    Hmmm... Isn't there a way to have the recent post links bring to the post in question instead of the first post of the thread every time, like it was before we went XF?

    Did we actually move twice? I mean the URL worked well for Xenforo initially.

    Tried Firefox, Palemoon, and Opera. Didn't work for the first two, but Opera worked. I assume that you use Google Chrome?

    EDIT: Well, I feel like an idiot. Forgot to have NoScript allow scripts from the new URL.

    Moved once to Xenforo from SMF, but once it became apparent how badly the old host plan was, steps were taken to move the board to a VPS solution which is dedicated for us exclusively. This mitigates lag.

    Name just bring to profile, so it's really the time under it. It works, but it's certainly not intuitive...

    Geryon needs to enable it as its not apart of default permissions.

    I'll add it to the list.

    Is there anyway to get a version of dark responsive with BLACK text boxes rather than grey?

    That would basically make it completely perfect for me.

    Would it be troublesome to ask for something can handle table tags to be put in place? I used them fairly often to make Quest info look neat and readable on the old forum, but they don't seem to be available just now.

    For example:

    [table]
    [tr][td]Test[/td][td]Tags[/td][/tr]
    [tr][td]Go[/td][td]Here[/td][/tr]
    [/table]

    See?

    If you hover over them, there should be an X button in the upper right of the message.

    It seems to only show up in some themes though, didn't really pay much attention since I was looking through them to see which one was closest to old QQ but a new message or someone who hasn't dismissed them yet can check it easily enough.

    EDIT: Wait, just realized I can enable them again. Will test it myself.

    EDIT2: Hydrogen is the one not working, funny considering it is the default style.

    Yeah, that was driving me crazy right after the switch. I only noticed the button to close them out after I switched themes, but I thought I had just been unobservant before. Thanks for the confirmation, and yeah, that needs to change.

    So is there a way to make the boxes for the avatar pics/names a little bigger? I'm going to guess not since it seems to be a part of the theme rather than something else, oh well.

    Yes, it purely a function of styles. Each will be different.

    I'm seeing sprinkled through some imported posts and signatures, including some on this page.

    It'd be neat if that turned into a space.

    Its been addressed, and must fall on the hands of posters. The amount needed to do it by elgee is too much. We're sorry for this inconvenience~.

    There's the possibility that, over the next few days, we can run a script over messages to fix some of the easier incompatibilities. Also, potentially, to get redirecting to work so that old links will resolve properly.

    This is contingent, and may not actually work. But we're trying.

    I'd very much prefer not having a serif default font. I'm not sure why all the styles seem to use it.

    And yes, all my formatting is broken: I've historically made heavy use of the [table], [hr], and [nobbc] tags, and none of those work. Even many of my [quote] tags are broken. (In fact, my [hr] tags specifically have been completely stripped.)

    EDIT: Also, when I edited this post in the Rich Text Editor, the zero-width italic tags I dropped into the tag names above (to prevent them from being read as actual tags) were deleted.

    (Why was there a push to move to Xenforo, anyway? It looks like a very high-maintenance setup, and we don't have a dedicated techie like Xon to handle issues like this.)

    It's not that high maintenance once you have everything out of the way, which only takes a little while, and the only reason its taking as long as it does is because the SMF importer is not very good. Once we get the kinks worked out, everything will be fine.

    As for why we moved to it? It can be literally summed up as 'I decided that SMF sucks ass, I asked elgee to see if people would want this, thus offered some money to make it happen if they did. People voted yes on the poll so donations were collected and here we are.'

    Will you be placing a link to the chat somewhere (eventually)?

    Edit: I see that it`s SUPPOSED to be on the top of the page... but I don`t see it?
