THE NEW TEMPLE OF ZEUS FORUMS ARE NOW LIVE!

My original account Personal Growth seems to have been completely wiped out. I first joined with Tyrone1978 but soon set up Personal Growth. Now I see Tyrone1978 has like 974 messages when it was inactive. And my reinstated Personal Growth which I set up again even accepted the same password.

Log in with your original username (Tyrone1978), request the name change to what you did change it to before (Personal Growth).

Look at the posts by your previous username, are they the ones you made with "Personal Growth"? If so, then what I wrote above will make more sense.

Usernames were just reverted back before changes.

Can members who used to be off mod (and didn't abuse it) get it back?

Lovely. I have to say that I did love the old forum style a lot as someone who's used the forums that way for a long time and the same applies to our main website - but I totally understand the needed modernization to be ready for the fresh blood that's inevitably going to pump more and more into the great collective organism that is us.

I have a few humble suggestions:

Since the forums have been modernized, why not add more customization options on the User's end? Such as text size and perhaps font. Since we have done the dark theme already, this is the logical next step!

A setting to hide the top bar (especially if we can also have the option for a little button or something to bring it back down) would be great, for the purposes of privacy.

Everything else seems great for now, I've just barely begun to explore the revamped forum.

Also, if either of my suggestions are already present in some form, I do apologize. I am currently only able to check on a mobile device for now, and I am reporting this based on my experience with the Preferences menu.

Thank you HP Zevios Metathronos and Guardian ApolloAbove for your incredible revamp. Salutations to both of you and those who have contributed even a single brick to Satan's Great Temple!

May Father Zeus bless this ancient-forums forever and give us more knowledge and guide us. ❤️

I just easily changed my profile picture, no need to resize . So cool like a flying Amon Ra

Yes, posting full profile pictures is such a big freedom now, it is amazing!

The previous forum was getting slower than usual for about the last 2 weeks. I noticed this too. I know this was a big reason why everything was just changed to try to make it faster.

All I can say is for me, this new one seems like every page takes at least 10 times longer to load than the old one. There is such an enormous increase of features and components on every page now, and we have to wait for all of these things to all finish loading before the page is shown correctly. Maybe people are using computers with very fast internet connection so they don't notice this, but for me it feels like it takes forever for each page to load.

Some technical inquiries; I used to possess the ability to delete my own posts. Not that I've ever done it, but the option was available to me. There would be an X button at the top right of my post, and it presumably would have allowed me to remove it. However, this option is no longer there. Was this something everyone had, too, or was it part of a particular privilege of sorts?

Also, the "Preview" button while writing posts, does not seem to perform any action for me. Previously, it had allowed us to see precisely how our post would appear if it were publicly visible, allowing us to simulate exactly how others would view it. I greatly appreciated that element, and would hope to be able to utilize it again.

But regardless, everything else is incredible, and I truly admire the current interface. I strongly applaud the extensive efforts of everyone who has contributed (and is still contributing) to creating the perfect environment for this sacred abode.

"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 ]"

There were some posting limitations and so on put in place, we were not aware of this; now these are removed.

We are working to solve everything and to make the experience here the best it has ever been.

I don't think the functionality is as degraded as you may be assuming. There are trade-offs with everything, but you have to look at the sum total change.

Regarding your specific concerns:

• You can still type unicode and it translates correctly, or toggle your view with the "Toggle BB code" button

• Text color of quoted passages can be changed to suit individual needs, as can the text itself be modified or deleted

• You can quickly save drafts of your replies, then just close the page or screen.

Thanks for telling me. I am glad to see the concept of the ToZ forums being applied.

And the reactions are cool 😎.

I loved it and was surprised as well. We are accepted in the mainstream and that is BIG to me and makes my heart swell. It's positive to see that and this amazing convenient and beautiful new forum we have!

I'm at a loss of words about how impressive and beautiful the new forum improvement is! Very fluid to use and customize. I love the light/dark mode! Very beautiful all around!

You are a valuable member here, are you able to get better internet? And you mentioned in another post that you are here from a phone, are you able to get a tablet or notebook, if not a laptop?

I just found out all my bookmarks are gone now.

I have good internet and multiple computers at home, but I spend most of my time away from home. I am always going to many different locations. So most of my time I'm using a phone, and the internet service is usually fine but is often not strong.
