because garry doesn't want to store any private information on his database at all. more secure that way, because google is far, far less likely to suffer from a data breach

Fixing steam screenshot direct link embedding. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/852718778184252732/CF5043334025DCE8D9A57DED20737965B00B45AA/ would embed on the old forums in a [t] tag. Now you get an unhanded embed.

that makes a lot of sense, hopefully they will be back up soon, i had some threads i wanted to catch up on before the Full Migration took place

if we're gonna stick with this coin thing, I can see name changes being a good use of them once the sizes have reached the wanted sizes. Maybe have a very high price or a considerably low price with a long cooldown?

That's likely because Steam doesn't actually give file extensions and the easiest way to handle that sort of thing without complicated fuckery is to just only both with urls that give file extensions. The embed code could probably check the link's header or something but that would waste either server bandwidth or user bandwidth to do. It'd be better if we just had an actual option to embed images for urls like that instead.

looks like if someone quotes multiple people in a post it won't send out notifications, or at least doesn't notify the first person quoted

The roadmap still lists total migration as the second half of 2018, so I think oldpunch is just knocked down.

Is it just me or does oldpunch seems to be quite unstable lately? It's gone down nearly every 2nd day or so here.

it knows it is dying and is revolting of its own accord

I sure hope we get to see Read and Popular Threads pages back, I used them a bunch.

i just want a working ticker that i don't need to refresh every 2 minutes

probably asked before, but are visitor messages coming back?

The partial quoting is nice but I liked being able to edit quotes to highlight parts with bold and things like that. Plus being able to make quotes from articles and other sources is a bit shitty and inconsistent right now since we have to use the weird > quotes.

yeah I cant even get old facepunch to load, I miss it already

Tbh biggest thing I'd love is the ability to change number of posts per page + maybe a feature to load 2 posts horizonally

Pretty sure all the account migration is effectively DDOSing the old forums lmao

It was down for me, was back up for a minute or two, then went back down. Server's probably just acting up. I hope.

It's been on and off for me, mostly off.

Do GMF rules still apply if the GMF forums don't exist?

Is it possible to justify text? Really annoying on mobile (Chrome, Android) to read longer posts. probably late

The margins are so god damn thick

One small thing: I would like to see words auto break to next line instead of chopping the word.

I want the thread post count feature back

The words being chopped off mid-sentence is because the CSS isn't set to word-break: break-word; Rather it's probably set to break all characters instead.

A couple issues: Things look terrible at 4k, probably more so on ultrawides There's no obvious way to embed images, not all image sites have file extensions so they won't auto embed either Now: 25% ish padding (much better imo)

Look in settings

Full width & custom css != proper support for all screens

Also the showing who voted what rating feature back would be nice.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/word-break Break-word isn't an actually valid value. Only a few browsers, such as Chrome it seems, actually support it. However this appears to be the valid equivalent: .ql-container.ql-snow .ql-editor { overflow-wrap: break-word; } Enable the wide theme in your settings.
