Problems, thoughts, bugs, whatevers - re: new forum software

As title - anything you spot, please post it here

And before you ask, yes, we'll be adding a bit-tech color scheme soon!

 

Its not as nice as the old one?

 

is it just me or is it quite a bit slower? could well be me actually :\
the poster nick (over there <--) is a bit huge too

 

I like the old forums better. These things are ugly. lol. Make a forum skin like the old one.

 

Possibly smaller Nicks, because they're like bold size 18 font compared to the 12 message text

only bad thing about vbulletin, is that hardly anyone makes free skins... you'd probably have to buy/make your own if you want a nice one

 

Im not too keen on the brightness of everything, if there is a way to change the color scheme, change it to something darker...

 

Oh for crying out loud peeps give em a chance. First you install the software, then you customise it - it all takes time.

 

what happened to my title thing? it used to say Super modder or something and now it says Registered User. oh well.

 

Ah, cheers for bringing to my attention.

*goes to check that out*

 

I'm finding it quite a bit slower too...

 

As was sugested in the "what the hell happened here" thread, some type of customizable style sheet so we could chose our own theme.

 

one other thing i would like if possible is to make it so there is a option to change date format . for example 9-21-03 instead of 21-9-03. minor thing but it would be a convience to those peps in the states and elsewhere that use different date formats.

 

Yep, I've already said this will happen Gimme a chance

I can change those for everyone but you can't set your own format like in phpbb. Maybe they'll release this in a later version?

 

Didn't see you said it, thanks

Or, you could add it yourself

 

Yeah right

 

LOL. Anyway, You might want to make an announcement post telling people that the theme will be changed as so many people are commenting about it.

Edit: also, what happened to the "Users browsing this forum:" part, any way to add that back, I liked it.

Eidt again: Can we get the "Online/Offline" thing under the user info back? I liked it too

 

its nice, but as said, the names size needs to be dropped. The forum is loading slower on my 56k than the old one. And is there any chance of a quick reply box at the bottom?

 

The forums actually load quite a bit faster for me. I'm on 56k so I really notice these things .

Umm... The smilies are in a different order and I can never find the right one anymore, .

I liked how my ___DeBSD___ fit right over top of my avatar... Now it doesn't .

I do have to question the rating system though. How exactly does it work? Will it be something similar to /.?

Anyway, no real problems. Might take a couple days to get use to, but I think it's an overall improvement.

 

I like the new theme, its nice. a little bright on the eyes, but its 10:44pm here and i havent slept in 2 days. plus this is my fist minute sitting down today out of school. ( )

I wouldnt mind having the option to customize the forum but thats all cosmetic. Its a little bright, but i like it alot. Other than the obvious i agree with the text size thing everyone is complaining about.

PS. This loaded faster on my cable than the old forum Good Job bit-tech!

[edit] w00t! finally im a 'supermodder'[/edit]

 

How long did the conversion take? Did you move on to new servers also or just a new front end? What about the db...is that new also?
