How do you like the new forum look?

[LarryFisherman]

How so?

the people make all the difference.

 

[LarryFisherman]

They don't even have avatars on r/hockey. How could it possibly be better?

why do you need avatars?

are you that simple?

I liked the old layout because it reminded me of the internet in 2005 AND IT DIDN'T BLIND MY EYES.

I like the new layout too, it's definitely more modern and adds a bunch of much needed basic features. However, it's sorely lacking a dark/night mode. This site is painful to look at, especially late at night. They could also improve the amount of wasted space.

I also like the mobile layout more than the old one.

What people don't understand is that HFBoards desperately needed an upgrade to the 21st century. The old forum was very outdated. How many other message boards do you go to? Have you actually seen what you can do on them, that you were not able to do on HFBoards until recently?

This is the best hockey message board in the world, better than /r/hockey. It's time we modernize our servers and allow embedding of tweets, videos, and pictures without antiquated [yt] tags.

This upgrade took away the biggest 2 key features I used and make this site near unbearable. "Hide Boards" and "Ignore Threads". I don't want to have to scroll through all 100 boards (it sure seems like 100) on the main page just to view the 3 or 4 I visit.

Add to that, why do we have to have a fluid theme? Why can't we have a fixed width theme? I don't like the content being spread 100% across my wide screen monitors.

I like the look.

I think HFboards made the smart move switching over to Xenforo. It's way cheaper to run than it is on vbulletin.

That's what happened with the old setup too. I just bookmarked other sports and Non Sports. They took away Page 2 so it's all on one page now.

If we're gonna have deadspace, at least even it out on each side. I agree this looks better than filling widescreens fully, especially for those using ultrawides.

I guess I should have edited out the thread titles there, lol. Oh well.

edit:done for self preservation

Are the polls working? (including the one for this thread) I can't seem to vote and it says no one else can either.

View attachment 77855

So has anyone had trouble with polls or is it just me?

EDIT: Polls from other threads seems ok now just can't vote for the poll attached to this thread.

Hiding subforums doesn't work.

If you click the "^" button in the top right corner, it will minimize the drop down list of forums. But when you refresh the page it doesn't save your preference and all the subforums are visible again.

Bumping this in hopes an admin sees it. There's two or three categories of subforums I want to make invisible but can't right now.

Just realized they have removed the 4 character limit

Nice

They added some gray to the post backgrounds which helps a bit, but the regular forum pages are still pure white.

GIVE US DARK/NIGHT MODE


Edit: I also noticed the thicker red line between posts today. I have no clue when they were added, but they're way better than what was originally in place.

 

[LarryFisherman]

with the removal of the char_limit ixxy's workload was just lightened by 75%.

 

[LarryFisherman]

function checkLength(){
    var textbox = document.getElementById("textbox");
    if(textbox.value.length <= () && textbox.value.length >= 4){
        alert("success");
    }
    else{
        alert("make sure the input is more than four characters long")
    }
}
</script>
<input type="text" id="textbox"></input>
<input type="submit" name="textboxSubmit" onclick="checkLength()" />

What the hell just happened? I disappear for almost a year and this happened?

On the bright side, this is much cleaner.

 

[Jetsfan79]

I like the light grey although I wouldn't mind making the grey just a tad darker.

 

[John Price]

function checkLength(){
    var textbox = document.getElementById("textbox");
    if(textbox.value.length <= () && textbox.value.length >= 4){
        alert("success");
    }
    else{
        alert("make sure the input is more than four characters long")
    }
}
</script>
<input type="text" id="textbox"></input>
<input type="submit" name="textboxSubmit" onclick="checkLength()" />

Take your scripts somewhere else nerd
