    Another cool feature the forums have now is asking to translate a page. So yay I can spy on the German forum now. :)

    Just deployed a hotfix to the forum, so all new users will be required to fill out ReCaptchas before doing anything! It's an inconvenience, but it's required, unfortunately.

    I absolutely hate it.

    Why?

    1 - Gradients. Gradients everywhere. This is a huge step back in terms of design, and none of the ones I've noticed thus far are needed.
    2- The color scheme is terrible at the moment, probably due in part to #1.
    3- Confusing layout. The way that posts appear causes them to read as 'quotes' inside a post, rather than as a post themselves. This makes the signatures read as a reply to the post, and can get quite confusing.
    4- Fixed width. This is late 2013. I'm willing to bet 95% of the screens visiting this site are widescreen, why on earth is a forum still being created without widescreen in mind!?

    Fixed width was actually requested in this very topic and it's currently not as easy to make options for everything as you notice everyone wants something else. Also I have to say again, the theme is just a recolored default XenForo theme and a better one will be made in due time.

    @LennardF1989 Can you make it so when you click a link of a post it's put at the very top rather than the middle of the screen? Know what I mean?

    That's a feature if you are watching a thread. Simply clicking the thread title will bring you to the newest unread post. I believe that's what you mean?

    I mean like when you follow a link like https://forums.uberent.com/threads/welcome-to-the-new-forums.50564/page-10#post-775267 which is the one you just posted, it's not at the top, it's just sorta in the middle.

    actually in that case, it does bring it to the top. idk. more times than not it isn't at the top. like when you're refering to when someone said something in an old thread and you want to link them to it.

    I myself don't block avatars. They identify people for me faster than reading their name.

    All cat avatars must be eliminated.

    The point of that link is to take you to that exact post, not the page the post is on.

    Try taking the #post-775267 off the link. It'll work as you want now.

    I don't want the top of the page to be shown. I want the post linked to be at the top of the page. With the example I gave Deadstretch it worked, but more times than not it doesn't. I'm dumb, so I can't explain it any better.

    Just updated the old to new forum redirect rules a little to also account for category-links as well as post links, could you guys test it out and find me more broken links which would be worthwhile to fix?

    For example: http://forums.uberent.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=36
