A new IGS Renovation

[Deitra_Vess]

Well said, not everything new is bad, just different usually.

Wait a minute… you can’t see how many likes someone has from a glance! HOW WILL WE KNOW WHO IS BEST?

Speaking of good changes…

[Deitra_Vess]

click their name, then click their name on the pop up, says likes recieved

[Lasairiona_Raske]

Well, I’m sufficiently amused.

[Valerie_Valate]

First it called me “basic”. Now it says I’m “certified”.

[Jaret_Victorian]

Certified IGS posters, that’s a thing now?

[Aria_Jenneth]

… I’m “incensed.”

Sort of. I mean, some of the features are nice, but, there doesn’t seem to be a way to make sigs, and …

@discobot why is this a thing?

[discobot]

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

[Aria_Jenneth]

SEE?!

[Mizhara_Del_thul]

@Aria_Jenneth

SEE?!

St… stop poking it!

… but yeah, there’s significant room for improvement. I’ve found a plug-in that at least doesn’t compress the damn place into a third of my display, but there’ll be limitations to just how much you can hack together usefulness on these boards I suspect.

[Rhoxy_Runekin]

personally… I like @Discobot.
He showed me a cool captain barbara

[discobot]

Ask again later

Thank goddess… by which I mean Claudia, of course, not the empty-threats of the pretender.

[Aria_Jenneth]

Are sigs so awful?

And were all the emojis necessary? A lot of them seem … well … weird. Was whoever designed this place trying to lighten up our image?

Most of the furriers are headache-inducing and seem like they might cause epilepsy in sensitive people. Especially looking at the full panel of them.

This should be a new home. Instead …

(I’m sure I’ll get used to it, but, first impressions aren’t doing it favors.)

@Aria_Jenneth

Are sigs so awful?

Judging by the ones on the old IGS? Yes.

@Aria_Jenneth

Sigs are fine, if they have some limitations on them. (Image sizes, character count, etc)

Because they’re so fun and cute!
Yes, I am sufficiently old and stodgy that typing out the line above had my brain shriveling in horror and trying to escape through my ears rather than be subjected to the indignity. It’s not a popular opinion these days, but the cluster was better off when we moved away from weird bloody pictograms for communication and developed actual language. This added nothing but horror and moron appeasement to the boards. [quote=“Aria_Jenneth, post:79, topic:3662”]

It’s not a bad thing. Last version of IGS was extremely formal and that provoked toxicity. You can’t be toxic when you have such bright emoticons.

Also, testing

… we’ll see.

I believe this is some kind of pictorial representation of Aria, or possibly another person, going on some kind of stabby rampage through a cornfield.

Which would certainly affect grain prices !
