Bugs/Optimisation Issues
Logo - needs resizing in Light & Dark modes, and the Xenforo logo switched out in the Default mode.
...ironically, each one gives a clue in how to fix the other. The Default has no 'Home' on the header-bar, instead just using the larger Xenforo logo (which still links to QQ home) which is mounted above the header-bar at the top of the page. Ape the same setup with the other skins, with the QQ logo taking the place of the Xenforo logo, and it'll probably be good enough. (Unless you're wedded to the big mostly-empty element at the head of every page like you get on SB/SV/etc. - personally I think its absence is an improvement.)EDIT: Fixed in Light & Dark modes, via return of big empty element.
Margins - need dynamic adjusting to fit different-sized screens without stretching.
EDIT: Toggle added next to Style Chooser.
Dice roller - broken/missing.
Tabs - broken. [EDIT: Tabs now fixed.]
(Not mentioned yet, but Voter Result - also broken.)IMG - vanilla bbcode appears broken.
Embeds - various posts have been corrupted, seemingly thanks to newly applied URL true-unfurl not nesting properly into Spoilers.
Lists & Indents - icon(s) missing from both Froala and TinyMCE.
...Though note that the bbcodes for those at least still work.
Old QQ links - broken.
...Specifically: the default link obtained by clicking the [post#] ('threads/[threadname].[thread#]/page-[page#]#post-[post#]') prior to the XF2 upgrade, now redirects to the top of [page#] while ignoring the [post#]. AKA, it'll take you to the right page, but to the top of the page instead of straight to the post you should've skipped to.
The new default setup is 'threads/[threadname].[thread#]/post-[post#]', which of course works fine.EDIT: Seems fixed, old threadlink works fine now.
Commenting on profile posts/status- bugged.
...Specifically: clicking the comment box to type in it duplicates the box (along with whatever text is inside it at the time). Subsequent clicks (but not typing) generate another duplicate box for each click. (Fortunately, actually hitting Post only posts the comment you were just typing in; but that doesn't clear any of the boxes, which can only be cleared/removed by Refreshing the page.)
Lag - so much lag.
...Most noticeably concerning large images & gifs. Like, I'm seeing tenfold increases in loading time. This may or may not be tied to the new popup feature re. resized pics.
Major XF1->XF2 Issues
Email alerts- changed.
...As in, 'entire content of post' has been cropped out in favour of a notification & link. Apparently there's a way to restore at least small summaries? I don't know that we can get that whole-post functionality back - or even if QQ legally should, considering the whole porn-straight-to-your-inbox aspect... (Another more recent complaint is that following the link requires you to log in, even if you're already logged in - more details needed.)
Header- there's a header, and it's Sticky-er than you want your header.
...On mobile, it appears to at least work how you'd expect one to work - disappears when you scroll down the page, reappears when you scroll up, etc.. On desktop, it never disappears (and it has the added effect of obscuring the Theadmarks post-header). Adding the Preference option of toggling it on or off is the obvious solution.EDIT: Toggle added in Preferences.
Auto-scrolling- especially to 'new messages' box on last page of a thread.
...But also common when scrolling down too soon from a link's landing point.
Similar Threads- it's there, you can't collapse it, and you should be able to.
...Also, being able to collapse the 'Users who are viewing this thread' section as well would also be nice - or at least adjust the list of users down to a smaller amount in the same vein as shrinking the number of Similar Threads shown.EDIT: Similar Threads can now be collapsed. The 'Users viewing' element has also been shifted below the reply box, which is nice.
Style Chooser Issues
XF1 skins- lost.
...And honestly, I suspect it'll take a while to get any of them back. IIRC they need to be either built from the ground up or whole-hog edited from another skin, so...EDIT: But they did dash out and grab 4 Blackened skins to tinker with. Still pretty basic as of this 1st large edit (~11-12 hours after posting), notably the logo not being stylised.
Light/Dark skins- bloated.
...It's especially notable at the bottom of each page, with a huge element that's largely duplicate functions of other page-sections: What's New in the header, and Share This Page under the Similar Threads section. Frankly the Forum Statistics section is pretty useless outside of the main page too. Just cut the element if at all possible.EDIT: Specific complaint now fixed for Light & Dark skins - entire element cut.
Light/dark skins- also need at least some level of tinkering.
...Things like the grey-grey-grey of Dark Mode, at least shifting the in-thread text a lighter shade. And the unnecessarily shrunken text in Quotes. And the dividing line between post-text and signatures, which is damn near invisible. And more colours, for things like links etc.. And the lost Banners (Administrator, Gone For Good, etc.) etc. under the php's/names. And so forth.
There are a few other things. Some are minor QoL losses, that I can take or leave (and will mostly have to take)...
- Loss of default pfp's; also loss of moving pfp's (such as those used by Plotvitalnpc or Arc-on-Fire). We might be able to get the former back, but probably not the latter.
- Loss of XF1 click-on-portrait (in desktop). The main loss here is not being able to get a better look at a given user's pfp without visiting their profile. (This seems to be a mobile-friendliness functionality loss. I don't think we're getting it back.)
- Date/time of post shifted to top from bottom. A minor added layer of annoyance when you need to check the last post's date to see if you're about to necro a thread with your reply.
- Reader Mode shifted down from 30 to 10 posts/page. I think that can be adjusted; in fact, I think the previous reader-mode number might've been a kludge. [EDIT: Comments/page adjuster added in Preferences - only affects standard view, though. Reader Mode now shifted upward to 20 posts/page.]
...while other things were a case of just...y'know, They Changed It Slightly, Now It Sucks And/Or I Can't Find It!.
...
Ah well, we'll see what happens. In the meantime, at least we still have the troll-emoji. It could be worse.
(...Also: gotta have a little giggle over the moxy of leaving the Angry reaction available while we're all bitching about the XF2 changeover. [EDIT: And gone, only a couple hours later.])
Did you go back to a previously visited page? Because it might be that. Try refreshing it when you've got the width set to what you want.
I'm glad I saw this, because I hate the shaded header on Lightened theme and having the sticky bar always on screen was annoying the crap outa me. Now I just have to ignore it everywhere else it appears, which is much more doable when it isn't always on screen.
Is there an option to sort threads by date? It was a fast way to find new stuff.

I want my xtables back, with my ability to change the background color, line width, line color, colspans and rowspans. They're useful for making nice formatting and ensuring images and text go in nice places. Table properties and cell properties has been removed from the default editor, and lobotomized in TinyMCE. |
