The New Forums.

[Eiturlyf]

I really don't like the new forums skin. I prefer the old one the purple just doesn't go that well with the black, but I'm exited that we have a new one.


Edit: Also, I liked having the ninja's, drones, and stuff for buttons. I hate these new check things.

Enough of this already! YOU CAN CHANGE THE FORUM'S SKIN IN THE USER CONTROL PANEL.

[wedgie]

Chill out guys. No need for you both to jump on him like that. Some things are not always obvious you know. You should be helping people with the changes.

[sarcasm]OH MY GOOOOOODDDDDD
CHANNNGEEEEE
WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE SLOWLY[/sarcasm]

These forums allow us freedom in a lot of ways, albeit in ways that are probably over the heads of normal members like me. If there are things that bug you, just have a little faith that they will be worked out in time. We've got good people.

[Geti]

mmhm. lots of sexy, sexy freedom. phpbb is the most moddable crazy forum thing that ever happened yet*.
guys these forums are just waking up. give them some time to flourish.

edit: oh, shame about your sig.
*disclaimers are overrated

I cant stand this new skin. It's hard to look at. I wish it was similar to the old one. :/

I'm sorry to sound snippy, but can you read? You can select the skin you want. There are several bright ones. And more might come soon, some of which might be sexy and uniform and there might be a new default skin. I'm typing in short, simple sentences for a reason. Please, please, please... read the thread you're replying to before you reply to it. The rules and FAQs are also there for you and everyone else's benefit.

I do miss some aspects of the regular forum, but I'm loving the "hello kitty" look.
"hehehe, the topics glitter when I mouse over them!" ^-^

[da_man894]

sorry, misread eiturlyf's post. I thought he said you "can't" change the skin.

[Geti]

you misread the bold, allcaps, underlined text? and you didnt look at the other 4 pages, half of which is people complaining about the skin?
i can believe that. o_0

is anyone else loving the numa tags a lot? :D map rating/commenting threads are going to be much more intuitive. or at least, graphical. cant wait for more modules and extensions.

Did you read wedgie's post? The one at the top of the page? You probably didn't, but it was a simple mistake, no?

It said, 'Chill out'. He apologized, you know. Lets try be a little more helpful, rather than stone every sinner.

I think our biggest problem is that a lot of people have, in two or three days, figured every problem needed to be solved immediately upon joining the new forums. As if that's how it came to be on the Forumer.com forums, initially. Stuff is slow. I know, you're Internet lives are moving at a breakneck pace. It probably makes it all the harder to accept that it'll be at least a week or two before stuff gets hammered out.

However, it's going to be an extensive project tracking down the right mods, having the community help with the styles, and sorting out all the real complaints from the negligible ones. When we fix the forums, it'll be all at once, because it requires that we take them down temporarily to sort things out.

Well said, Dave. People need to really read this post. I have said on a few occasions, in some different topics, that whining about stuff is not really the answer. One person needs to bring it to the attention of one of the administrators, and I'm sure they will get to it. It's not like our forums are in the hands of lazy people. They are going to work out the kinks and the -little- things, eventually. There are coding aspects that need to be resolved, and just a whole lot more important stuff to get taken care of before we talk about forum layout and all that trivial stuff. Your complaints are going to be taken care of. This forum has existed less than three (<3) days. Let's give these guys some time, shall we?

[Geti]

heheh at the heart. made me smile.
also its fine about the delay dave. it's all working now, quite functional and intuitive. the only thing im missing is spoilers, but i read theyre coming back anyway, no? it doesnt matter how long it takes, as long as it gets done some time.
this thread has got way to ragey though. i just read me flaming someone. ;-; sorry, da_man.

Congrats to atob, epigone and Pheidippides for the newly acquired modship!

Congrats to atob, epigone and Pheidippides for the newly acquired modship!

Thanks. I just logged in and found myself promoted, quite the surprise :)

After a brief period of adjustment (some internal thrashing and moaning, what the hell were they thinking etc..) I've grown very accoustomed to the new set up. The clour scheme is great: it has this retro-geek feel to it, very early ninties gaming.

The added functionality is a blessing, especially the html tags now appearing where you selected them to rather than at the end of the text. The mp3 and map tags are also brilliant.

This is a great move that'll benfit the community no end.

Congrats to atob, epigone and Pheidippides for the newly acquired modship!

And... Lenny. :D

And yeah. Quite a surprise, it is. Also, I agree. The mp3 tag is so awesome I'll stay with this look.

[ToeFaceKiller]

Yes congrats! (=

These new forums are sweet! I'm lovin' the new features, reading down the FAQ page nearly gave me goosebumps =p I was especially intrigued by the new poll/posting options, and the ability embed mp3's and map/demo data directly into your post :D

Huge thanks to you guys for goin' through all this for our little community. Seriously. Keep up the amazing work!

edit: On this new dark skin, if you're really tired, all the letters in each post look 3D. Incredible.
ps: I'm really tired.

edit2: Woah, after I submitted that, everything turned purple :D Much better!

[Dead_N]

Purple!? Never thought they would think of this colour. I like the new features of the forums though. *Changes back to old skin*

[Atilla]

Uh, it says that the extension txt is not allowed if you try to upload a text file. Could someone fix that?

[krusch]

I prefer the "Hermes" skin. Easy on the eyes. Loads nice and quick on my computer, too.

[Spawn of Yanni]

The new purpleness is definitely a step in the right direction, in that you can now differentiate between the posts and the background. S'awesome stuff!

[t̷s͢uk̕a͡t͜ư]

Uh, it says that the extension txt is not allowed if you try to upload a text file. Could someone fix that?

Try now.

[bluenin]

I think It's great. The forums needed a change.

[Jiggerjaw]

Try now.

I chose the only .txt I had. Seems to be working now.

[TearsOfTheSaints]

Just want to say that the new colours are awesome. It's a lot better than before. :)
