IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT HFBOARDS - Please read!

We can't even go to the first unread post of a thread without opening the thread first?

Site looks good, but I'll miss my old user name. "-" aren't supported here. I tried a few variations on All-Star, but they were taken, and I got tired of having to complete most of the form everytime.

 

[NameInUse]

Looks like my access is limited because the site sees me as a new member due to the user name limitations preventing me from accessing my old account, so I can't really ask in the Lounge... Anyone know if the Politics board is still around and how to get to it? Thanks!

I'm hoping we can get the old quote - multi-quote system back.

I hate how if I quote someone now, it makes me have to click an additional box and pop-up screen.

Not user friendly at the moment.,

Indeed. The current quote system sucks.

I'd like a "night mode" or option for some other background colour, all white hurts the eyes after a little bit. I also couldn't figure out how to ignore a thread when looking through the main boards.

Am I assuming correctly that the archive database will eventually be restored?

 

[Belial]

Am I the only one having problems when writing posts? Sometimes the cursor jumps on his own to an undesirable position...

This new site is blocked at work whereas the old one worked fine. Probably not a bad thing.

 

[OldCraig71]

It's just preseason, everyone needs to relax, by the time the regular season rolls around this site will be running just fine.

Your employer's IT department has probably blocked Zenforo websites, since its a popular forum software. They probably didn't bother blocking the old HF software because it was so old lol

Really nice bout would it be possible to have a darker theme. On a wide screen it's a sea of white with some text on the left?

 

[Peanut]

Is there a way to lose the thumb nails on the left before entering a thread? Its such a waste of space

If you're using Chrome this works pretty well:

You could try downloading this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...jnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe/related?hl=en

and this style for it: https://userstyles.org/styles/148793/bba-hfboards?utm_campaign=stylish_stylepage

Well i'm kind of dumb tonight i have greasemonkey installed so i can make my own theme.

 

[zzoo]

With this change, I can no longer access the forums at work as it's blocked. I can go to most of the websites at work except a few ones; and unfortunately this new forum is one of them

 

[Vicious]

Whole lot to get used to after all this time. I can't just automatically go to forum #16 anymore

@Buffaloed we need this boards to be 2017, please bring emojis compatibility

 

[groovejuice]

I noticed a post edited by a moderator where he/she wasn't identified except by "moderator". If this is policy now, I'd like to suggest that it's not a good idea as it removes the accountability of individual mods from the regular posters.

Click the little blue dot on the left of the thread title.

Haven't seen it mentioned but themes are a beautiful thing. I wouldn't be surprised if a theme allows that, or if we eventually get it in settings, but it's not really priority.

Yeeeesh, a lot to take in. Wasn't expecting a whole overhaul when I heard things were moving over. Guess that's what I get for not doing my homework.

Oh well, time will tell if these changes are good or bad.
