It's far more 'busy' though. The list used to be neat and tidy but now only the top 2 posts fit on my phone screen. No doubt get used to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyharmonies Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 The link to the main forum is something I need to manually re-add. It will probably be this weekend before I can spend significant time on this. It's definitely different... -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Howdy Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I take it that things still have no quite matched up as I cannot get the search function to find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's still rebuilding shit in the background. Unfortunately nothing I can do to speed up the process. At this rate it could be several days before it's done. Bleagh. They throttle the rebuild processes so they don't take CPU priority over active boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. M Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Definitely going to take a bit to get used to. Any chance of a dark mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've installed a default dark theme. Scroll to the bottom and select "Theme" to switch to a different one. Depending on what font colors people have used when posting it may or may not look decent. It's out of the box, so I've done no customization to it, but that should get you going for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rocker Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I like the "dark" theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Gold Donors Darkstone Posted September 27, 2017 Author 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Gee mate, it looks like you've been busy. It's getting back to that original style layout, but with a more polished look and feel. Nicely done and with the link to the main site incorporated, i'm all set. Thanks Dan.

martinsane Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Wowser indeed. Step away for a couple a days and whammo! The dark theme is very HOM like. I will toggle back n forth to see what is may favorite. Second thread and yes it is something to get used to but certainly fun. Thanks for stirring up the kettle Dan.

Stefan Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Using the 'new' forum this week I must say I really love the new look. A few features yet to be discovered but overall a great update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyharmonies Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Re: changing post counts Some of you have noticed that your post counts have gone down since the switch. I'm not 100% sure why that occurred, but my assumption is that as part of the changeover and the 2 days of background processes, everything got recounted from the ground up. Previously, what I believe happened is when a thread or post got deleted, the system didn't go back and lower the post counts of the people who posted in that deleted thread, so over the course of time, a portion of your post count was made up of posts/threads that no longer existed. I know at one point several years ago, I had to go back and delete a bunch of ancient threads that hadn't been responded to in many years, simply because the board was running up against its SQL database capacity. Post counts likely were not updated after that major pruning. Now they have. So y'all just need to post more again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
