Landlord Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm all sorts of confused about the new layout. I guess that's just how it goes. Is there a way to view threads from the unread content section, but click them to where it takes you to the first unread post? I can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 We need to either put a character limit on someone's "Interests" or take that info off the info attached to their posts, because Hooked on Huskers' is WAY too long. 1 Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm down for changing +1 to Like. As I read it Mavric was just deciding which one of those two to keep. I kinda like seeing who liked your stuff more. If that can happen either way...I do like some of the extra reactions though. Yeah, there's a lot that's different about this look/feel. Part of it is that the Invision software has moved a long way (for better or for worse) since the 3.x.x days. Web technology as a whole has evolved greatly. IPB3 came out in 2009. We've put off the IPS4 upgrade for two offseasons, but for so many reasons -- security support being chief among them -- one cannot resist the tide forever. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Is this an off the shelf skin? Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 No. We had a dev do this for us along with the upgrade process. He was really on top of it all. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Probably the thing I like the least so far is how the content doesn't take up more of the width of my browser. Just wasted screen real estate. But that's interesting - so the options are either to see who liked your post, or to see the number of +1's? Kind of a goofy this or that scenario.

You should be able to. I missed it at first. It's on a separate tab a the top - below "Create New Topic" beside "Content" 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thanks, Mav. Is this the final iteration of this post box? We used to be able to switch from formatted text to plain text, but now it only gives you the option to view the source code. That sucks, and is far less user-friendly. 1 Quote Link to comment

I haven't seen anything to add that so far. But I used that a lot on the previous version. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Mine is different maybe. I have to double click the heart for it to count I guess. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 That's a crucial need, so if that can come back, I'd really like it. Oddly, the ability to change this box to plain text and to expand the text box to any size was one of the key reasons I joined HuskerBoard and stayed those first couple of years. I'd find a recipe I liked online, usually at FoodNetwork.com, and copypasta it into a text box to delete all the formatting (I know it's a silly method). Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 I poked around a bit and didn't find anything in the ACP. I was hoping there was something that could just toggle from rich text to BBcode and vice versa. There must be something...although I may settle for the editor not being the broken down POS it used to be. There also used to be Ctrl+Shift+V to paste as plain text with the formatting stripped out. Is that still around? I can't figure out how to do anything anymore, and part of that is I'm now on a Mac and getting used to these newfangled shortcut operations. Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 You can right-click and paste as plain text. Quote Link to comment

Cool. Some of the controls in the posting window are gone, like the ability to add spoiler tags. Will that be coming back? There is now an "eye" icon on the toolbar - just right of center - that allows you to create a spoiler. Spoiler It works pretty slick. 1 Quote Link to comment
