MacRumors Forum Upgrade - Xenforo 2.1

[arn]

Hi,

That took a lot longer than expected. We ran into some issues... which happens. But we're finally back up and running. There are still a lot of little issues that we're still dealing with. Please let me know if there's anything bad.

A few obvious things:

- No Spy
- Ignore Forums is coming back
- Wiki should work
- Dark mode should auto detect
- Emoji support 🎉
- More embed support, such as tweets:

I'm sure there's more, but still putting out fires...

I used History all the time in the old forums. I can't find it anywhere.

Buttery smooth. Thanks for all you do.

We'll have to add that back.

It's going to take a while to get used to this...

Well this is different...

Ok so the forums used to be color coded, easier to find things, can that come back.

yes... I think that got lost somewhere in the upgrade.

Also quick post reply is not working.

At least all data transferred smoothly. That’s a big one.

Auto system dark mode in safari! Loving it. Works great.



Only sad part. No Tapatalk is working, which is sort of sad since I count on it for notifications lol. But the web interface is dope now

Quick reply seems to work for me. What are you seeing?

I mean when you post a reply in succession. It use to merge. I guess that is what it's called post merge.

It may have been a rocky rollout, but thanks MR (arn) for the service you provide.

 

[redheeler]

Dark mode looks great!

I'll poke around, see what else isn't working.

Do regular emojis work now?🧐🤪🤯

 

[rocknblogger]

@arn The dark mode is awesome!! I read macrumors quite a bit in the evening and now it’s so much easier on my eyes. Thank you 🙏🏻

 

[MacNut]

Can the sticky thread fonts be bolded?

Or was it always like that.

 

[redheeler]

Looks like they do! 👏

Reassessing, as in if it’s worth it to bring it back?
