Even though he is right, it is still convenient but it seems the highlighting doesn't work well with a touchpad on a notebook under Windows 10. When scrolling the mouse disappears and leaves the background highlighted. After some scrolling around multiple topics keep being highlighted. It is a very tiny cosmetic problem only, though.

I like the new look very much :D

New forum looks great. Took a few minutes to get used to the brighter yellow though ;)

@jeka1900: Maybe the next forum upgrade then? :P
Save game editor XR and CAT/DAT Extractor
Keep in mind that it's still a work in progress although it's taking shape nicely.

If anyone is interested in a new save game editor for X4 and would like to contribute to the creation of one let me know. I do not have sufficient time to create it alone, but if there are enough people who want it and want to contribute we might be able to set something up.

Browsing the forum on a phone (Android), and it's an improvement in very way I can think of.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.

We decided to not release a trailer for the new forum, and make a surprise release instead. There was a little heads-up from BurnIt! though.

Hmm... maybe we need a separate topic for observations?

That's a very strange reaction to a joke. Especially to one that is so obvious, if you talk about a trailer in the forum update topic. ;) An update some of us have been waiting for for about ten years (or less).

Also, I thought we established already that it's not a good idea to release a trailer and announce the release date, thus drawing more attention to the forum, while the forum is still being updated, and may not run as stable as it needs to be.

I know it and understand, it was sarcasm from me. I'm very glad to see updated forum, it's really cool. :roll:

Sarcasm does not translate well over the internet.

An issue for me is that the page number for the threads is over to the right and not under the topic link, leading me to assume there was no pages for the topic untill I realized the page numbers were waaaaaaaay over to the right side of the screen.
Just... another... bug.

Just one thing. The Game registration page title in the user settings is not translated from German, it shows "Spiel Registrierung" instead of "Game Registration" (or "Registazione gioco" in Italian :P )

Edit: MOBILE USERS:

The bbs codes wrap around the text IF YOU HAVE THE TEXT HIGHLIGHTED. So quotes, links, pics, etc need the text highlighted and THEN press the command.

Works great though and is easier, so kudoes there too.

@Hank001
I don't get the problem you are having. The BBCode gets wrapped around your currently marked text. So you can write first, then wrap the text in BBCode. :)

On my Android phone the keyboard automatically appears when only the cursor gets wrapped in BBCode.

Code: Select all
