You know when I was pouring away thousands of dollars, laboring over literal pixel level adjustments to get you as close to a similar experience as possible, and then took the time to give a preemptive post on why this had to be done: Migration Phase 2 I was surely "mucking it up for no reason" :rolleyes:


EDIT FRAT:

Guys here's the "no reason" I'll add to the migration thread since referencing outdated core software wasn't enough:

  • Previous forum software end of life over a year ago. NO UPDATES. Increased compatibility failure with new browsers that will never get fixed.

  • PHP compatibility end of life December 2019. Inability to upgrade server. Security risk. Hacks and fight night errors galore on the horizon. Sound familiar?

  • Server RAM maxing out due to increased traffic and inability to upgrade efficiently due to no competition for old software on new hardware. Cost is high to maintain old platforms.

  • Increased server loads patched worked together. All the above and a HUGE time sink (my time sink! sorry guys, its the reality) just to maintain without failure.


You've seen the results of this in your typing in a mobile browser for instance where your text gets wonky and overwrites.

The last 5 years of site? I just put it all back together inside of my days off over a couple months from scratch. Let me repeat that. Half a decade of investment redone on my time off. Design, custom add-on development for features that don't exist anymore (hey IMGUR upload), and new server hardware and software for security. And the only part of all of that is for the admin team is to make it easier to maintain going forward. There are, as stated, things like the Dark theme that are coming. But the timing and move needed to happen so this was is. Just like when we started the site and tweaked it based on user input afterwards for the final touches.

Be unhappy all you want about the change. But I'll personally say it's ignorance at minimum, and a personally rude and offensive characterization, to define the response to these problems as "mucking it up for no reason" while simultaneously bemoaning hacks, admins that don't care about a site, security failures, slow service, stagnant broken layouts.
You don't owe me a love of myself or the site, but at least respect the work output on your behalf with some sort of politeness in your candor.

Dear, @Splinty

I have a lot of feelings about this post. Mostly because you're mischaracterizing both my post and opinion. Firstly, I know nothing about programming, so when there's a technical explanation of why something needs to be updated it will be guaranteed to fly completely over my head or be subconciously ignored. The old forum was the most intuitive experience I've ever had on a forum, full stop. So, no I'm not going to be thrilled about the change to the current setup where the ratings are tucked away under an icon rather than conveniently laid out. That being said, if you took offense to my post I'd like to apologize as I was ignorant as to the why or how these changes were made.

That being said, this "while simultaneously bemoaning hacks, admins that don't care about a site, security failures, slow service, stagnant broken layouts." does not apply to me. So framing me as someone that nothing's ever good enough for is more than a little inaccurate. One could go so far as to say its: "ignorance at minimum, and a personally rude and offensive characterization" but personally I wouldn't, seems a bit melodramatic.

In conclusion I'd like to say that the work you do for everyone here is massively appreciated by me, whether my posts show it or not and I'd like to apologize if you viewed my post as ungrateful. I have a very dry sense of humor that doesn't always come across. Also, the dark theme and the God damn communists that use it can eat a bag of dicks.

Love,
El Beardo

Got it. So it is the Forums jump.
Logo at the top is your new way to the forums overview. It will float with you so instant back to the forums without having to scroll back to the top.
I've got to do some redirects to put the front page back to front, but the logo will continue to jump to the forum overview. Try it out and see if that works for you

It's very, very nice. Looks really sharp, with all the same great features. I mean, what's not to like. Me personally, if I were ever to put up a forum for my online buddies to talk about sports on I'd just throw it up there as is, not moderate it or anything and never touch it again. If it dies, it dies.

FYI anyone missing the "Forums" tab that takes you back to the main forums page, click the TMMAC icon next to the menu bar at the top left of yours screen (on mobile)

I was too dumb to figure this out but HEATH VON DOOM @HEATH VON DOOM told me about it

outside of missing dark mode I have two other things

one, how do I get to my watched threads?
two, prior when I hovered over the bell icon for alerts the list would automatically appears. now I have to click on that icon for that. I liked the old way if we have a choice
