TV Tropes 1.3 Released!

Go To

Hey tropers, the day has arrived. If you were one of our Kickstarter donators last year you've probably seen us tinkering with a new design for months. Within the next couple hours (depending on how fast your DNS updates you'll start hitting our new servers with the updated version of TV Tropes). A huge thanks to those of you who have been monitoring it and giving us feedback throughout the development process. Some of the new features include:

- Updated design throughout for a cleaner browsing experience
- One click sign in with Facebook
- Random Shuffle button to stay on a namespace (hit Random Media then the Shuffle button to randomize that namespace)
- Browse Watchlist in an image view
- History page now highlights sentences that were deleted/added to make it easier to review changes
- New image uploader with built in crop function
- New About Us page so you can see who we are.
- Contact Us form
- Trope Depictions on the home page (artists can submit their own comic to go with a trope)
- Bug List page Query Bugs (and Query Wishlist for tech wishes) to organize and track bugs on the site.

Ok. Let the feedback begin. (See Anxiety Tropes for my current feelings)

Notes:
- Please do not bother asking for the old design to come back. The lease of the old servers did expire at the day of the changeover, the new ones cannot run the old design.
- You can move the sidebar to the left by going into your profile and selecting Lefthand Sidebar.

T He YMMV and Trivia tags should be removed from their correct entries,like in the old format. It's rather distracting having the scales and question marks all over the pages.

Serious Feedback 3: The stickied post at the top of forum threads? Yeah, white text on a white background when in Night Mode. It's a terrible eyesore. Can we get that fixed?

(At least, in the instance of this thread. It might have something to do with an admin post or somesuch. Have had similar issues before with Night Mode and mod/admin posts.)

Trash, negative infinity stars, ruined forever. Didn't need a facebook sign in thing, the random buttons suck, the color is horrible, the sidebar on the right is way too big, the subpage font is really bad, the tab picture is bad (It's hard for me to see on chrome since it's way too light- the old one contrasted nicely.), no classic view, some idiot decided to make it impossible to switch back to the old version, search bar is too far right, it looks like it's trying to be fresh and new when it didn't have to be, scales and question marks on ymmv and trivia, and considering it's only been active for a couple days that's quite impressive. Please just change it back somehow. Or how about don't delete the old layout next time? Assuming the "old one" won't be this one. Because this one is absolutely horrible. [nja].

nope.

[up][up] It's been reported multiple times, for the record.

Was the holler button fixed, btw?

It does work for me. Did you try to send one?

No. Was just asking. I'll holler your post to test.

Finaly checked out Prime32's userstyle. For those who can't for whatever reason, it looks like this.

I think it's pretty nice looking. I wouldn't mind if the site looked like that.

When typing in the search bars for the forums, no text appears, and the cursor appears to switch to superscript, or moves up half a line, not sure which.

When an image is uploaded, will it go directly on the page now?

@Mr Squids: Pretty much everything you said has already been adressed multiple times if you had bothered to read the rest of the thread. The old server is gone, there is no way to go back to Classic however anyone may feel about that, and the mods are working on it. The old code was a mess, apparently, and we've been told that this version is much better. Visual changes will happen later, but for now everyone just has to be patient. EDIT: I do hate the black spoulers though, they remind me of 4chan.

@Tropers Anonymous: Do you really expect anyone who wants to comment here to read 35 pages of comments before adding their opinions?

@daftinquisitor I did. These complaints aren't even buried on page 1 though, literally hundreds of posts have said these exact things. All it does is piss the mods off and unnecessarily clog the thread up.

Seconding that everything is slow now. I guess that's from the video ads.

They re added the bottom bar! I'll take a second to thank whoever did that, much more convenient.

Thank you for the bottom bar. That's amazing. Can't wait till the profile bugs get fixed as well. I want to reclick "Accept Shared Avatars". XD

I, too, would like to observe this moment of useless repetition to praise the return of the bottom bar. smile

Now, if the many instances of contrast-less illegibility in Night Mode could be rectified...

i care but i'm restless, i'm here but i'm really gone, i'm wrong and i'm sorry, baby
