THE NEW TEMPLE OF ZEUS FORUMS ARE NOW LIVE!

This is another thing. I would like to respond to just the first part of your message and quote just that part. But it looks like there is no way to edit what I am quoting. There is no [ quote] and [ /quote] text shown for me to move or edit to change what is quoted.

If these bracket codes are no longer shown, are they still used? Are they still functional? I use the things like bold, quote, resize, and color change very often, especially the bold. And I never push the buttons, I just type the [ b] and [ /b] or whatever it is I'm doing.

The original thing I wanted to say before I found that other problem, is that the new preview is nearly entirely unusable for me. It shows nearly black words on top of a black background, which I am only able to see now because I'm in a dark room and viewing a bright screen. Every day I am in various different lighting conditions including bright sunlight, and I can see that this text will be impossible to view in most of those conditions.

Another great function of the seperate page for writing a reply, is that it is isolated in its own place and it is saved there. If I am interrupted, I may have to put away my device in the middle of writing something. And when I have time later, it will still be on that preview page and have saved what I wrote. And if some button gets pushed while in my pocket or if the screen turns on somehow, there is very little risk of any buttons accidentally being pushed on the old preview page because it was very simple and had few buttons. With the new comments now being in the same page as the topic, now there are a hundred buttons and links all over the page that could accidentally be pressed when I'm in the middle of trying to write something. It just looks like writings will become lost, or will accidentally be attached as responses to the wrong people, or may even end up on a completely different topic or page.

I don't mean to sound like I don't respect the enormous amount of work that people have done. But I can't help to be disappointed to see functionality be highly degraded and to have basic features either be made much more difficult to use, or even entirely removed. I would rather have something that looks simple and is easy to use instead of something that looks more complicated with a hundred pictures and buttons everywhere, but is not able to be used in a simple or easy way. And when "fixing" something does much worse damage than leaving it how it was.

Yeah there are some minor coloring issues. Change to the dark mode using the lightbulb near your username, or go into your preferences and change the theme. Should be easy to read.

Give it some time, the abilities and good things will highlight themselves. It's quite the shock to have to use a different platform and it's normal one can have certain issues when starting out. But eventually it will look normal.

In regards to features, make sure they are really missing, instead of thinking that they are. Basically everything that existed before exists on these forums.

We will have to do styling and color/theme upgrades and other upgrades. We will address things as much as we can.

I think we need a new forum guide.

I am unable to view on the home screen everything from "Important Articles" all the way to the bottom where it says forum statistics. Everything is blank but when I hover my mouse over the blank area, the mouse icon change and I can click on the invisible letters to send me to the page. I am using Pale Moon browser as I read it is quite safe. I am not sure if it is the browser or maybe the extension that does this.
Tested on phone and different browser that I do not use for ToZ and everything works normally.
Couldn't attach image because it says the server ran into some error.

We will address this, just give us sometime to get everything in order. After this, everything will make more sense. Even to me this is very new here, that's way different than the older forums. Make sure to not fear to make some research around. Press those buttons and see what they do and so on.

Strange, we will look into this. Please keep reporting any bugs or inconveniences, and we will look into solving them.

Okay , it seems that I can post images from my other browser, then I think it might be the browser issue, but this is how the home page looks, both in light and dark themes.
If nothing, will soon look into switching to another safe option, no worries!

I'm already in love with the new format. Excellent job! 🛠️

Thank you, I really enjoy this. Surely there is work to be done, but that is expected with all advancements.

I am using a mobile device, so maybe there are options that you see that I don't have. There is a button that looks like a page of paper and a magnifying glass, and this just turns the text box to be dark grey letters on a black background.

I was freaking out earlier thinking the enemy was attacking the forums. I literally sent an email to JG Blitzkrieg and HP Zevios Metathronos trying to find out what was going on.

You've done an amazing job! Thank you all. I can't wait to try out all the new features

"Greetings and Welcome to our New Community Forums!

We have decided that one way to overcome any issues presenting themselves with the previous forums, was not only to solve them, but to fully upgrade our forums.

The ToZ has now a new forum, better than ever before, that is beautiful, response and modern. Everyone is encouraged to login and begin posting and learning on the new forum.

Do not be afraid to experiment! Also, we are aware there have to be a lot of changes/improvements on the layout and everything that has to do with the forum. We are putting in the work to make it happen simultaneously as everyone accommodates.

-Posts, avatars, user accounts are as they were before.
-Your passwords are as they were before.
-Community is as before.
-Improved theme, light and dark theme as per your choice.

Stay tuned as we increase and improve everything that has to do with the forum experience. We know certain things need improvements.

Meanwhile:

1. Artists/Designers - Those with high art skills such as creating banners, backgrounds and so on, could message me at [ email redacted ]
2. Programmers/Web Designers - We need more programmers and others who have valuable skills to join the designing efforts under the official group of ToZ Coding. That will do wonders for the community.

I want to thank ApolloAbove [JG] for the fact that we worked together to get everything working and upgraded; but we have a lot more work to do. For troubleshooting logins on other problems, contact him at [ email redacted ]"

I want to say, with time, I have witnessed the ToZ evolving and this is a source of immense pleasure the point it reached today!
The ToZ website is now much better organized, the new forum is advanced and modern, there is an organized Clergy and everything is taking the form of a very well shaped Empire with rules, responsibilities, and an infinite sea of knowledge and positive effort that support the Community.
It seems the ToZ had more problems and a less "firm" organization before - despite the immense effort and courage of the first HPs, collaborators, HP Pythia herself that had to start up the ToZ standing still in the middle of a spiritual earthquake. Today it is showing a granitic organized base holding it up, that is a clear sign of our fiirm establishment on Earth to further spread Satanic Knowledge, Energy and Power.
This reminds me the Pyramids, on the spiritual side.

Very and very well done !!!

The new forum looks amazing and it appears that there is a lot of potential for expansion. I'm very excited for this. Thank you HP Zevios Metathronos and JG ApolloAbove for these massive efforts.

Great changes, its so good

It looks much more aesthetic than ever before and I see there are new features as well, and this makes it even more better.

Thank you for this work, High Priest Zevios Metathronos and JG ApolloAbove!

I love the new format! However it's going to take me a few minutes to learn to get used to this🙂

This is awesome!! Thank you both so much for your hard work to bring us all such amazing news and work! :)

Thank you to everyone who contributed

Speechless! I don't know how you manage to do this in one day but that is impressive!
Sure not everyone will like this, it's entirely different of what we are used to, but I see a ton of space for improvements, compared to the other platform, it was basically complete.

My biggest red flag is that I can't use uMatrix addon, I liked that there was no "bloat" in the previous forums. And I'm not favor of that basically every ToZ Site is now "bloated" I'm not sure if this is a privacy/security breach, but besides this, I like it.

As always, I'll share my ideas for improvements:
-ToZ designed emojis: it looks like these are facebook emojis or something, I don't like them. If it's possible, we should re-design these.

-more emojis: thumbs down, hearth (this is my most wanted one, if I really like a post, I won't "thumbs up" it, but I rather put a hearth. For me, the thumbs up is phlegmatic.

-a different liking design: I think there should be a "like" and "dislike" bottom, and a "reaction" button where you can react to it with emojis. Also, Odysee made a very unique design for this, if a comment gets too much dislike on odysee it get's "squashed" which makes the comment blank, and you can only read it if you want (by clicking on a button).

-more themes: Yes we finally have a dark theme, thank you, but as I said I don't like gray themes, and this is gray. There could be 3 categories of themes: light, dark, and mixed. One of the dark themes should be, really, mostly be BLACK, not mostly be gray. The mixed could be that some elements are white/light color, some are not. But this is not necesarry, I'm okay if there is only a black theme added.

-Unique ToZ forum banner/icon: I really don't know how this is called but in the browser, on the tab it says "THE NEW TEMPLE OF ZEUS FORUM", and it shows an icon next to it. This icon is the same for templeofzeus.org, so if it's possible it should be changed so I can differentiate the two.

I have not explored yet, and simply, not used the forums, so I'll definitely share more ideas.

And a question: Before the forum was down, I posted a lot of replies, which did not get approved than. Did they got approved? Are they lost? Because I got no notification from them.
