Silent Wind of Doom Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Huh. I seem to be in a bit of a situation at the moment. While we await the return of sigs, I'm out of business. It's okay, I'm fine with waiting. What intrigues me is that the artificial limit on image sizes seems to have been lifted. There was always a limit to image sizes (860px), but suddenly a new size restriction was added but never mentioned that shrunk anything above 589px down to that size. Going back and looking at my thread, all the images I've created are now larger and in stunning quality. I love it. Hopefully this remains, although given that I kind of think those who have put up to five of my images into their sig, I'll have to try to more actively get people to not go overboard this time. I don't like the round avatar at all, as it cuts out so much space for not much more reason than "It looks modern and neat." But hearing that that's a setting is nice, as well as the notifications. Like everyone else, I'm looking greatly forward to the future of the boards! EDIT: Although the notification system may need a little tweaking. After my comment, it told me there were now four new replies in this thread, and told me Hawk had commented again. Probably just a setting I need to fix.

I'd like to see sigs back, but again, y'all said it's still a work in progress. Same here. I'd just started working on my 2016 Winter line of sig pics last night. All roads lead to Dollar General.

CS85 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I...I oddly don't mind the circular avatars.

Speaking of which, I liked the old "auto-shrink" method of taking care of pictures larger than a certain size. You could click the image to get the full details if necessary, but you could also leave the image alone otherwise. What about, perhaps, making that "auto-shrink" size a little smaller so as to not clutter a thread (unless we're already there, of course)? Insert Signature Here? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey week Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 There also seems to be some issues with past quoted posts. I hope some of the imagery of the board returns, banners and whatnot, but it seems alright. 1 I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

BrianVlietDesign Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I actually kind of like the update. I know it's a work in progress. But I think it has great potential once complete. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberwolf Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I may have just missed it, but where are my messages? I may be just having a brain shutdown but I can't find them.... I sorta like the new layout...it'll take time to get used to! And I never really loved signatures...they cluttered up the comments sometimes. NVM I found the messages, just couldn't see it lol...

Silent Wind of Doom Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Well, such settings as signatures and image sizes can be handled with local settings. I wish that would be the final choice rather than a global shrinkening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoknight Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The layout is like Buffaslug knocked up the new Buccaneers jerseys. Sarcasm aside, I HATE that quotes are no longer contained within a border. It looks like every new poster is saying the EXACT same thing since you can't distinguish between quoted text and the new reply. Sorry guys, it's barfy. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.
