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!

A discussion forum has been created to centralize discussions revolving around GBAtemp v5. Click here to access it! We have already created several thread about known issues.

Not used to change Cherry Pie? It'll get better if you stare at it for 5 minutes.

Fixed it

@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?

You cheeky bastard Fast, i knew something was going on around temp xd (Or that's how i felt about it lol)
Great work guys!
(But where's my shoutbox?)

You have to add it back in with the custom homepage

3 columns on the front page don't look good on a 4:3 monitor. Customizing it don't work. It would be good if I could get rid of that quick link tool bar on the left.

It's still there at the bottom I think.

I've realized that lol, and its on the homepage tabs too so no biggie. Thanks for the tip thou.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

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

And the filetrip "upload a file" (upper right corner on the screen) button gives me a blank screen.

EDIT: The "Help" tab that we had on the homepage is nowhere to find. Would be nice that you guys add the BB code tutorial from it in the Reviews tab.

 

[gamefan5]

Holy guacamole. I like the change. XD
Mmm... I wonder if double posts can auto merge tho...

 

[Xenon Hacks]

The site does look better but my only negatives are no spoiler button and the main page not fitting properly,too much blank space not being used. Where I put arrows the menus should either be extended,made larger, or spaced more.

 

[Ryukouki]

Just in time for E3

 

[MajinCubyan]

Just got on here on my phone, much much easier to browse now.

Not used to change @Cherry Pie? It'll get bettee if you stare at it for 5 minutes.

Dornit, since the new theme things look bigger than they were before. Sure it's useful for people who've retired and can't see very well but doubt they'd ever use this website.

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.

You have that little faith in the mods here? The only reason that would happen is asshole mods (which I'm pretty sure is not the case) or someone deserving it with constant thread spam/flaming/whatever the fuck.

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.

That'll be pretty useful in case a new Gateway hype/ spam thread comes up full of crap.

Another to have it say thanks for not adblocking... while blocking ads....
