While the new style is great I prefer the old one, any way to change it?

[Yan2295]

I think there's a problem with permissions for my role, I can't reply to threads in the News forum.

[Slonitram]

How do you embed images with this new layout? They just remain as links when I try to do it.

The button to preview a topic has been removed?

You can preview a topic by hovering your mouse over the topic title, if you're using a PC

I can't see my messages in plain-text mode, with BBCode markers, anymore.

BBcode doesn't exist anymore since IPB4, sadly.

 

EDIT: rip signatures too

BBCode exists. Test this was done using b tags. It's just hidden to the user.

 

Signatures are disabled for the time being, not gone forever.

I can't say it's true as I can easily type

[b]this[/b]

to get this

[S.A.C.]

Change the layout.

You can paste BBCode into the editor and it will still display as intended, but the option of a Plain Text Editor has been removed in this software version so there is no way of using the editor to see the post code outside of pasting or typing the code in when making a new post.

[Yan2295]

Yeah but you can't go to plain text mode is what I meant.

just letting the admins know GTA is not an option on the "Favorite R* game" on the profile option.

Because there's a "Favorite GTA" field.

[Rikka]

And I think that's a problem because, for instance, my "About Me" (which isn't about me at all) is bugged, half of it is striked and I can't see anywhere in the text the S button pressed.

Just don't tell me this will stay like this, or that i'm gonna have to do all these tables from scratch like the last time when forum was updated back in 2013-2014. xD

Spoiler

The other issue is that pinned topics aren't as separated from regular ones as they used to, this pin is barely noticeable comparing to the old look.

Edit: Also, what is the recommended size of a cover pic? It's nowhere to be seen in my profile.

Your cover pic will always auto resize.

So, for those who have problems with image posting, [ img = url here ] (no space between brackets) is what I'm using for now, though it isn't very practical since the images themselves can only be seen in preview mode.  I sincerely hope it doesn't stay like this.

this is gonna take a few days to adjust but I like how it looks, bugs and tings obviously will be fixed in due course, I'm sure.

Not sure if you're posting from mobile, but on my end if I paste in an image link from Imgur, the editor will automatically convert it to an embedded image.

[Rikka]

Ugh, as I see by simply Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-, there's no way I'll make something decent, if the aspect ratio changes between ~16:9 and… ∞:1 - it always will look okay on mobiles and terrible on PCs or vice versa. Can I at least see in the near future the option to disable this in a way Facebook does?

Oh, so that's how you do it. That's strange, I did it earlier on my computer and the link didn't automatically convert. Must've done something wrong. Thanks, though.

will the lilac background act as a header for custom images?

[Raavi]

Yes, it will. Please hold tight while we enable it for all member groups.
