GBAtemp V5 is online!

Dear Tempers,

The GBAtemp Team is happy to present the Fifth version of GBAtemp (this isn't even its final form!). TJ and I have been working on it for months and it's finally ready for you to use. There are tons of changes so I will only highlight the biggest ones, and you'll discover the rest by yourself over time.

A new homepage
We have created a brand new customizable and modern homepage. Its layout can be adjusted to fit your personal preference - move your mouse over the "Home" menu item and click "Customize your portal" to make your changes.

New site skin
We have updated the site and forum skin to look more modern with new colors and fonts. Both skins have been updated (light & dark). We are still working out the kinks, we are aware of a few minor issues, not everything's perfect yet but in time we'll get there!

Mobile friendly browsing
Finally you can browse GBAtemp on your mobile devices... without Tapatalk! Our new skin is fully responsive, just try it, it looks fantastic! All site features are supported, including the dark theme.

Ask GBAtemp!
If you have been around long enough you already know what this is. But for the others: Ask GBAtemp is a place where you can ask simple questions and get direct answers, in a similar manner to Yahoo Answers. There are already thousands of questions back from a few years ago, and it's now time to get back at it! Go ahead and ask your questions if you've got any.

Board upgrade
We have updated our forum software to the latest version, and this brings a lot of improvements on all fronts. The biggest and most noticeable improvements are:
- a new message editor supporting image paste and drag & drop
- watching a forum to get notifications when new posts are made
- multi-quote and selective quoting
- thread-wide bans... whoops, this is going to come in handy for the mod team
- online status indicator on avatars

We hope you will enjoy browsing the new and improved GBAtemp. Feel free to reply to this thread to give us feedback. Many thanks to tj_cool for doing most of the work!

@Costello I think i found a bug, can you see in my screenshot is says "thank you for white listing GBAtemp on your ad blocker".. should they be like an ad they?

>Has Ad Block
>Temp says thanks for not using it
It doesn't work so well lol

Maybe they decided that going passive aggressive would be more effective :tpi:

It lost quite a few useful things IMO, (mostly the expanded Recent Threads block)
Not really sure what you mean by this.
We still have no spoiler button :hateit:
Eh?

I like this new look more than the previous one! Nice job :yaysp: :wub:

Edit: and cool new emotes too :vul1::vul2::yayu::bortz:
We haven't added any new smilies.

I was redirected to the admin log in... I don't think that's quite right...

Where did you get that? (What page/link)?

thread banning? That isn't gonna go so well. I can see some mods banning people from a topic when their opinion differs from theirs.
Moderators have had the ability to lock people out of threads for a long time now.

I saw news on gbatemp and surprise me due to different designs. I remember saw gbatemp was on https, right now not https anymore, because not secure to protect all users on internet. Admin better need to put https back on default setting to prevent against hackers try to broke in security of website without secure.

I remember I saw news from gbatemp, all users accounts and passwords was stolen by hackers. Admin did apply https instead of http to protect all users. Did anyone remember? Not too long time ago.
What do you mean? We still have https, I'm on it right now.

So compacted.Not sure if that's bad or good. EOF tab is back. Looks "cartoonish", but I like it and it is better for my mobiles. It has "pop". Yeah, don't like the name up top following you either.

Full bug report. Don't know if it can be replicated.
  1. I went to customise the front page.
  2. Whilst on that page, I logged into GBAtemp on my mobile.
  3. Changed things around on my front page and hit save.
  4. It said I needed to be logged in.
  5. Followed instructions on the page (I can't remember what they were).
  6. Dumped me to the admin login page. (Apparently I don't have admin privileges...)
Anyway, that's what I did, probably not relocatable, maybe the cookies for logging in expired because I don't think that the forum logs out any multiple logins, but I think that's what caused it.

Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot. On v4 though, if you put the Recent Threads block in the main column (which I think was Right? Left was like 1/3, right 2/3, then there was a sidebar), it expanded to look more like the list of threads when you're in a subforum. It looked like a nice little table with the avatar of the OP, view count, post count, thread date etc. None of those additional things were THAT useful, but it was just much nicer to look at like that.

:wub: thanks Costello! Love the new design being finally out of closed testing. Mobile is clearly better, hopefully most users start to see the update benefits here ;)
