will the retro theme come with the occasional wizard?

So how do I find out how many unread posts there are without clicking the thread. I watch way too many threads to go through all of them since I prefer to check them once they hit a certain number.

Methodical Management the tagging feature doesn't work in that I have to know a persons exact username and fully spell it out for it to work. It doesn't bring up a list when I simply type the @ symbol.

Also, I can't find that rich text editor you were talking about. This is all I have

Oh ummmm it's all the sudden back. I didn't change anything.....

 

[beh235]

This is an awkward adjustment period

I reactivated it for you on my side.

I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the link, but another way to reactivate the rich text editor is to go into preferences:

"Retro theme"

Interesting

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. I can't spend a ton of money that could otherwise go to an important cause to recreate a 5 year old forum design on a modern platform. What we can do is have a designer attempt to quickly put something together that will have a similar look. I'd spring for an hour or two of designer time for it, but nothing more.

I'd file it in the "be careful what you wish for" category.

No, it would only be for the previous platform. We're never going back to the platform that shall not be named.

But here's a photo of occasional Wizard Chris Whitney, if that makes you happy:

Unfortunately, that feature is not yet part of the current platform. It's something we'd like to add in the future, though.

I'm getting there lol

So damn we really only get one name change opportunity even if it was just to fix the capitalization?

Yes

 

[shogun]

Do I have to uncheck every single alert to stop getting emails when people post in threads?

 

[Bad Religion]

Are our badges a thing of the past?

 

[HNL HI]

Go to all watched threads and hit the mange watched threads tab towards the upper right and disable email.

Not feeling this new GUI as much at all, on mobile or desktop. Hoping it just takes more time.

 

[sb]

can someone show me how to multiquote on mobile. when i select multiple quotes and scroll to the bottom, the 'insert quotes button does not appear'. halp please.

 

[Mark Antony]

Click one of those reply options right next to it?

 

[sb]

Click one of those reply options right next to it?

that only replies to that specific post. when multiquoting, a buttom near the reply box appears that reads 'insert quotes'.

 

[HNL HI]

sb try and hit quote for every post you want to reply to, you only have one selected in that screenshot

NVM, meth may have banned you from multiquoting lol

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

You're finished here sb

 

[Olympus]

What's really bothering me is the red divider between each post. It's way too bright and with multiple posts on my screen at the same time, it really gets in the way and distracts me.

I do like the twitter/IG embed and the speed/flow of the site. The notification drop down and three dot settings drop down are not only useful, but necessary.

 

[HNL HI]

red divider? only redline I see is at the bottom of the header on top of the screen

On desktop I meant.

the truth is far more sinister

On desktop I meant.

phone mode takes away the red lines and the post text area becomes full width.

on bigger phones/tablets it still shows the red lines and avys on the side like in desktop.

I totally understand everything said, been following this thread from the start and appreciate both Meth and all of our staff that have been hard at work. I know theres a LOT left to do, both for cyber security purposes and functionality, so I understand the priority and am in no rush when I mention this at all.

But it is imperative that I mention how distracting and hurtful it is to the eye to see SO MANY BRIGHT RED LINES when scrolling down any page. In fact, it makes me NOT want to come to NT and that is extremely sad for me to say because its been like an online home to me throughout everyday for the past 10 years.

Again, I understand priorities and I do not mean to sound like an unreasonable complainer. I just feel this feedback is more important than anything else I think can be improved, because all this bright red jumping at you when scrolling or browsing NT is just so aggravating to the eye it doesn't even allow me to focus in on whats being posted or written.

I know im sounding very dramatic, but i wouldn't be giving feedback in this thread if i didn't think it was that awful.
Again, i understand you mentioned tweaks will be made and im sure you've seen 20 people already mention it so im sure its on your radar, but as a 12 year user i just thought I should give my 2 cents and kindly request that all those bright red lines in between each post either are removed or changed to grey/black/white or something much easier on the eyes.

Thank you Meth and the team, overall as awkward as this transition might be i am confident this modern platform will serve us well moving into the future.
