Upgrade Complete

[Steve]

The forums upgrade has been completed. I am still adjusting some of the look and feel of the forum. (still need to fix the logo up top)

Please note: everything other than the look of the forum should be the same. No new features are added or turned on yet. In a couple of weeks a new version of the forum software will be released which will contain all those cool new features I posted about previously. In the mean time, I will be leaving the forums like this. If there's any problems you encounter, please post them in this thread or send me a PM or e-mail.

Thanks!

yeah i noticed the colors evolving, it looks like there is more space for avatars, will we be able to make them a little bigger

[Dogstar]

When you quote people, though, the quote seems kind of too big...Just my opinion :D.

[Steve]

Yes, just realized that. I need to fix the quotes :)

hrmm...

[hotforscott]

I noticed the quote thing as well. It is more noticable then the post itself. I was a tad bit confused.

[DangerousDan85]

how do u guys like my location :D

[TeriB19]

Steve, it looks just fine to me. I don't know how everyone else's screen looks but I've got about an inch of dark brown on either side of my screen which makes my posts look a little compacted, but it's nothing I can't handle.

[Siana]

everything is cool with me ;)

Same here Teri, it seems a little smushed?:dunno:

[Steve]

smushed? the page should be wider than it used to be. I've increased the width of the tables to be 90% rather than centered at a set width of 650....

Is this what your screen looks like:

LOL, I posted that before your tinkering was comlete :D...

by the way, my screen looks exactly as the one in the link you posted looks.

[TeriB19]

Steve the link didn't work for me. Even with the bb expanded to fit the entire width of my screen, I still have about one inch of dark brown screen on both sides, then the light brown starts. The screen does look a little smushed on either side. I'm not complaining though, it looks ok.

Yeah, the dark brown down the side is annoying me. I can't handle it!! ;) And I don't really like the quotes being brown as well. I liked the white better.

Sorry to be really picky, but I don't like PMs being all the way down the bottom of the home screen and I don't like not being able to see my avatar on the home screen too. It doesn't feel like home any more! :(

[hotforscott]

Yeah, I don't care for the PM's at the bottom either, but I probably just need to adjust for a few days.

[DangerousDan85]

i don't use PMs that much so I don't mind

[Steve]

hrmm... I'll have to add in the "X-distinguisher Hack" for that... might take some time to do!

[TeriB19]

I'm thinking there is NO amount of software in the world that can decipher that mess. If you can find it, I'm in for $10. I'd love to read what he REALLY means to say.:P

[hotforscott]

LMAO at you guys, I would so love to see what that really means.

Hmm, doesn't look much different except that the sides are smashed together...urrg not use to it like this, it's all so much smaller.

[TeriB19]

Thanks for the translation Dan!

[DangerousDan85]

you're welcome

[Xterminator27]

Actually, now im use to the smaller one and i like it better than the old!:D :D

[Bridge of Clay]

yep, it looks smaller to me too... but my monitor is 800x600...

and the brown is darker than it used to be, I liked the other brown better... but that´s ok, I´ll get used to that!

And I thing you must upgrade it with the "X-distinguisher Hack" pretty quickly!!! :D :angel: :P

[TeriB19]

The "Today's Birthdays" feature is nice!!

[Lechium]

Is "mark all forums read" feature is gone? I cant really find it.

[hotforscott]

There are a lot of things that are out of whack to me. I keep scrolling over to where buttons used to be and stuff. I am sure it will take a while for all of us.

[Steve]

Ok, I basically reverted the forums to the old look I had previously since people seemed to like it better. :)

[hotforscott]

I noticed that. I hope you didn't think we were a bunch of whiners.

huh?

it could have mark all forums unread feature!

[Xterminator27]

Hmm teh BB is back to normal......

[creedfan47a]

Does this mean we won't have all those new features we were going to have?? :( Now I wish I hadn't complained so much.... :crying: And why are quotes not boxed and white? :confused:

[Steve]

New features will still be added in. I just changed the look of the board, not the upgrade itself :)

And no it's not because of people whinning. The board is for you guys and people seemed to like this look more, so I changed it. Didn't even take me very long... only about 25 minutes to restore the look :D

[creedfan47a]

Thanks Steve-o. :D

But I'm still wondering about quotes and why they aren't boxed...?? It's a bit confusing when they aren't separated.

[hotforscott]

I didn't mean to whine either. I would have been happy either way. Thanks!
