Lol my guides are so mashed up: https://beta.bitcointalk.org/threads/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABI7IQ/posts

Font size command has changed which seems weird - every previous instance has pt but now it rejects pt.
Viewable width is ~60% of what it was.
Anchor command has gone.
Table commands seem the same but not working.
Thread and post numbering has changed from numerical to alpha which makes it very hard to tell chronological order and prevents easily swapping between versions.
Search seems to be doing nothing.
Very little user stats or information.
No post history of users.

I was trying to navigate to my Manufacturer trustworthiness guide but its probably page 20 by now and can't get there via link, history or changing URLs.

I just find the new forum look awful. The old one was unique.

The look doesn't matter that much, the functionality does. AFAIK there will be more themes/this one won't be default (?). I dislike the current one as well.

So new functionalities are coming ? What about translations of the menus, the buttons etc. ? That would be something I would love and to which I could contribute. If a "retro" theme, like this one is available, I won't have any regret to switch to the new forum software. Also, a little functionality that I would like would be that you would get PMs from the forum when you someone replies to a thread you marked, as a kind of notification+, but maybe all this is off-topic and there's a dedicated thread to functionality suggestions.

Good to know.

Is there a buglist being maintained somewhere? To check if I'm not reporting something that's already known.

I'm not sure whether there is one outside of Github.

What is the security risk of transferring PMs over? I would think allowing people to import the PMs into the new forum would cause additional risks as PMs might be able to be faked, ect

It just makes me extremely nervous to transfer this huge chunk of very-private data from this extremely-battle-hardened software onto new software.

Ah, this was unexpectedly great to hear. So exactly what is the plan once the beta finishes, a merge of everything (i.e. threads and posts made on both 'forums')?

Anything you post on beta.bitcointalk.org outside of Beta discussion will be deleted in the final merge.

tbh I don't mind you. The new software needs to be tested, you're just putting pressure on developers to fix certain aspects more quickly. I guess you'd be banned sooner or later anyway.

LOL. With NSFW images? He is spamming the same image in other thread as well.

a rules about post restriction for a newbie should being enacted even it's still beta because those pictures really hurt my eyes,or atleast, make the image appear as a link,the new forum have unlimited space for a post didn't it?

Yeah, I noticed that there is no character limit in the new forum software.
This thread have more than 120k characters. (https://beta.bitcointalk.org/threads/NVhXrI8BScC4kNAl5BRX0A/posts)

Post limitations might have been overlooked but people like him make it seem like it isn't so trivial.

LOL. Please delete your NSFW post in from this thread. I reported it, but I guess no mods is active in that forum.

They(mods) are pretty active in that forum as well ATM , I'd guess. However, the best thing you can do (IMO) is to report 'em(the post with their respective link) to a mod in this forum via PM & it'll be fine as well.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Dude, it is alright if you only put one NSFW image, but you stack 396 NSFW image in one post.

Did you count 'em? That's sarcastic.

This beta version is totally different with the current version I normally use. Get used to new look but that will be alright after using it for a period. Is this version almost so far it will replace the version now live.

The post count on the beta forum is wrong or not?!

The post count is currently 'bugged'. However, it isn't a big issue. It will be fixed.

Quote from: NLNico on April 19, 2016, 06:16:05 AM

Yeh it's that plus sign on the right bottom. That definitely needs to change IMO. Too many people confused by it (including me in beginning.) Just "traditional" reply button location seems much better.

I concur.

Indeed, pretty confusing. But i guess it's just a small learning curve
