The upgrade has been completed! Please post anything here that doesn't work or doesn't look right. There are tons of new features but some of the highlights: Post drafts will be saved every 60 seconds as you type. You can pick them up again from another computer or your phone or anywhere you log in. Drafts are saved for 48 hours. The site is now mobile-friendly! No more stupid pinch-zooming everywhere. Notifications. You will now get a little flag notification when someone quotes you, or mentions you in a post using the @ sign (like @Binary ), or posts in a thread you're subscribed to. If you'd like above notifications for all posts in threads you create or reply to, click your user name in the bar > Preferences > Check "Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply..." To view with no avatars, scroll down to the bottom and click on "The Idiot Board v1.1" then select the one labeled (no avatars). Reputation has been reset. Time to start rep-whoring again, Idiots. Better get busy. Feel free to ask questions or suggest things. This is a work in progress.
The new style/functionality is awesome. 99% of the time I spend on here is on my phone, so this is a huge leap forward. Great job!
I hate change! Kidding, thanks Binary. Mobile works great. - Can we get the TiB logo back at the top? - Are we stuck with square avatars, or is that something you can adjust? - Some older pictures are sideways. Is that just something that didn't translate correctly, or is that something the poster needs to correct?
It appears that even when logged out I can still view permanent threads. Since that's been historically "members only" territory, that might warrant a look.
No, we opened that up a while back. There's a new "Members Only" thread prefix that I applied to the boobie/booty/tiber threads which prevents guests from viewing them.
Ugh, that logo was hideous, and the transparency hack I applied to get it to work with the gradient of the old TIB header wasn't much better. Haven't looked into it. I'll do so at some point. The importing of old attachments was a little flaky. I'm guessing it won't be a problem with new attachments.
I always liked it. I thought it was funny that the "The" was capitalized and the "idiot" was not. Seemed appropriate. Long live TiB. Of course, I seem to be in the minority on most of the things around here, like keeping the WDT open. We dinosaurs have it rough.
Binary, this looks fucking great. It will take a bit to get used to the new software, but it will be totally worth it.
Down at the bottom where you see "The Idiot Board v1.1" - click, and select the one labeled (no avatars).
Is there a quote bubble option I am missing in the post reply window? I don't mean quoting a specific posters reply, I see that option, I mean creating a quote bubble for random quotes I might create from articles. I don't see the mark up text option for this anymore...?
Speaking of rep, if I have my alerts off, so that I don't get emails when I get rep or pm's, how do I read my rep comments?
Alerts do not generate emails. They only show up under that little flag in the nav bar. That will tell you your rep comments as you get them, and you can do that without getting emails. Otherwise, you can just go to your own profile page and click the Reputation tab which will list all of your reputation comments.
Yeah Im not seeing, or understanding the bolded. Also is there no option to PM reply to a specific post? As I wanted to do that with this reply as to not show publicly that I am that tech retarded. Im getting old all of this change scares me. Get off my lawn! edit wait I see it now. DURRRR
When you reply, in the icons along the top of the bar, look for the + sign. It's the 4th in from the right. You can send PMs to anyone by clicking on their username and selecting "Start Conversation."
Thanks for all the work Binary. I could be missing it, but on the old style there was a button on the top right where there would be a view last in a single thread, and a mark as read button in a sub forum, I don't see those, but I am probably blind.
