Dalton Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Based on Arlie's post, everything should load eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep my fingers crossed for that. On that basis, I'll have to wait to see what happens before I can post any new updates on my diary.

Markw Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 1 hour ago, Derek B said: It seems like the PM inboxes for people have significantly shrunk in size with the move. I think it used to be 500 messages in total for regular users, and a lot more for mods, but currently it seems to be limited to 50 for everyone. For what it's worth, the new system probably works out better for us, because one chat (say a PM between you and myself) would count as one message no matter how many times we go back and forth in that chat. It's only an issue because every individual message sent on the previous forum has been mapped across as its own message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellshock70 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Apparently the move recovered every message I have ever sent or received. A month or so ago I had exported a bunch then deleted them and was down to 250 (50%) on the old forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's some history to go through there. Thanks for the memories! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also seems to be a cutoff around March 23 for some threads. Reaper's title thread is 35 pages but cuts off on page 25 with the last posts being March 23, 2022. Saw another one... maybe Kam's logos that has that same date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much anyone that has ran mafia games, worked on mods or anything else that had a high volume of messages is probably gonna need a way to export their messages to sort later or might have to create a 2nd account until they can sort them out.

I noticed the same thing on my Rise of a Star diary, which covers 14 pages of posts but cuts off for me after page 7, with the most recent visible post dated March 21 (even though it, along with a number of other diaries here, has been very busy, with posts extending well past that date up to this past Wednesday, the day the forum move began).

milamber Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Any way to make the entire site (not just the background) lighter colored like before? It was much easier on the eyes, IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd1 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I agree with milamber, the lighter layout was much easier to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markw Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Yeah I agree re. the skin. I also wonder if it would be possible to move the general discussions thread into their game sections now? Being able to toggle categories so I just see the games I'm interested in would be really useful if we didn't still have the huge sections under GDS central, I want to see GDS General Discussions when I'm using the forum, but I'm not that interested TEW 2005 and WMMA 1/2/3 discussion you know? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Lyrium Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I disagree with milamber, but the option to choose would be cool. Most forums have a 'dark mode/light mode' option, which I can't seem to find here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falling_star Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Click on the "Customizer" switch on your control panel and you can select the background you want on the forums, light mode, dark mode, etc. It's the little slide icon to the right of your messages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you scroll right down to the very bottom of the board you can select from one of two themes - the default is dark, the other is a lighter version. It's next to the Contact Us button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Lyrium Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Assuming it's an option, can we have HTML enabled in the dynasties forums? The WYSIWYG editor is pretty, and cool, but a lot of people are used to the way they format their dynasties, and for some layouts it's more convenient to use HTML (thinking of tables in particular, which are fiddly AF in Word). Plus, the existing dynasties that use HTML are broken now (not to mention BBCode... but I'm guessing that one's not going to be an option over here?).

This one here ^^^ Plus you can set your forum width to fluid, which should help with a lot of the posts that have been created with defined widths. Eager for the cross-over to complete!

DarK_RaideR Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Based on the rate of compiling so far, can we get a rough estimate of when the forums are expected to be fully operational* again? *as in, not only showing the first page of a multi-page thread 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 There are still a ton of background processes going. On Monday, I will make a list of threads not fully loaded and send it to their support for them to check on. I'm also trying to get a lighter skin option that you guys can toggle. I have a partial one that Adam was talking about, but only the mods can see it as it isn't functional yet 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having all of those discussions sections for individual games in GDS central means I can't just toggle them and have only the ones I'm interested in visible. I'd like the discussion sections to be with their individual games so we get the most use out of the toggle personally.

Arlie Rahn Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Oh I see. I like to keep the general discussions for each game visible for new people so that they can see the games we have. Let me think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonk Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 It is a very long way to scroll down to get to the TEW2020 diaries and mods sections, which I imagine are by far the most visited sections (though happy to be proven wrong!). It'd also be good if users could change their names without having to PM a mod. Please consider this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
