Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 26, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted September 26, 2011 One other problem. Clicking on the title of this thread from the New Content page takes me to the first page of the thread rather than the page I'm up to. Also, the title is still bold on the New Content page once I've finished reading the thread so it makes it look as if there are new posts (despite the fact that there weren't any). the "view new content" page works a little differently in the new version of IPB, to go to the first unread post click the icon to the left of the title instead of the title itself, and when there are no longer any unread posts that icon will no longer be lit up and clickable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Beyond the obvious timeout errors I'm still getting, looks like the upgrade went quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seizure1990 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Sorry if this has been asked, but is there a way to choose the layout? I preferred the old one. This version has way too much white, and my monitor has contrast issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvo Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 We do definitely need alternative themes. This one's too light. On top of being hard on the eyes because of all the light colors, it uses more energy from your monitor so it's not a "green" theme. Freaking impatient ducks, they ain't done..... Well, they should have tested it with a sample number of users instead of transforming the whole community into test dummies. You are bound to get users leaving the community by doing this.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 26, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted September 26, 2011 people, just like after every upgrade (and this had been said in many threads including this one) alternate themes will come AFTER the post upgrade bugs get fixed, for now you are stuck with the default Pegasus theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are bound to get users leaving the community by doing this. This thread has been open for almost 2 weeks: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1023684-test-drive-neowin-on-ipb-32/ All members had a chance to test it and say what they liked and disliked. We can't fix things that people don't complain about ;) Brandon H 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 26, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted September 26, 2011 still getting the driver error every now and again i assume that's just due to the devs working on the forums files to fix bugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisan Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 While my eyes burn from the brightness, so far the forums seem really, really slow. I clicked to refresh a few pages literally 5 minutes ago, and I'm STILL waiting for them to load. They do load eventually, but so far it takes a minimum of 60 seconds or so for a page to load. Hope its fixed soon, getting tired of waiting for every page I click to load for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorak Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The only minor minor part I do not like is the the sorting method on the right of "Show New Content". Other than that...I freaking love it. :heart: :heart: :heart: I would take 3.2 out and even call her the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo003 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Looks great but few minor issue with images and no new content and random driver issue notice. Seems like this time you mods are having lot of troblem upgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've also found if your old Avatar was really pixelated, simply delete it and reupload it and it should fix it, even if the size hasn't changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 the "view new content" page works a little differently in the new version of IPB, to go to the first unread post click the icon to the left of the title instead of the title itself, and when there are no longer any unread posts that icon will no longer be lit up and clickable Hmmm, that seems like a big step backward but it doesn't work either. Clicking on the bullet to the left of the title just takes me to the first post in the thread rather than the point that I've read to. I'm starting to wonder why the forum was upgraded and what the benefits are meant to be :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMan Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 We do definitely need alternative themes. This one's too light. On top of being hard on the eyes because of all the light colors, it uses more energy from your monitor so it's not a "green" theme. Well all the light colors and lack of contrast is horrible, especially on laptop screens which generally have contrast problems. However unless, your monitor is a plasma screen, there's no difference in energy usage on black or white screens. You're confusing a myth from the old CRT days and from modern phones.

YounGMessiah Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 My laptop doesn't have contrast issues, nor does my other one. Yes it is a bright theme and I prefer dark themes, but people are over exaggerating the point. It is not that hard to read stuff even had my mom who has bad eye sight look and no problems for her.
