The Official Anti - Change Thread

  • Xenforo Cloud upgraded our forum to XenForo version 2.3.4. This update has created styling issues to our current templates, this is just a temporary look. We will continue to work on clearing up these issues for the next few days and restore the site to it's more familiar look, but please report any other issues you may experience so we can look into. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I’ve been on this forum on and off for 14 years. This is the worst look it’s ever had. The UI/UX on mobile is terrible.
You wait until I embed my onlyfans stream. :sarcasm: It's all WIP though so it should get better, the main thing has been to try get the basics working, we can paint over all the duct tape we used after that.

Doesn't work for me either. It's on the dark mode setting, but it's still white.
Mine's looked like this from day one of the change:

It'd be great if we could eventually get back the ability to hide the sidebar, expand the site horizontally on desktop and hide avatars. No rush, though. Just whenever the admins get tired of adding new emojis. :)
 
So just as a reminder, the current style is not the style we are basing the real theme on. So any fixes/edits I do on this style would be non permanent and we'd basically have to re-learn how to do them again with different CSS in the real one once it's ready. Therefore it's not really worth fixing things in this default xenforo style unless it's critically broken.

Sidebar hiding is much requested, I was not optimistic it would return a few days ago but It's looking like it might.

In the WIP style the width is expanded by default.

Hide avatar, err ask again later. How that worked in XF2.2 is almost certainly different than 2.3 despite a small version change, given how much crap broke.
 
Thanks for the explanation and update, @SniperHF.
+1 to please get rid of the latest posts and upcoming events at the bottom of every page.
That's the "sidebar" that SniperHF just talked about. On desktop browsers, it's to the right of the forum. On mobile browsers, it's below.

Is it just me? Or do others agree that the HF site has never, ever been the epitome of the ideal website? I'm not launching bombs at HF, just pointing out that sometimes good functionality is all that's required.

I'm not arguing that the changes are going to be better or worse, just that more red isn't intrinsically better than more blue. Sometimes change is simply something you need to adapt to.
 
Well, i had dark mode after the update, now it suddenly disappeared and flashbanged the shit out of me, dear god.

Yeah I just made a post and it refreshed with a blinding white background :wally


Also lost the notification button on the top banner. Now I’ll never know when people laugh at my posts!
 
I dislike that the team subs are now behind an extra button on the main page. Just make them visible all the time.
