Made a few site updates... a couple minor things I've noticed (visual) needing fixed. If not fixed tonight, will be completed tomorrow. I gotta wake up in 4 hours from now... -_-

Can we have our "New content" back? The current "Unread content" thing is hell to navigate, and bad enough to make me just not bother at all... Some on IRC also complained about it, and I can imagine this causing a serious drop in activity.

At the moment, the newest update to IPB has gotten rid of the "New Content" feature all together and replaced it with the "Unread Content".  We'll continue to investigate this and look into making sure that everything's fixed however.

Agreed, the removal of "new content"-feature was a really bad move on IPB's part. I don't get it. The current way of getting new content is really annoying; removing the "new content"-feature makes no sense to me.

I don't even know how I managed to find this, I think I clicked the RSS button in frustration and noticed it was someone complaining about "new content" going missing, so I decided to try to find the post and add my cries of wtf (The RSS feature is pretty garbled too btw). These IPB people are clearly moving away from being "forum" software and becoming .. something else, I don't know what. Maybe it's time to look for new software?


No offense, sorry, but every update has made vpsb harder to navigate/use/contribute to, for this guy at least. I'm not a huge poster but I did make a point of keeping up on threads, until the last few months. If I'm the only one who's using the forum less, then don't mind me, but man even shitty vanilla is preferable to this :(


Thanks, sorry.

Not a problem @zed!  We'd love to hear what anyone else has to say about the changes.


Our concern with switching to a brand new forum software is that it's not something we can easily move over to without risking something.  In addition, its something we will be looking into but we can't immediately switch to anytime soon since we need to trial a few other software and such.  While I personally would love for us to be off IPB, there isn't a final solution that works for everything.  I'll talk with the rest of the Admin team about this and will try to continue the discussion. 


Thanks to everyone for your input!

I actually like https://vpsboard.com/discover/unread/ better... But unless I downgrade back to versions with security flaws, no, the old one can't come back.


I can't keep running old versions to prevent any change, and switching platforms to something else isn't really an option either unfortunately. So I am sticking with IPB now and updating the software when it's recommended to do so, even if it means some things may change slightly.

If you could fix the mobile theme, I would be ecstatic. Something has changed with the top ad banner, and it is breaking out of the theme size and making the site hell to use on the go.


Other than that, I'll learn all the new stuff.

Happening here also.

It appears that adding element { overflow: hidden; } to the element's style will fix the issue. I tested with Chrome dev tools, and it reloaded properly for me. It didn't appear to create an issue on the normal site either.

I understand, and at the end of the day it's your house. I'll check back now and then to see if anything's changed, thanks for listening to my mewling.

I do not own a working mobile device to check the mobile theme, I do apologize. My phone has been broke for weeks and I've not been able to replace it yet. I also don't own a tablet.


Once I get it replaced I'll be able to check this out in more detail.

It's not. I don't know why but that's all fucked up too. For me this is what the toolbar looks like. @HalfEatenPie reported something similar in the admin section and this is the response/image I showed him. His complaint was that the 'Link' icon was a gear...

IPB is trying to destroy me, I swear it.

Y'all still having issues with the editor icons? I can't replicate the error on my end so I can't tell if it's "fixed" or not. Please let me know.
