Nice.

The last time you guys switched software I wasn't a big fan, but I like this. Plus it solves the problem I had with this site where my browser would not let me go back unless I pressed it 3 times.

It probably says somewhere, but are the old thread going to be moved?

I don't think so... We had to start from scratch at the last board switch.

Looks good so far. Smooth loading as well.

Really like the customization offered in the options section. Guess this means there's going to be a rush of everyone getting an avatar, huh?

Looks awesome...great job Scottie and crew. One of these days I may even figure out how to use everything!

And a rush to hit the 'Hide Avatar' button.

I don't understand how they are that irritating... they're only 65 pixels...

Hehe. I wasn't going to say that. But, yeah I was thinking those hide avatar and more importantly, hide signature options could come in real handy. :D

Hmm, I think I like it. I'm a creature of habit so it always takes me a little while to get used to things.

Good job in making it happen, scottie. You Scots are alright.....(and that is saying something coming from an Englishman :blink: )

It seems very fast too!

Very slick Scottie! Going to have to start using all the bells and whistles now I suppose.

Seems less cluttered and easier to navigate too!

Daradon
07-28-2004, 08:40 PM
Hey Scottie, maybe you should take off the % of total forum posts though on the user info page. It's taking our old post numbers and using them to figure out posts on the new forum. For instance it says my 376 posts gives me 308% of the total forum posts... heh.

Unless you have a way of restoring all the numbers for the old posts, these numbers are going to be very screwed up for quite some time.

if this works, thanks so much Kevan Guy!!

Aaaaaaaaaa! Avatars AND Sigs!@? But seriously...it does look good, and I like the thing that lets us see who's browsing the topics.

Very nice.

Wasn't there talk of an Ignore feature?

the_only_turek_fan
07-28-2004, 09:15 PM
Sorry some stupid questions.........

Who is SuperNilson? Jordan?
What is the diff between "Add reply" and "fast reply"?

How do I get a pic under my name?

Are all the old threads gone??

KevanGuy
07-28-2004, 09:22 PM
Yes
Add Reply has more features
Start at My Controls on the top right then figure it out
Yes


On a seperate note, check out the <<Next Oldest Next Newest>> feature just below the last post in each thread. Pretty handy.

As far as I know there isn't one available. But you can block people from PMing you in the My Controls thing.

Looks great Mr Scot!

At the schools computers, it would take 4 seconds to load a page on the old site. Now this one is probably 1/4 of a second.

Really? I seem to recall Letsgowings had that feature, and I think they were using Invision too...

There is a hack for IPB that implements an ignore feature.. or I think v2.0 will have it built in.

Scottie, great new forum. GAve me a little scare there with the lack of password, but with my outstanding wits....or lack thereof.....I have found my way back. Great board, will get some getting used to at first. I'm sure by tommorrow everything will be back to normal. There will be argument's about Edmonton's ineriority, the TPBM thread wil lbe at 20 pages.

Happy to be here Scotty - great work!!

Who is SuperNilson?

- Also an idea for a skin is: "Office", a skin surpresses graphics, and looks less colourful

nice, good to see the transition went over without a hitch (for me anyways) :)

only 1 thing I might like to see is, perhaps a dark color background for the forum, (a skin option maybe) as I'm being blinded by all this white. I mean the area outside/around messages would be perfectly good enough.. it just seems.. brighter than the old forum - but maybe it's because my monitor brightness is on the fritz.. heh
