What do you think about it? Are you seeing any bugs or having issues with it? Do you like, like it, or just like it?

Feel free to let us know.

It will take a little getting used to, but I like it. I have not had any problems at this point, everything is quite smooth. Apparently it likes me, it gave me my old account back! No more Blasphemy!

I like it!

I'm still seeing broken code for bold, italic and url functions in posts and signatures carried overfrom the old boards.

This is the same behavior from last week when the beta test went live...

Any ETA as to when it'll be fixed?

At least 'yall fixed the bug with adding an Avatar before releasing this....

EDIT: Just look at my signature below for an example

Thanks

The major change (other than swapping the entire forum software) is that passwords are now directly tied to your DR game account. Previously you could have a different password on the boards from your game account. Your old board password will no longer work. If you use PlayNC to reset your game account password, your password here will change as well.

Feel free to discuss any minor issues you might notice. If you find anything major, security related, or otherwise potentially sensitive please report it through http://support.plaync.com.

Thanks

Dude, YOU were blasphemy?!?

I had no idea, and here I thought you had just disappeared....

Yep, it was evil 'ole me. This account locked up at some point and I could not get a reply. I made Blasphemy to speak with a moderator. I never actually got around to finding out what happened.

I see what you mean about the broken HTML code. Other than that it seems great.

Hmm, one question though. Will there be an option to stay logged in?

We are looking at it. No ETA yet.

Thanks

Another bug.

Clicking on anybodies username and selecting "view public profile" links to the current post I am in when I click on the name, not to any type of public profile I can see....

One last bug..... I *swear*...

How does one change their "location" in their account?

EXAMPLE: I want to change Location: R\'lyeh to get rid of the '\' but I cant see where this is done.

Clicking on User CP is no help...

I have to log in each time I come back and no where do I seem to have the option to remain logged in on each visit.

Ok, I figured this one out. I had to change to the default Vbulletin skin and then on the left hand side of the screen I could see under "Your Profile", Edit Your Details. Which is not otherwise displayed

It appears that the default & Dungeon Runners skins do not allow this to be displayed.

Would be nice to see this fixed.

So far I like it, but this is definitely going to take some getting use to. I haven't noted any other bugs though, besides the ones mentioned.

I've noticed some links point to "boards-beta.dungeonrunners.com" still, I saw one while registering this account and one or two others.

- Topics shows new posts/threads even if it were I who posted (Doesn't happen all the time, haven't figured out when it happens and not yet)

- I do NOT wanna subscribe to every dang thread I post in and having to go to User CP to remove it after every single post. (It feels important for that that this is fixed. I hope we don't get automatic mails every time someone has replied until this is fixed.)

But the new forums in general rules totally and I like it a lot better than the old one.

Oh, and please bring back the hilarious post-rating-name-thingies instead of "Junior" and "Senior" member.

Loving the new forum. Two things:

The font color selector in the advance editor is not working (while the one in the quick reply editor is).



Are you really going to allow images in posts?

I'm "diggin" the new forums. Mad props.

I had to redo my avatar though. You guys owe me 5 minutes of my life back. =P

Please don't. I check these forums from work on my breaks. Inappropriate pictures posted by a spambot (which is extremely common!) would get me in serious trouble.

I think this is fixed.. feel free to PM me with the URLs if you find any examples that are still not rendering correctly.

When posting in another thread just a few minutes ago, I noticed that when using the quote button to reply to a post the tags in my signature work when I preview my reply, but not after submitting it.

It's OK... just OK

What Khaz said, but in private messages.

And speaking of private messages, is there a way to not automatically save a sent message or adding a signature versus having to uncheck the boxes each time?

Yes, just uncheck those two boxes under the text editor before you click submit.

I've seen the same things with the code in PMs as Lyllia.

I just found a setting in Options that will let you disable images in post Khaz. It's down toward the bottom or so along with showing avatars and such.

I do that, I don't want to do it everytime is what I'm asking about :P

Unchecked and saved changes. Thanks!

Global options for PMs would be nice...

I like it better now that I actually got in. Strange that it let me use my original name that I have been unable to access for over a year. Need to setup my profile again. Oh well, guess I'm back

Woot! I'm a new kid again

Just a couple of things that are annoying me....

I used to be able to just click on the thread title and I would be taken to the first unread post. This starts me at post 1 and I have to go searching for new posts. Long threads can make this a real pain. Is there a different way to do the same thing with the new boards?

After reading a thread, I backup to the list of threads. With the old boards, it would be sitting where I was at, now I'm at the top of the page.

The boards aren't scaling to fit my widescreen monitor. It seems so cramped.

That is all I can think of for now.

There is a button before the thread title when new posts are present. That will take you to the first new post.

I also have a lot of room, left and right. I thought maybe that was the intended design. *shrug*

As Alien said, to the left of the thread-name is a blue button with a white arrow on it. Click that and you'll go to the last unread post.

Or you can click on the "First Unread Post" just underneath the "Post Reply" button right above the first post of the thread...

I still don't see the 'Change Location/Username' anywhere...Could you please get this fixed?

I think you missed my post, now 21 before yours with the answer to this.

http://boards.dungeonrunners.com/sho...9&postcount=12

Basically change to the default Vbulletin skin and you'll see the option on the left side of the screen you are looking for. The "default" and "Dungeon Runners" skins don't show this....yet.

EDIT: Been fixed apparently...

1.) Go to the User CP link in the upper left corner and click on it.
2.) Click on "edit profile" under "settings & options" to get to where you can change your location.

After going back to verify this info for you I don't see anywhere you can change your board name which is entered during the forum registration cuz you gotta use your DR Game sign in to sign in on the boards....

Where do you change the skin at?

A new issue/complaint:

Why only 10 minutes to edit a post before it's locked? that's too low and not nearly close to the amount of time we had on the OLD forums.

You didn't see my edit above? You don't need to change to the Vbulletin skin, they fixed the User CP.

Start there.

PM's have a limit to 5000 characters. That sounds like a lot, but if you got a long message and reply with a long message, you'll pass that limit way to fast, especially if you wanna leave the senders old message so they easier get a view of what has been said. I just got to almost 7000 without any trouble at all.
I suggest this is raised to at least 10,000 characters.

Yeah, I'll agree with LM on this one, since I have a tendency to get longwinded at times, which is odd, since I'm fairly antisocial.

So, any news on the "stay logged in" faeture. It's getting really annoying having to log in every time I check the forums...

<rant>

Don't get me wrong. I like some of the new features, but what's with the buttons and the icons? Is it some setting on my end?

I see ugly jagged white borders around most of the buttons, and the icons look like they were borrowed from Mac OS 7.1.1, circa 1989 (a good year, not counting Tiananmen Square, but hell -- the icons are older than most DR players).

</rant>

With so much devs leaving the team, I think they had to make the new forum available for us as fast as possible, with most of the bugs worked out. I don't know if it's so simple that they just have to change icons to one of the same sets but with transparent edges (many, or most, icons and such often comes in sets for different backgrounds) or if they have to fix all of them by hand. (Shouldn't take more than an hour IMO).

Maybe they'll just go for a complete new set of icons. These light-blue ones really don't look good on the brownish background.

Agreed..

I don't mean to be pushy about this, but I was replying to a thread earlier and in the meantime I was logged out. I was under the impression that there was some sort of magical button that could easily be pressed to adjust the 'stay logged-in time'. If it's more complicated, or if there is some other reason that the devs want a shorter logged-in time, I'd be happy to zip up or hear the reasons or both. heh heh

It is possible that this feature may be a bit "buggy". There are a few glitches I have seen pop up at random. For example, I read all of the new posts the other day and closed the page. Upon logging in later, the same threads were marked unread. It was a bit of a fluke, as it only happened once thus far.

I first use the New Posts function and then go to Quick Links - Mark Forums Read when I'm done before I close the browser. That works.


Btw, I still don't see a 12 to 24 hour option in the Settings. We have 24 hour days over here and not two 12-hour halves. I'll just never learn that am/pm-thingy.

It's alphabetical. AM comes first during the day, PM comes after. That only took me three years of living here to figure out... I set all clocks to the 24-hour version whenever I can.
