the tables need some padding, and it looks so..messy
but good nonetheless
Jesus christ, in at least Opera your left-hand bar is getting increasingly larger.Quote:

Wouldn't it be cleaner if we get rid of the underline on links? At least for the threads' title 'cause evrybody knows that they're clickable :)
Oooooooooh, ahhhhhhh! Truly, seeing is believing! :D *creepy smiley*
Good point, I've changed that.Quote:

If you're referring to my post. Take a look at the picture again, I modified it so you know what I'm talking about. Pay attention to the space between borders and textQuote:

edit: are INDENT and CENTER/LEFT/RIGHT new tags?
why are some people's post centered, and others not?
I like the old theme better a lot, I can't stand to read anymore, my eyes start to hurt after looking at one thread.
>>Also, it would be cool if we could check who rated us. I think that would be interesting
I just gave Ken a positive rating for this suggestion! hehe....I agree....otherwise it could start a lame war, where idiots will give negative feedback based on difference of opinion.
There are restrictions on how often someone can rate others to deal with this kind of problem.Quote:

and axon, i put three coats of something on the car and stole your stereo.
btw this activate quick reply crap takes away from the point
meh....at least you left the woofers in the back, and that stereo was possesed.... BTW WTF is on my car - kind-of looks like maple syrup and is sticky??
The question is, if i coul tell you, would you really want to know?
The activate quick reply maintains threads for the hybrid and threaded views.
You can see who has rated you. Check out your user control panel.Quote:

For those times when someone doesn't want to reply directly to a post, it is more convenient not to make them click a button that attaches their reply to an unrelated post.Quote:

**EDIT** Grr, now the page doesn't quite fit on the screen. Just (the width of a scrollbar) too wide...
And can someone rate me? I wanna see how it looks in the CP but I can't rate myself...
Uhh, and 1 more thing, why is everyone's rating "of unknown quantity"?
That's the phrase associated with having not yet been rated.Quote:

i'm not sure if this is just me or not, i'll upload a screen so you can see what i mean
pic below vvv
its not just u
I'm getting it here too.
That's odd, I think I tried rating someone earlier, and the rating stayed "unknown". I'll have to check again later...Quote:

i think there is a certain threshold before your rating goes up. IE you start with 10 points, but maybe need 20 to get another 1337 green rectangle....
Oooooh, apparently I got a positive rating from someone. It jumped up my points by 10... I don't see why the points don't go up and down 1 at a time instead though. Personal satisfaction? lol
Well I only lost one point for a bad rating...Maybe ten people gave you approval lol
The amount of reputation gained or lost when you are rated depends on the person rating you. High post counts, having been a member for a long time, and having a good reputation will all increase the number of points someone can confer on another.
hey, how come my avatar was removed and my post count went down about 100 posts? Weird, yo.
I don't know about your avatar...However, your post count went down because we changed how they were counted. Previously, posts that had been deleted from public view (but kept for record keeping purposes) were counted in post counts. Now they are not. You probably had about 100 posts that had been deleted.
Kermi go to sleep man
he cant, he didnt turn his sound off muwahahahaha
Not sure if this is meant to be the case of not, but there is no scroll bar on code tags and it really sucks.
Love the quick reply box, needed one for a long time.
Fixing code tag scroll bars is next on the list of things to do.
After a two days break when I came to this site today, it WAS A BIG SURPRISE :eek: . It took me some time to be sure that I am on the right site. First impression- I don't like the new look at all :( . Its too messy( like many other forums out there). I really liked the old style which was SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE. Not sure about other functionalities, gonna look now...
On the User CP/Edit signature page, the Smilies and tag strings are overlapping the cream(i think) box surrounding this text input box.
This board is in urgent need of a web designer. The theme/layout construction is regressing hour by hour.
Have patience. Redoing the boards like this is a major undertaking. I, and particuarlly the Webmaster, have other lives too. We are working hard to fix all of the problems, but it will take time,
I deleted your avatar as a test. You can put it back if you want.Quote:

Take it easy,
:)
The vast majority of these changes have not been "plannable." The problems occuring stem from upgrading to a new version of VBulliten. V3.0 (the new one) uses a new system of templates and styles that are not compatible with the styles from V2.3.4. There is a portion of the installation that attempts to convert the old style into v3.0, but it is not perfect. The problems we are having come from the incompatibilities. Therefore, it was impossible to plan for this kind of error because we could not preview or remodel the board in 3.0 until we upgraded.Quote:

Don't lie, we all know that you just sit in the mod board and say "Hey, you know what would be kinda cool? Let's make the boards really ugly for a day!"Quote:

another thing i noticed, not sure if anyone's already posted this, there's over 100 posts here already *sigh*
but anyways, it's really hard to tell the difference between two different posts....so yah, maybe some way to make it easier to distinguish one post from another other than that little white line
We are aware of the spacing problem and working on it. Thanks for the feedback.
kermi3,i think your corrupt.
use ME as your guinea pig...figuresQuote:

How about giving the reply box a fixed width font. It would make posting code significantly easier. Currently, if you want the spacing right, you have to go and type it in an external text editor first(unless you're a genius).
Oh my, I wonder if the undead board is still around :).Quote:

i can't upload my avatar nor can i change my title. wtf is going on?
And thats a bad thing how?
because i no longer build for china!! :-)
yea i havent figured out how to upload my new avatar yet its lame
Hmm... That's a bit peculiar. I can't figure it out either... Seems to me that it is somehow disabled.
yep it sure looks it
I'm rather brilliant at pointing out the obvious.
Its a self protection measure against RoD
Lets keep this thread on topic please. We're aware of the avatar problem and will try and fix it in the next couple of days.
I like the thin horizontal rule that separates the posts now, but sigs are appearing just below the last line of text (see thantos' post). It doesn't look right to me, having all that space below it.
Avatar uploads and custom titles have been enabled.Quote:

Wait, crap, the box is only really wide in preview mode. Bah!
The code box expands to contain all the code
I see. Have to get used to it being small when the code doesn't scroll very far then..
In Opera the code box is smaller than the words, and the text runs over the bottom.Quote:

I have had no problems with Opera either - however the scroll bars do not work at all in IE for Mac - you can't even see in the boxes.
In Konqueror the text overruns the code box, though in Mozilla the box is much longer then the text (off of Knoppix)
Whoa. What happened here?
I like the new theme I like the new theme I like the new theme
It's not so bad anymore. It's not so bad anymore. It's not so bad anymore.
Thanks to the webmaster, kermi3 and anyone else associated with giving the regulars the feel and look of the old board as much as possible.
Thanks for making it still feel like home, it's nice. :)
