Bell Tree Direct - 2.2.20

[Alienfish]

Ooooo ... forgot to mention that this sounds potentially great:
A usable image uploader
This is something that I have been struggling with a lot

yeah while i dont mind using imgur i think it's kinda dumb you'd lose bells so yep.

 

[Ably.Saucey]

I second the image uploader!

 

[John Wick]

We haven't made final decisions on every design element yet, but please stay tuned for more previews soon!

As Jeremy said, we plan on offering some compensation for avatar width purchases, don't worry.

I don't want TBT bells, I want to keep my avatar. Lol

Will we be able to disable reactions? That's facebook.
I remember just scrolling a page and I had somehow had five reactions.
Also be able to turn off quote and mentions?

I hope the forum looks how it looks now.

And yeah as everyone else I love that you're gonna be able to ping people directly. Honestly it was a bit annoying having to like stuff just so they'd see it ...

Ping?

Ok. That's another thing I have to disable.

I would gladly take tbt for my avatar extension that I don’t use

Well I want to keep mine.
It took me 3 years to decide to buy that addon and I really like it.

Just out of curiosity: what did TBT 1.0 look like?

 

[Zane]

Lots of exciting news!! Thanks for the bells

 

[Dacroze]

These news sound really exciting! Those new features will be really useful and I kinda missed not having some of them when I was used to them from other places.

Considering I wasn't around for the 2017 Fair, I'm also curious to see how the games will be

I thought I had the avatar width extension but I checked and I don’t F

Thanks, so cool to see!
I definitely like these layout colours the most. Hope the general look & feel will stay at least in part with the new software

this sounds like a lot of fun! thank you staff for the hardwork and for notifying us of the upcoming changes. the new features sound great. no more having to manually check for replies or rely on likes for quote notifications is a breath of fresh air.

oh yeah. the free bells are also appreciated.

Hey-hey, been here a week and already get my first TBT Direct!

It comes the day after I spent some seashells on my avatar extension, mind... hope you compensate me in the correct currency

Not gonna lie, I was instantly drawn in tumbling across this site a couple of weeks ago by the sheer nostalgia vBulletin evoked in me, but for both functionality and security purposes you gotta move with the times.

And also, for people with fears like Baba Yaga here...

I've just seen a preview of one of those forums. Like a business site, and stuff down the right hand side, so the forum wasn't full width.

Round avatars.

Very impersonal, cramped and bland.

Sorry, I just really like the way TBT is now.

... so much of a look and feel of a forum comes not from the software but the theme and customisation. Most sites installing forum software go with fairly vanilla settings and install a theme that follows whatever the visual design philosophy du jour is.

I haven't been here long but I very much get the impression from how TBT is set up that the staff realise how important the 'comfy' and slightly old-school feel of the place is to the community atmosphere. I imagine they've taken the look and feel very much into consideration when setting up the new XenForo system - I doubt it'll end up looking like a business site!

And a properly implemented mobile version will be a great improvement - having to do way more pinch+zooming than I'd like currently.

Looking forward to partaking in the games week with you cats too!

I don't ever use mobile view.
Yes I hope the skin and layout look the same.

 

[Zura]

There's a good chance the general layout will be exactly the same. Let's hope not.

 

[LambdaDelta]

I doubt it'll look 1:1 the same, but I don't expect the forum visual design to do a complete 180 either

 

[moonbyu]

oh! i've used xenforo once. it's pretty cool!

 

[xSuperMario64x]

Just resent my application for Project Staff. I know they're not really looking for PS people rn but it's nice to have the opportunity to apply

Tbh me too, I don't often find myself using the Avatar Width Extension because all the pictures that I like/want to use are square shaped lol

Ten pages and nobody has asked the important question: NIGHT THEME?

HOLY **** I LOVE XENFORO YES YES YES

It’s the worst /s
