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 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. ^^

I mentioned it earlier on, I miss it, even if people were to lazy to cut out the bits they didnt need.

Also there is no wiki.

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.

You are a god amongst men. Thank you for your efforts! I'm actually a Firefox user, so this will come in handy

Actually, I think it does. It's just not in as obvious a place as in the old forum.
EDIT : ... as you can see from me under your post.

Oh, and I can't switch off the editor stuff and just see the code. It was useful sometimes (Like trying to fix my sig )

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).

Heh, well it's obvious I never used that... always getting ninja'd, or you shoving in a correction right before I post about the original.

It's somewhere in your profile settings now.

Sorry i can't find where the review section is...

Its coming soon along with blogs and other things like the wiki.

Okay, I updated the dark (more like grey but w/e) theme I made. It now changes the reply box as well as long as you're using the rich text editor, a few other minor fixes and posts are now alternating colors like on the normal theme. Spoilers are also readable without straining your eyes. Link can still be found over at http://userstyles.org/styles/77518/gbatemp-v4-dark?r=1351673894. Probably not the most efficient CSS, but hey, it works.

i miss how google, bing, and yahoo was in the online user list

 

[Densetsu]

Right now it seems that when you search a member's posts, it just shows you everything and you can't separate their regular posts from the topics they've created. It would be nice to be able to sort member content by "all content," "posts only" and "topics started" again.

It looks really nice, good work. But - The page "buttons" could get some work. It's kinda hard to see on which page you are.

 

[GameWinner]

I was gonna type how the "recent threads" doesn't show the board icons anymore. But that has been fixed so I'm good!
Now we just need the medals back.

You're right, I didn't think about that. Shouldn't be that hard to do, I'll edit it when I get home. Anyway maybe I should create a new thread for this after I do that instead of clutter up this thread

You can multiQuote if posts are on the same page (click on Reply on each messages you want to quote, it will be added to the quick reply at the bottom).

Missing/requesting feature:
It just needs to be restored when switching pages, like the "don't loose anything" feature when closing the tab. you could even start replying to the first quote, click the next "reply" and so on, and it will be kept until you post your message.


Edit:
Or maybe you are talking about nested quotes?
That's indeed something which I miss too, as like you see, I quoted you but we can't tell what you were talking about.

Another thing, when searching and checking the "display results as threads" box it doesn't show which threads do and don't have unread posts on them.
(I was hoping to use it as a workaround for the "my content" link but no dice.)

 

[The Minecrafter]

A few things:
For the "Recent Threads" on the sidebar, I kind of like the icons indicating what type of board it was in, whether it was in General Discussion, NDS, Wii,Off Topic on the main page ,...
I found that nice, so I could see what type of thread it was at a glance.

Thank you For bringing that feature back.

 

[Gahars]

I have a little bit of a nitpick.

Before the hack, I had my account set up so that when some replied to a thread I had posted in, I would immediately receive a message on my Gmail account to let me know. It was useful for keeping up with threads.

The new "Watched thread" system seems to be a bit fickle. Sometimes I'll receive email notifications, and sometimes I won't. Sometimes, I don't even receive alerts at all.

I know you guys have a lot on your plate, and it's only a minor problem. Thanks for all the good work!

 

[The Minecrafter]

Could we have a thread about each feature that is brought back, or a new feature that was added? I think it would be nice to be able to keep track of the changes, test out the new features as they come up, and give input on the new features that were added. I think that his could also help us get used to the new layout of the site.
