FAQ: Forum Update: Question & Suggestion Thread

I don't know if this is exactly the right place for me to put this, but I wanted to point out that Minccino's name is misspelled in the dropdown to select your favorite gen v Pokémon (it erroneously has one c and a double n before the o).

Huh, well that's embarassing. I don't think that's ever been touched since it was first set up, so that has to have been there for years and years at this point. Thanks for the heads up. It's now been corrected.
Anyone who previously had it selected may need to reselect it now, since the old value won't be valid anymore.

Is it possible to bring back the previous forum styles from before the Zenforo update/change? There were several I really liked such as the Kalos/XY one and I was wondering what happened to the process/progress of that.

As mentioned in the last update, we're curerently working on a new default style for the forums. That style will be serving as a baseline for all styles going forward, so it should drasticcally reduce the amount of time it takes for us to put a style together. As soon as that's done, we'll be investigating which old styles we can bring back.

So we'll all have to use the default for a while?

No, you'll still be able to use all the styles that the forums currently have. The new default will just be the one that the site defaults to if you've not decided on one. Existing styles will be rebuilt based on it, though bringing back the older styles will take priority.

I'm currently experiencing an issue where I can't select options from the menu above my text that I type. Like, I can't bold, strikethrough, insert media, etcetc. Doing the keyboard combos for those also doesn't help as well.

I also have that problem, I can't use any of those options on my tablet, only on the laptop.

I think I see y'alls problem:

You might have accidently pressed this at some point, and the icon seems to go invisible on your theme.

Just switched and yeah, here's your options menu normally:


And here it is after I click the toggle BB code thingy:

 

[Chevywolf30]

You're exactly right!!!!! Thank you so much!!! Sorry for wasting your time, but, the issue is solved now!!

Not a problem, I'm happy to help! ^w^

Looks like I'll have to check the style settings to see what colours are being picked for the editor. It shouldn't fade into the background like that.

Is there a way to do hovertext on Bulbagarden? I've seen it as an option on other XenForo forums, but it doesn't seem to be an option on Bulbagarden.

 

[Archaic]

Ïf you hover over this text...

...you'll see this message

BB code for it can be found in the help. I'll look into adding a button for it to the editor.

 

[Chevywolf30]

Why is the submissions box listed but private? Should I be able to see this?

 

[Archaic]

More specifically, it's "private" because you can't see the posts others have made in that forum. You only see the drafts that you have submitted, and the replies to those drafts from staff.

So any word on new themes? :> If I remember correctly, we were getting a Legends: Arceus one at some point, or am I misremembering? Or at least new default themes, I may be tired of switching off brown whenever on private/cookie exploding browsing on my phone

 

[Archaic]

They're a little delayed, mostly because I'm currently in the middle of moving house. ^^;

 

[System Error]

Ahh, moving. That's always fun, by which I mean it rarely ever is. Especially the pains of getting electricity, connections, etc. set up at the new place, and sometimes, disconnected at the old place. Hopefully it goes as smoothly as it can!

Sorry for the dumb question. I've searched on preferneces an privacy settings but I cant't find it. Is there an option to hide all avatars?

 

[Snowy]

Is there an option to hide all avatars?

There isn't. If there was an option, it'd be under preferences, content options but the only thing there is the ability to hide signatures.

Bummer. Is there an specific reason for the absence of the option?
