AlmereStars Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I'm sure it will have some issues in the beginning, but looks great Hhappy! Wat wij nederlanders allemaal wel niet kunnen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDcoasterMAN Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I haven't been posting here long but the new layout is alot sleeker (and faster?) than the old one. I'm KDcoasterMAN, and I approve this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stratosphere Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I really like this upgrade as well! Thanks for the upgrade! It seems much faster John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I was wondering what the hell was going on! Looks nice. It'll take some getting used to, but I like change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 It will take some getting used to, yeah. We've tried to make the new forum look as close to the old one as possible but since the old forum was being retired by the software company we had to upgrade to their new version. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbesx2 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 No offense, but I'm really not a fan of the new board. It feels to me that because there is black everywhere that everything has not fully loaded. Maybe if you made the user control panel links and that stuff up there grey it would feel better, and also if there weren't black lines running through everything.

andre8 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I like the new forum design, but I'm still not used to it. It does feel more modern with the newer buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Ahhh! Batman is now Blue! Looks good, I'll get used to it soon, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Love how fast it is! Seems faster than even during testing. I also really like the "online" banner next to the user photo. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I like the 'save draft' feature. A few times I've lost a post and decided not to re-type it. Looking good TPR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajinaz Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 No offense, but I'm really not a fan of the new board.

Maybe if you made the user control panel links and that stuff up there grey it would feel better, and also if there weren't black lines running through everything. When I first opened the forum today, I also thought that something was missing on the sides. However, it only took a second to remember the upgrade. I like the new look. It seems a bit more industrial which is a good thing to me. I don't know why but it's sort of "Windows 7" looking.

WillMontu Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 You're all probably fed up with me finding bugs and glitches by now, but I've found a couple more. I had a few issues when I tried login to the new site for the first time, as when I tried to log in using the login page (though posting.php or ucp.php) it would take me to a blank page (nothing in the page source either). I finally got in when I used the login fields at the bottom of the main forum page (index.php). I'm suspecting a few bad cookies left over from the old site, as I couldn't recreate the problem in Chrome/MSIE, which I don't use as often. Also, I can't seem to get the Save Draft feature to work, as it simply reloads the "Post a Reply" page with a text field blank instead of saving it.

No offense taken, but it's not going to change much. The black space at the top between the calendar and the forums will be looked into, but really, is it THAT big of a deal? --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatleBen Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I like it! Very suave. Is there a way to hide the calendar though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelinwood Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 It's all so crisp and smooth; I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freekeee Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I have no idea whos end this is on but the spell check isnt working for me (I'm using firefox, if that helps) all I see is a black box where the 'magic' normally happens... EDIT: tried on IE despite the risk of crashing my laptop, I can see the white boxes but there are no words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 ^ sorry about that. Spellcheck should work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 It surely looks 'hip' and 'web 2.0!' However, wordfilters still suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
