    Hey,

    XenForo 1.5 was released. This means that I'll be taking care of upgrading forums like the previous time.
    That's as well a lot of work to be done. Do you have any wishes on what to do with the forums? Any changes? Any add-ons to add/remove?

    Now is the time to say something.

    Cheers,
    Furai

    As moderators didn't really have much to say (as you can see there are no replies) I've moved the topic into the public. I'd appreciate only sensible responses.

    I'd like to see profile likes back, I get why they were removed but I don't see them being that big of a problem.

    Set the default back to Baisik (maybe fluid), I don't see why this was ever changed, Casual looks pretty bad IMO, I feel bad for people who don't know how to change theme. Also I'd like the background to be changed
    [​IMG]
    Default

    [​IMG]
    Baisik with new background (made the background quick, could probably make a better one)

    I can't think of anything else. I was wondering though what's going on with the making KAG forums into THD forums, weren't you going to do something like that? https://forum.thd.vg/ would redirect to THD forums and from there you can select seperate games for seperate forums.

    Profile likes won't come back. I don't see reason for them to be there.

    As to skins - just change them for yourself. Anyway, after upgrade skins will probably break again and I'll have to fix them by hand again.

    The thd.vg thing will be there, eventually.

    The only thing "sucks" is theme. You guys should start to work on its own. Kaggy for now and when you add other game's subforums, you could make every section in game's theme. It should not be that hard to do.
    Also I agree with Mazey, Basic fluid is the best theme and it seems to me like fixing other themes every update is a waste of time.
    Add-ons, huh.. Maybe this? https://forum.thd.vg/threads/link-to-desktop-version-on-mobile.23342/ but it's not needed that much anymore (still got the problems, tho).

    Forum is good as it is,just default skin sucks.

    Default skin should be Basik, casual seems very dull IMHO. Can't really think of anything else that really needs to be improve.

    I'm using default xenforo anyway. I'll think of changing the default theme.

    Just so long as there's a Casual or Casual-equivalent still available. Being able to spot white-text at a glance is invaluable.

    XenFracture? Allows you to customize plenty of colors

    Maybe if people actually donated more money to the forums by buying forum upgrades we could afford some sexy skins to buy. I don't really want to fix the skins on my own but I don't have big problem with it either.

    The only thing I think needs to change is the fact that profile posts are no longer private.... Alright they weren't private before but it wasn't broadcast to the whole community...

    Profile posts shouldn't even exist in the first place. And I like it's current way they are used, as a little shoutbox.

    I can see how you'd be missing the more intimate (and yet, less formal than a PM) nature on profile posts, toffie; but, honestly, as they currently stand I'm seeing a lot of cross-pollination between members of the community who don't otherwise appear to have much in common--so to my mind the small loss of privacy has been countered by comparatively larger gain in community cohesion. After all, you've still got PMs, or commenting on old profile posts, or chatting via an IRC personal query, or in-game on a quite server, or... :3

    What FBB said.

    So, I'm going to upgrade the forums today/tomorrow.

    I'll try to give you some notice beforehand.

    The only true theme/skin:
    screenshot-{domain} {date} {time}.png
    With help of Geti or some forum members you could add 'kaggy' icons, backgrounds or/and make a KAG, TR themed subforums. This is how this forum should look like in my opinion.
    Baisik Fluid is the best and I think it would not be necessary to create a theme from scratch. All what's needed is some changes in CSS/Html code, custom icons and that's it. One, two days of work.

    It's all not that easy with XenForo. I wasn't able to find an easy way to change themes/skins dynamically basing on the node you're in. You can only force on the users that this subforum should be watched only with this skin. No way to easily just change background or some colour of existing skin when you're in subforum.

    If you want to help - do some research.
