*****Board Upgrades finished. Feedback/issues

It was a bit of a premature celebration but an upgrade I have planned later in the week might help also.

Ok, I was going to reply with a gif and am now stuck in @Weezer -land. Used to be I could just right click a gif on a Google search and copy/paste into my response. Now that results in the paste file being a .png file instead so no giffy magic occurs.

Please listen......

@Freak what table options do you have enabled?

Would you entertain the "collapse" option, or allow us to type it in if we want our tables to not be full width?


Edit: that might be an add-on, but the question still stands, if that's possible.

I’ll have to look into it at some point.

Oddly that attachment you uploaded doesn’t work when I click it.

May be an issue with png files specifically. You can always try copying the link to the image and embed it that way. Maybe ask @Weezer what he figured out.

So, I’ve tried just copying and pasting GIFs and that didn’t work, said it was too large after uploading. I’ve tried using the picture button and adding it there to upload, no dice. Also just tried just pasting the URL like below, and no dice. I do get a loading message for a moment once the post is submitted, but then just shows the URL.


Any other recommendations? I’m on Safari on an IPhone.

Edit: So, it seems to only be Tenor gifs. Just pasted a GIPHY URL and it worked just fine. See below:

Yeah Tenor is 💩. Giphy is best.

If someone quotes a person that I have "ignored", it used to just show the response. Now, it's showing that they quoted someone I ignored. I'd rather just see nothing, only the response. Hope that makes sense.

You'll notice some differences when you log in today. There are lots of updates in the new board software. Things are going to look a little different and (hopefully) perform a little better.

Unfortunately, the updated screwed with the site design/theme (hence the reason for delaying the update until the last minute before game week), and while I have fixed most of it, there are some things I still need to update. Mostly subtle color/item background fixes. You might see some light bluish backgrounds that look out of place, but I'll get to it. I had to redo both our light and dark themes and also redo all of our mobile customizations.

If you notice something that doesn't work, have issues, or get errors, let me know in this thread.

If you find a cool new feature, that you think ads to the experience, post here and let others know about it.


I'm going to make a list of some of the color fixes that are needed and if you notice others (or anything else that looks "off"), let me know. And be sure to tell me if you're using the light skin/dark skin and whether you're using mobile.

Speaking of dark mode, you may need to re-select it from the styles link at the bottom of the page.

Light Theme.
1. non-selected page numbers above and below the thread list have a bluish hue.
2. hovering over read alerts in the dropdown menu is bluish
3. the tool bar in the reply box is bluish
4. There's a bluish bar at the bottom of the post new thread.
5. some of the orange buttons are some weird Texas orange when hovering over them.
6. Background of the new embedded text links is blue.
7. The like icon is blue. Should be orange. Anyone good at working with image "sprites"? lol

Dark Theme Mobile.
1. Alert dropdown background is a bright color.
Really like the update. If I can make one suggestion for the future… Can there be an icon for a “Nited Post” ? I think that sort of addition could really take Volnation from #10 to #1 . 👍

Has there been an update to the board? Just My system? When I cllicked on ALERTS instead of it saying a post is Liked, it says someoe REACTED to it and at the end indicates it was liked. Are there going to be additional reaction options? I have asked for that in the past so one could give an UNLIKE to a post rather than having to reply and create another line of data. I hate the dilemma when I see a post worthy of challenge but hating to fill up the board that way when a thumbs down COULD do.

Thanks in advance.

It's part of Volnation's merger with Saturday Down South
