"Yes, yes ... all according to plan."
Now charts, Lyte, charts. Where do the forums stand?
According to my polls, which were drafted through reverse osmosis and unbiased sampling throughout the Nebula, Toxicity on the forums has reached 43.292% up by a 2/5 π Radians, QQ has risen to 302.14% , Quality threads have been all but wiped out, threads complaining about bans have --
Enough. This is perfect, perfect.
Phreak, Jatt, do you say we proceed accordingly?
As I thought. Hippalus, are the forums ready to be initiated?
Hey guys, Goodrice from General Discussion here :).
If you haven't already, you can read the rest of this story here on the old boards.
As request by Riot Tamat, I attempted to move the complete story over to these forums. Unfortunately, I ran into some problems pretty quickly.
Initially the drag and drop file uploading looked great! The biggest issue was that it simply refused to work for me ;_;. Dragging the files (which were .jpg's) over the upload area yielded me a crossed out circle cursor, and dropping them gave no effect.
I thought no problem, I can just manually upload them, the same way I did on the old forums. To my dismay, I was limited to 4 files; and despite looking at the formatting post on Miscellaneous, I couldn't figure out how to attach them to the actual post as pictures. Instead, I had to upload the ones used in this short segment to puush, and then attach them from there as links.
Additionally, Soundcloud embedding forced you to either open the Soundcloud in a new window, or have it play on the forums but pop-up and prevent you from scrolling down or viewing the story simultaneously.
For an example, this was the music I used in the first segment of my story. Clicking on it here would not allow you to listen to the music while reading the remainder of my thread, unless you open it in a separate tab.
Edit: I was mistaken. It's only this case in terms of comments, and works fine in full posts.
I was also unable to figure out how to highlight text in a manner similar to this, although I am sure an option exists.
Overall, the new boards look great. I mean really, it seems like alot of effort went into graphic design, and the layout is sleek and less cluttered. Based on the formatting thread in Miscellaneous, it appears like there's some great new options. While it would be difficult to impossible for me to create a story here, **I realize that the community that makes posts similar to mine is an extreme minority that seems to be shrinking. ** **I am by no means asking for catering **, and am just giving feedback based off my personal experience as requested.
Ultimately, I know that you guys hope to move away from the off-topic threads that flood GD, and towards a forum community that's primarily geared towards League discussions; for which these forums seems fully adequate to suit.
When I make another story, I'll do my best to post it here individually as well. Thanks for the email Tamat, and have a great day guys :D.
