GBAtemp v4: powered by XenForo

[Rydian]

I won't pretend I'm some kind of expert on web development, but I think I know what I'm talking about. Of course, removing IPB removes all security issues related to IPB specifically, but I can imagine that because of the time pressure, the new setup might still contain some other weaknesses. Especially if some code was written specifically for the site and was not part of XenForo or any other software package, the possibility of errors being in there exists.

I don't mean to be overly negative, but the fact of the matter is that GBAtemp has only recently been hacked because of security issues; I think it's only fair to be critical of their security policy now.

The majority of custom features are not here right now because they'd need to be remade to be safe. Blogs? On hold. Wiki? On hold. Portal categories? On hold. I can't say anything about the mag staff controls now, but they looked rather custom on the old system too, and mag staff is likely using a different input system.

Welcome back! I do have one question: Doesn't the change in forum software now break any links to old threads? Also, are the medals gone for good?

Costello/Tj said they wrote up a redirection script (I'm assuming mod_rewrite or the like) to make old links point to new threads properly.

Does the IRC server and channel need to be remade?

Yay Temp is back again
Prefer the old look, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. New features sound awesome.
Can't access the site from phone though (using Opera Mini). Says my IP is blocked

I wish that it would be quicker to add funds to my paypal to donate :/

Nice to see you back, and the new forum looks amazing, good job.

We're back! Hello people!

 

[shakirmoledina]

i seem to notice that the tooltip on the homepage seems to stretch the window horizontally and add a scroll bar.
also, when quick replying, the page shows the current page i am on yet the contents seem to be of the last page.

Did u buy this package? oh the dedication.
Also the content does not change after i edit unless i refresh the page.

I think for me the most important feature is notifications for quotes and new threads etc.

Thanks and remember what blackbox says:
Do it faster, makes you better! Do it harder, make us stronger!
Take that hackers!

Nice work bringing the temp back! I thought I was going to have to wait a year (Like the PSN hack!)

Message to the hackers:

WE ARE THE REAL HACKERS! TRY TO GET US NOW!

Message to the staff of this site:

Thanks for all your hard work!

Finally GBATemp is back up, kudos to our Admins and mods

 

[Densetsu]

It's great to be back!

I don't mind the new skin at all. In fact, I kind of like it, and I'm sure that in time I'll grow to love it.

Thanks Costello and everyone else who worked to resurrect this site over the past several days!

Nice to be back.

Almost everything looks off for now. Doesn't feel like my old home.
Well, it takes time to get used to.

Though one thing is it feels faster to get around stuff.

Dunno if this has been mentioned in this thread or elsewhere but all of a sudden I am getting emails anytime someone posts in a thread I have ever posted in. How do I stop this? I have scoured the settings pages and can't find anything.

 

[WiiUBricker]

I have two followers. That must be a mistake.

 

[Just Another Gamer]

Its good to be back but everything just seems a bit off for me and slightly too big but i'm sure that can be changed with some new themes and stuff later on.

 

[elisherer]

Great that you're back!!!
1. Is there a "compact" mode like google has? the design is very large.
2. Will there going to be a support for animated gifs like the last forum?

EDIT: You can see the animated gif on the "profile" page.

EDIT2: The edit window looks awesome!

 

[Just Another Gamer]

I would love a more compact GBATemp like it was before just improved on like it is now.

I am glad to see everything back and running again!
I missed this site the week is down
