The New-Look SpursTalk

I've spent much of the last month working on this SpursTalk upgrade ... and it's finally ready to go live. I'm expecting there to be a lot of bugs and a lot of things that don't look/work right. Please post in this thread to alert me to anything you find. Also let me know if you have any questions about the new functionality.

My goal was to create a clean design with intuitive features. There's going to be an adjustment period for everyone but I think this is an important step in the right direction for SpursTalk. Everything is a lot more powerful and it gives us more room to grow.

Again, there are going to be bugs and the forum is very likely going to be slow as we fine tune everything -- I apologize in advance. I'll be actively fixing anything that pops up while also continuing to add more features. There's actually a lot more in store but we're doing it small steps to make sure that nothing breaks along the way

Special thanks to Kori Ellis, Muki and Slomo for making all this possible.







P.S.

I haven't slept in about 30 hours so pardon the typos

I'll keep this second post updated as a FAQ.

How do I post a video?
Click on the video button on the editor and insert the link to the video. Press OK. Supported sites include Hulu, YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Google and facebook.

How do I embed a tweet?

How do I ignore someone's signature?
On the upper right of each poster's signature box, there is a black X. Click that and the signature will disappear.

Will there be alternate skins?
Yes, eventually.

This makeover looks great. The "live" function looks very cool.

I preferred a darker background as before just for eye strain reduction, any chance of alternate skins?

[Kori Ellis]

Testing. Thanks.

Awesome, looks great! Looking forward to it. Appreciate all the work everyone puts in.

It's not turned on yet, but I think it will be cool too.

How do you embed tweets?

The code is [ tweet ] tweetID [ /tweet ] ... without the spaces, of course.

To find the tweetID, get a direct link to a tweet by clicking on the date of the tweet. The URL should look something like this: https://twitter.com/manuginobili/status/251356957368270848

Take that bold string of numbers at the end and put it in the tweet tags.

Oh wow, now we can embed videos from other sites instead of youtube. That's awesome.

Everything looks cool,except the colours imho..

And thanks for the soccer forum

Just curious if it'll be easier to use via a smartphone, like with an app like tapatalk?

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

testing...


The changes will take awhile to get used to. It's nice of ya'll to accomodate our growining sexual population though (soccer forum).

There's a mobile skin now. I haven't tested it though, tbh.

Tapatalk or an alternative is a strong possibility if we can't come up with something workable on our own.
