Dark Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yeah, so we had a forum update. And after all the whining and complaining after we ditched MyBB, everyone started to settle down. We got some old features back, it felt like the old YCM, and we were happy campers. Now we just had another update. Everyone's riled up. Things don't work. I'm sure YCMaker realizes that things don't work. He'll fix them. So instead of complaining about how you're going to "suddenly" quit the forum, why don't you ask for things that'll make the switch from old to new a bit easier? If someone wants to lock this, go ahead. But there are a few things that are tough to live without, and if they can be changed I would like to see them changed. [s]1.) Not sure if this option exists or not, but I'd prefer using my old tags rather than using Ctrl+B. It makes thread formatting a lot easier for me despite the fact that it takes longer to use. If an option does exist, point me to it.[/s] [b]FIXED: When you're posting, look at the top-left of your post box and you'll see something resembling a light switch. You can toggle that on and off. One option allows you to use Ctrl+B while the other lets you use old tags [i]exclusively[/i]. The only problem is that sometimes words at the end of a line get cut in half if you're using the "low-tech" version, but it all is fixed when you post.[/b] [s]2.) Profile pictures are broken. Just throwing that out there. Profile pictures [i]cannot[/i] change. I would know because I've tried at least seven or eight times now to switch my picture from the black man to the atheist atom, and it does not work.[/s] [b]FIXED:[/b] [b]Patience is a virtue, my friends. Before, I was seeing my old avatar but others were seeing my correct avatar. I waited overnight, and viola (spelled incorrectly on purpose)! Now I can see my atheist atom avatar, too. It sucks that we lost profile pictures (or that avatars and profile pictures are now just one picture), but at least we can all see the [i]correct[/i] picture, now.[/b] 3.) I liked how the old profile content was separated. On the top you had status updates that you yourself posted, and on the bottom you had profile comments. Now they are all jumbled together and it's annoying if you want to find a status that you posted really quickly. 4,) Add dislikes, go back to the old MyBB rep system, or get rid of the rep system entirely. It's honestly stupid to have a positive way to comment on a post but not a negative. [s]5.) Please, [i]please[/i] add the drop-down box at the bottom of the page that allows you to quickly change forums. [b][i]Please[/i].[/b][/s] [b]FIXED: At the top-right of your YCM screen, you'll see an icon with two dots and four lines. You can click on that to switch between forums. It [i]is [/i]faster than going to the main screen and selecting a forum, but it doesn't have the same functionality as the old drop-down box. But remember: [i]beggars can't be choosers.[/i][/b] Yeah, you guys can add your own suggestions for as long as this doesn't get locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesirson Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 1.) You can still use tags :3 2.) I've changed my picture since the update. Seems to only apply to some people 3.) Agreed. 4.) Agreed. 5.) I never used it, but there is a similar one at the top right corner of the screen (although it's not a drop-down menu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 1.) [i]Really?[/i] And will the tags still show up when I go to edit a post, or will they disappear and convert to whatever the hell Ctrl+I is called? EDIT: Nope, tags don't stay. Which, again, makes it really annoying for thread formatting. :/ 2.) What browser are you on? I'm going to try going back on Internet Explorer and changing it from there, but I'm not sure. EDIT: Nope, IE didn't work for me, and obviously Chrome isn't working. It may just be for some people, but that leads to the question of what you're doing differently such that you can change your image but I can't. <___< 3.) Love you. 4.) Love you. 5.) I actually didn't notice that. It's better than nothing, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesirson Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'm on Chrome, and I couldn't change at first either. I did, however, remove my photo first and accepted the change, then I changed to this new picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well that solved my issue, something obvious, why didn't I think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yeah, I did remove my old picture and then I tried uploading my atheist atom again, and the damn thing put my old black man avatar back in. So I have no idea what to do now. >___< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 1.) Thank you so much. [b]This is so awesome. :[i][/i]D[/b] 2.) ...it does? To me it keeps showing my old profile picture, and I've cleared my cache twice. I've even cleared it and tried re-uploading it and nothing seems to work. It's kind of annoying because I can't tell if [i]other[/i] people can see the correct avatar, too. 3.) Love you. 4.) Maybe he should, then. :[b][/b]O 5.) wut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloister Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Repped you for this. Ironical, since I totally agree on the 4th point. Did the entire atom appear before Dark? The bottom is chopped off now. Also, a suggestion, I hate that the text is in grey, change it to black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 No, the bottom [i]should[/i] be chopped off. So it's really stupid that literally all of you can see the correct avatar and yet when I post threads I see my old one. And on my profile I see my old one. Can someone screenshot one of my posts just so I can see what it looks like? >___< And yeah, gray on white for the default is really bad. I'd prefer it be black, as well.

Lonk Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Why did YCMaker even perform the upgrade in the first place? What was the point? Everything just looks like a real mess now. I support all of your ideas Dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Old avi meaning the atheist atom or the black man? Because before, my avatar was the atheist atom and my profile picture was the black man, but now they've both been combined into one picture and I don't know who is seeing what. Try to specify since I'm more confused than the lot of you right now. And nope, I don't see stars. I see black dots. Maybe this might help: [IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/audv5y.png[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 It's according to what theme people are using. At least that's what I've gathered. You can change themes at the bottom of every page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yeah, I don't really care about the stars over the dots. But even switching themes didn't fix the avatar problem, so... o___O Legend, are you seeing exactly what I posted in my last post? The same avatar?

Dark Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 ...well, this is a goddamn conundrum. Okay, what the hell are Striker and Yasu doing differently from me and Legend such that they can see someone's correct avatar? <___< By the way, all of the named spoilers in the signatures stayed the same, and they all work for me. So if they all didn't downgrade to saying "SPOILER", there [i]has[/i] to be some way to make named spoilers. [spoiler=Did it work?]If you saw this without clicking a button, it did not.[/spoiler] Wow, people are bitching for no reason, I think. Named spoilers work as they always did.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Well I'm finding this real awkward. 1 - Photo and avatar seem to have swapped, meaning my highly blurred mug is next to all my posts. Dunno if you guys are seeing that or my dragon, but that's what I've got. Does not seem to be an option to change avatar... anywhere. 2 - Text alignment is so freaking awful to use. 3 - Sub-titles. I want these back. Useful for putting extra, seconday information in seperate from the title, especially for fanfics. 4 - As Dark said, seperate status, PM and wall comments please. 5 - Again like Dark said, I can 'like' but not 'dislike'. I'm sorry... no actually I'm not, that's just screwed up. 6 - Why can't I just copy and paste into a post? I've worked out I can go via Word... but what if, like this one, the computer I'm using doesn't have Word? (A: Drag and drop, but come on. C&P [u]was[/u] so easy). Oh, and still no xyz's. Just thought I'd throw that out again. I'm sure these can all be rectified quite simply, but until then this site has taken quite a few backward strides in usability. To be honest, I don't even think it looks that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, there's the toggle editing mode or just click the center button. 3. Haven't tried that out yet. 4. agreed 5. I never cared in the first place so no comment 6.
