Incomplete list of things not to panic about.

@Lurker I try to keep that off because people keep replying to them. I'm going to leave it off for conversations this time at least. >_>



I'll talk to staff about relaxing this in the mean time. There is also Discord/IM



Hmm. In my simulator it's hard to pick out the issue

- Is it people using colored text in threads?

- Can you see the links okay?

There are a handful of things that are hard to see because they don't matter and any changes are going away in a week.

For me it's just in the old system I had the ability to choose the color of my background. My eyes see white background, black text bethere be cause if you change the text color to say blue on a black background, I have to highlight it to read the text. I couldn't find it but someone's post heading was in purple and I couldn't see it at all against the black background. I would like the ability to choose or turnoff the background colour, and change text color to black is all

I was under the impression that the FROM header is customizable in Xenforo, so setting it to something that would generate and autoreply should help with this problem (it would be even better to use REPLY TO).

Oh, and thank you!

Logs me off very quickly. In like 10-15 minutes. I don't know if this a mobile thing, or a site setting thing, and can it be set somewhere a little higher? Or do we want it logging us off that quickly?

When logging in, there’s a little checkbox you can click for ‘stay logged in’ that should prevent that. It’s at the very bottom of the login window space.

The session length without checking that is an hour. Something else is probably logging them out somehow.

I like the new look and features! Thanks for all the hard work!

Will the posts we did on other threads before the conversion show up on our profiles again or is that feature gone?

 

[ImaginationGoneWild]

Click the button at the top of the page somewhere that says "watched Threads" depending on your profile settings, all replies you make a to a thread get subscribed.
There's a similar button near the top of a thread that says "watch thread", it'll get added to that list.

Yes, I've seen that but posts done before the conversion don't show up on my public profile unless I'm the one who created the thread.

Thank you. Want to like your post but can't find the button.

@Bethany Farrell I've added the ability for members to switch back to the default template - widget on the bottom left of the site. 2.0 may work a bit differently, but still.

@Lurker I'm not sure what you're trying to suggest by that. I hope you're not suggesting I expose people's e-mails. If you are, that isn't even what that feature is referring to.

@Gypsy Rebuilding the post index will need to wait until after private conversations are done. Your posts will show up in your profile after that.

I don't think they've implemented XF's post-liking yet. Should be brought in once they finish upgrading to XF2, or when they finish bringing the PMs over. One of the two.

Knowing that you appreciate it is enough for me though! Happy to help!

Heya Bethany!

If you use chrome (it might work in others, but I use chrome so I can confirm it works) I would like to suggest this lovely little eye-relieving trick that I use for pages where I have issues seeing colors.

javascript:(function(){var newSS, styles='* { background: Black ! important; color: White !important } :link, :link * { color: #919356 !important } :visited, :visited * { color: #919356 !important }'; if(document.createStyleSheet) { document.createStyleSheet("javascript:'"+styles+"'"); } else { newSS=document.createElement('link'); newSS.rel='stylesheet'; newSS.href='data:text/css,'+escape(styles); document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(newSS); } })();

I used it for a text MMORPG where people were allowed to make their own profile and use colors. The amount of times someone had purple text (or neon green! Yikes!) on a black background would've killed my eyes if not for this thing.

How to use: Make a bookmark and just paste the code where the "URL" goes. If you go to a page that you want to change the text on, just click the bookmark and it changes it all without reloading the page. It's fully editable for the colors if you want to change the background and color from black / white to vice versa. I read a lot at night when my husband is asleep, so that's why it's a black background It removes a few things like smilies and editor buttons, but that's never bothered me enough to fix.

Allow me to try again.

A notification is sent with the FROM (or REPLY TO) SMTP header set tosomething like "[email]noreply@bluemoonroleplaying.com[/email]".
If the user replies to that email, they will either get a bounce or, preferably, an autoreply with a clue.

 

[Vekseid]

The issue is there is only one from setting. It's not setup to discriminate between sending notices or announcements we may want to let people respond to.

2.0 is supposedly better, or I may be able to add it on.

 

[guitarfan28]

Are the conversations going to be private? Or is that like the wall you were talking about? I'm just curious cause I know some people use it as a way to role play cause they don't want their stories for everyone to see.

 

[Sigr]

The conversations are going to be like the Personal Messages, but shaped like a thread instead. So yeah, private.

 

[Alan23]

OK, don't wanna be too Pollyanna here, but I have to say thanks for putting so much work into this... like, this is a totally free site unless individual members choose otherwise, yet the mods are working like crazy to get this new set up going and I for one want to say thanks! I admit I don't like it as much as the old one - yet - but most of that's the normal unfamiliarity and I'm pretty sure once we get used to it and everything's working we'll love it.

Thanks. That's what I thought but just misunderstood something that was said before about it being a wall.

 

[pods6827]

Basically this

My kingdom for the ability to like posts

On topic, I like that I won't have to scroll down to get past a dozen quote boxes every time a PM conversation goes on for a bit.

 

[Sigr]

That was about the profile updates which can be see in both said profiles and in the right of the homepage.

So, with this new thread-style PM system - does that mean users can only have 1 thread conversation going per user?

Because I have multiple RPs with single users, and I also use seperate PMs for OOC. So if the conversion consolidates all these seperate PM convos into one big thread because they are with the same person, that will be a huge mess. LOL *nervous sweats*

The conversion should keep them separate as long as they had separate titles, so no, we are not limited to a single conversation per user.

 

[Dirty Reflection]

I'm kind of late to the party, but this is a nice makeover for BMR. Absolutely adore the new look. <3

Ohhhhh shit. Not all of them did. That’s going to be FUN.
