Mod. Notice PLEASE READ - Big Footy on the Move

["The Roar Is Back"]

As Chief has announced today, Bigfooty is moving from the vBulletin platform to Xenforo.

It happens this week, so BF will down for a couple of days while the migration takes place.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

What do you think of the change?

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

Like anything new, it'll take a little time to get used to it. But it does feel like I've walked into a totally new forum, and not BigFooty

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

I'm now slowly working out the features (After I messaged Tug about what to do) hahaha.
It has it's great new bits, and some I don't dig as much.
I liked the old side bar on the left to scroll to other forums, and not so much this new click one where you have to scroll with it to bad fonts.
That's probably all I dislike so far.

 

[Morro]

I hate it so far, but its possibly because I hate change for the sake of change. I was first attracted to BF as it was layed out better, read easier and was more attractive than the other sites in general. Now it just looks the same as those other forums.

whinge over haha

I actually think in about a week or so, it wont seem som complex and you might find the layout even better.
The more time I spend on here, the more I like it.

If it means that BF servers stop melting down whenever an upset win occurs then I'm happy.

Shitful Im finding it painful to look at .

 

[guruisatiger]

weird but im sure like asll changes we will in time get to like it

 

[Punt_Road_Roar]

Just on another matter relating to this new format, some of you have avatars that need to be replaced because all I see is a blurrrrr ..... lol

 

[HeadandShin]

I like it so far - the quicker speed offsets the bit I don't like too much (which I am sure I will getr use to).
Although I can't see who each poster supports. Is there a way to bring this up - I can only see "Member since" and "Location"

This is my main beef so far and as a mod, I really do need to see who supports who as I can't distinguish a Tiger from a troll at the moment. makes modding very hard.

Use your influence as mod to get it changed now

[delediofan3]

I think there was a need to move to a more stable platform to be able to handle more traffic, so it's a bit more than just 'change for the sake of change'. Will take some getting used to.

Surely they will be able to re-instate the 'Club Supported' tag... well I sure hope they will.

Also look as if the last read post for each thread has been lost in the cut-over. Minor issue though I guess.

Anyone know of there is a multi-quote function?

 

[Groupie_]

Don't like it but I guess I'll get used to it..

I have changed my font to the traditional bigfooty font - arial

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

For those interested you can also change from the bigfooty fixed preference to xenfro , by clicking on the bigfooty fixed tab at the bottom of the screen . To reverse do likewise . Xen to me looks better .

Pretty sure the last post read is available , not last post posted ?
Whilst will ask the question re multi-quote ?

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Got no idea how ^ worked ?

Yeah last post read is available (little blue dot to left of thread titles), but the read posts from the database prior to the change over seem to have been lost. So if I click 'first unread post' now, I still go to the first post in the thread. After that, it remembers where I am up to. Nothing to worry about.

For multi quote just hit reply on first wished post and then hit reply on additional posts .

 

[DrMike]

I marked all forums as read, made it a bit easier to know what I hadn't read

 

[Feraligatr]

I can't change my avatar because I don't have a p.c/laptop

Well done Tugga. It's sorted now. that should make your life a lot easier.

Hate it as much as i hate Carlton.
