Major forum overhaul 24-May-2017

Post by A§H»Crash »

I stayed up all night and updated our forums, which had been out of date since 2012. We were behind on almost 5 years of updates!

There's a lot of new features...
[media]stuff here[/media] is the all-encompassing media BBcode now. Put your youtube, Facebook, spotify, CNN news, whatever links here, and if compatible, it will render it awesomely on the forums.
People can now be represented by their country flags!
beautiful new design and interface!
notifications for when you are quoted in a post, you get a reply to your thread, or you receive a PM
american english, informal spanish, and informal dutch are now options on the board in addition to british english
there's a "translate" button at the top of the forums now for our spanish speaking users!

and some missing ones that I hope to bring back soon:
Applications to the clan don't work, I'll fix that soon.
The Halo admin posting bot is down, and I have to come up with another fix for that soon too.
the aesthetics and design are a bit weird/ugly in some places. will fix.

Please bear with me and reply here with anything you notice amiss.

Thanks for your patience!

Looks a lot different than before but at least it doesn't look like utter crap like other forums that people run. Great job crash.

Started to freak out a bit when I couldn't find the 'New Posts' link cause that's what I use for 98% of my forum browsing. Took me a whole 30 seconds to find where it was hidden.

Thanks all. The job is only about half done, but the most important half of it is done. A lot more improvements will come. I'll post a full overview of them later.

This is one of the cool improvements. There is a new load of features to customize forum posts with BBcodes. You could practically write a novel with the forums now and make it look so great!

Text scrolls!
Text gradients and flashes!
Text is highlighted. Text glows.
Math formulas thanks to super and subscripts! a2+b2=c2
etc.
