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!

 

[Hyro-Sama]

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.

Costello will likely update this thread once they finish all the transferring, bug fixes, etc.

Dunno if this has been mentioned or not... but the want to buy/want to sell section would be great to bring back.

 

[pokefloote]

Agreed on the WTB/WTS sections...

Also, since Tapatalk is no longer usable with GBAtemp, could "ForumRunner" support be added? The android application claims to support Xenforo but searching for "gbatemp" turns up no results. It probably has to be added to their database somehow.

The trading forum is still there.

And tapatalk and/or forumrunner needs to be reinstalled

 

[gridatttack]

Pardon if this has already been mentioned, but I am noticing the online users thing, like users viewing a subforum and users viewing a thread at the bottom of the page is missing.

I hope cheats.gbatemp goes back online soon,I think it should be considered a missing feature from its downfall caused by the hacker attack.

For now,could I start a topic with my new codes for some ds games,if yes,which forum should I make this new topic in.

My gbatemp account got deleted. I've been a member since 2003 or so. s/n was geenlung like this new account I just made. I tried reseting p/w for my old account, but the e-mail I used to register wasn't found. You can check to see that I had several posts in the trading forum, which verifies that I had over 100 posts.

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.

Never mind, I figured it out. You can still sort member content by "all content" and "all threads" if you go to a member's userpage/profile, then click the "Information" tab.

It would be nice to have a refresh button on the sidebar instead of having to press F5 every time I want to update the Latest Threads box.

No accounts should have been deleted.
What was your old username?

 

[retroben]

Sorry about me posting again,but,any of the admins or mods please feel free to PM me when you get any updates regarding the cheat database forum (cheats.gbatemp) and when they are up and working again.

 

[pokefloote]

Bring back the ability to follow forum sections, please!
I really miss getting a new notification for each USN topic...

 

[osirisjem]

Love the new forum.

 

[shoyrumaster11]

I think we should add the Ask! feature back. I've missed it a whole lot! Even if I use it only for nostalgia right now!

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.

Aye, nested quotes is missing.

I miss viewing all the recent status updates.
(Unless, I'm the only weird one who reads all of them.)

 

[Maxternal]

A problem I see when using nested quotes is the way it hides them.
It's great that the huge quoting pyramid spams is gone but if it's going to hide only PART of the quote block it would be better if what it DOES show were from the person being directly quoted.
Right now it shows a little text from the oldest and probably most irrelevant quote in the pyramid and hides the rest until you click the link.

If I'm quoting someone, it's usually so what THEY said will be visible in my post, not what was said 5 quotes ago.

That said, the fact that the reply button NOW crops out previous quoted text all together is definitely an improvement.
