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!

 

[PolloDiablo]

I made a temporary Chrome-only black theme that you can download here (if you have the Stylebot extension). Hopefully it can hold you over until a permanent solution can be made.

thanks! the theme looks really good

I just noticed that feature to search for members is missing.

 

[Lurker2]

Well regular users cannot edit polls.

Its really tough to distinguish between posts. The alternating gray and white is nice, but it need to be upped a little or something. Also i am on the verge of turning off sigs, cause text ones look hidious on this board.

If it already has not been mentioned in this thread, the "Top" button. I have only found that feature on this forum. None of the other forums that I visit have a "top" button and I've always felt that other forums were inferior because of that single little feature.

For now, just press Home on your keyboard to go to the top.

Actually, there is a "Top" link. It's at the very bottom of the page, to the right, next to "contact us" and "home".

Yeah, that kinda sucks compared to the "top" button that was at every post. And fuck the "Home" button on my keyboard. The feature was made for those that prefer to use the mouse, and I am one of them in this situation.

the birthday window is missing.

o.O
Not again......

I have been away every bloody day when it was my birthday, wanted to see it on the site at least this year....

(hmmm I guess I'll make myself a updated sig )

Oh, I didn't realize there used to be a Top button on every post, my bad.

A quick question - we used to have a nifty little feature that could help the user predict whether it's time to post or should he/she wait a little bit, namely, the list of users browsing a given thread, plus their rank and status (typing a reply in italics, browsing in normal letters). Will we be seeing a come-back of that feature? I find it quite indispensible and I can't seem to "find" it in this revision of the forums.

I'd also like to ask whether the Blogs from the old forum are importable in any shape or form?

Actually nevermind, it looks like there's a Top link next to the Report link under each post. Maybe it was just added...?

I remember reading on IRC that they'd come back eventually, but that they're not the first item on their todo list right now.

That "Top" button had been there for a number of years... or at least as far back as I can remember. It is a great tiny feature that saved me many seconds of scrolling on each thread.

What I meant to say is that there also is a Top button on the new forum, it's right next to the Report button. Don't you see it ?

Po...tatoes!
But seriously, it's good to be back

I was about to say that.

There's no more mobile theme.

This so much, it costs a hell lot of data to load the temp T_T I ain't bothered by it, but it might bother others since some people don't have 1GB every month to spend on mobile Internet.

I think it is the best to work on this first(or at least work on it as soon as possible), it might even make the temp faster for people with slow Internet(on school on the computers I use the compact theme to make the websites load faster)

I don't want to sound egoistic by making this comment, but I think it is better for most of us if GBAtemp had a mobile theme once again.

Thanks!

I must say I rather like the simplicity of the "show offline" option rather than logging in as "private"
however
I've noticed that in the import process from the previous software all those that were set to "private" now have their profiles private.
I'm sure it's too late to fix now but a lot of the users that used to set their status to private were the more interesting ones to go in and see what post they had been making.

umm ... wait ... nevermind.

 

[retroben]

I am the same retroben from cheats.gbatemp that made a lot of codes for Sonic Classic Collection and some other great games.

Not really a "feature" but,when will we see cheats.gbatemp up and running again?

Cuz I have some JUICY new codes for sm64ds and Sonic Classic Collection.

I have created a port of the Dark Theme made by Ace for Stylish. The link can be found here: http://userstyles.org/styles/77518/gbatemp-v4-dark?r=1351635849 Main benefits include:
-Works in Firefox
-Edited some stuff that wasn't in the original
-Most stuff should be darkified except Control Panel and ads. But for regular forum browsing everything should be okay. Link can be found at http://userstyles.org/styles/77518/gbatemp-v4-dark?r=1351635849.
