Official "Missing features" thread: we'll bring them back for you!

[Costello]

Post here anything that you find to be missing after the IPB to XenForo switch.
We'll progressively bring the features back to life.

Thank you everyone!

Blogs give me an error.

I like the post color alternation, I think it works just fine (others may prefer the bar).

As far as "what's new?" and the thread lists, could the number of pages be visible always instead of just on hover? It's an easy way to tell if a thread is new or not, or popular or not.

The DS, Xbox, and PS icons on the banner aren't clickable.

And I'm also one of those who wants the borders to return. The divisions between the posts were so nice on the old layout, now it looks like every post is put on a blank piece of paper not only is it disorienting but it becomes pretty eye straining after a while due to all the white. It seems like a lot of people feel this way, hopefully something will be done in the future. If it's not too much to ask for I would like the forums to look as close to the old one as possible
It will definitely be interesting to see the temp slowly getting polished with new and returning features.


Unrelated: My avatar is 100x100 but it's still blurred, does anyone know how I can fix this?


Edit: Wait a minute, the post are alternating in colors ever so slightly, I had to lower my contrast to notice it. Still not digging it though.

Pixel perfect size appears to be 96x96 (with the remaining pixels being the white border itself) ... try that resloution

It appears that animated Gifs are broken but that could just be a problem on my end since I don't see anyone else mentioning it.

Also I do kind of miss the medals.

I don't see any GIFs animating, either.

Good to know. In that case, If we could have those back that would be great.

(anyone prepared for the like counter induced like whoring fest?)

The search is better as you promised it would be on IRC and I am glad to see the back of the somewhat broken "view member's topics, view member's posts" however for mere shortcuts I did get used to the forum "filters"- if ever I remembered posting in a thread and thought it would be useful to the current thread I was posting in I would flick back to the forum, click "all threads I replied in" (or indeed all threads I started) and in a few seconds it would appear. That said the new search box is more than capable of doing something similar.

Also topic tags as they were really good for longer running features and did kind of work, but I mentioned those elsewhere.

I wouldn't mind a text editor that did not keep formatting either- on IPB I dropped the fancy text editor for the "simpler" one and it went great.

If you mean a plaintext editor (standard browser's text box), there's a profile setting for it now, somewhere.

Not exactly a missing feature, but the page numbers are less contrasting now, so they almost seem to go unnoticed for me.

And now birthdates can't be adjusted. Not just that, but it's changed the year on mine so it thinks I'm only 112.

 

[FAST6191]

Despite about a hour of methodical "what does this button do?" earlier today I had somehow missed the "Use the rich text editor to create and edit messages" option in http://gbatemp.net/account/preferences
I guess it is time to get ready to hand my "likes to pull things apart" club membership badge back in.

Edit- it seems to remove the keyboard functionality for adding bold and such like (opening my bookmarks instead) unlike the old one.

Same, page numbers are less visibile.

Also, is there a possibility we might see the return of the tags, which you could use to make your topic much easier to find? I just needed to search a specific Tempcast episode, and I noticed the tags weren't in their usual spot anymore!

The number of profile views you have is missing, correct me if I'm wrong.
You can't see who's viewing the thread anymore.
Missing the subforum icons in the recent posts section on the main page.

First will probably not be added back.
Second one may be added, but it won't be soon.
Recent topics main page block will be added back.

Oh, also some way of knowing if the thread contains unread messages or not. Similar to the opened envelope (with a black dot if you've posted) on the previous site.

Topics with unread messages should be bold.

I miss the Tapatalk plugin.
Does it come back, or is Tapatalk not supported on this new forum??

Greetings, Rik

Tapatalk will be installed later on.

I'd like the ability to filter out certain forums in the Unread Posts section. Pretty much all I read is the Off Topic, Wii, and 3DS sections.

Will be considered.

Not really a bug or missing feature, but i notice that the tab icon is still the V2 Tempy icon. Is there any plan to update him to the new sleek Tempy?

Not really important either haha

The icon won't be changed

Wiki pages are missing.

Wiki will be added back later.

Blogs give me an error.

Blogs will be imported later.

 

[BORTZ]

ok so there is no way to see who all liked a certain post is there?

Oh wait, Im a tard.

 

[Hells Malice]

No dark theme, unless I'm missing it somewhere.

MY EYES!!! OMG MY POOR VIRGIN EYES! THE LIGHT BURNNNNNSSSSSSSS

This so hard.
I can smell my eyeballs.

I shouldn't be able to smell my eyeballs while browsing the temp.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

TBH it took me two seconds to make a new avatar for the 100x100 so I'm fine with the current limits.

The ignore feature seems a little less than functional. No option to view ignored posts, no ignored shouts in the shoutbox, just not as polished as the GBAtemp ignore function.

Also was there always a character limit on status updates? Now it's like Twitter.

 

[chyyran]

I'm on my phone ATM, so the most obvious missing feature is the lack of a mobile theme. As well, not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but the tabs on the latest threads block is gone. Also, more a complaint than a missing feature, this new theme feels a bit clunky, and rushed, although you guys only had a week to work on it. What I'm saying is that it needs just a smidge more work, especially on the portal page.

 

[notmeanymore]

The alerts for how many PMs I have unread won't go away unless I manually read each PM. Not a super inconvenience, but definitely different from IPB.

 

[PolloDiablo]

Can't believe I'm going to ask this, but....
where is my fucking 90% warning level?!?!?

 

[Hyro-Sama]

I don't think the @[member=''] is working anymore.
