Congrats and thank you for your work. The design looks slick although it needs improvement.

LOL. Please delete your NSFW post in from this thread. I reported it, but I guess no mods is active in that forum.

They(mods) are pretty active in that forum as well ATM , I'd guess. However, the best thing you can do (IMO) is to report 'em(the post with their respective link) to a mod in this forum via PM & it'll be fine as well.

Dude, it is alright if you only put one NSFW image, but you stack 396 NSFW image in one post.

Did you count 'em? That's sarcastic.

tbh I don't mind you. The new software needs to be tested, you're just putting pressure on developers to fix certain aspects more quickly. I guess you'd be banned sooner or later anyway.

LOL. With NSFW images? He is spamming the same image in other thread as well.

a rules about post restriction for a newbie should being enacted even it's still beta because those pictures really hurt my eyes,or atleast, make the image appear as a link,the new forum have unlimited space for a post didn't it?

Yeah, I noticed that there is no character limit in the new forum software.
This thread have more than 120k characters. (https://beta.bitcointalk.org/threads/NVhXrI8BScC4kNAl5BRX0A/posts)

Edit: Looks like I willhave to try from my comp. Got a wheel of death icon on my andriod.

Works fine on my Android.

Just gave it another shot, looks like I just did not give it enough time to load.

Is there a buglist being maintained somewhere? To check if I'm not reporting something that's already known.

Post limitations might have been overlooked but people like him make it seem like it isn't so trivial.

Great, will check this out now on my journey home.

What is the security risk of transferring PMs over? I would think allowing people to import the PMs into the new forum would cause additional risks as PMs might be able to be faked, ect

It just makes me extremely nervous to transfer this huge chunk of very-private data from this extremely-battle-hardened software onto new software.

Ah, this was unexpectedly great to hear. So exactly what is the plan once the beta finishes, a merge of everything (i.e. threads and posts made on both 'forums')?

Anything you post on beta.bitcointalk.org outside of Beta discussion will be deleted in the final merge.

I just find the new forum look awful. The old one was unique. This one looks like a lot of altcoins forum, it is common. For me, the old will be always better !

Good to know.

I just find the new forum look awful. The old one was unique.

The look doesn't matter that much, the functionality does. AFAIK there will be more themes/this one won't be default (?). I dislike the current one as well.

I'm not sure whether there is one outside of Github.

So new functionalities are coming ? What about translations of the menus, the buttons etc. ? That would be something I would love and to which I could contribute. If a "retro" theme, like this one is available, I won't have any regret to switch to the new forum software. Also, a little functionality that I would like would be that you would get PMs from the forum when you someone replies to a thread you marked, as a kind of notification+, but maybe all this is off-topic and there's a dedicated thread to functionality suggestions.

Lol my guides are so mashed up: https://beta.bitcointalk.org/threads/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABI7IQ/posts

• Font size command has changed which seems weird - every previous instance has pt but now it rejects pt.
• Viewable width is ~60% of what it was.
• Anchor command has gone.
• Table commands seem the same but not working.
• Thread and post numbering has changed from numerical to alpha which makes it very hard to tell chronological order and prevents easily swapping between versions.
• Search seems to be doing nothing.
• Very little user stats or information.
• No post history of users.

I was trying to navigate to my Manufacturer trustworthiness guide but its probably page 20 by now and can't get there via link, history or changing URLs.

Qeustion: will bitcointalk.org be close after the new forum is released?

There will be a period for the forum software migration, if you're asking that if the domain will still be bitcointalk.org . The answer is yes

and do we still need to reset our password after the new forum is launched or is it just for the beta testing?

I think thats mandatory when the new forum software replaces this one

thanks for the info! ill ask again if i need something to be clarify.
thanks!!

*Now there is no UID for users ?
*Only the messages tab works out of these three :  
  also a hover popup displaying these tabs' names should be added.
*Now the user have to type all the BB code himself ?
 It is missing some frequently used BB code's buttons like bold, italics, etc. which are currently available in older version at top in "post reply".
*Why is HR and BTC a closed tag now ?
*The BTC logo is (currently) not displayed, instead BTC is only displayed after using

Code:

[BTC][/BTC]

[Amph]

at first glance it seems too naked for me, i hope this is not even close to being the final release for the front

anyway when i go backwards to the previous page the scroll begins from up down, is this done on purpose?

[Dogedigital]

No one say anything bad about the new forum.

Censorship is awesome.

No one say anything bad about the new forum.

I'm not sure whether you are being serious or trying to troll. This thread is full of things that are wrong with the forum.

So new functionalities are coming ?

They are already here, you just don't have the 'access level' to see some of them (e.g. moderator tools).

What about translations of the menus, the buttons etc. ?

What do you mean by this? Translate the forum interface into other languages?

No point in translating anything yet, as text strings are prone to change while in Beta.
