@trust_level_0 updates! Themes and Dark/Light mode are now accessible at the bottom of the sidebar. Dark and light modes are available for all but ‘Classic’
^^ Switch your theme by clicking or tapping ‘Modern’, that “gear” to the right of it is actually a sun for dark/light mode.
I’ve also finalized the college football scores and created a thread. It’s a shit load of teams but it at least updates itself as the games finish and highlights any in progress. Let me know if you’d like to claim ownership of the threadThe Official 2025 NCAA Football Thread (Live scores included)
take special note of that “claim” button. I’ll probably switch it to “create topic” to prevent any confusion but those are NOT ads. They’re articles coming in on said news genre every 30 mins. VIEWING the article will be as simple as tapping or clicking it. The “claim” button is YOUR chance to make a thread on the topic I’ll be adding this to The Kickdrum, PoliKicks, Geopolitics, Digital Dope, Kickin Game, and Big Bank Hank shortly. You already know it’s intentioned for sports too And I want it for Say It Loud too– niche news stories far too often overlooked… that one will definitely take time and research. Just know I’m PROUD as hell to even try to offer ya’ll a new experience
Reactions have been updated to allow any and all that you want. I'll work on emoji formatting in general later
Newcomers: If you have questions send me a DM or chat. Suggestions should go in the "Look here, Buddy!" forum Look here, Buddy! - The Kick-back
This is all a work in progress. Some features we don't have just yet (IG/FB in particular) others will happen soon, the rest... well that's up to yall
Are you still getting alerts? If so that's not me, I didn't even tag anybody this time. You have to be subscribed to the thread. Scroll down make sure you have the bell turned off
It's been brought to my attention (on Reddit @King_Kamala61 ) that there were apparently quotas being placed on posting abilities. This is why I say, if you have questions or concerns let me know -- there's a lot going on and to do, I don't have the same access as yall so some things I don't know until I'm notified. This should be fixed but I'll need a heads up from someone it it's still giving issues.
@trust_level_0 I'm running a rebuild that will take the site down in 10 minutes.
It should only take 5 minutes or so, but the site has not crashed -- we'll be right back
@trust_level_0 I promise I'm not tryna annoy yall but this is clearly a big day I need to broadcast shits and this has always been the spot. Some of ya'll noted issues with rate limits on your posting earlier. I've made some changes, but I need confirmation if you're still having trouble, DM me or send a chat if you can't post. I'm looking into other things until I hear otherwise
@trust_level_0 brehs really want that Xenforo feel. I've updated the default theme to Pinboard -- closest one I see so far. If you're not aware already, you can change your theme at the very bottom of the menu on the left. There's no dark moke on this version, looking at rearranging the categories as well
EDIT: the previous theme was tripping, made a change
Morning gang. Thru a lot of trial and error, I've FINALLY decided on a default theme. Light mode is being tweaked accordingly and I'll flip it for dark. There's a lot of customization and I'm not done yet so if you see something off let me know.
Emojis have been fixed and hopefully the layout is a lot cleaner for everyone.
Sports scores and news are currently down. Hoping to offer some new features later today.
@trust_level_0 okay we startin to cook now!!
The Horizon theme and it's dark mode have been updated, I highly suggest it or Mint. Mint just worked outta the box but I went with my own spin on Horizon. Let me know if you catch something off. Giphy revoked access but I'm reaching out to them.
Games scores however are back up and have been combined it now appears in The Kickoff (sports section) and any threads with the tags NFL or NBA. I'll be adding College football and basketball later this week. In the meantime, I owe @getthesenets a look into blocking X/Twitter, @Peter_Popoff dropped our first fan thread and is definitely getting a dedicated score/stat board-- I wanna make this a thing if possible-- and i still have more in store
Updates: If you haven't noticed already, I'm trying to integrate streaming platforms on the site. Tidal and Apple Music in particular. Spotify is on some bullshit. Tidal has been a pain in the ass so far, they're not talking to each other like they should Imma try my hand with Apple over the weekend. There's a thread on this https://thekick-back.com/t/now-testing-surf-the-kick-back-with-tidal-music/402
College Football scores is also back online. There's a ROUGH mockup for team specific info but that's on the shelf for now.
Updates: First and foremost reactions are broken right now There was a recent update to a beta version and that looks to be the culprit. I'd need to revert to fix it but we'd lose a lot of changes Reporting it in a bit.
I've also officially announced "The Jukebox" -- are newest product for us music junkies Check the thread for full details
Any reaction issues should be resolved now but please let me know otherwise.
I found one of the issues that likely caused a lot of confusion for brehs trying to navigate the site. The "topics" option in the side menu has been updated to Home to clear that up.
