HF Board Update questions/issues thread

[Avsfan1921]

Hopefully we get the page picker back at the top, that is sorely missed.

I know they are working on a new dark mode style but it takes literally 5 secs to change font colors so the username and page numbers are easier to read. Then they could take their time to change whatever else they want to change.

@SniperHF is anyone else reporting this? I mostly use mobile and the scrolling has definitely gone down the tube since an update in the last couple days.

Just a fyi @SniperHF since yoy said report issues... This is still going on. Appears to be the compose button that's causing it. If you're scrolling that the button pops up, it freezes the scroll.

I'm still waiting a bit to fix things because of reasons beyond my control Maybe end of this week I'll amek another pass, almost every fix I've done before I have noted down and can reimplement faily easily.

Appears to be the compose button that's

Which compose button? New thread new post post reply etc ?

FWIW I have not observed this behavior on my various devices/browsers.

The new thread button from the main forum pages. Doesn't do anything within a thread itself.

I'm on safari mobile usually when I browse. Currently using light theme.

If you go to the news and announcements forum here where you do not have the ability to make a new thread, does it still do it or not do it?

It does not. That button also doesn't appear, assuming since my permissions prevent new threads.

It wasn't an issue before that button appeared in the last week-ish.

I switched to dark mode since it became available again. However, team boards are grouped up again, and I have to click for a drop-down menu for teams to show. Rather teams just be listed like light mode.

Okay... I know we are have discussed the emoticons for angry and wow.

But may I request a Todd Burtuzzi emotican for "It is what it is"?

f*** the turkey girl and Olli Jokinen give us the actual emojis FFS

 

[Ceremony]

I feel like the over/under line for who both gets the turkey girl reference and thinks it's funny is like 50 people. None of them are new users that have joined in the last 15 years.

The origin of turkey girl thread last year on the main board had 59 posts with many from the same people.

Is the plan to have to explain this to every new member that joins the site, because it doesn't look like a "wow" face?

If you mean you didn't get the turkey girl reference, I didn't get it at first either. Feels like a very niche main boards thing.

But you know what it is. It's HFBoards Heritage. You don't just abandon things because they're old.

Olli will go away after awhile along with sad face but turkey girl isn’t going anywhere

They're great, so of course, why would we keep them? Why even add them at all if they're just going to disappear? What's the actual justification?

And why are the avatars still so small? And why is there no home button at the top of the page on mobiles? Why are hyperlinks still the same colour as regular text?

Guess it's just personal preference. I hope we abandon Jimmy Fallon when he gets old for the same reasons.

I wished Dubas felt the same about Crosby.

 

[Foppa2118]

Yeah, that's virtual tie for me on who's funnier. Jimmy Fallon, Turkey Girl, or Sidney Crosby.

Might have to give it to Sid. He pretended to be a drive thru employee once.

It would be nice if the lower 5 or 6 topics of the General Hockey Discussion section could be placed into their own section so that it could be collapsed and making the General Hockey Discussion section shorter. It would reduce the amount of scrolling needed to get to the teams' sub-forums.

Agreed - as you said I think you can toss the Business of Hockey, History of Hockey, By the Numbers, Podcasts, and Rink/Sportsbook into a collapsed section. Main forum, trade section, polls, and team subforums are probably the most heavily visited sections outside of seasonal stuff like playoffs, WJC, olympics etc


Further, dark mode still has team subforums collapsed into lists. Hopefully that gets reverted eventually.

F*ck. Off.

I could probably do this but I don't think it's a good idea, the main boards get more traffic from scroll eyeballs and the "new posts" section than team boards do. team board posters are always motivated to find their board and don't have an issue getting there. If they don't even just bookmark straight over to it.

 

[SniperHF]

Dark mode should be less shit now, the colors still suck but I didn't do it

I may take it upon myself to fix them later but not today.

 

[UncleRisto]

Oh good, avatars are big again. That's important.

Yes, important things like that have been addressed.

Page changing option at the top of the thread?

Live threads?

See you in 2026.

Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't being sarcastic. This way, Duncan can see you better.

No, I mean you can see Duncan.

Understand. I'll give up this wish if you can change the username colors.

Did you check the top of the f***ing thread before shit posting?


Live threads are 100% out of our control it's the developers of the add on who haven't updated it

Woah woah buddy, tone it down. You don’t get paid to have a personality.

I’m in dark mode and it’s still in a barely visible dark blue.

Put your suspenders back on and get back to work.
