OT: The new hfboards, now with a higher character limit!

yep, way too bright. I get migraines, and this definitely doesn't help. Otherwise, the changes seem OK so far.

Hello, I am too dumb to find it myself, can someone point me to the option where I can disable signatures, profile pictures etc.? Thanks in advance. Cheers...

Leaving out the stuff that has already been mentioned:

- I enjoy the notification system. Already had quote notifiers enabled, but it could get rather annoying. I think you could already watch threads back then, but didn't really look into that. Now, I disabled the auto-watch option for replies, and basically only added all the Ducks prospects threads I could find right now from the prospect board to my watch list, so I'll now get a notification whenever there's something new about them. I think that's pretty neat.

- The quick navigation needs to be adjusted, IMO. I used forum jump all the time, and it's just not a very quick navigation if I have to scroll all the way down. Window needs to be larger so I can actually quickly navigate. The links to the profile settings in there are just as quickly accessible by clicking on the logo, so that's redundant there and just takes space away from forums I could more quickly jump to.

Wait - your name is snowave and you have issues with excessively white coloring?

For the signatures: Click your username at the upper right corner > click Preferences > Un-click the "show signatures" option. I don't think you can disable profile pictures though...

I had to disable the signatures already, due to the fact that there doesn't seem to be any restriction to those anymore. Some of those signature pictures are so obnoxious, Good Lord...

Yea, that's the first thing I noticed. I used quick navigation all the time.

Also, besides easier on the eyes background, choice of serif font would be nice. Sans-serif fonts are so 1999, we have high-res monitors now...

Did you try using the extension Stylish?

Download stylish: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...jnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe/related?hl=en

Then add this skin: https://userstyles.org/styles/148793/bba-hfboards?utm_campaign=stylish_stylepage

Here's a good work around.

Trophy Points & Likes feel like the reward systems they put in video games to keep you playing.

Was just thinking to myself, talking hockey is great, but it needs 1000% more virtue signaling and dog whistling. Et voila, a like system.

edit - I thought I posted this this morning, but it was still just sitting there in an edit box this afternoon, so I hit post...again(?).

I can't wait for the "10,000 trophy points club."

My password didn't work after the Migration. Finally got that sorted out.

Going to take a while to get used to the new format.

 

[Bender66]

Go to "Home" page, and hit "Toggle sidebar" (4 horizontal lines in the upper right corner).

Thanks for that. Would have never found it without going back to HOME.

 

[Bender66]

Errgh, my eyes are killing me with this blinding white background.

Also having trouble telling where one post ends and another begins without having to look at the avatar. Needs more delineation or shading between posts.

[The Noot]

Heh, I guess I now actually have an incentive to make it to 10k posts.

I really started to slow down my posting because I didn't want to admit to myself that I'm enough of a nerd to be this invested in a public, international hockey forum.

Now I can just tell myself that I did it for the trophy points. Which is comforting. I guess.

 

[ayrton2388]

Guys, can you post your complains in this thread, please?

http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/how-do-you-like-the-new-forum-look.2392339/

Hopefully, the lounge section will have more views from other members than the Anaheim Ducks sections. Maybe we can get the admins to do some changes?

 

[The Noot]

The Lounge hasn't been great since The Great Schism a few years back.

[mightyquack]

You should also post one in the political forum for how heavily it is moderated like the lounge

I like to think we are just a bunch of people that need an outlet for our hockey rage.

I’m going to bump this, because I think it was lost in the excitement of the new site...

I want to buy my nephews Ducks jerseys for Christmas. Anyone have any thoughts on buying jerseys for two year olds? Should I get them to fit? Or should I buy them bigger? What size does a two year old wear?

I might just go to the team store today. I’m sure they know what’s up.

Try Monkey Sports too. I would buy them on eBay though, better prices. As for the sizes you might want to ask their parents what size they wear? Some kids are bigger/smaller than others their age.

It's tough to frown on the new system when they've decided to name me a hall of famer.

That's disappointing, I really thought the cutoff was 75 trophy points.
