I like it. Aside from the fact that I had to switch to desktop to login.

Shit..... we have more vocabulary at our disposal now it seems

Love the aesthetics, and Think it was improved on Mobile.

If we're giving constructive feedback, two things.

1 - I'd like to see how many pages threads are without mousing over.

2 - autoplay. STOP IT!

Agreed. Overall, it looks nice, but there needs to be a way to turn off autoplay. A slightly dimmer background would be nice too.

So, if I were to post George Carlin's 7 Words You Can't Say on HF Boards, they would all show up now?

100% agree. The jet sound at the beginning of PMo's postgame presser scared the bejeebus outta me last night!

I love this. Well, at least on my desktop; haven't opened on my phone yet, so I'll reserve judgement.

That's what that was! I thought I had an ad pop up on me when I'm not supposed to have ads. I think it woke up the gf.

Nothing autoplays on my iPad

 

[Guardian17]

This will take some time getting used to.

 

[Hobble]

Hate it. Took me forever to find the Off Topic section, and now I can't find it again.

Would like more customizable options like whether to display avatars or not. There is an option to change "themes" in preferences but there is only one option there so it can't be changed.You can also increase or decrease threads and posts displayed per page in there.

They're using the Soviet Union method.

Would be nice to have a greyscale background option so it's not like looking at the sun.

I'm on the desktop and it's great for lighting up the living room!

 

[KingBogo]

My only real complaint is it cut Joan Jett out of my avatar.

I was just going to make the same f***ing joke.

Uh, "test".

Yep. The censorship filters have been lightened a bit.

This is a pretty common complaint about the migration. Admins will be looking at it, but there are a number of other items that take priority.

I actually prefer the mobile changes to the desktop ones, but I also don't use HF on mobile very often.
The best improvement IMO would be to remove all the extra white space spreading everything out - like mcpw said, zooming out helps a bit but the text then becomes annoyingly small

That mouse-over thing is a triumph of form over function. It's the way websites are going -- more "dynamic," or to put it more accurately, more crappy. It's the kind of thing talentless hacks come up with to justify their jobs.

I wrote a small tampermonkey/greasemonkey script for myself to make the new the new HFBoards color scheme easier on the eyes (Reading that GDT from last night on that brightness nearly gave me a headache). This is what it looks like (https://i.imgur.com/3ewsMIy.png):

If anyone else is interested in using it. You can install it from here https://openuserjs.org/scripts/lord-voldemort707/HFBoards_Style_Changer (installation instructions on that page). It should work with both desktop Chrome and desktop Firefox (I don't know about mobile though). If you don't like that color scheme you can change it something more to your liking by modifying the script.

Hey, the little X is gone. How do you ignore threads now?

Right now I don't think you can. The admin team is looking into it I believe.

My only real complaint is it cut Joan Jett out of my avatar.

And I LOVE that avatar!

 

[SLAYER]

TBH immediately after the migration I hated that a bunch of features were missing. Since then, they have been slowly re-added, and these new boards are getting much better. Really liking them now.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Also, no trophy for 20,000? Why am I even posting then?!?!

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Do we need a thread for Q&A's or a FAQ about the new SW?

I've been looking for a way to ignore a thread with no luck. That lead me to look for 'Help', also with no luck.
