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

[HamiltonNHL]

This style has lots of responsive failures. Exhibit A:

See the red message way off screen ?

HFboards needs a proper style.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Site doing fine with mobile chrome full ads.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

The problem of the focus jumping after you click a notification seems resolved (it was due to ads being inserted).

The reloading while typing is very frustrating.

This happens constantly on mobile, and is absolutely brutal. I lose easily half the comments I try to post. It’s making the site borderline unusable.

I’m a software developer myself, and this is probably the worst bug I’ve seen go unfixed on a popular site for so long.

The reloading is still an issue.

Site doing fine with mobile chrome full ads.

Speed is still good.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Speed is still good.

But the webpagetest is quite bad

 

[HamiltonNHL]

here's a well performing site.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Has been slower of late. Initially, I thought it was the storm in Atlantic Canada but then I checked other sites, nope just over here.
Hopefully, it'll be fixed soon, not very fun atm, especially on game nights.

HFboards will need a new style for Xenforo 3.0
Consider hiring someone who knows what they are doing. The responsive style has multiple failures.

The waterfall is still comedy level.

Is it possible to ask for an experimental playoff Xenforo option for HFBoards/Leafs ?

Essentially it would be a subforum for GOAL analysis (for and against the Leafs). Each goal will be thread. It will include a video and people will discuss what happened on each goal.

The posts in the subforum wouldn't appear in mainboard's What's new. So there would be no impact of the subforum on any other member on the entire site.

These analyzed goals would be an SEO GOLDMINE. It will require ALOT of work by MEMBERS .... but they would be essentially working for free for HFBOARDS. HFBoards should see this as a unique form of Content that will drive traffic here.

WITH NO RISK.

Unique content, no risk. 2/2, WIN/WIN

I can SHOW YOU the Xenforo settings and what it will "look like".

As it is now, if the Leafs subforum makes alot of threads, they overpower the What's new that other members experience. This will help cut down on "Leafs" spam on other non-Leafs members.

EDIT.

2 steps:

1. make a subforum of the Leafs subforum ... call it .. ? Playoff Goals ? (or whatever you want).

2. set the subforum to not be included in What's New?

Admin CP -> Applications -> Display Node Tree -> [click the subforum called Playoff Goals] -> Forum Options: Include threads from this forum when users click "What's New?"

XF 1.1 - Exclude subforum from "What's new"?

Hey guys and gals, I'd like to know whether there is an option to exclude a subforum to show up in the "What's new" feed or not? We have a subforum showing RSS feeds from Twitter and the like and it's (understandably) annoying some of our users. I do love to have these kind of feeds on the...

[HamiltonNHL]

How it would "look".
My guess.

Of note: You would have to assign moderators / etc to the Playoff Goals subforum.

But there will be ad opportunities there. and it'll be an SEO goldmine ...

Worst case scenario ... it's unpopular and you just "dump" the threads into the Leafs subforum or delete them ... and close the subforum.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I saw someone created the Utah NHL Team subforum, so someone knows how to do it !!!

HFB member perk ideas

- unique reactions: beyond just

Xenforo ideas:

- start off with a Playoff Goal Thread - all goals are entered into the thread. The main content goals will be threadmarked.

- Xenforo idea could be that The first post of a Goal thread can be "inserted" as a post in a gameday thread. The goal thread would exist as a thread in the \playoff goals\ subforum. A [Comment] button would direct someone to the goal thread.

Valuable video.
Penalties.
Great chances.
Memorable moments.
great Tweets

Complete list of NHL.com Goals and Goal threads.
Pinned thread - Content.

Game Day Thread link

idea - content could be retrieved based on local database.

assigned members and moderators / admins can mark thread data (images, video, URLs, quotes, section of posts) for retrievability.

I believe @SniperHF is who you should be talking to about all this stuff.

Oh I see, remind me again about this on monday I'm about to start a road trip. But if you have a handful of people willing to do this and contribute i'd absolutely consider making the forum for you.

Ridiculous.

I gave up on using this site on Chrome at least 2 years ago.

If not for Brave I would have left the HF boards long ago.

Even now my responses are shorter than I would normally reply with as I only access HF on my phone, and finding key ring tedious compared to how quickly I could type using my laptop keyboard.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

a big seller here is adblock.
lol.

Mobile user experience is the worst I’ve ever used. Random refreshes while mid-message. Ads covering the entire screen.

I did, but I'd rather not have a separate browser for HF and didn't love Brave overall

a constant problem. I cant remember it happening with mobile brave.

Blocking the Post Reply button ?

An easy way to stop the ad covering the Post Reply button is to put a footer in Xenforo. So the add will appear below the Reply box.


@SniperHF

There appears to be no Xenforo footer on this skin.

Xenforo Cloud has scheduled an upgrade to XenForo version 2.2.16. This will take place on or shortly after the following date and time: Jul 05, 2024 at 05:00 PM (PT) We may experience a temporary downtime. Thanks for the patience.

Can there be a simple "We are upgrading our site" message during the downtime? Last time there was just a cloudflare notice that the site was down. Quite tacky overall.
