I haven’t seen any discussion yet on what I consider to be the number 1 issue regarding the new forums: how will we be implementing So Raven into Coin Return?

I don't remember everything that has been revealed, but I feel it is safe to say we are going to have a fun reaction system. Custom emote reactions will not be nearly the problem they have been on Vanilla.

regarding the new forums, will embed image size limits remain the same? I can see the argument that bigger sized images can mess up mobile, but not sure if there was any kind of img res scaling script wrt vanilla vs new forums
I wrote the size checker chrome extension that people used for a long time. Stopped updating it a while back as the size limits weren't really being enforced anymore.
But I could write something similar for the nuforum.

Alternatively,
Is there a way to have a default max size users can turn off if they want to share a bigger picture? IIRC one was implemented here to help with other bugginess and it's kinda nice not have to worry.
That's supposed to be 4961x2758 but at least on my end is much smaller. But if you open in a new tab you get the full sized original.
ah ok I see the confusion Delz has. I was talking about size limits in terms of number of bytes downloaded (and I'm pretty sure zavian was as well) not the width/ height. A lightbox does not interact with the download size at all.
It used to be a very strictly enforced rule that images could not be above a certain download size regardless of their dimensions. I made a chrome extension that would let you right click on an image to see its download size so you could check that prior to linking it on the forums and getting infracted.
Just did an http request for the header only then checked a few different things depending on if it was a simple image or one of the weird things content delivery networks would do around images or movies at the time.
Then it would insert an already BBcoded URL tag into your clipboard.
I have a truly ad filled app that exists on my phone solely for the purpose of shrinking images down to 1mb for here. That's it. That's all i use it for. Hoping that won't be necessary with the new forum to the same extent.

I use the one linked below. It plays well with Blokada.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd assume that with a functional lightbox system, you'd only be fetching the full sized image when you "open" it. And until then, your browser will only fetch a downscaled version?
If that's the case, it would probably make sense to keep image upload limits fairly lax. It's more about reducing the cost of hosting/serving than about preventing forum users with limited data from being stung by viewing a post with a bunch of NSF56K content.
I used to lurk this forum aaaaages ago, but I'm glad I randomly checked after the news dropped and have been following the updates since. I love following all the work and discussion going on to help save this community, since places like on the internet are becoming more and more valuable as social media continues to show how much it sucks.
One piece of info I might have missed in another thread- do we already have a URL for where the new forum will be yet? Since things are still being worked on I understand there won't be anything at the URL yet, but having a URL to hang on to just in case would be nice.

Also as it is now March and the timeline said something like letting users in late March, an updated time frame for when we're gonna start moving over would be nice!
(Not pressuring or pushing, just excited for new place/tech/car smell)
Presumably the board/mods situation still needs to be sorted out, and I'm not sure when that's kicking off, though I'm guessing the idea is to not rush the process, so hopefully it starts soon?
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

IIRC people have reserved domains on all the candidate forum titles for some time now, so I think we're good on that end.

Good to know, does anyone have that list of domains handy just in case? I doubt the forums will close next week or anything like that, just paranoia from seeing community migrations between sites before.

I guess they're keeping the URL under wraps for some reason. I suppose following the Patreon (you don't have to donate to follow) https://www.patreon.com/CoinReturn can help?

As far as I'm aware, the reason the URL is under wraps is because there is currently a forum there, which is being put through the paces by the beta testing team. So giving the address out would essentially be the same thing as opening the forums to the public.
While Vanilla threatens us with new bugs on a weekly basis, these forums are still more or less stable, and they should remain that way for long enough for us to have a significant overlap with the new place--I believe the plan was for at least a full month of overlapping time.
Which would mean we need to be ready to go, board, mods, rules, key decisions, the whole nine yards, in the next 45 days, to begin opening the floodgates on April 21st, in advance of these forums shuttering on May 21st.
Not that folks working on the transition don’t know that, but seeing as folks are still swinging by anew, it seems worth contextualizing the rough timeline involved here, and when (in theory) to keep an eye out for things to start moving quickly.

It's not an ultra-classified military grade secret or anything, but yeah, we'd rather folks just not hammer the new site just yet until we're ready to open the doors, that's all. But don't worry, if anything catastrophic were to befall the PA Forums with no warning, we'd make sure the new forum info was posted across all available channels. Various discord servers, our social media accounts (twitter, bluesky), Kofi, Patreon, etc.

Is there a single place where this stuff is collected? I've seen links to some of these things in various places. But for the casual lurker it's not that easy to find.

It's turned into a bit of a real time discussion on all the transition stuff but it is open to anyone and everyone.
