Yo nerds, I've asked the new hosts to consider using an updated version of the old forum style that I've modified and sent them. Would look like this:

Pretty much same as it used to, with the bookmarks button back and the non-awful colour scheme etc. Sure it won't please everyone but hey ho.

Yes. Without a doubt.

How can I find my own posts and topics?
Your own posts can be retrieved either by clicking the “Show your posts” link within the User Control Panel or by clicking the “Search user’s posts” link via your own profile page or by clicking the “Quick links” menu at the top of the board. To search for your topics, use the Advanced search page and fill in the various options appropriately.

where the fuck is the User Control Panel? I ctrl+f'd it, but still can't see it

How does one bookmark threads now?

Furthermore, how does one receive notifications of threads one selects?

[OogyBoogy]

I can't be arsed reading through the thread. Is there a way to have the thread title above each post like the old version?

[calmdown]

Yes, yes there is

[XRD]

Yes, yes there is

Could you share please?

[Trigger]

Yes, yes there is

Could you share please?

If you'd looked back a couple of pages, you'd have seen this

Has the thread title disappeared for anyone else?

Above each post I mean.
Edit: Nevermind. Just had to re-edit the code in Stylish

What did you do to get them back?

Yeah what happened to the thread titles in each post?
I thought that was sorted with a smaller font. I'd prefer that back.

I have been out for a bit so I haven't followed every development and update in here tbf.

For those of you wanting the thread titles back in the post as above ^^^, here is what you need to do...

In your code, remove the bit that says

Code: Select all

    .postbody h3 {
        display: none !important;
    }

That will make it come back, to make it look a lot better, replace the above with this instead

Code: Select all

    .postbody h3 {
        font-size: 1.1em;
        margin-bottom: 4px;
    }

Can I nominate Trigger for a forum Knighthood? Well deserved imo

Enjoy

[XRD]

Sorry, lazy forumming on my part - cheers

[Know_The_Ledge]

I still only get two threads when I click on 'View Your Posts'

Anyone sorted this? It is rather annoying.

[Tonton Zola]

I've got a new laptop, and installed the style in the OP. Looks great, but I'm now missing the View Your Posts and Bookmarks links form the top right. What do I need to add back in to get the?

Depending on your browser, you need to install either Greasemonkey (firefox or Tampermonkey (chrome) and then go to these links:

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/11491 ... ifications - Gets the "view your posts" and "bokmarks" buttons back.
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/11510 ... new-window - Makes sure that links open in a new window

Once youve gone to the links, click on "Install this script" and let it do its thing

[Tonton Zola]

I was forgetting about the Greasemonkey part

[Moe]

Apologies if this has been posted before, having trouble reading posts
Currently looks like this

Spoiler: show

And when I mouse over I can see the titles

Spoiler: show

Any idea on how to fix this?
Quality Control etc...

[Pewtey]

I've already forgotten what the old forum looked like.

Encroaching senility

[SeasideWolf]

Just quickly created another script to temporarily try to fix the refresh issues people are having. It adds an extra parameter to each link so you might see a lot more forum entries in your history if that bothers you. Also rather than refreshing the index or threads to see new posts you'll need to click the links such as "Football Forum" at the top of each page.

There could be other issues with it as I haven't fully tested it out but let me know.

Edit 2: Jump to latest post should be working now if you update

Sterling effort. Any way to get it to work when pressing the home button in my browser? It's set to the football forum page, so if I press that at the moment, it takes me to an outdated list of threads from 10 minutes ago. Click the link at the top of the page as you explained instead and it sorts it. Press my home button again and I go back in time once more

[Wanderer]

Ole media should just employ you to fix the forum tbh

Don't think there's a way unfortunately, the forum seems to refresh when there's something unique in the URL so the one you have saved as your homepage is going to be the same URL every time.

Edit to say you'll also see outdated versions if you click a bookmark, use the back button/refresh. Only clicking links to navigate around will refresh topics/posts

[Buis]

Yeah that script doenst really work im afraid

[Both Nervous]

so apparently the forum is fucked because of all the changes people are making. So please roll back any changes, thanks.

Is there a way of replicating the "Go" button refresh trick but adding it as a link at the top of the page too?

[Trigger]

Update

If anyone wants a look similar to the Awooga forum (flat, modern, bit more spacious) then I have put together this:
https://userstyles.org/styles/118868/tr ... -flat-look

Just go there ^^ and install it with Stylish if you have that installed (as per the OP)

You should disable the old restyler (click on stylish icon and click on 365 Restyler #new to disable). If you like the new style, uninstall the old one to save some loading time.

[pie5]

looks good.
The only question I have is there isn't an easy way to see if sticky threads have new posts in them now.

[Caladan]

Looks much better, thanks Trig

[Trigger]

:toppa: looks good.

If there are new posts (as in you havent read them) the title will be bold. If you've read them, the title will be normal weight.

Its the same for all of the other threads in the main list

Clicking on the bit that says Sticky seems to work the same for me.

Just click on the word "Sticky" and it shall do the same thing
