Oubliette_Red Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Iknowright!? I refreshed the page and the forums transformed on me. Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotech_Master Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Can anyone tell me how to get a code editor rather than a WYSIWYG editor? I want to do some editing on my guides to get rid of the extra spaces the conversion included, but if I copy and paste stuff into Emacs it loses the formatting. I need to be able to see and paste stuff with the BBcode intact. If you liked what I had to say, please check out my City of Heroes guides!

There's also a button for CODE as well. Also the desktop version of the editor has more editor buttons but the admins can change the editor toolbar and add in some missing buttons.

Leowyld Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I noticed the forums were changed when my bookmark didn't work correctly! Heh. Definitely looks different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaxArcana Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Well, it looks sleek, sure. Jury is still out on functionality. EDIT: another +1 in favor, there - you CAN still use BBC tags for bold, italic, etc, and the forum translates them properly when you post.

The forum can parse and translate BBCode, it is just not possible to continue using BBCode to maintain a post unless you keep a copy of the BBCode source somewhere else as when it is posted it up it is translated one-way. 1 Cipher City Council If you need help, please submit a support request here or use /petition in-game.

PaxArcana Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Well, you can still add to it with BBCode (I did, above, just now). Just, I suppose if you want to change the spelling (etc) of a word you've italicised or whatever, you have to delete the whole word and type it, and the BBCode, all over again. A bit of an extra hoop to jump through, but overall not too bad IMO. Global Handle: @PaxArcana ... Home servers on Live: Freedom & Virtue ...

Obitus Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The new forum is pretty swanky. My only complaint so far is that the double-spacing in the editor/preview turns into single-spacing when you hit post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilii Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Is the new forum software slow for anyone else? I'm getting a little above 2 seconds for each page load, as compared to sub-second response before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coin Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I like it! Now, how about the damn off-topic forum so we can talk about things like Comic Con news!

I'm sure for you it is. As you've said in the past you spend a great deal of time on these forums. However, it lacks visual differentiations between posts that the previous ones had for more quickly seeing threads. The current scheme blends in to where its just a sea of azure and white only. But I'm sure your satisfaction on these things will remain for the foreseeable future. Again its just a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has been done here is not shameful, even if it 'disappoints'. It's a frickin' Internet forum color scheme, not a sin against humanity. Fine, you don't like the changes. Trying to literally make the HC team feel _shame_ or any other negative emotion over changes they felt like making on thier servers is BS. If you don't like the format, use one of the many plug-ins for browsers that alter interfaces, not passive-aggressive guilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
