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.

Ah yes oft course this very Bad hidden something ...I am talking about this <img>

Ah ...yes ...indeed, that was a good version of the list. And the games in it were commented on quite a bit. It was useful to know if a obscure release was good or not too

Something on those lines for 3DS releases is what you would be looking for right? ...that would not be half bad

Hosting company is having network issues. Issue is temporary.

Oh. It was pretty smooth at first, so I thought it was a problem on my end. Internet or the browser.

While the majority of responders don't like it, there are a few people who've stated they do like it.

To be fair, the responders may just be a loud minority.

That's why I specified "responders", and didn't just say "the majority".

I'm pretty sure this version has gotten the most discussion of any other change, but at the same time, I think the vast majority is at least simply okay with it. For all the people that say they hate it, there are just as many people that either think it's okay (not really like or dislike) or simply like it. Once Tapatalk comes back, that will basically be that in terms of about 50% of the people who have issues with the change, and even then, it was more a technical issue than the layout itself due to their older mobile tech or lacking data speed.

I'd say this is definitely the result of a loud minority more than anything in terms of the volume of hate. Hell, if people got the font change they wanted, that would probably get rid of about another 25% of the complaints lol

 

[Maxtram]

at first this change got me by surprise but i like the style and i can see a lot of info on the front page, i dont see any problem with this update of style and in the posts is pretty much the same

 

[nryn99]

I like the change, most of it.
My first complaint would be the quick links for messages, notification and filetrip. It looks really old.

Those are a work in progress. Costello is trying to get a free solution (which is exactly why those icons look like they're from 2006), and it's taking time. Some GBAtemp members have taken the design initiative, although I don't know if there is any kind of ETA on when we can expect new icons.

What connection do you have? It's instantaneous for me.[/QUOTE]

i got 4mb connection

yo this website is slower then the old one fix the damn website i got 4mb connection every single web opens instant but this website takes to much time to load or reply.

Remember not to double post (edit the post instead).

Oh alright, I've got a 250 Mb connection and I haven't noticed a single slowdown. Maybe I'm just lucky though, and get a fast response from the server.

 

[Nathan Drake]

i am dumb dumb

Having browsed V4 while my internet was effectively less than 1Mb while still managing to do stuff (just kinda slowly), I can safely say that I am positive the front page is loading even faster now. You were either browsing when the site was being worked on, or you're just not connecting to the server all that well. Either way, I don't think V5 is at fault. Rather, the timing simply lined up that way.

 

[KingVamp]

Is this new? You can see your edit history, can you delete them?

 

[ProtoKun7]

I seem to recall seeing edit history before in some form, but it's been a while anyway. There might well be an update on that.

Actually, this does seem new.

 

[Cyan]

edit history was there on v4 but for moderators only.
Now users have access to their edit history too.
