General You like the upgrade?

I believe he's asking for breadcrumbs how SharePoint uses them. I could be wrong. I can get you a screenshot and stuff after I drop mini me off at daycare.

Create a modern breadcrumb navigation on SharePoint - HANDS ON SharePoint

Breadcrumb navigation was available by default on SharePoint 2007 and 2010 but with the introduction of SharePoint 2013 it was removed and until today it wasn’t reintroduced. Today I’m revisiting one my most read articles, back in 2013 I wrote an article to explain how this functionality can be...

sharepoint.handsontek.net

Oooooo, I like how the new software handles URL's. Fancy Smancy.

So an expanded breadcrumb?
What's the desired behavior? The breadcrumb contracts now due to modern mobile formatting for more consistent behavior between devices.

If you are in a thread the breadcrumb will jump you back to that subforum.

What's the goal?
To jump back to the forum overview from the thread?

That's what I mean by desired workflow. Not desired layout but let's talk about the workflow that you're trying to do and find the best layout that's consistent with modern web design.

I will be making the top logo go to the forum overview instead of the main page. That solves the rapid single click move around the forums.

If there is some other desired workflow needed let me know.

Extremely minor preference/suggestion...

Put the ratings back behind a pop up menu.
It would look much cleaner.

When scrolling it looks cluttered especially with posts that already have multiple types of ratings. It should also decrease accidental rating clicks for the blind Luddite demographic.

Not a big deal though. You just considerably improved upon a site that was already better than most before the upgrade.
Speed stability and usability were already good but now...great job and thanks.

For me I prefer the condensed breadcrumb that currently shows. I can only make an assumption as to why @Leigh would like the expanded breadcrumbs, but my assumption is it would make moving around the forum quicker and easier for modding. I could also be way off because I'm not @Leigh .

I've got to finish styling the layout of the old way to rate and then I'll offer each. This is the largest change and I too prefer the Facebook style popup.
It allows cleaner/faster loading and consistent appearance on all devices.

This font is atrocious. I survived the Rona to come back to this?

Bring back framed forums.

Lol!

How does this make you feel?

how do I turn dark mode back on?

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"


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

how do I turn dark mode back on?

You douse your device in gasoline and light it on fire.

 

[Suicidalforlife]

He got you then

U will never log out again my friend

Ur stuck in the matrix chasing the white rabbit

I am on my phone at the moment might be the issue, clicking my avatar just brings me to the profile page, no option to log out.

Oh well,

I'll update the mobile nav menu to be cleaner soon including that standard

Its all good, I just wasn't sure where the option was, still can't find it.

Thanks for your work on the site man

The upgrades are fantastic.

One request for the next time around. Within my trophy room, the title of trophies are listed but not the graphic of the actual trophy.
It would be nice to have the trophies displayed, especially for a franchise player like myself.

for those that use it regularly, having it as one click is key

 

[Miesha's Taint]

Breadcrumbs what?

Get a grip fuckers.

Seeya tomorrow

I've noticed that people from New Jersey are still able to access the site.

I was really hoping that the entire state would be blocked in the update ?

I too won yet another trophy this weekend. Big things are happening here.

Expand this... What's the desired behavior your trying to do that you can't. So I know what you're asking for.

I made that comment on mobile. On my laptop it's fine. On mobile, I can't even jump pages in a thread without scrolling to the bottom.

 

[Deleted member 1]

I've already brought that back.
It's the page numbers you wanted at top or forum breadcrumb issue?

 

[member 1013]

Is anyone actually not liking this?

It’s very intuitive and easy to use, if you can’t figure it out I feel bad for ya son, I got 99 problems but this site ain’t one

It's fine for now, if you can add breadcrumb, great. If not, I can get by.

I'm trying to understand what you're trying to do. There's a bread crumbs. What are you hoping to click so I understand the workflow you're doing..

Seriously, do you see the great dynasties not being recognized with awesome trophies to display for all their fans?

When our fans pour onto the site they expect to see the trophies, the banners, the jerseys!

Get on it, fellas!
