The place looks a lot more user-friendly than before.

[sam]

I like the new format; my only suggestion would be to change read items from Red to a different color. It's a faster way to scan when your time is limited.

[ECW]

It appears that signatures are not registering. Mine is still in the User CP but it does not display when I post.

ON EDIT: seems that signatures in all the old posts did not transfer over but they do appear in all the new posts.

[AnnEsthesia]

Wow... all of my old PM's came back. I had almost 700, even though yesterday I had maybe 100. Everyone, check and delete them, or you will not be able to get any more.

[Cobra]

lol, I had 3000 there about, took forever to delete them all.

[cronic]

I noticed that to..lol..Im all deleted... Glad I uploaded all my avatars and sigs to my own hosting.. no worries on my end.. everything working for me

[cronic]

will we get back things like..
[hr]
?

[Mia]

Very impressive change-over. My pms are still here, so far the threads I've read do not seem disturbed. Brava!

[Pookie]

I want my sig back!! For some reason, it won't work. It's within the parameters, danggit!
LOL. Ehh, I'll keep trying.

[cronic]

hmmm.. now that you mention sigs.. can I ask which rule we are supposed to follow...

this one from the user cp under edit signature..
Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 100 pixels or 9.8 KB (whichever is smaller).

or this one from Announcement and rules - the democracyforum constitution
9. Signature images must be no larger than 150 pixels tall, and 550 pixels wide. Any larger and they will be removed.

Thanx

[Pookie]

Fork and spoons if I know. How'd you get your sig to work?

Well spotted :) I guess that is one to file under "bug fix". Either change the forum settings or the rule. For now, the forum setting (500x100) is all you can use.

lol.. mine was there.. I didn't have to do anything.. I have my sig pic and avatar uploaded to a different site and streamed over thru my sig edit.:clapper:

[Pookie]

Crap. HELLLLLLLLLLLPP!!

Ut oh..lol.. well.. I can change mine if ya want?
Mine is per specs from the other rules..

either way is kewl.. just let me know ya all.

Im guessing anyone who uploads to this hosting.. would have to abide by that rule as knowing alittle of how the software works.. if thats what its set at in admin control.. then it probably wont allow the upload of anything bigger then specified..

but for others that use photo bucket or other hosting being public or private can kinda over ride that.. still the sizing should be the same for all.

either way Im cool.. takes alot more to bumm me out then that..lol
Still I would miss mr. mmmkay..haha.
wait.. i can just make him smaller.. :thumbsup:

I know its young here on this new software.. I don't mean to pic out stuff..lol.. just tryin to help get all in order!

[cronic]

Crap. HELLLLLLLLLLLPP!!

lol.. hey.. if its ok.. I offer my hosting to anyone that needs it for avatar or signature pics.. I have lots of room... just let me know..
I plan on keeping my hosting for the next 10 years yet atleast..lol

[Pookie]

My Photobucket one worked just fine. Crap!!

[jafar00]

Personally, I'm sad to see good old mybb go, but I'm sure we will be ok once the bugs are ironed out :)

yea.. I agree.. I love the mybb software..Mine has been bug free from day one.. but.. maybe im just lucky to.

I just hope some of the extras we had with mybb.. we can have back here to in time.

Im guessing youtube code won't work now either ya?
Anyone tried?

[AnnEsthesia]

*snicker*

How does one get rid of the "subscriptions?" I belong to a couple of other boards that use VBulletin, and they offer the option of not opening "subscriptions." For the life of me, I can't see what good they do anyway.

[cronic]

I need to get used to search.. I really miss the recent tab we had for posts.. thats all I ever used before.. it was always good for quite a few threads.. or all from that day..
now i click new posts and all it shows is like only a few threads.. and I tried to search for all posts from yesterday up to now.. it wont work... not for me anyways

[thistle]

Nice new digs. Will take some getting use to though.

[susie]

ive changed the sig image size specs to match the general rule as mentioned.

also, i'll add the youtube funtion back in once i get time. ive some other mods to look into for the forum, so it'll take time. ive alot of work on right now so i'll get to it as quickly as time allows. (hopefully in the next day or two :))

[BoogyMan]

Thanks for the update Susie, things are looking pretty awesome so far!

[cronic]

before.. we could click on the online status of a member.. and go to the who is viewing what page.. can we still do that?..
Anyone?

[AnnEsthesia]

We can do that still. Go to the main page and scroll down to the bottom and click the link.

[cronic]

okies.. cool.. now I see.. thank you

[3.14]

Looks absolutely great - good job, admins/mods!!

[TheStripey1]

congrats...

Is this one of those free servers I've heard about?

[Buck Laser]

I've just found an apparent different (and unwelcome) behavior in the new software. In MYBB, if you forgot to press the "post" button, you could always go back a few steps and make sure it actually got posted. But just now I posted a reply on the Justice Stevens thread, previewed it, and forgot to press the "post" button. When I realized what happened, I tried to go back and post my reply, but it had disappeared. I don't think I've seen this behavior on any forum before.

Of course, I might have found a way to screw it up my own self. That's a possibility I don't want to overlook.
PS: Never mind. I hit the "new posts" button instead of "today's posts."

[jose]

I think its better ´cos i´m used to vbulletin

[susie]

congrats...

hi there :)

no, its not a free server, it is a private server though, if that helps.
