Forum UI Changes

[Superfluous J]

Loving the ability to hide signatures on a per-user basis (was that always there?)

Hating the need to on so many users due to ridiculously long signatures (definition of "ridiculously long": More than maybe 160 vertical pixels)

So then I could change my post to all complaint, instead of a love/hate post

Anyone have any clue what those small circular blue icons are on the bottom right of some users avatars? Stardust for example has a half filled in shield icon. Other users I have seen a “stop” hand.  Others have none at all.

Not sure where to post this (wouldn't be able to find the suitable topic anyway), but the forum is completely and totally broken. Is it so on your end? It's like there's no style, just text, massive bullet point lists and the default Chrome font.

The recent update is still causing some problems. I'm not seeing whatever it is you're describing, but I am seeing other weirdnesses. It's being worked on. 

Meanwhile, guys, please don't post unhelpful answers just to troll each other. Those posts have been removed.

Been seeing this on and off too today. imgur is even worse though. Starting to feel like some massive DDOS attacks going on or something.

Woah, the whole thing is bugging out.  Everybody's profile picture is duplicated...

I seem to be having page problems again...

Looks like none of the forum css is able to load for some reason.

Im seeing them too. The one with a shield i think indicates moderator (at least i think so, i see that on like vanamonde for example) and the stop hand i think indicates a member who is new (i think) and requires moderator approval. This is my theory.

Obligatory "that looks better than correct" post.

(I don't actually think it looks better, but it does not look all that worse)

@Bej Kerman, this is part of on-going work to get the latest version of the forum software running smoothly. Your question has been merged into the master thread.

Ah. I was on mobile at the time, and I guess "hover" is apparently impossible to emulate on a mobile device, lol.

[AlamoVampire]

On mobile as well. So hovering isnt possible lol

So, uhm. It's just me, or suddenly uploaded images are half the size of what they were before the whole reality shift in the forum?

If you click them they show bigger. Not sure the reasoning but it doesn't bother me.

... yeah, that's quite silly. Also, ruins most of my plans of publishing large format multi image presentations.

IPS: *annoys people by burning their eyes and wasting screenspace to cater to all the latest mobile 'responsive design' fads*

Also IPS: *includes attention-grabbing features that are physically impossible to use on mobile*

Huh. This must be why they are suddenly a different blue now.
