This is the UtaForum 4.0 Beta™ transition thread.

Here we will document known issues with the XenForo transition and any bugs/issues you encounter as part of our open Beta. Feel free to reply with any feedback or reports of oddness as a part of our transition.

Known Issues:
  • Private Messages
    A total mess. XenForo imported the PMs but duplicated many of them and unlinked some of the reply threads. Not sure if these can be fixed.
  • Permission Errors
    I have fixed what I have encountered but certain boards/nodes have weird permissions. Report any oddness you encounter. It is likely a permission related issue.
  • Custom Profile Fields
    The custom profile fields ported from MyBB do not yet display in user profiles.
The To-Do List:
  • Defoko Default Skin
  • Speaking of Defoko we need to re-implement everyone's favorite UTAU as our default style until the Voting Token system can be implemented.
  • Add Various Plug-Ins
    As part of our stretch goals we tried to raise money for the various plug-ins. As soon as the Kickstarter funds clear we will move to obtain licences.
Recent Changes
  • Defoko Emoticons
    Our Defoko themed emoticon pack is back.
  • New BB Code & Media Embeds
    View all BB Code here. New Media embeds include Soundcloud, NicoVideo, and much, much, more! There are 50+ supported sites now.
  • Implemented Forum Badge System
    Added various medals related to the Kickstarter that made this possible. View examples in my postbit with current listing of all available here.
  • Implemented Voting Token Bank
    In preparation for the upcoming Skin Voting System I have begun testing of an integrated virtual currency system.
  • Added User Group Flags
    Added user group flags to the postbit so you can easily see both the staff. Along with staff position flags we also have a new "Supporter" flag to mark everyone who has helped contribute to making UtaForum 4.0 possible.

Users with 0 Posts Deleted

Hi! I've noticed with some of the backup posts links that are full addresses(ex. http://www.nicovideo.jp ) cannot be clicked on, however links that are built into the text(like this) are still functional. I'm not sure if it's a backup thing, or if it's a bug or whatever, so I thought I'd mention that.

Edit: It seems to be a backup thing, since the NND link there can be clicked on.

Apparently the boxes in your profile where you can put your tumblr, YouTube, etc. won't accept dashes (-)

@WendytheCreeper that is definitely related to the old content and how it used to auto-render media links.

@Adlez27 Thanks for finding that. Custom profile fields should be fixed!

Latest Changes:
Return of the Defoko Emotes.
Additional XenForo Plug-In Testing

etto... is the home button meant to redirect to MyBB UtaForum? It's a bit annoying when you're trying to find your way ono"

##EDIT: Screw that, you just have to click the "Forums" button insted x3

Alright, looks like our Defoko skin is back! Sweet! :wink:


Also, I have noticed that we no longer have the ability to quote posts, not sure if that's a bug or not.

Edit: Oops, I didn't realize that the reply button did that.

Edit 2: Cool! I didn't know you could like posts here! I haven't been here for an hour and I already love the new forum.

You can link your accounts by going to the "External Accounts" option via your profile options, but the Google link is currently broken. Twitter works, though!

I don't use twitter, but I'll wait for the google link to work.
(omg, quotes don't quote quotes anymore!)

Ain't gonna lie, the forum's got a nice theme though!

Google doesn't seem to work,
I get this message:
401. That’s an error.



Error: invalid_client

That’s all we know.

Hnnn, I wish I could see a full member list so I could welcome all the most recent ones who've joined... but I still see birthdays, so that's nifty!

Yeah, same. It just seems to show the most popular members? That's no good. There should be a complete list somewhere (if that's not too hard to implement)

This is quite a lovely looking skin! It's very clean, smooth and stylish! My only qualm is that the purple text on the black color is a bit of a strain on the eye, so maybe a lighter purple could be used for links? Other than that, this is very wonderful!

Yeah, either lighter or have some kind of trimming colour to make it easyer on the eyes.
