Official complain about the new forum layout thread

[_Insert_Name_Here]

Cross-post myself:
**WHY THE FLYING FUCK HAS VANILLA NOT FIXED THE SHITTY ASS HACK WHEREIN YOU CAN LOG IN AS UNKNOWN USER AND HACK LEGENDARY OLD POSTS?

IT IS ABSOLUTE FUCKING BULLSHIT THAT A YEAR LATER BOTS CAN STILL LOG IN AND DESTROY THREADS THAT HELPED BRING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

To whit:

This is fucking embarrassingly bad programming by whomever the fuck wrote this. Fucking amateur hour.**

@KasperIsager‌ pls. (if he’s still around).

And I’d like a reply for this, from SRK, not from Vanilla:

The new forum broke the character sub-forums.
In my case I’m specifically talking about the 3rd Strike Character forums:
There’s no way of telling if there’s been a new post in a character sub forum, since they don’t get marked in the index when someone posts a new comment.
(If there’s a new post in the general 3rd Strike forum, all the sub-forums in the index light up as if there’s been in a new post in them too. And they all get unmarked when you’ve read the new posts in the general 3S board.)
This problem has made the character forums useless, since no one can follow up on questions or anything.

I’ve tried to send this to the Vanilla tech guy months ago, but that did nothing.

^-- I suggested to @MrWizard‌ that we fold all the character sub-forums for second tier games into the main “Character Specific” forum. That’d leave it as the Character-Specific threads forum. Might be slightly more usable, I don’t know. :\

  For example.

But then again there’s hundreds of threads in those players, so that’s probably a bad plan at this late date. :\

[Mitri_MF]

For a bypass I would suggest moving the main Q&A / guide thread from each character to the general 3S forum, and archiving / locking the other threads in the character specific boards.
Thanks for the reply.

Soooooo…

So maybe that hole is finally fixed?

And the Get To Know A Negro Better thread, the reason half of the Seattle crew ever posted on SRK, appears to be gone here. Huh. That’s terrible. :sad:

We notified Vanilla to fix the security hole.

Can you notify them that SRK is switching away from Vanilla

Is there a reason that I can’t find the MK forum on the main forum index? I can access it if i use a direct link but there is no link on the index page.

It’s down in the Strategy Zone with the rest of the other fighters.

Posted this in the problems thread earlier but posting it here too just in case. The vanilla sf4 subforum is located under the mvc3 forum for some reason.

Is there a way to make notifications cease on the mobile site only? I’m fine with them on the desktop, of course, but on my phone they can practically eat the screen.

A reminder, after 4 months:

Status update?
