Its good to see the site back. Cant wait for all features to return. I am patient though.
 
It feels good to be back, I'm gonna have to get used to this new design.
 
Christ this new layout is going to take some getting used to.

And look:

EDIT: Also is the old blogs gone or does that need to be "ported?"
 
Although I'm just a lowly lurker I have to say you've handled this whole incident very gracefully. After 5 years of regular visits I can't imagine a world without GBAtemp. Cheers to you.
 
Heyya, welcome back :D
Aw, I liked the little thingie that followed you, where you could check for new
messages and posts (I dont know what it was but it was cool).
The new features are awesome and I must say I love the new
design specifically made for this, its really nice! Kudos.

I would like to ask if there is any really good, kind, rich user
to donate for me since im economically tight. I would appreciate it :)

Thanks for all the effort GBATemp staff!
 
First of all, thanks for handling this so swiftly and taking it seriously. It's good to see how many people are willing to invest time in a forum like this.

That said, I'd also like to make some critical remarks. First of all: shouldn't there be a system in place to make people change their passwords? Right now, I can just continue using my account without changing anything. This doesn't seem very secure. Secondly: I don't think the site becomes any more secure just by getting rid of all the code. Granted, some if it may have been insecure, but I'm sure that code which has been written over the last week is not better.

I hope that especially the second point isn't as big as a problem as I think it could be. Of course, I won't pretend to know what code you used and how safe it is; if it's all part of XenForo I'm sure it's robust.
 
Well, that hack was for the best it seems, at least now you're up to date in terms of security, and this is a good thing. Love the new design by the way.

Very glad to see you're back! I really really missed the 'temp to be honest.
I must say this new site/look will need some getting used to. I can't help but feel this hack is a real severe blow, and I don't think it's done any good for GBAtemp. Hopefully it won't happen again of course.

THANKS to everyone who helped getting the 'temp back so swiftly
 
Yay. Now's the time to once again get used to a new layout.

New features...
  • Post edit history is going to be great for all those times when I try to use nested lists and the post breaks on me.
  • Post saving, yayyyy, especially with me having even worse 'net service right now.
  • Live updates, does this mean I won't see a fake "new PM" notice in all the tabs if I happen to open 10 tabs while I have a PM? Guess I'll find out.
  • Quote collapsing, yeah huge quote chains can be an issue, we'll see how this works out.
Skin/Tweaks...
  • Could we get some more visible division between posts and their signatures? Things are kinda' flowing together. Not as much as on some other XF forums, but...
  • The giant colored bars for member groups seem a little jarring at first, but I suppose that's needed to point out to new users who exactly they're talking to.
  • I think the biggest stumbling block for me will be the inability to CTRL+Click the "reply" button to open a bunch of posts in new tabs to grab. A lot of things in this software override CTRL+Click (and other such shortcuts, like the middle mouse button), which I've always found annoying, meaning I need to resort to the right-click menu to open a link in a new tab. I don't know what else does this specifically, but I think a lot would.
  • Quotes need to keep their original formatting, the forum software is making them italicized (or emphasized, for you Web 3.0™ guys). This screws up the use of italics for emphasis in quoted posts.
  • Glad to see the fancy editor can be toggled in the settings. With the previous system the fancy editor kept re-enabling it's ugly ass on me randomly, this way it should stay off.

*continues being an ass anyways*

Secondly: I don't think the site becomes any more secure just by getting rid of all the code.
... do you even know how this kind of shit works? If the security issue was in IPB then it doesn't affect people not using IPB, if the security issue was in the OS,then formatting and installing the latest version (with the fix applied) gets rid of it, etc.
 
It's going to take a while to get used to this layout but its good to see you guys back!
