Yeah man… what would Spider do when he see the new design? Maybe pointing with a so called bowel-disruptor at the elektron-crowd.
They shit and piss in their pants… because the forum looks so fine:innocent:
I must admit clearly: posting makes far more fun now and it is a pure joy for me to interact
Well I had to change my name, my old email was an old work one.
Not that I really know anyone here anyway.
The new forum is very snappy, but it’s taking a while to figure out all the new stuff. Nice change Elektrons (although I was maybe one of the few fans of the previous forum 
)
I also try to breathe and emit openness…
OM
First time at the new forum. Have to say, I think the new forum is worse. Seems to be slower if such a thing were possible. Colour scheme is awful for trying to figure out what is what on a page (looks like a word processor)
This has probably been asked elsewhere but what happened all the old thread?
Google searching for old threads leads to missing pages ?
Should be swept up eventually … Elektronauts 1.0 links broken (* this may be sorted eventually)
.
I also find it tricky to visualize a page - the whiteout is evidently also hard on our eyes plus I’ve noticed it be slowish to load, but it does seem like a step forward for sure … just far too white for now !
One question concerning replies – the way they’re implemented now often forces an extra click – you know, the reply icon that you have to click on to see the actual text that the reply concerns. could the “quoted” text be expanded by default?
LyingDalai’s message
Highlight the text you want to see and there will be a popup ‘quote reply’ button - in case you hadn’t spotted it !
Would have been cool if it fonts and menus were done in the style of the buttons and labels on the Elektron boxes…
Anyway, after a couple of days usage I like it, miles more interactive than the old one. I understand the minimalist skin, but it is a little tiring on the eyes after a while.
The only thing worse than skeuomorphism is the blinded-by-white experience we’re all getting our eyes round right now 
Well I wasn’t thinking skeuomorphic design, i.e. literally mimicking physical attributes of buttons etc., just flat representation.
Unfortunately there has to be some post processing of conversations to get images and references to old topics to be correct. This might slow down the forum this week.
I hadn’t, thank you!
I wouldn’t mind if the forum just defaulted to that behaviour, though… 
Links to old topics, post and user profiles should be fixed now. We would appreciate if you tell us if you find any broken links out there. Happy clicking!
thanks!
and thank you so much for doing this much-needed reboot 
Okay - this does not retrospectively redirect current googling of old cached posts then ! is this something that can be worked on ? (to connect old thread references to new)
We’re hoping that Google will re-crawl elektronauts.com as more and more request go towards the new website. If this doesn’t happen automatically within a near future we will have to try and force a re-crawl. No effort will be put in trying to manually connect old threads to new. As you mentioned, this is a matter of cache. The beauty of internet!!
These links (my bookmarks) are still broken…

Hmm. As I said in the earlier post
I’m sorry to say that at this point it would be too big of a task to redirect all 160.000 post’s urls to the new ones.
But here’s a small help with your bookmarks.
Oh sorry, my mistake…
You were saying [quote=“elektronauts, post:153, topic:19212”]Links to old topics, […] should be fixed now[/quote]
So I understood you got some kind of redirection table…
I understand now that when you say “links to old topics”, you mean that you guys corrected the links within the posts…
