Awful

This is likely a result of the LaTeX error I pointed out in my post. The text actually extends off into the right nothingness right out of my comment, creating a scroll.
Unfortunately it seems to have been mainly a security issue.You should put the one who suggested to make QQ into SB 2.0 in hell.
This feels like one of those YMMV thing that could be solved with a option in the Alert preferences to simplify the alerts by taking out the tags.Something needs to be done about the amount of information each alert provides, especially when there are multiple alerts. It simply takes up too much space.
You can, actually. I just checked, and there is a checkbox for "Show tags in alerts". Just untick it, and the tags are gone.This feels like one of those YMMV thing that could be solved with a option in the Alert preferences to simplify the alerts by taking out the tags.
So, the short answer, is probably not any time soon.Hey mods, can we get some kind of announcement with like a timetable or a schedule or like, even just a 'best guess' at when the old styles will be ported over to this new website to un-fuck it?
It would be super reassuring if we could get some information on what's going on behind the scenes, because right now (insofar as I have been able to find maybe it's just me) it looks like there's no plans to update the style of the website beyond what it is at the current time I'm posting this. Will there be any publicly posted information? I'd love to know!
Is it just me, or the "Change width" keeps constantly resseting to 5% margins if you set them to 0%?
Do you still have the actual code for those themes? 'Cause we have enough expertise here for someone to look into it a little and tinker a bit. I could even maybe look into it myself. Maybe.So, the short answer, is probably not any time soon.
Longer answer is that XF1 themes and XF2 themes are fundamentally incompatable. We are unable to just lift a XF1 theme and drop it into XF2. What is worse is that many of the beloved themes we had before the migration have no XF2 versions, and the websites where we grabbed/purchased them from no longer exist. So, we are trying our best to get things into a working state that is within the "it is change and I hate it" realm instead of the "I actually cannot use this" realm.
Even longer answer is that what I've found out so far is that themes in XF1 and XF2 are some weird amalgamation of CSS, HTML layouts, and code that is all combined together. The selected theme is then served out to the user in a final html page and CSS that is made from that amalgam. From what I've gathered, enough has changed in how themes are structured or in the component parts I mentioned that updating a XF1 theme to XF2 or even just lifting the CSS portion from one to the other is non-trivial.
As far as other things going on, well, we just got the dice roller back online and working, amongst a ton of other small things.
It'd at least provide us a template to work from. I mean, using it as a starting point and swapping the colors around would get us somewhat closer to where we were, I think.See my previous post here.
2, and 3, seem to be solved. 1 still needs some work. Seriously, ask the folks at SpaceBattles to give you there "SpaceBattles - Light" theme. It's the best Xen 2 theme for reading fanfics. You really need it on this forum.
I hope you take my advice now.

Edit.
Please make the avatars big square ones. The little circle cuts off the image. It's hard to see what it is.
That was a thing from before the switch, too. I'm pretty sure it's on imgur's end, not this site.
I can get it to work fine, by using the Media option, akin to posting a video link to YouTube.That was the case even before the update, ever since the server move. Imgur seems to be directly blocking us.
a
elements, while the Thread Tools is a div
. It turns out that the a
elements have display: inline-flex
applied to them. If I add that to the Thread Tools div, the problem goes away and everything lines up properly..buttonGroup > .buttonGroup-buttonWrapper
rule that gives the div a float
property in order to fix things.Also, if possible, I would dearly love to have the Light Responsive theme back.
Really? Damn, that sucks. I guess it's Blackened Blue for me then.All previous themes were Xen 1 only. They will not work on Xen 2. This is one of the reasons I was against [strike]upgrading[/strike] downgrading to Xen 2.
