Official "Missing features" thread: we'll bring them back for you!

[Costello]

Post here anything that you find to be missing after the IPB to XenForo switch.
We'll progressively bring the features back to life.

Thank you everyone!

I got sick of that old favicon too so I took things into my own hands and DIYed one

But, but, the forum system modifies the favicon to show you alerts...

Oh yeah, clicking on a thread takes you to the first page, kinda annoying.

Sorry if this was mentioned already.

The data about the last post you viewed was not imported, so you need to view a thread on this system once for that to be stored. After that, clicking it brings you to the first unread post.

Unless you just wanted to jump to the last one... which I'd find annoying, as you can click the last page number to go there.

I'd like to see buttons for Edit, Delete, Reply, Warn, etc... again. A small aesthetic change like that can put a lot of flavor back into the forum.

Agreed! Having those things as just text links makes them hard to spot too.

actually, we had a cheat database here, cheats(dot)gbatemp(dot)net
but it's gone with the hack so maybe you could look into that?

The database itself was quite outdated, but the forums are the important thing.

If it hasn't been stated yet, Id like to have the mobile site back if possible.
Btw, I'm so thankful the site is back! Felt homeless for awhile.

i honestly wont go thru the whole thread, but in case it hasnt been mentioned, i think multi-quote is missing, unless i'm being stupid and cant find it. ^^

The Medals and my most used feature, the recent posts with tabs that can change between general posts, user submitted news and EOF.

Didn't go through the whole thread, but just the first couple pages. These may have already been suggested:

• Categories on the 'Recent Posts' bit on the homepage. (Before we had News, EoF, Blogs, etc which you could switch between)
• Bring back the blog section!
• Now I'm not so sure about this one, but I *think* a thread disappears from the side on the homepage if you've seen it already, which can prove to be a bit of an inconvenience if you're like me and revisit threads for the discussions.
• Tapatalk
• When visiting a thread from the sidebar on the homepage, it takes you to the first post.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Good luck with getting the site back together guys!

Got inspired by Snailface and made my own favicons too, currently in PNG but I can convert them to icons (.ico) with transparent backgrounds if anyone is interested.
Made some improvements to the second one.





Edit: the post images thing doesn't work when editing for me.

It would be nice if we were able to hide/remove the sidebar in the Forums index again (like on the Portal).

To quote myself.. Well, I know Costello got more important stuff to attend to at the moment, so I made a small Stylish style for those, who want to remove the sidebar in the Forums index, too. I hope it's ok to post it here and all.

Good to be back!

I wish to have the medals back and I don't like the following feature

 

[Issac]

Am I missing something in the preferences, or can the number of posts shown in a thread be changed? I really like to have ~50 post per page instead of 10...

 

[air2004]

I just got done working an 17 hour day and Im to tired to see if this was asked but ..... is the dark theme back yet ? and if so how do I turn it on ?

 

[air2004]

and thanks for comming back , I have really missed this place

 

[Jiehfeng]

Ok, I've got a number of problems:

1. The member title doesn't work. They say use a value of 50 characters or fewer. My member title needed: But there are so many of them. What a complete bother!

2. The spoilers don't work. Well, the title. When I type in the title for the spoiler, the title doesn't appear and three spoiler boxes appear in the post.

I need yo recover these problems as soon as possible.

 

[shakirmoledina]

i've noticed that the tooltip is causing the horizontal bar to appear as the screen is small (homepage).

 

[Bladexdsl]

dunno if already posted but the button that makes only a certain forum all read not the whole forum

 

[shoyrumaster11]

I don't think much is missing but for me, it's just the ease of use that I like on the old GBATemp V3+! But no need to worry! I changed my password and i'll become used to the new temp! And I agree, we should most definitely have a new design for good ol' tempy!

 

[Wizerzak]

Topics with unread messages should be bold.

Ah, I see, what I meant was in the 'What's New' section, but it seems that the threads won't show there if you've read them anyway which is annoying.

 

[tj_cool]

 

[Wizerzak]

Aha! Awesome thanks! Is there an option somewhere to enable that permanently?

 

[Jiehfeng]

Ah, I found a way to put titles to spoilers. There are new BB Codes: http://gbatemp.net/help/bb-codes
