Is that a sad face for GIPHY support or for turning it off?

 

[Grey Havoc]

Turning it off.

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

Well, we can have a poll vote or something

Two new features in action - Article post type and Search Forums.



Article Post

Search Forums could be interesting. Could allow topics to be viewed in multiple places.

Could solve the problem of, "where do I put this?"

So anyone interested in testing?

It's been upgraded to Release Candidate 2, looking very close to finished.

Oh no, no GIF please. It clutters the forum and makes it, somewhat, look "less serious". I think it is a plague that will really do a lot of harm.

Boy at the back of the class hesitantly raises a hand..

I would volunteer, but my schedule is a bit packed for the next week or two. Sorry!

More on the GIF issue.

I like this forum because it is packed full with pictures, 3-views, drawings of aircraft. Throwing stupid GIF / memes into that visual background would be a disaster.
Plus GIF > memes and those have definitively taken a nasty turn those days (Pepe the fucking frog, bugaloos hawaian siliness, and all the right-wing garbage).

Test Forum updated to Xenforo 2.2 Final.

I'm going to plan for the forum upgraded in a week or two.

Below - see the similar threads feature when posting a new thread. I think this could be really handy.

I'm pretty sure I agree at this stage.

If you have been given access to the test site, please make posts and replies etc. Test out the new post editor, different types of articles etc.
The data will be blown away, so you don't have to make any sense

And the reason the ignore feature was invented. Ta-ta.

 

[Archibald]

Ah, forgot we have some supporters of that stuff here... indeed, the ignore function is useful...

 

[yasotay]

Have to agree with the option for ignore function. Can see "GIF wars" and the like consuming threads.
