Loving the new design

+1 on dknise for spamming this thread.

I have to say it again. The new software and skin look absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I'm loving it more and more the more I'm on here.

I use the 'new posts' almost exclusively, curious on how others browse the site/forum topics.

Thanks, and its not even done yet. And point of clarification... it's not a SKIN either as I don't want my forum to look like everything else out there; I've taken the initiative and totally customized it myself. It's totally cool that I know how to do it because after all, ya know, learning to program is stupid.

Love the progress meter. MJ puts his customers first

And the design is top-notch.

Oh trust me, I was well aware! I just didn't know what to call it! This is by far the best looking forum I have ever seen. Phenomenal job, MJ, I'll be raving about it for months haha.

Still getting used to the new look. I will miss the old color scheme, but so far the redesign is a hit!

The New posts section alone makes this forum so much better!

When will TapaTalk be back up and running?

I really hated this design at first but I can't even believe how much it's grown on me. Great job. Best forum I have seen to day.

I dont like it
How can I change it back to normal?

You should be able to switch inbetween the New and Old Layout.
Im sure you can work this out MJ aka Multimillionaire

 

[MJ DeMarco]

I'm looking for the setting to reverse the post order within a thread. I had the old platform set to display the most recent posts first.

You can now do this from your PREFERENCES PANEL.

Looks real nice. Am I able to reduce the size of avatars? I'd like more compact reading of posts and less scrolling due to large avatars. thanks!

Someone asked about avatar size, the default is 180x180.

Am I able to reduce the size of avatars?

I plan on having another available style with a more compact design, but that still might be a week away.

There's a bug in the porting over of older posts (I noticed it in one of BioPhase's posts, but it's all over the old content), where the apostrophe in contractions is replaced by this group of symbols: ’

I don't know why that would happen, but just to make everyone aware.

Just a point of information, the speed system and point awards are all screwed up -- so just ignore for now.

 

[TJPB]

Looks like since I had a custom label ("Brand Whisperer" in my case) previously, the speed doesn't show in this new format? Is there a way to change that?

Will TapaTalk be supported again?

 

[theag]

Thanks for the new "last posts" box on the front page. Thats what I meant in an earlier post. Looks even better than with the old design!

 

[Black Wolf]

The new design is good. Just to echo OP - Clean and uncluttered.

Just my view, but I rather like the serif font.

@MJ any chance of making Tapatalk app work again?

 

[Ravens_Shadow]

Two questions: Is the site done? I no longer see the alert on the front page telling me progress.

How can I change my speed to a custom label again? Seems to have been banished.

I lost a lot of speed in the new design if it is done, last I saw the alert said 55%. but youre right it is gone now. Good question

Yeah, I was at 65 kph before forum change, not any more, so I lost my speedway pass. Fine with me however, I should probably earn it back anyway.

 

[throttleforward]

I noticed my speed/speedway pass went away as well. But I'm sure I'll get it back with what I'm cookin

 

[MJ DeMarco]

For the most part it is "done" although I haven't stopped working on it. Ill post a main thread (soon, hopefully today or tomorrow) explaining all the changes/differences/etc. Due to limitations in the software, some things could not be converted, or converted accurately.

As for TapaTalk, I doubt I will reinstall it. There are several reasons why which I won't go into here, but do a search for "Xenforo TapaTalk" and you will see why I've opted to discontinue using that service. (Security issues, slow, data control issues, etc.) The alternative is to use an alternate style for the forum designed for mobile, and which is native to the board. (The board works fine in tablets, there are challenges in mobile phones.) I am currently working on that.

TapaTalk I use that 95% of the time.

Speed: 100MPH from old forum should = 161KPH.

Otherwise, I like the new design.

 

[Ravens_Shadow]

I hope a separate speed button gets added back, currently we can't give speed. I'm sure you know that though.
