SRL Archive - NOTA

Looks awesome :)

I personally don't like it.
Not trying to be rude or nothing, just IMO.

But ill get used to it….

This new change reminds me of EOC. But again, we will all get used to it.

like the old 1 better easier to nav but hay.. eoc.

I liked the old one better. I will get used to this one soon.

What happened to the activity indicator? It was nice.

Personally I really like it. Easyier to navigate and read from my phone. Also reminds me of rsbot a little.

I don't like it at first, looks way to confusing, like with the old layout when I signed up I knew exactly where everything was in the first day…atm I am well confused :( but like Silentcore said exactly like EoC we will get used to it in a few days will be like it never changed

Much nicer imo, although I'm familiar with like 50 different forum softwares so maybe not as confusing for me as it is for others…

I hate vB though, so I'd say anything looks nicer.


It's also noticeably faster.

Loving the new layout, mainly due to the significant performance improvements on a mobile device! :D
So much easier to browse on my nexus now. Besides, the forum look needed… Something new after all these years.

I preferred the old style :P

But this is nice too :)

I've noticed a few bugs…


Also, when going to the next page in a search, it's opening it in a new window…

Other than that, I like!

@Hobbit

Why isn't Hobbit showing up? Nevermind, find out why. Have to use the ID of the person…why is that? Why can't I just do @Hobbit and it mention them? Stupid mention tags.

Yeah I like it, It's a bit more modern (which I sort of like) I like the go advanced having subscript etc plus the tagging system is in place?
However still think simba tag button should be on quick reply (who's going to ever use email? :P)
edit: Wait… no activity and longetivity bar :'(
edit2: maybe we should change the avatar limit so you can't take up a huge space because it doesn't fit on one line (kyle :P)

also another little bug:
http://villavu.com/forum/member.php?u=1904

your name cutoff on friends because two lines

I have to go to advanced to post via my iPhone ?

Weird.

Woohoo. this looks good! I can't access on computer atm, so am on phone.

@Activity bars
It is not compatible with vb4, if it is every ported or updated we'll add it back in.

Slightly due to vB4, mostly due to us finally being on Nala.

Syntax is @<username>; and when it parses it changes to user id. Also it only actually works on srl member+ boards.

Weird.

I'm on my iPhone right now without having to do that.

I preferred the old layout but like anything you will get use to the new look soon enough.

going to have to look instead of going to where buttons would normally be from now on

One thing I like is that I can now rep from my phone without having to open in a new tab

Although people with piles of cups have multiple rows now and it takes up too much space.

Yeah YoHoJo seems to take up a quarter of the page.. :P Also tagging should notify you without tagging. Test.

I see while typing this it also got auto-saved which is nice.
I miss the activity and longetivy bar, hope they get re-implemented! There is some space under join data/location/posts/mentioned for two bars.

Some cups are resized pretty badly so I hope they get resized properly or that they are re-styled? For example, random dev/competition winner are now larger so they lost quality and got pixelated slightly. Some others got smaller which is even worse :P

Also on my phone the homepage doesn't get loaded properly.


Other than that, I enjoy the Metro-Fixed style and everything is slightly faster.
The new rep button is a bit weird and might not get noticed by newer users at first.

Yes I got my notification. And about the rep button, it was a bit hard to find at first, maybe if it gets colored dark green?

Is there anyway to port the activity bar through and the other stuff onto the mobile theme?

Damn I said "Also tagging should notify you without tagging" meant quoting for the first tagging.. hehe. I'd like to see the old rep location. But atleast it works so I guess that is nice already ;) Just like the graphically updated rep boxes.

Would first need to be there on the normal themes hehe.

From: Kyle Undefined

Besides that bug.. I also do not like being notified of every quote of my posts - can that be disabled in our profile settings?

The rest I can get used to it

Oh yeah! I get notified if someone quotes me! Weird!!

At first I was like "What have you done?" but im starting to see the upsides with this, I think I like it actually! Keep it up SRLians :D

Have you tried out the metro theme yet?

I've tried all the themes, the default style seems the easiest to nav through.

Mentioning @Sin cause he's gay :)

Metro - Fluid reminds me of Windows 8. ;_;

As with all new forums, it will take some time to get used to its new features, layouts and options.

Good work, though. :)

It will take some getting used to thats for sure. It's quite nice though, so good job :)

More theme options will be coming soon :)

@Hobbit

You da man ;)

Sites slowly growing on me, alot quicker etc. Glad to see it's finally getting a reboot!

Also I used my phone and the homepage was fine, Maybe it's just different screen resolutions.

I believe a few CSS changes will fix it ^^

edit: Can't seem to tag Hobbit? :P

Already fixed it. @masterBB <- that is how you tag someone

Automatic tagging i.e: @<username>; (The semi-color is required) is only enabled for SRL Member+ Boards.

However, manual input on the username & userid in the MENTION tags still works on lower boards.
Automatic is disabled on lower boards to prevent new users from spam tagging for help.

@masterBB;

test? Am I not applicable to do it then ;.;

didn't know Sjoekeloe was a srl+ XD

@ MasterBB

Nota is public. use @name in the member boards. Like the market or the members script section.

That would be because the design language of the modern Windows interface used to be called "Metro". The theme is named "Metro" because the theme is emulating the look of Windows 8.

The more you know.

Yea you can turn off, if you want.. or keep it ( I like it :P )

Well you learn something new everyday, thank you!

vB4 is certainly a much-appreciated improvement. Just ask @Daniel

hmm I don't see it either, I know I've turned it off on vb4 before.. maybe I'm blind too or it just isn't there

I want mark forums read back on quick links again :(

No, Windows 8 isn't Metro at all. Microsoft has completely ruined the usage of the word "Metro" for design.

Wonder how you turn it off then hmm

Is there still any form of the "activity bar" that we use to have?

From: chongc

No, the plugin is outdated. If it gets updated it will be reimplemented hopefully.

From: -Benny

Maybe something to do with the theme, or maybe an addon.

Just double click the icons to mark them read

also I'm so glad this forum finally has the "click here to read the new posts you haven't seen yet" button for threads, so I don't have to go through and find the crap I haven't read yet :P

I just want mark forums are read back on quick links would make life so much easier

Disregarding whatever "Metro" means for design, in the context of what we are discussing, "Metro" is what Microsoft used to call the design language of the modern Windows UI, and so, Windows 8 = Metro.

No, Windows 8 != Metro. Windows 8 = Microsofts messed up marketing, design, and implementation of "Metro". True Metro looks nothing like Windows 8, or anything that Microsoft calls Metro.

Windows 8 = F'd up BS from Microsoft.
