[SR$2k Dev Thread] I'll set up an SRK successor board if you guys need one

Migration has begun.

srk2.com welcomes you! <3

Nice to know a solid back up is in place.

@bchan009 Any chance with the move to the other software we can get a new title like #survivor or refugee? Also keep up the great work loving the themes!

Sure – it’s certainly possible! I’ll look into it later.

The reactions/ranking system has a badge feature that I could use to give people ‘survivor/refugee/og’ badges. The only issue is that this system is kinda wonky so I’ll probably wait a bit before implementing it. I’m still looking into alternatives to the reaction system so we’ll see how things go down the road.

  • More theme tweaks and bug fixes
  • Ranking system tweaks

We’re almost at 50 users! =)

Still holding out for my KoF 97 Orochi Stage theme

Patience is a virtue. I gotta drip feed the new themes. Nobody wants someone who blows their load right away. <3

Well, when you put it that way… oh baby!

More theme fixes! I’m seriously running out of things to fix/upgrade at this point. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.

Can’t edit the main post anymore so I’ll just have to post updates at the end.

The site is steadily growing, and by now we’ve passed the 50 member mark! :grin:

If you’re logged in, you can now access the public member list using the ‘members’ button in the upper right. Please note that this button is only available on the desktop site. If you’re on mobile, you can access the page by going here:

Hope everyone is enjoying the forums!

In the next few days we may be moving to INVISION COMMUNITY (Invision Power Board).

I have already purchased the software and am experimenting with it right now.

Some advantages:

  1. Reactions/ranks built-in. No need for plugins which break every upgrade.
  2. Share any post over social media
  3. Room to grow (user blogs, paid subscriptions, etc.)
  4. User profiles with more customization options

I’ve already tested importing from Vanilla and everything works. If I can make the site look how I want we will be moving over to the new software soon. Look out for more updates. =)

Edit: Gonna put this on hold for a little bit. Once things settle down I’ll revisit this.

Membership is rising! Welcome to all the new members!

I’ve also updated the emoji set the forum uses. This set is bigger:

Minor theme fixes. Avatar display size has been increased. Avatars are now scaled differently. If you have a rectangular avatar (horizontal), it will no longer be squashed vertically. If your avatar is rectangular (vertical), it will still be squashed down to size.

Obviously for best results use a square image. Hopefully these changes will make it easier to see everyone’s sick avatars. :smile:

Work is progressing smoothly on the new version of the site. I think you guys will be happy with the new look. :smile:

We’ve moved over to Invision Community (Invision Power Board if you’re old school).

There’s some stuff that still needs polish but here are some neat features:

  • Reactions built in (no wonky plugins that break)
  • More profile customization options! (room for gamertags, games you play, etc.)
  • Big fat avatars
  • Polls!
  • Better, more flexible mobile theme
  • Customizable emoticons (more coming soon once I fix everything else)
  • Room for added features and expansion down the road

I’ll be running around fixing all sorts of stuff for the next few days.

Lots of theme tweaks and fixes. Most issues people had with the presentation should be taken care of now. Will do a bit more over the next few days but this is mostly what the site will look like unless someone finds some glaring issue.
