Re: New Forums! (this is fine...)
New forum is very new...
Teddy does not trust this automatically.
I trust this Yumemei way more than Miho, of course, but this is suspiciously new...

Looks very good so far. Many thanks to all involved who put such hard work into the migration.
My avatar seems to have migrated correctly, and reconstructing my sig should be easy once all the links on archive.forums.megatokyo.com have been redone.
Thanks again!
EDIT: Or I could just fix my sig myself

W00t! I'm going to have to fix my sig as well of course, once the links are fixed back to the Archive.
Speaking of which is there any reason the Archive isn't going to be named The Necr0wombicon? I mean it seems like the most obvious name to me: a massive repository of dark and dangerous knowledge, that can summon spirits of the past (and Miho if you're "lucky")

New forum smell is the smell of coders. Time to start giving the smell of forumites.
Re: New Forums! (this is fine...)
Shiny. No quick reply, though?
Re: New Forums! (this is fine...)
Looks good. Feels good. The view seems 'closer', and a bit more chibi?
Re: New Forums! (this is fine...)
Much strangeness. Every link on the archived forums leads back here. And I can't see strip [1480].
Dammit! Miho broke the internet again!

New forums are very nice... And thankfully not Largo nice... In fact with the Boo logo at the top, I would wager that posting here is a post in good conscience...
Re: New Forums! (this is fine...)
The server address has been changed but the links on all its pages haven't been changed yet. In the meantime you need to copy a given link, paste it in a new browser tab or window, and then manually change "forums.megatokyo.com" to "archive.forums.megatokyo.com" (and in some cases change the "https://" back to "http://"). That won't help with things like the "Log In" button (javascript?) that don't generate copyable links, so for now we can't actually log into the archived forums, but most of it should at least be readable.
It's still on Patreon and hasn't been posted at the main site yet. Should be up tomorrow.And I can't see strip [1480].
Re: New Forums! (this is fine...)
New forums finally allow new accounts! Huzzah! I'm so happy this works now!

Re: New Forums! (this is fine...)
The issues with the old forum now appear to be fixed. The links work, and it's locked down so people can't add new posts. Many thanks to klange for figuring that all out.

Thanks! Saves a lot of "back and forth"......DarkMorford wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2017 10:04 pmOkay, I think I got it. Both the logo image and the "MegaTokyo" breadcrumb link should open the main page in a new tab (or a new window, if that's how your browser is set up).paarfi wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2017 8:07 pmThat's not quite as simple, but he's going to look into it. Thanks for the suggestions.Yl33 D4 N00b wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2017 7:37 pmIf Darkmorford would rig it so it will open up in a new tab, it would be perfect. Not trying to bitch, just suggesting a tweak. I appreciate everyone's efforts here; you've kept a lot of features of the old site, in a sweet looking new package.

On the plus side, all warning boxes are gone... everybody gets a clean slate.
Everyone except foul Miho, of course!
We can have friends and foes? I can only think of one foe.

Question:
Is it possible to do stuff like embed videos or tweets?

Re: New Forums! (this is fine...)
This should be fixed, though it looks like it's using the default blue skin instead of the Megatokyo grays. Gonna need to look into that.
Sort of, and no, at least for the time being. phpBB doesn't support this natively, and I'm not familiar enough with how it works to hook in a JavaScript API like Twitter's oEmbed. Videos will have to be on a site-by-site basis; it looks like it'll be easy enough to add a BBCode tag that works with youtu.be style links, but I haven't done the research into any other sites at this time.Skulkraken wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2017 10:25 amQuestion:

Good job.
I had lost the use of my old account on the forums and became a lurker (reading the comic since ~100 or so).
Nice to be back.
