Description: The changes to the forum just went in and I already have about a dozen guild members bitching about the new interface. I myself can't say I dig it as it's already bugged out several times (after clicking through a few tabs, all tabs stop responding, clear browser cache and reload browser... then get stuck in private thread view... fun stuff). Any way to roll individual sites (as opposed to the entire DKPSystem.com family of guild sites) back to the last version of the forums - through our Admin panel perhaps?
Official DKPSystem.com Comments No official comments yet

There is not a way to roll the individual sites back currently.

The changes are significant, and there will likely be some bugs that need to get worked out before they get completely sorted out, but we'll get them working properly.

Which browser are you using?

With all due respect Chops, from what I've seen so far - this new interface looks absolutely craptastic. I love DKP system, I've advertised and endorsed for DKP system. I'm not trying to be a flaming dick here - but seriously, this is not good.

Of course, I appreciate feedback. What part don't you like? Is it the whole thing? Have you tried some of the alternative layouts?

I'll have a more constructive list for you soon. Sorry to come off harsh - it was just real tough on the eyes right off the bat.

EDIT****

First and foremost - on the front page of ascendant.dkpsystem.com it's showing everything double. It's also ignoring the intended format, and when I click "Edit News Post" it yields no results.

Also, many alignment issues in the forums themselves.

Aye, that's a huge one right off the bat. Our front page is totally FUBAR. It won't let me edit to try to compensate even.

Try eliminating the [Title] and [subtitle] tags (replacing them with size tags). Those have had added menuing effects now, rather than just being sizes.



Fixed.



With all formats? Have you tried choosing alternative views yet?

Looks like I'm going to have to do a LOT of recoding. I've been using [title] and [subtitle] tags all along for highlighted, large font stuff to compensate for the lack of control over font size.

Even beyond that, on the front page, I can't edit the news articles to eliminate the [title] and [subtitle] tags - there is no effect when I click "Edits News Post"

Give it a shot now.

Edit News Post now working.

The change to the [title] and [subtitle] tags really, really hurts.

I'm sorry

But look at what they do now: http://www.dkpsystem.com/dynpage.php?id=13

They create a menu system at the top of a post for long stuff.

It's your system bro, if you say so heh.

Is there anyway to get some sort of font size control so we can actually use larger font for TITLES? Take a look at the Code of Conduct on our side menu to see what I mean. It would be great to have some sort of control over font sizes.

I've been using the [title] tags, well, as you see there. I'll adjust to it, but that's gonna be a helluva lotta of editting - which I can suck up np. It would be great to have some control over the aesthetics of article presentation (font size, etc...) ;P

Beyond that, I'll have more specifics regarding functionality over the next few days. We'll work with you on this one bro

Also - maybe if you changed the placing of the "Contens" box that occurs, that could be beneficial. Right now it just kind of seems to toss it at the top where ever. If you centered it at the top of the article and made sure there was a break after the contents box, could look better.

I can say one thing - it does seem much quicker now. I'm thinking ultimately it's nothing we can't adjust to.

It's actually had size control for a while now. But it's been added to the standard interface for quick creation. Look at the button to the far left (of the full post window), otherwise, you can just do [size=12] to get a 12pt font, or [size=36] to get a 36 point font.




Thanks mate. I know, this is a huge change and one that was unquestionably going to bring out bugs when exposed to the world at large. But over the next day or so, we'll get them ironed out.

--

It places it at the upper left, and wraps the content around it. There's always room to move that stuff around anyways.

This is what I'm talking about

OK Chops, I owe you a sincere apology. No doubt it's going to take some work to adjust to these changes, but after doing some more clicking, checking, and changing - I do believe these changes may very well be a significant improvement. Nice work!

Thanks mate.

Here's a suggestion for you, too, for the layout.

Tweak your CSS rules at the "tabs" section to this setting:

/* The following are the rules for tabs */
div.tabrow{float:left;width:100%;padding-top:5px;}
ul.tabrow, ul.tabrow li{list-style-type:none !important;margin:0 !important;padding:0 !important}
ul.tabrow{margin-left:10px;}
ul.tabrow li{list-style-image:none;float:left;margin-right: 3px;text-align:center;font-size:inherit}
ul.tabrow a{float:left;width:8em !important;padding: 5px 0;background-color:#3b1917;}
ul.tabrow a:hover {background:#bd8049;color:#ffffff}
ul.tabrow li.selected a,ul.tabrow li.selected a:hover {background-color:#643227;color:#ffffff}

One thing that's really bugging me, though it's minor in the gran scheme of things, is that the galleries are stretching the main frame WAY beyond it's limits. This wasn't happening to this degree before. Even with a 22" monitor, it stretches WAY out.
