MacRumors Forum Upgrade - Xenforo 2.1

[arn]

Seems faster, but I do miss the product icons and the layout of the forum sub sections before. Found it much easier to navigate than scrolling and reading lists. And where is the dark mode option for the forum people are referencing? Or are they referring to iOS 13’s feature?

Ya the forum index still has was work to be done.

Dark mode is automatic if your iOS 13 is set to it

"Thread Starter" is missing.

"Thread Starter" is missing.

Look closer. It's simply an icon now.

Why no Tapatalk support any more?

I hope you will restore it ASAP.

Tapatalk should be functional again.

Great update. Going to take a bit to adjust the eyes more, but I like having the most recent thread across all areas on the forum list.

Bookmarks will be handy.

BBCode Table support is so cool too!

Are we supposed to have edit buttons on everybody's posts in wiki threads?

 

[swamyg1]

I preferred the old version.

Morning!

Small little alignment issue with the page before you log in on my XS.

Once logged in it appears to correct itself.

Still can’t “like” your own posts though; someone’s gonna be upset. 😉

arn handled it.... after a phone call at 3 a.m. from the "someone"...
Starting from today there is a hidden, separate Gutwrench post like-icon in the upper left corner.
Additionally, all MR members receive a notification after each post and the cursor will automatically jump to the hidden like-icon.

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...

Same software, newer version. They stopped supporting the old one and this one has fancy new emoji features

Unless I missed it I can’t find a a way to mark only one forum (or sub-forum in the case of “Marketplace”) as “Read” any more. Looks like it’s mark all forums or none now (previously you were offered the choice of marking just the forum or sub forum you were currently in). This severely hampers ones ability to pop in, read a forum or two, mark them as read as you go, then leave and come back a while later to pick up where you left off. Hope that made sense.

Looks like you can

I don't like the fact that user join dates are not continuously viewable.

Looking good so far, do I need iOS 13 to get dark mode on here?

There’s a theme selector at the very bottom of page so you can pick it manually.

I do have one request. Is their anyway to change how the forum link works at the top of the page?
previously clicking that took us back to the main forum page. Now it pulls up a menu.

Few questions:

1) Is there no print mode that allows us to have 40 (or more) posts on a single page, would make looking at threads much easier

2) Is infinite scrolling on the iPhone mandatory as it is annoying

3) Is there a way of minimising polls on a thread when viewing it on the desktop.

Many Thanks

It's a really nice refresh, well done 👍
