FEEDBACK ON NEW FORUM SOFTWARE

Did something just change with the forums? They look completely different and I can't tell what reply is new?

Relax and give us some time.

It's going to be a work in process. Might take me the weekend to get it styled right, but the bones are there.

Thanks, Rick!

It's pretty slick. I like the home page with all the current news links and forum posts in one place.

Yeah I'm liking the new look. The Leafs have been overhauled by Chundin and now the message board follows suit!

If at all possible it would be really cool to have a dark mode switch.

Gotta put on shades to post

I think it's pretty good but I think the header should only appear if you scroll back up. I will echo a dark mode feature.

I miss the dark mode as well. Also can't seem to find the unread posts feature.

You can get to a dark mode by going to your account "preferences" and changing the forum "design" from "TMLToday Design" to the "Default Style". Then underneath that option the "style variation" drop down menu shows up and you can choose dark mode there. At least it's a work around for now.

No rush on this, as I know the configs and tweaking and feedback handling takes a good chunk of time and focus and testing.

FYI: I do not have the Forum "Design" setting available, so I assume it's tied up in the security roles.

Under Account > Preferences, I can only see:

• Time zone
• Email Options
• Content Options
• Privacy Options
• Push Notifications

and the whole Receive a notification when someone... section of checkboxes (Alert, Push)

On the forum main page, in the tmlfans banner (beneath the menu), there are two buttons: New Posts and Post Thread.

New Posts takes me to https://www.tmlfans.com/community/whats-new/posts/221097/
which might be what you're looking for?

There is also another mini menu banner (on desktop) that has a series of buttons, one of which is What's New (same base page)

What's new

www.tmlfans.com

I have no idea of which page that mini menu banner showed up in, but it had a bunch of good shortcuts. Edit: oh I see it now, it shows up if you wandered into the What's New page. The forum front-pages and sub-forum pages have a separate template from the 'search result' pages.

I never spent much time on the true tmlfans site (strictly forums previously), but I'm liking the way the main site looks!

That's a weird one. Can't seem to find anything that would toggle that for certain user groups.

Out of curiosity what happens if you go here: https://tmltoday.com/community/misc/style

Figured as much. I'll turn off my dark mode in solidarity for now.
