Migration Feedback

Question

16 minutes ago, Luminesce said:

So, signatures are broken/not displaying, even after I edited mine (it was still there, I just hit Save again). Custom ranks seem fine? I was able to edit mine just like personal text. The avatar system is automatically making us crop the image and by default it was like 5% zoomed in, and that's awful. It was easy to drag the corners back to 100% but the majority of people are going to get slightly zoomed in avatars on accident. I can't.. frickin.. single line break, which now looking at my Dreaming thread (that link was a little hard to do, but I guess it works) is a universal problem, with all line breaks having turned into double line breaks, and double line breaks - which I always used sparingly - are absolutely massive quadruple line breaks. That's, uh, extremely ugly. The code from embedding a Youtube video is still there too, albeit only the opening [video=youtube] and not the [/video] part.

I'll find more stuff later, I need to sleep, but those are the first things I saw. Oh, and notification settings are a huge mess, I need to turn all of that off.. "Content streams" you can customize to replace View Today's Posts seem OK, though the Condensed view isn't working/saving for me at all and I really don't like the extended view taking up so much space.

Edit: OH NO, [hidden] TAGS HAVE BEEN UNDONE LMFAO, that brings a lot of unexpected retroactive chaos to the forum
ooh, you can single-line break by hitting shift+enter instead of enter. That doesn't fix the fact that all line breaks were doubled in the transition though

also, the Preview button next to the text color options works, but it.. looks nothing like what it'll actually look like. hmm

And other stuff to come, for sure. I guess other people can use this thread if they've got quick things to post at the moment, but I assume after the initial rush (or maybe even now, I dunno) the Staff will prefer creating a new thread for each problem. But there's.. a lot of problems, so I think that would be overkill for now.

Oh, also not a fan of the Question/Best Answer format, for obvious reasons the community discussed years ago. It's probably hard to remove though and some Q&A threads may be marked as answered reasonably, but that's never really been the forum's style, to stop at one "best" answer.

My tulpas and I have a Q&A thread, which was the first (and largest) of its kind. Feel free to ask us about tulpamancy stuff there.

This board was created with the question type selected instead of the usual discussion one:

I think that the use of it is appropriate here, but you likely won't see it in any of the other boards. And feel free to make as many threads as you want for separate issues if nobody has mentioned it yet.

Ah, interesting. Well, the other things are still there for any admins to see. I'll bring them back up at a later date if they're still problematic.
Enny's separate thread for "I can see everybody's deleted posts" is a perfect example of what warrants being its own thread here, lol. Whether or not anyone else uses this thread, I have far too many things to bring up to make them each their own thread. I'll do that later on when it's not such a large, growing list

I doubt a post rank's helpfulness here. It may be helpful for some people if posts are upvoted, but most of the time Q & A threads can be answered within a few posts. By the time the post is upvoted... won't it already be answered?

I also noticed the broken code and ugly air in spaces. My main concerns are the hidden and spoiler tags hid information given a NSFW warning and now all of that is exposed. Hidden tags also greatly reduce post length, and I feel badly for anyone trying to read my GAT reviews.

It's worth noting that we do have spoiler support built into invitation community (It looks like a little eye, I will be adding it to the mobile theme soon but it exists in the desktop editor), but since it was a custom thing in mybb it didn't automatically convert. It may take manually editing them in when we see them, but I'll see if I can get something put in to make it happen automatically.

 

We are working on the signatures issue, it appears to be related to the theme and may be a setting somewhere.

 

I'll see what can be done about the other stuff.

The spoiler tags for Invision act like hidden tags from myBB. If you replaced every instance of [hidden] text [/hidden] with spoilers, that would fix that problem.

As for

 

text

, I don't know if there's an obvious conversion for that.

Wait... all of the spoiler myBB tags get converted to that... oh no

A few suggestions/requests:

The default posts per page should probably be set to 10 again, I don't see any benefit to keeping it at 25. Especially when hidden tags are out in the open like this, though we need to fix that just in general because it's really bad, but setting the default back to 10 would make threads like that less painful to get through

 

Can we get post numbers displaying somewhere in the post back? It was a nice feature, both for fun in LOTPW and for me to keep track of where I am in large threads like my Dreaming thread or a long PR/discussion

 

And, can we get Register Dates displayed under our post counts again? I know it's not necessary, but I really liked seeing how new or old a member was at a glance

Uh oh. Well, another thing then - when people would hide [this is a spoiler tag]a word[/end spoiler tag] in the middle of a sentence like that for it to be moused over, it now separates out the entire line into what used to be a hidden tag. It might be best to convert all [hidden]hidden tags[/hidden] into spoiler tags, and either remove old spoiler tags entirely or find a way to replace them. Either way, what was once spoiler'd is far less important to keep hidden than what was once Hidden'd.

I wish we had the little green/red/yellow dots saying if users are online. -J

yeah, seeing when people were online was pretty nice too, it looks like profile pages show if we're online or not, just not the part by posts.

 

Oh, speaking of, https://community.tulpa.info/user-tewi user profile links are broken now, which isn't the end of the world but would be nice to have redirects for. Actually, I can't manually go to people's pages anymore just like when the old forum software updated, because it gives a random number (register number or something) to each profile URL. Since there shouldn't be any duplicate names, it'd be much nicer to have profile URLs still be simple. Along the lines of /user-tewi, but I guess they don't have to be one to one, something like /profile/tewi would be good too.

I don't know if you saw this thread-

WARNING: NSFW content in spoiler text: https://community.tulpa.info/topic/15063-advanced-help-needed-unwanted-thoughtform/?tab=comments#comment-247107


Thankfully, it is currently obscured from view. However, undoing it would cause problems.

Also in regard to that thread I linked, apparently it says Guest edited the thread. Are there more threads where mods edited the posts and it displays guest instead?

Well, even that example is less of a big deal than Longbow's submission thread, but yes obviously it would be optimal to make both of them work. I guess at the very least we could convert both hidden AND spoiler tags into the new spoiler tag, though nearly all uses of spoiler text in the last 8 years were made with them not breaking lines in mind but instead being moused over, so it would be great if we found a plugin or something to recreate that (even if it's say click-to-reveal or highlight instead, etc.)

I really like both of those too, though if you mouseover a username, the pop-up will show their registration date.

I don't know if this works like I think it works, but if it just did, the "autoplay" box should maybe not be an option within the video embedding options... -J

Thank jesus it didn't, but that makes me wonder, what DOES the autoplay box do? Start the video after, like it were a playlist?
