Grant Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hello everyone, The forums have undergone a conversion from our old software to IPB. It took a little longer than expected which explains why our forums were offline earlier in the day. Thanks for your patience, if you notice anything a bit wonky feel free to private message us or post back. P.s you may have also spotted a new "feel" or "theme" going on, it will all interlink with our new website (coming soon). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 What happened to the avatars? There's not even a section for them in the profile info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be some remotely hosted avatars didn't make it over during the upgrade, or some avatars got lost. Who knows. You should be able to add your avatar back though.

Holland Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Hey don't know if this is discussed some other topic yet, but what happened to all the attachments on messages? Was this done on purpose or accident. hopefully this (pretty awesome) theme is able to restore them if it was not on purpose Edited April 15, 2017 by Holland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn2mc Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Also, the older and better theme (pre-cncnet cnc-comm theme) got blasted too, it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new forum software so the old themes are not working anymore. But you should be able to switch to a alternative theme at the bottom of the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fir3w0rx Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) I like this pop-out menu hovering over the background thing, but how do you edit your post if you make a mistake? *edit oh ok, you just can't edit old posts.

Rampastring Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) I think "CnCNet Team" was a better label than just "Developer". My avatar also got reversed to its previous version. But other than that, I'm enjoying this update. Edited April 15, 2017 by Rampastring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSDS Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I want the other theme grant atleast as secondary one please. And this will be great in cncnet lobby (like the old client and the update 2.60) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Looking great Grant. Thanks a lot for the insane amount of time you spent working on CnCNet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimas Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 In general, it looks promising, but I NEED to edit the old stuff. Check out here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fir3w0rx Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Links to specific forum topics/pages don't seem to be working. Like for example, I just googled: -> red alert 2 maps (without quotes) -> then clicked on my map topic "RA2 & YR Maps - A ginormous collection of maps! - CnCNet" it took me to the front page of the forum instead of the topic's page. Same with other links to specific topics here. Also, it's a little annoying how if you copy a link from Google (or from anywhere else) then paste it onto your post, such as this one, it automatically turns it into a link, even though you didn't want it to be a link in your post, just a normal sentence. You have to either double-click that new link on your post then click "Remove Link", or right-click on your post while holding Ctrl, then click "Paste without formatting". Is there a way to create/edit posts using <tags> ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yeah, even the thread IDs are different. It's going to be a mess to re-link old topics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tore Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 The transition messed up a lot of permission related things, but they should be fixed now. Posts should be editable for an unlimited amount of time Everyone should be able to see attachments Everyone should be able to download attachments Anyone registered should be able to upload attachments Things that are work in progress: Restoring old similes/emoticons Links Restoring ranks Other things that show up If enough people want a cnc-comm style theme I guess I'll make one when I have time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messiah Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Will there be a support for the classical TD-style theme later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 There may be some custom backgrounds that can be chosen at some point in the future. Ideally we'd like to keep one theme as it's less maintenance. Up to @Tore whether he wants to make a separate theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holland Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Any luck on the old attachments from old theme? Would love to retrieve those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
