Weeters 1915 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 It's been a rough road getting here, but we're excited to reveal the new site. Let's get to it! Outside of visual changes, there aren't a whole lot of functional changes. Notable changes include: Mobile support is improved, especially when composing a message. Emoticons are OUT and the full suite of emojis are IN. BBCode has been removed completely in favor of a more robust WYSIWYG editor. The logo has been refreshed. Coming soon: We will be restoring the ability to register and sign in with popular web services like Google, Twitter, and Facebook. And there is much more to come in the days and weeks ahead! Stay tuned for more updates. Regrettably, the old Shoutbox was not able to be carried over to the new site. We are looking into our options when it comes to real-time discussion, including integration with services like Discord, which many of you already use. This will also be addressed within the coming days. Please reach out if you encounter any issues, either by PM or by emailing [email protected]. 12 5 1 1 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16785-welcome-to-the-new-improved-tvnewstalk/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist 894 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Woohoo! We're back on Invision! Question though: Will a dark theme be also addressed? 7 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16785-welcome-to-the-new-improved-tvnewstalk/#findComment-217282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mre29 1513 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hm. Looks like I'm going to have to update my avatar. But I like the new, expanded set of emoji! As a front-end web developer, I'm instinctively distrustful of WYSIWYGs, so I'll need a little time to get used to not having BBCode. That said, the site looks good!

You might want to automatically type a space after the URL.

TVLurker 198 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I literally hate InvisionBoard. XenForo was way better. 6 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16785-welcome-to-the-new-improved-tvnewstalk/#findComment-217376 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoadStar 364 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Gotta say I'm not a fan of Invision either. I'll deal, but I definitely don't care for it in the least.

MetroCity 248 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Is there any way to get rid of the floating Facebook and Twitter link buttons on the right side (iPad)? They’re very annoying, and all they do is open the same page in a new tab. Thank you. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16785-welcome-to-the-new-improved-tvnewstalk/#findComment-217407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
