[no country for old wainds]

ya, big server upgrade earlier this week.

Forum updated to a 7 years newer version of XenForo or some such like.

this shit looks weird on my phone but whatever. Site just got a facelift I guess

Weird for sure, but damn if it isn't kinda snappy.

I dont think im a fan of this new forum's layout. Seems pretty glaring to me. I liked the previous one better. Anyone?

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'm not that big on the look either, but i'm just so used to forums changing over the years and i always get used to it eventually. this isn't the first makeover UM's had.

To me this layout (dark style) seems more roomy. The info under the avatar is more spaced out I think. It makes most posts bigger but I think it's easier for old man eyes to read.
I think there is still a few options that could be done with some of the colour selections but that could also be old man eyes so I'll just change them locally on my screen and be done with it.
I also had to force Firefox back into using the proper English instead of telling me words like colour were always spelt wrong, but that's a minor issue that no doubt changed with a cache flush of the old site.

That probably means you have multiple dictionaries installed in Firefox. I only have the one proper one here, so no such issue.

I've gotten used to the update and it is snappy indeed. I think the text is actually smaller on my screen, which is fine for my eyes. At the next zoom level up the font gets kinda ugly somehow, but old fuckers get what they're given.

@EspaDa You can change themes near the bottom left corner if you haven't found it yet.

It's identical to another forum I use so it wasn't as shocking for me. It's way better for attaching gifs or images. Way better search function too.

 

[Slammed]

Way better search function too.

If only it could search other forums!

Joking or you didn't know advanced option exists?

I only got the casual (l)user subscription this year, it lack features but it comes at a budget price!

World's slowest head bang?

 

[no country for old wainds]

the one annoying thing about the search function is it should default to sorting by date without you having to go into advanced and change it imo

 

[CiG]

Did the old version do that?

 

[Slammed]

Google site search does a better job and I'm sure does it in date order.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Did the old version do that?

i think so ‘cause i’ve only noticed it since the change

 

[Bloopy]

Starting my internet band's next song by recording some dorky vocals. Dunno if this one will take 6 years like the last one, but it'll be a hell of a wonky patchwork if we ever do see it to completion.

Realizing how silly it is that so many Christian denominations exist. Still have pretty hard aesthetics tho, especially the Eastern Orthodoxy stuff.

On a related note to that: picked up a book by "heretic" and mystic Marguerite Porete - The Mirror of Simple Souls. Excited to read it asap.
