New forums. Comments? Questions? Concerns?

Postby DeathMasta » Sat Jul 04, 2009 9:40 pm

Gotta be honest, I'm pretty happy so far with the new forums. I do miss the ability to upload files though, I suppose Photobucket will be just fine for pics but what about replays and things of the like?

I've also experienced a glitch here and there with the forums but nothing major. Sometimes when I click a link like the Clan RooF Message Board I get a popup from Firefox asking what program I should open the file with. Click it again and it takes me to the correct page.

All in all though really happy. Siggies work np unlike the old forums, also YouTube embedding is ballin'.

Edit - Also, anyway to make a big announcement on the old forums and lock all of them? I can easily see people still posting on the old forums, just want to make this a quick and easy transition if at all possible.

Edit 2 - ISO spambox OMFG.

Edit 3 - Give the big Clan RooF banner a link to redirect to the homepage plox. MASDA <3

I have taken the old site offline to prevent posts from landing there and i updated the domain to point here, may take up to 24 hours for the change to go global.

Also there might be currently problems with the board as of now due to some wrong adjustments, so don't forget to tell me if you find something that's not working.

thoughts and such:

i like the template but it'll take a little bit to get used to.

most/all of the old images posted are no longer appearing as images, it just says "image"

some of the extra stuff that the other site is pretty nifty

for replays, you can use dotaallstars.com/replays (although that has been down lately) or dotaparser.com

i dont think either supports non-dota replays but we rarely have those so it shouldnt be a problem

@goron: You should just upload replays as attachments. Also I know about the image issue, what you're seeing is the default behaviour for when the link to the image is broken. It's basically happening because I haven't asked zylo to send me people's user folders yet.

@death: I looked into the display download issue and it seems to happen randomly, I've done a few changes that might have fixed it, but I can't be sure yet. Please notify me if you encounter this error again.
Also about the banner, I did as you suggested.

Ok I'll let you know if it happens again.

What is with the the green stuff at the top? I put a red box around it all in the pic. Also should center the Clan RooF banner. Imo change "Clan Roof Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo" at the top left. Dunno what to change it to though LEWL.

Edit - Oh, you don't have to use [img] tags after you upload your pic apparently. Not sure if I like that or not.

Edit 2 - An explanation as to what the icons to the left of the forums are would be handy. The "no new posts" or "new unread posts" stuff. Should probably just be near the bottom of each forum page.

Ok since the old boards didn't keep record of registration dates, I took the date from the first post each one of us has made and used that as reg date. Obviously people who have never posted on the forums have their reg dates set to 1970 LEWL.
