    • The Trash Basket subforum that contains some deleted romhacking threads is visible to non-moderators, and it shouldn't be. Three racist hacks that got removed and the rules for a defunct "Launchpad" forum are somehow stickied in it, and anything posted in the Launchpad between 2009 to 2016 is also visible in the forum's main section. The Launchpad forum itself is also visible, but only accessible via search or a direct link.

    EDIT: Fixed, thank you.

    It finally happened! I have not checked everything out yet, but it looks good at a first glance - even though my ingrained muscle memory for the old site will surely make things feel messy for a good while haha. Just want to say that I'm happy it became reality and say thanks for the hard work that must have gone in to this for so very long. I wish you good luck when sorting any remaining stuff out, and a happy new year c:

    You used to able to make a poll before the migration, it looks like there's no way to add polls anymore.

    Before the migration, I always preferred to keep the "posts per page" preference maxed out at 100. Since the migration, it's at 20 with no way to change it.

    Is there any chance of this option returning?

    We can do this on the backend for the entire site but there's no option in the current software to set it for individual users sadly. I can look into increasing it overall, but for page load times it's still best to stick with 20-30. I'll look into whether it's a viable option for us to get an addon so users can set their own preference!

    A smaller limit is intentional (and we may reduce it further actually, as even now 150 is a lot). 150+ images per post is very high and will impact performance; we should not have had no/next to no limits on the previous site. Customization was prioritized far too strongly over performance, but we need to keep a balance to make the site load well enough. I'm really sorry, I'd recommend making multiple posts instead of putting a ton of images in one post if possible. :sadwick:

    Is there a way to change this specifically for certain threads? I've hit the 100-image limit on the Hall of Fame thread, and all of the images there are tiny Pokemon sprites that shouldn't take up much space, and I can't exactly dual post there since it'd be spread out across multiple pages and that defeats the point of a Hall of Fame post. (I haven't used 150 Pokemon in forum challenges yet but I expect to have done so by the end of the year.)

    • Would it be possible to add something at the bottom of members online to show the staff that are online in some way? Most other Xenforo forums I visit show the staff online on the home page in some way. Might be helpful for people who would like to contact the staff about issues in some shape or form.

    We've already been in contact but I'm going to look into uploading sprites of all Pokémon as smilies so we can use them for things like this, since smilies don't count towards the limit!

    This was turned off because we weren't sure it was needed, but I'm going to discuss with team to see how we feel about enabling it (y)

    +1. Makes me searching things a lot easier.

    This 100-image limit also affected my thread. I used small images in spoiler.

    • I haven't actually needed to post anything there until now, but I just realized that the Writer's Lounge subforum is missing its thread prefix options, and from the thread creation dates for that forum, it looks like the migration may be to blame.
