OT: New Boards

[Aphid Attraction]

How do you post a gif now? This should be a gif but comes up only as a photo

You post multiple still shots of the gif you want, and we just scroll past them fast… the more the better, but don’t mix up the order

That Giraffe is massive, the size of two half giraffes even

 

[M2Beezy]

And there comes the poisonous adds, this is even worse than before the change YIKES

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Add a "next page" button at the top like at the bottom, then it's fine.

It has now been changed much better.

 

[Jyrki21]

Is there still a place to see a poster's username history? It gets confusing in here sometimes.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Are the new boards also going to crash tomorrow?

 

[racerjoe]

How do we see who voted in polls?

Whether you can see who voted or not and on what choice is a setting when people make the poll, it's possible that setting was not ticked.

The new boards are just shockingly bad, I've been here lurking for what feels like a decade and I'm not sure I'll stick around through this, it took me reloading the Dermott trade thread 5 times just to be able to see more than 4 comments 40 minutes after it had been created, its so glitchy

My biggest issue is the forum still hides threads if they are started by someone on my ignore list.

it’s actually worse than the old board because before even if the thread was hidden you would still see it on the splash page if it was an active thread, which was fine for GDTs

now even if you log out and copy the thread url, you are forbidden to enter the thread when you log back in.

or maybe just posters who are widely blocked shouldn’t be starting GDTs, idk

Can't view this site properly on mobile.

Feels like Im on Facebook.... not a fan at all

I'm also having trouble with this.

It used to be that when there was a thread started by someone I had chosen to ignore, I could get into the thread by going to hfb and opening the thread before logging in. Then, once the thread was opened, I could log in and read the thread without the input from posters I ignore, including the person who started the thread.

Now when trying that the system gives me a security message and won't let me log in, forcing me to choose to not see that thread or to see posts that I've previously determined would detract from my enjoyment of hfb.

I'm not seeing this issue on my test account, are you two way ignoring these posters?

Maybe try unignoring and then reignoring them.

I still can't ignore myself.

 

[Bubbles]

And it crashed already. New boards, same problems. That's probably why I'm still here.

 

[Red]

Every year like clockwork.

nope, unignoring/reignoring didn't work

I never used to get ads and now I do 0/10.

Also, clicking the notification bell twice opens up a different page instead of making the pop-down menu disappear. Absolutely un-usable.

No ads here. Boards is super clean.

I use the AdBlock Plus extension on Chrome & Firefox.

Click notification bell, then click anywhere outside it to cancel popdown.

Former mods have basically the same bennefits as sponsors but the reason you are getting ads is because the ad code is still being worked on and doesn't get shut off by default.

You ahve to change your style in preferences to an ad free style.

I love that I can ignore threads, so as soon as they pop up, I can ignore proposals in the trades forum

It's a nice feature. Given that it's so easy to ignore threads, they should not be hidden if you happen to have the thread creator on your ignore list. The "show ignored content" button at the bottom of the page is not great.

Otherwise, things are working well from my point of view and I have no problems with the layout.

That part doesn't bother me since I've only got one person on ignore, and his threads are so blatantly stupid so haha
