Developer ImDaMisterL Posted July 24, 2017 Developer Share Posted July 24, 2017 The forums have upgraded once more! Fear not, forum dweller, if you hate or just heavily dislike the new forum and its features/designs, it usually passes after the first few weeks/months of being exposed to it. We are humans, and as such we despise change (most of the time), so it's normal to dislike this too, but I'm sure it'll grow on you Still, I've heard a few complaints, and some are valid, so you can both compliment Joe down below about how awesome the new forums are, how nice he is to allow us to change our ranks (or horrible, if you disliked that), ask him why the flip flop is the default text color now gray and marvel at how well trimmed and waxed his mustache is (I swear, that thing's an alien and not part of his body, but none of the mod staff will listen to me!).

minespatch Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm liking everything so far except for the default grey text. One of my future hopes for the forum is quoting from locked threads. I like how this forum lets you go to the thread the quotation came from and would really appreciate it being a future implementation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemInspectors Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I like how there's the klei header, It look nice and is consistent with the other Klei Websites, but I don't like how the theme is smooth and Vibrant, Probably just the new thing bleh effect. Also the reactions are a bit to quick and can get in the way of looking @ Other's reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fimmatek Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I agree with ThemInspectors, I aslo liked the old design better. This new is somehow... disturbing. But as ImDaMisterL said, I guess I'll get used to it. We'll see. Edit: omg. I just got the notification (btw, that bell sign is so small!) that ImDaMisterL "reacted" to my post. I also just realised that we now don't just "like" posts but can chose form emotions. Which is good, because we can show our feelings more precisely. But that word "reacted", omg. I also reacted to that, got a heart attack. I didn't know if the fact that ImDaMisterL "reacted" means something good or that I just got banned from the forums...

Ah, I thought it might be, but I wasn't sure. What I like about the update so far is the previously mentioned reactions, the banner at the top of the page, and that sub-forums are listed under the forums they're in on the main page; it saves you a click getting to them. I don't like how small the notification bell is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asparagus Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The new forum layout makes it look more... sterile... probably from all the bleach colors... I like it O__O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donke60 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I know this may seem petty but I mentally wondering about what happens to a reputation will he just constantly go up or will it stay at its numbers forever Spoiler I know this may seem petty but I really wondering about what happens to a reputation will he just constantly go up or will it stay at its numbers forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donke60 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Actually looking at reputation activity it seems to count all reactions you get as boosting your reputation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donke60 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I don't know because there's a lot more than one like but I'm still kind of said there's no unlike button but maybe everyone's reputation will be inflated a bit I Kinda used it as a good way to feel out people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister_Fang Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Huh. Things changed. Well... this will take some getting used to. Especially the new like or "react" thing that's going on. That just feels kinda weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blewcheese Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Thinking back on how the forums looked back in 2013, where it was mostly blue (I think?) and pretty undecorated and without very much personality, it's super cool to see how far the site has grown since then. I've said it before, but props to the people managing all of this. It gets better and better, this version included imo. what? What do you mean I just wanted an excuse to be that guy who can say "back in my day"? Naaaaawwww.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yeah, it's gone through some changes. https://web.archive.org/web/20121010013819/http://forums.kleientertainment.com:80/forum.php https://web.archive.org/web/20130815103822/http://forums.kleientertainment.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20160729162824/http://forums.kleientertainment.com:80/ I was rather fond of the second one I made, but the forum software needed to be upgraded to a new version and the functionality and theme didn't carry over quite the same. I am pretty into what we have now, but I am used to it, since I have been working on it for a little while now. Thanks for all your feedback everybody - I am making changes based on your feedback while I get some things together, including DST and ONI badges! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donke60 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yeah I also have to agree with the bell thing on mobile it looks just like it did normally but when you're on desktop some stuff moved around it looks a little weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
