Know Issues - New Forum

Hey all
We have a few issues with the new forum, which we will fix the next days.

Unfortunately this cannot be done faster because of real life jobs :) - sorry for that.

To take an example .. some of you might find, that you are suddenly a part of the forum staff. That might NOT be the case. The forum permissions got screwed up in the transfer, which means that we have to set all permissions again. Because of this we decided to close all private forums until this is fixed.

Some pictures are missing - and that is because the gallery is gone. Pictures can be uploaded directly in a post instead. If you used to have a picture or banner in your signature, please upload it again. otherwise there will be small red crosses around.

On a few pages the style went bananas, and there are black text on a black background. All this will be fixed by time.

It's a very large job, changing from one type of forum platforum to a new forum platform - but I'm sure it will be awesome when everything works as it should again.

Please, stay tuned and also please notify us if you see something weird going on ^^

Thanks

 

I will look into the issue, Razer :) thanks for pointing it out.

 

Razer, I actually changed a lot of the fonts already in the Calypso Forum to Verdana - because that is my favorite font. I hate fonts (like this one) with 'feet' in it online and I really don't get why that was set as the default font on an online forum.

Nevertheless changing fonts in all sections with text on all the skins is something which takes time, and I might cheat and ask the xenforo community, if there's an easier way to do it. I went into the main css for the styles, but could not really see if there was one place to do this only.

-------------

I decided to change two of the forums into 'dark' forums. Those will be ROCKtropia and Cyrene, because they are already dark. This way you can choose what will be best for your eyes. The skins needs to be reversed then, and that might be a pain in the 'ass' because I changed some colors in the css-files - but hey, we won't know until we tried it ;)

I promise you ONE thing though - it's not going to be tonight - because we had only 5 hours of sleep last night because of the upgrade - and we NEED sleep lol!

Have fun :)

 

that is unfortunately a browser issue, Mindstar, and will be removed if you use Firefox (for example). We had other issues with the other forum with other browsers too and it is just not possible to make a platform fit into all browsers. I do hope they will find a solution for that - but I can recommend using Firefox instead of Explorer at any time (I always used Explore myself, until I found that I had problems with a lot of websites and Peter pointed me to Firefox)

 

that is weird, I use the same skin and do not have that problem on Firefox. I can also see your bg pictures are way more behind the actual forum. Did you try on both your stationaire pc and your laptop? Is this taken from your laptop?

Thanks

 

It depends on how wide your screen is too (the bg picture). About the navigation - I have no clue tbh. I can see it without problems both on Explore at work and on FireFox at home. So it's difficult to find out the reason. But we will look into it.

 

I like you Lerp :P
