Posted November 21, 2015 It is usually a good idea to build a new system in a separate place to get it more or less ready to go before switching over. The new forum feels highly unpolished, though I can see some nice features shining through from the background. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 21, 2015 Sorry but this new forum is totally messed up for Chrome users, its a sad move. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2015 think this has a lot of promise! I'm sure there's ample customization available when you get to that part. KunAlt, Chrome as opposed to? Just curious, I looked at this in Microsoft's Edge as well, looked exactly the same to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw a checkbox for sounds there. I'd imagine that would do it, but haven't been on long enough to confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Lmfao. Could we have a rage thread and a legitimate discussion only thread? I do love that this is a rage thread though... bahaha. I'll paste this over if that thread is created. I'm fine with the high contrast, clearly due to my font color. Rather, I have everything on high contrast mode but still, I would recommend a "lights off" feature that I've seen on a few other forums. I'm unsure if it's possible with the current forum host though. The signature settings does this: Sorry, there is a problem Only members who have been registered for 180 days can change their signature. You will be able to change your signature on 03/13/2016. The switch for raw html isn't there anymore but I bet it won't be hard to build bbcode posts on a coding sheet and paste them over. I DO wonder if this forum supports other scripting languages. If so, it understandably will probably be turned off. lol. I feel that the unread content filter is going to be niiice. Likely will take some trial and error to get it to work how I want it to but it is forseeably beneficial. The YOU POSTED TOO SOON popup is now a new page which is a ###### when waiting to fix a forum search. Normally you just wait until the click goes through. Now it empties the search box and stays on the too soon page. An easy work around is to click your url at the top (stays as your search url after warning) and click enter/refresh. Newbies will get owned by this. lol. I'm a fan of the boolean search feature that this has. Exact wording search OR close to wording search. I wonder what the hell the number of views filter will be any good for.. seems like nonsense other than "just because". The About Me page has that nifty thing "Currently". I'd prefer to turn that off. I like the reputation feature. When creepily stalking people, you can see all the content that they clicked like on. Now what kind of things does Rolf like... XD The bottom of this chatbox that I'm typing in has a notify switch. I feel that is going to be reeeally nice.. I feel it allows more selectivity. For those that get owned by white monitor sensitivity, I'd recommend chromes invert color extention. alas, I'm just some nobody with an obnoxious font that I've used for like 10 years. At least, that's what your average meatbag thinks. XD Edited November 21, 2015 by Takinshi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 21, 2015 This is actually what the forum looked like in 2004 https://web.archive.org/web/20041114231818/http://www.wurmonline.com/forum/ Things got more edgy in 2005 https://web.archive.org/web/20051013062129/http://wurmonline.com/forum/ And oh look out, 2008, where are you going dressed like that? https://web.archive.org/web/20080815040118/http://www.wurmonline.com/forum/ Hmm 2009, interesting palette https://web.archive.org/web/20090925033937/http://wurmonline.com/forum/ 2011: Getting closer ... https://web.archive.org/web/20110924151518/http://wurmonline.com/forum/ Somewhere around 2012 the previous format kicked in (previous to this). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Hrm just when I was accustomed to navigating the old(but new) forums. Welp... long as we get optional themes, possibly even kingdom ones. MR Empire colors ftw! Edited November 21, 2015 by Klaa 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 21, 2015 2 hours ago, Jberg said: We'll get a new one with similar properties to the last one built ASAP! This new forum version were sadly not backwards compatible in regards to that :/ Good to read that this glaring white background is slated to be changed soon as I agree with others that it is too harsh on the eyes. The old colors worked well in that respect so hopefully they will return soon to that type of shading. Also, I don't see any option to "preview" this post. I had almost always used that before posting to proofread my wording and train of thoughts presented. Really should have that option retained on this forum. =Ayes= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2015 As long as they don't something like "Brash edited this post 183 times." I always found those to be frightfully embarrassing. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
