SITE MIGRATION NOTICE (please read) & other related talk about format

[HamiltonNHL]

I suggested it 5 years ago.

 

[JadedLeaf]

Gonna take me a little bit to get used to the colors and such but not bad. I already messed up posting an image though hah.

These new forums are an eye-sore. Do not like.

 

[Borschevsky]

No https support? Not that it matters much for a sports forum I guess but it's becoming pretty standard.

 

[Kelly]

I always hate new updated things like when Xbox updated it's dashboard and when Facebook changed. It's just annoying to have to get use to a whole new system, especially when the other one was perfectly fine.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll forget about the old one in like a week.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Xenforo is going to be great !
The style needs a bit of work

 

[TootooTrain]

Does this new site format have a 'dark mode'? My eyes are going to be sore looking at this new thing.

 

[Borschevsky]

Does this new site format have a 'dark mode'? My eyes are going to be sore looking at this new thing.

Looks like there's only one theme for the time being. No idea if they plan on more.

 

[I Believe]

Wasn't prepared for the brightness

A darker theme would be amazing.

 

[Mitchy]

Me right now:

 

[mrJT]

yeah, is there a dark mode.... too much White.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

These new forums are an eye-sore. Do not like.

At least the migration appears to be successful in less than a day. Pretty impressive.

I've seen other very popular forums that I loved try the switch from vBulletin to something new and it was disaster, those forums are dead now.

So I'm just glad it's working well from what I can see so far.

I wonder if there's any appearance options?

 

[Jozay]

I wish they moved everything but the trade rumours and free agent talk and national hockey league talk below the divisions

 

[DopeyFish]

Yeah, a lot of the style needs work. I really don't like the truncated thread titles under last post on the forum landing. Needs shades of grey in order to make forum more usable. Postbit seems quite large on the side. Post like/quote/reply is floating towards bottom of posted text instead of bottom of the post frame which just looks odd. Like the go to top shortcut, though!

I wish the thread lists would have set margins so date, username and page shortcuts all start at same point on page...

 

[Menzinger]

While the new features are nice, the mobile experience is pretty terrible as simpler is often better here.

 

[LeafChief]

Very impressed that they were able to pull this off in 12 hours.

With that said, anyone else not a fan just yet? Way too much white and the posts kind of just flow into one another without any separation.

 

[JohnnyO]

Ya good its working, don't see any other themes at the moment though.

 

[ECanuck]

A little too bright on the eyes. Other than that looks pretty good.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Half the page is taken up with
Latest: A moment ago.

Total waste of space

If you can't fit all the Atlantic teams on one page ... you are doing it wrong.

 

[canadon]

Is there any way to ignore/hide threads like the old format used to have?

 

[TMLeafer]

The Chrome store has dark mode extensions you can try.

 

[DarkKnight]

Great job! Nobody likes change

 

[Median]

I don't mind the changes, but as others have said, PLEASE GIVE US A DARK THEME!

 

[MapleLeafs9]

This is definitely gonna take some getting used to

 

[NarcoPolo]

I find the UI much more mobile friendly. Like the change
