
It's nice to not have so many pages per topic.
:salute

There is one slightly annoying thing I have found with the new BBS:
When I create a post with images embedded in it the images themselves now appear inside the "Post Reply" box. Previously you would just see the image text address in between "img" codes and you had to hit "preview" to see the message with images. Personally I found it easier to edit forum messages the old way, having large images in the text box is awkward.
-
I prefer the new white one :old: :D
-
I am not happy with the change but will be patient.
Seems like when I click on a thread with imbedded pictures it shrinks the text to fit the photo, so now, instead of zooming to see the photo like before, I have to zoom to read the text. Not sure that was what you intended, but.....
As with anything, we will adapt. At least it is up and running again. :)

These are modifications (SMF mods) to the previous board. I still have to look for those mods, or something close to them. Right now the priority has been to get the style set, then go after the mods.

You can change which look you want in your profile, under the "Look and Layout" options.

Just want to say thanks to you at HTC for giving a damn about our experience with the game and the BBS.

I think this one is fixed now.

The background colors have change somewhat. Looks sharper. I like the changes.

I love this though, every time I hit the refresh button something is different. It's like playing roulette! :)

TapaTalk should now be operational.
Which was one of the reasons for the update.

ok I will show my dumbness what is"TAPATALK"
A mobile application to make it easier to deal with bulletin boards on a mobile device. Also makes them all appear in a consistent manner.
-

Smartphone/tablet app that allows mobile devices and tablets to see the forum on a smaller screen. It's pretty good. :aok

There are some things about this new board you should be aware of.
1) If you do not like the WYSIWYG post editor, you can turn it off in your Profile (Look and Layout). This will restore the editor to how it used to look and work.
2) There are new fields in your profile for adding links to various social sites. Use them if you like.
Still working on adding various mods to get more of the functionality/feature set we had before, but we are getting close to being done. Minor tweaking still needs to be done on the overall look.
-
Is there an option to preview the first few lines of a post just by hovering the mouse pointer over it? I find that useful to help me to decide if I want to read a post...since too many people don't know how to create a meaningful subject line.

I'm glad I just aquired a new smartphone with a screen large enough to browse the forum conventionally. :old:

Using Tapatalk. Looks good so far.

Hear Hear, I've run a few message boards in my time, and I know upgrade time is always both frightening and difficult.
Nice job Skuzzy <S>!

I have posted hundred of nonsense replies to reach plutonium and now they're taken away :bhead :bhead :bhead :bhead

The stars are still there, the tags are missing. Working on it.
That was a mod to the older board, and no longer available for the newer board. Going to have to get creative.

You better mister! :furious

Half Life 3 confirmed.

It would be really cool to imbed YT videos - is that possible with this update?
-
Links at the top of the page "Show new replies to your posts" and "Add/Remove users to/from a private forum" need to be separated.
-
They aren't married on my end.
-
hmmm. I was still in "compatibility mode" due to how the BBS rendered content before the BBS update. Removed it, and it looks fine now. Aren't computers wonderful...
-
It used to be when you hit the Home button it would take you to the main AH webpage. Now it take you to the forum main page. This is duplicated by the button that says Aces High Bulletin Board. I would like the old way back back.
-
Should all be done now.

He's right, just went back and it was fine.

Can't seem to find the location to add people to my ignore list.
-
click profiles, then in the box on the left at the bottom "buddies/ignore", When that page is open there is a button at the top to switch from the buddies list to the ignore list. Add names to the box at the bottom and click add.

That was stupidly hard to see with those colors. Thanks for pointing it out!
