Xenforo Help Thread

[Monsieur Xavier]

We should be able to tap/click the partial image to see it full size, I use iphone/Safari and it worked but just once

Edit : it works much better for me when there is only one picture in the post.

 

[C. Lee]

Yeah, that's what happened to me as well..again. After I disabled the signatures from appearing and saved the settings, the new Blue Xenfro skin given by C.Lee yesterday disappeared and now I'm back to Red SHH default setting.

I shouldn't be changing my settings so quickly, my mistake. If possible, maybe C.Lee can get me the Blue Xenforo skin for the one last time, I don't want to bother him so frequently but since I am having some tough time getting used to these new forums, I have to request him again.

@C.Lee I want the Blue Xenforo skin back again. Please change it one last time. Thanks again.

I changed you and Monsouir Xavier back to blue. At this point don't worry about asking for this....it's very quick and easy to do.

 

[Micromind]

Thanks a lot.

Much appreciated.
Do you know if it will become a feature that we can set ourselves in the future ?

 

[Lily Adler]

I've went back to default skin. I like the vanilla blue, but I heard that my complaints about the default one seem to be rectified at the moment.

 

[Luigi]

I can change people's skin format.....there won't be a sidebar and the colors will change to a light blue. Who ever wants to try this let me know.

Can you please change mine as well?

Just FYI for those struggling to adapt (as I am), I went into my account > preferences & changed the skin to 'SuperHeroHype Liquid'. Now I no longer have to scroll for 30 minutes to get to the end of one of the collapsible sub-categories. It instead shows 2 rows.. so now it only takes 15 minutes.

But at least it looks a bit more like the old main menu in terms of the way it's laid out.. or at least the way I remember it, it does.

yall know how on the old thing next to threads there was an arrow and when you clicked it, it would take you to the most recent posts since the last time you visited the thread? whats the xenforo equivalent of that?

Under the "Last Message" column, select the time that the message was posted. Usually "A Moment Ago" on the very recent posts.

flick, doing that will take you to the last post posted. I think ComicChick is asking about going to the first message unread in a post (which is not necessarily the last most in the thread).

For me, I’ve found just clicking on the thread title (at least of my watched threads) takes me to my first unread post. Also, on the light blue XenForo skin there’s a little blue dot to the left of the thread title that performs the same as on the old board and takes you to the first unread post in the thread (not sure if the default red & blue skin has anything similar)

Hm. That arrow she's talking about from the old board always took me to the last post in the thread. But yeah, just clicking the thread title takes you to the earliest unread post.

 

[ComicChick]

looks to be true! yay

As mentioned, the title will do that if there's an unread post. But there actually is supposed to be something resembling that arrow on Xenforo. It's just not showing up right now for....reasons.



It normally shows up right around that green star I put in. And if you hover your mouse over it right now even though it's not there, the link still is.
But the thread title does the same thing.

Under the "Last Message" column, select the time that the message was posted. Usually "A Moment Ago" on the very recent posts.

This one has been asked a few times so it's worth repeating.

Click where the green arrow is pointing and you'll go to the most recent post in a thread.

How do I get from the forum to the main Hype page? There used to be a link at the bottom of the old forum that took me to the news page. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent now either at the bottom or at the top, as far as I can see.

"news" at the top will take you to the news section of the main page. It's kind of a tab.

 

[Silvermoon]

To add to @SniperHF's post, though, I don't think there's a quick link if you're viewing the boards in the light blue/XenForo skin (unless I'm blind... which I very well could be )

Thanks. I can't actually see that.

Yeah, I am viewing in the light blue skin and can't see that "news" tab. That whole header doesn't appear.

Is there a way for that to be added to the light blue skin?

 

[Lily Adler]

You must ask for a mod to change it for you.

 

[elgaz]

Not a query but just want to say good job on the upgrade, I think it looks fantastic and much more in keeping with the general cosmetics of SHH's main site. I'm fortunate that I'm a mod on another forum running Xenforo so am familiar with it anyhow but in general most users become accustomed to it very quickly and you soon forget what the old forum software even looked like.

 

[Dark Raven]

I don't want it changed. I just want a home button to get to the main site page, as there isn't one on the light blue theme.

Also, how do we unsubscribe from threads in the light blue theme without ignoring them? There doesn't seem to be an unsubscribe button next to the thread like on the old forum.

Look for the link that says Unwatch (not Unsubscribe). Within the thread it should be in the top right:


Or, on your WatchedThreads list you can select the threads, then down at the bottom is a drop down menu to manage what to do with the ones selected and you can select "Stop watching threads":

Thanks for the info and the help!

On a separate topic, did the user names use to be above the avatar on the old forum, with the user title under the avatar? I have a feeling it might've been.

I thought it was User Name, User Title, Avatar, then the stuff like Join Date, Location, Post Count (I could be misremembering though... it was, after all, a whole week ago )

Sorry I totally misread your initial post.

 

[James T. Kirk]

So it's possible (I know, I've tried it) to have an image in your sig. Will it be allowed, though?

So... this?
