Planned software upgrade - Feedback

[Jack]

Hello guys,
Saturday morning (7:00 AM GMT) we've planned to upgrade our forum software. This process should take around 1 hour, and in this time frame the forums will be closed.
This is a big update and some features will not be available after this process, however we've tried to keep everything as familiar as possible. Hopefully you will like all the new things that we've added, and help us with constructive feedback.

Hi @Jack,
the style/theme MalwareTips 6102 will continue?

Hi @Jack,
the style/theme MalwareTips 6102 will continue?

Hey Faybert,
Unfortunately no, everything will be lost in this upgrade. We've created a fairly similar style as the current default theme to speed up the update process, but we do plan to create a new layout for this community within the next days.
The most noticeable change will be a sidebar which will be everywhere (if you don't like it, there will be a "toggle" button to remove it), however there will also be a lot of other small changes.
We do plan to add new features and a new layout within a few days after the upgrade is ready, however seeing that is such a big update we've kept the design changes to a minimum.

What about the dark theme?
Will it (or something similar) be there on v2.0?

Yes, I know that a lot of members like to use a dark style so I'm working right now on this layout. I'm using very dark backgrounds and bright text, so that it will be very easy to read.

The Dark Style does look very good, I agree @Der.Reisende

Did the update go as planned ?

Hey,
I didn't start the update process, there are a few small things to do before I can go ahead with this. A lot of small things, but apparently they do take a lot of time! I'll let guys know once the update it's done, however I suspect that you'll already know. : P

 

[L0ckJaw]

I know ! If you need help just ask me

Seams the upgrade been done right? Really like the new Dark theme but I miss the Like feature in pm's.

Another thing. IMO the empty spaces ( as seen in the screenshot ) on the mainpage should be filled/edited if possible.

Spoiler

It's good to see that the "old" MT Dark Theme is still here. Gonna stick to it

I miss the Like feature in pm's

I already miss it too

So long to the PM Like feature... I should have appreciated smacking that button for PM GIFs while I still had the chance

New theme changes are great though, and I really like this Dark Theme!

 

[Faybert]

Are the changes already made? I think not, otherwise @Jack would have spoken, the only thing that made me feel sad is about the theme/style MalwareTips 6102 , that's going to be excluded
