Re: ITT: Pretend we are still writing in osu! OT
it's not the program's fault you can't figure out how to use it ;]
in other news that interest approximately nobody, osu!forum seem to be finally going down the path of the redesign - a few weeks ago edit function was removed from old site and in the past few days an ass ugly button has been added in to constantly allow swapping back and forth
this might have some effect on the demographics of tuuba but it might very easily not

Re: ITT: Pretend we are still writing in osu! OT
edit function was removed from old site
Ah yes, the old "why aint people using our new layout? Its better right? Wait its not? I got a solution... MAKE THE OTHER WORSE!"
As opposed to improving the new one so its actually worthy of replacing the old. Webdesign2017-18 everyone: New stupid concepts that are both inefficent and user unfriendly (like infinite scrolling, building a mobile phone design... except its intented for PC, etc...) and refusing to accept that noone actually wants that shit, so clearly we must not change our ways but destroy the old.
Life is like a box of chocolates.

Re: ITT: Pretend we are still writing in osu! OT
infinite scroll is good if implemented well though
infinite scroll stops being good when you have a thread longer than say 30-40 posts, which there is no shortage of in osuforums

Re: ITT: Pretend we are still writing in osu! OT
i'm assuming you mean finding a specific post or time period in the thread? if you can't it's implemented like shit. i don't know how osu!forums have implemented it

Re: ITT: Pretend we are still writing in osu! OT
nah I just mean it gets absolutely ridiculous and bulky to navigate the thread. for example, lolcow (an imageboard) has a post limit of 1200 per thread, threads balloon to an enormous size, and this is a page without fancy interactive design beyond 'hover to see image previews'. example here: https://lolcow.farm/pt/res/494863.html (site is 18+ and may contain partially nude people and other things you might disagree with)
now think about o!forums, where ITT currently has 51852 posts, in shitty forum-type formatting which bulks the page up about twice as fast.
however, like you pointed out, if you feel like going to find something that was posted 2 weeks ago, as I did just then for the sake of this post, your options are along the lines of hoping you get the approximate post number right, or scrolling and scrolling and scrolling (and no, it doesn't look like they've implemented any kind of un-loading part of the page when you get far enough from it, so eventually shittier browsers will start kicking the bucket from the amount of content you have open).
btw aurani your sig is broken in the new forums if you care, I think they're enforcing a set sig height and yours goes past that

Re: ITT: Pretend we are still writing in osu! OT
there's a few people I wouldn't mind seeing be more active here
tbqh I'd just like more activity here in general, as long as it had even the slightest bit of thought behind it (so no outright spam basically)

Re: ITT: Pretend we are still writing in osu! OT
Aside from not being a modern web 3.0 bullshit infinite scroll javascript hell, we don't really have other selling points aside from "we're active too", and the latter is only true if we're actually active.
Activity breeds activity and all that, it's a weird catch22 loop.
