MathJax looks useable that would have to be fully determined by eeems though
Cooliojazz is currently working on a Package for this.

A quick note on that post Albert, this isn't a temporary theme per say. This is a WIP of the new 2014 theme. The other old themes will be brought back eventually though. They are not a priority due to other more pressing things that need fixing though.

I don't like this one bit.


My Rep is at 0 D:


EDIT:Why can't I change back to the old theme? It isn't an option on the homepage.
Please read the news post in full before asking questions.

And a third thing that is not so important, but the Recent posts are in "Unread" even if they are read. So maybe it would be better if it was in the "top bar" directly, as it used to be before the upgrade.
Please send all requests to http://ourl.ca/request instead of posting them. I do not have the time to go through every single post in the forum to find all user requests.
Will the Recent posts show links to posts instead of showing their content directly ?
As mentioned before, yes. If you really want the links to posts etc though, use the unread/replies pages instead though.
Slowly getting used to the new theme and I must say, Eeems' KISS puristicy (wut) seems to pay off, it looks nice. Only the navigation bar needs a revamp. I would like if it was somewhat wider, just like on the old forums.
If that's added, I'll be very content and happy. :3
Actually my main gripe with the navbar is that I am so used to New Posts being last. However, I think they tried to group things together via drop-downs, so having two forum-related links would have made no sense. However, I really can't wait until the old new posts list is back. Omni activity skyrocketed shortly after it was implemented and many people used it.
Honestly unread/replies works way better then the others for seeing activity. Plus we have post notifications on IRC.

As for telling what the site is about, what we need back is the intro we had on the front page saying what Omni is about and how it's meant to be free of hostility and all. Since there isn't enough space for calc screenshots in the banner, a small strip of calc screenies of popular Omnimaga projects could be added inside the Welcome to Omnimaga box in the middle. The about page is nice, but we really need an (updated) summary on the front page, like we had and like what Cemetech currently has. The free of hostility part could also continue to deter sign ups of certain troublesome users (although negative post ratings usually did the work once they signed up).
Make requests to the requests form please.

I think his issue is that if you go to the news section of the forums, now the topics are not only ordered by last reply instead of starting date, but their actual start date no longer shows up below topic titles (the old SMF board, along with the Invisionfree ones, used a mod for that). It makes it next to impossible to find any older news because the Omnimaga search is completely broken (most results are irrelevant and we can no longer search for digits, such as "7 years").
Try searching by '7%years'. It's not as exact as '7 years' (ie: it can return results for "7. This example will take years") but it does work. The search itself is actually not broken. It is now using a fulltext index to search the forum which provides enhanced search speed and less cpu usage on searching. I just tried to do some generic searches and almost none of the results were irrelevant.

Nice...
 When I saw different GUI here I was thinking, that omnimaga site is broken. So it is not broken, but it is an upgrade.
Any chance to switch back to the original design ?
Please read the news post fully before asking questions.
I like the simplicity and clean looks of the new design. Gives the site a more "serious" touch. But I miss the news roll and the "recent posts" list on the hp. Especially with the removing the news roll omni kinda shoots itself in the leg, because if you're not logged in, you basically have no means of telling what this site is about.

Btw I didn't receive a notification either.
News roll? The main page is suppose shows the news, but it seems someone was playing around with the permissions again. That should be fixed now.

I should have known that you did the updates!  (With all of the grey)  ++  Overall, nice work.  ;D

BTW, I'm not sure if someone has already covered this, but will "karma" be restored?  For instance, is there a log with all of the karma in it from the last SMF version?  We could always just become a socialist component...  :P
We do have a log, and I'm going to see if I can import the log in tonight. I have finally implemented something that will allow you to upvote specific posts and there have been some other improvements on the Karma system. You can only rate people once every 10 minutes in order to keep people from spamming. When you do you have the option of giving a description on why you did in order to help people understand why you like/dislike their posts.

Thanks!
Wider navigation bars don't work well on mobile devices, or computers with lower resolution. Instead we have opted for a cleaner navigation interface with dropdowns for extra related options.

The "New Posts" is still (kind of)there, it's just not a button at the moment. On the forum drop down menu at the top go down to "Unread" and click on it. This will show you all posts you haven't read, starting with the most recent.
The thing I was complaining about was the "unread" part. As stated in my previous post, I would like to see all recent posts, not only unread posts among recent ones.
http://omnimaga.org/recent
E-Mail? I didn't get an E-Mail..
It seems that nobody did. Google must have blocked it or something when we sent it.
Usability should be the first goal of any design, not the look.

Anyhow, the new theme is like gnome3, looks good but is unusuable.
You made this post didn't you? Seems usable enough to me. May I mention again that this theme is still a WIP and nowhere near done?

1. Borders: Left and right, black. Why? If I zoom out they stay the same size.
Why would you zoom out ever?
Quote
2. Size + Spacing: On my 1366*768 laptop screen I can barely read the title of the first post without scrolling and at the bottom I can't even see the last post.
Raise your issue with SMF. There isn't much changed with the sizing compared to the default curve theme.

3. Where are the new posts listed? I want a short overview what happend while I was away and not a huge list with the posts themselves.
Read the rest of the thread please... This has been answered so many times.

4. Bad post layout: No newline for text after images, look at the news section
That is a bug with the news section only. If you look at the actual thread you'll see it's not an issue. Please report all bugs with http://ourl.ca/issue instead of posting them here. I will not sort through the threads just to find issues with the new site when I have already provided you with a tool to report them.

I hope I'm the only one who thinks the current theme is total crap compared to the old one.
I'm looking forward to be able to use the old ones again.
Yeah thanks for that. I spent a good couple days working on this. Really appreciate you shitting on my work especially knowing it's still a WIP.

And a smaller issue (I'll report on ourl.ca/issue):
OmnomIRC isn't visible on the quick-reply preview page.

Sorry if I under-appreciate your work, I know how hard it is to satisfy everone, especially with a new design...
That is not an issue, that is a request. Please log it with http://ourl.ca/request

I'll look into getting quick reply enabled by default.

EDIT: You'll have to go re-enable it in your settings to get it to work.

Site Feedback and Questions / Re: New Signature Limitations
« on: March 01, 2014, 04:43:32 pm »
Question: On the new board, would some sort of AJAX spoiler tags be feasible, so that the spoiler content doesn't load until expanded?

I also wonder if sig lenght and file size detection would be hard to implement when people change their sig (although file size detection would be easy to circumvent, as the user could upload an 1 KB GIF somewhere then once the sig is edited, replace it with a much larger one)? That way you could get rid of scrollbars, which can be a little annoying when scrolling through pages using a mousewheel.
Possibly. Not on the plans right now though.
