New Forum Software? Angry Penguin is angry!

By Desslok, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

No problem :) . I'm here to help! Going forward, too, it seems, because I don't have to deal with horrible, horrible mobile sites now!

And they didn't even have the courtesy to buy you dinner before they merged you.

I, for one, will not miss signatures.

  • I only see two themes at the bottom and neither is what I want.
  • Avatars look like they reverted to their 1977 version.
  • A pirate has much, much better reputation then me.

* The Default Theme isnt dark like my preferred one, but blue on white isn't that horrible (or is at least less horrible). At least you have a divider breaking up the individual messages in the thread that way.

* Yeah - the Avatars look like they're a 100x100 graphics blown up to 200x200 - blury as hell!

* Perhaps he hijacked your reputation?

  • I can't see which subforums have unread links from the main page probably due to color changes.
  • Can barely read forum title, light gray on white.
  • And it looks like we won't know WHO liked something, just that it's been liked.
  • My signature is gone (looked in my settings, yep it's been cleared). It would have been nice to at least been given the chance to copy them to notepad so I could put them back?
  • Friends/followers list cleared, empty.
  • Avatars look like they reverted to their 1977 version.
  • I can't see how many likes my own post has gotten. I can see someone liked something in notifications up top, but have no idea who it was.
  • A pirate has much, much better reputation then me.

Well, since I can't keep editing my post any longer....

  • Option to edit your posts now expires, very quickly (looks like I caught that typo in time, and that one).

Typo x2

Oh, good... We can still make double posts!:P

Really? I just went back to the first post from an hour ago and was able to edit. I wonder if subposts are subject to a lock that parent posts aren't subject to?

They still exist. They've just been cleared.

How does one reestablish a signature, then? I would like to reestablish mine. Sorry for people who dislike them, but it's something I like.

Also, Sturn, the Pirate has such a good reputation because he uses his art threads to steal and farm likes! He cheats, like any honest pirate should! :D

Previously, it gave me a message something like, "Too much time has expired can't edit" when trying to edit. Only a few minutes after I typed the original message. Just now I went back to the same post and it allowed an edit. So I'm not sure what's going on.

My bet is that you can only edit so many times do quickly. So give it a few minutes in between edits and you're probably fine.

Go to your name in top right corner > Profile > Edit Profile (in top right corner of that big box with your name in it) > About Me (at the bottom). It looks like "About Me" is the new signature?

I saw that, but I wasn't sure. I'll try it and we'll see!

That's not good. You should (actually shouldn't) see the drivel I post before the 10 edits I quickly do for typos, stuff that didn't sound anything like what I thought I was typing, removal of angry verbiage, etc

I put a link in my About Me section but it doesn't look like it's showing up in forum view.

Yeah, I tried it too, and nothing :( . Darn...I was hoping that, eventually, the work I did helping with predictions and rules and stuff would finally get SOMEONE to look at my writing project and offer constructive feedback. On the whole, I trust you guyses opinions.

But alas.

Looks like the About Me is something other than a signature. I was able to see your link: https://sites.google.com/site/sturnsstuff/starwars from that tab - but that's all I see.

I just check and i was able to change your login account to Desslok :)

Although apparently the changes haven't propagated to the forums yet!

Yay! We will have our proper angry penguin back!

EDIT: Oh hey! You're officially Desslok again!

Isn't "proper angry penguin" an oxymoron?

That just means that we're upper class, with top hats and monocles

I prefer to think of "proper", when applied to penguins, as a bite-sized snack food for orcas. :P

Well given that Orca are in the Arctic and Penguins are in the Antarctic...They are bite size snacks for seals... not Orca...Just sayin'
