Major Forum Change

[Merlin]

As you can see, there has been some major forum changes done around here. Suffice it to say, that the company we license our forums from has done a complete overhaul to a new version, and we're going along with it for now. At this point everything is basically set with it's default options, and over time myself and the mod/admin staff will be fooling around with and learning all the new options and modifications that have been undertook. We'll also listen to advice you may have on what sort of things you'd like changed. For now, explore your new surroundings, and post away!

Pretty :yipee:

[Xelopheris]

I want auto-reply!

[Eden99]

It's slightly confusing O.o;

I kinda liked the stuff to the sides better, rather then ontop... since if it's ontop I actually have to SCROLL through it, as though I am almost pretending to read it, whereas when it was to the side it was much easier to ignore. Other then that after stuff is done and changes or whatever you plan to do... I don't see any problems... hell you even got my smily in here right away <3

[Charlemagne]

I... dont.... h-how do I navigate this c- JAAAAAANEEE STOP THE CRAZY THING!

[VickiMints]

I really like the new color scheme and a lot about the layout, but I definitely agree with Eden - I prefer seeing user information along the side of the post.

Thanks.

[ClothHat]

I'm scared!

[Charlemagne]

yeah baby, side info is the hip thing, this way takes up too much space.

[Rinn]

Woah, this is a bit much.

[Merlin]

I'm pretty sure it's all customizable, but I need to do some homework before I can roll up my sleeves and dig in here. Just play around with the new look and options first and see how you like them.

[Charlemagne]

Yeah, this is like going from a commodore64 to the Enterprise-E

[Mastermune]

I have to say it looks preaty cool,going to be hard getting used to it,but still preaty cool.Good job

[Jango]

IT'S HIDEOUS! :p

[Gizamaluke]

We should get an arcade here.
That'd be awesome.

[Cidolfas]

I'm with the other folks. Side panel all the way.

[Walhalla]

Woah, it's weird, but we'll all get used to it eventually. As always.

Oh, but the colors match perfectly with my avatar, so that's cool. :P

[Xelopheris]

The vertical style works much better when avatar sizes are 80x80 max and people don't have two page sigs.

And yes, I know, my avatar isn't 80x80. I was gonna change it, but custom avatars are temporarily disabled.

[Sairan]

I don't really mind the overall look, but I'd agree that the side panels are better...

EDIT: It says I'm invisible? Damn, there goes my plan to be here in spirit...

[The 984]

It's possible to do the side panels. I've seen another forum that uses vBulletin 3 do it. Shouldn't be too hard.

And with new forums comes new names. Honk.

[Xelopheris]

Sidepanel is just a simple switch in the admin panel. Making it user-choosable is much harder.

[demigod]

Aiiieeee! It's a bit unsettling at first, but I'm starting to like it. Putting the user info back on the sides would be nice. Grah! Like half of the smilies aren't there.

Also, is it just me, or are the avatars larger now than before?

[Sinistral]

God I hate this new layout.

<img src="http://www.rpgclassics.com/subsites/twistedrpg/images/hero/rirse.gif"> Pretty funky so far, but I like it. Anyway, I suggest you add the option to reply at the very bottom of the thread, instead of just pressing the "add reply" button on the side. It easier to find quotes and stuff that way. And I dunno if it possible, but could you find a way to have a header to each post. Similar to the signature, but it always appear in the front of your post. A example of this can be found at Acmlm's Board, which isn't VBB 3.0, but instead old Acmlm custom board. I know him way back from EoFF, so he wouldn't mind sharing the info.

[PanamaJack]

The forums seem so... SMOOTH... Definitely switch to side panel though.

And as long as the forums are getting spiffed up, why don't you add some new forum banner images? The last ones were fairly lack lustre.

Simple answer: No.

[Kei]

I was terrified when I first got in here. >.>;;

Of course, I first went to my subscribed threads, including the pic posting thread... and since there's so many damned pages in that, it lists them all without any line breaks... and I dunno about anyone else here, but I hate all pages that have to scroll horizontally, especially if it's just for one little thing.

*looks at all the buttons above her typing stuff* Looks like hotmail... hyahh.

What's Guided Mode and Enhanced Mode?

OOH PINK TEXT!

EDIT: Yay, found old skin stuff. :3 Still looks kinda funky when I'm making my post tho... Bleh, Guess I'll get used to it. Just a bit bright. x.o
.
EDIT: YAY! User info on sides now :D:D

[Kairi]

Assault with bright colors! Wasn't expecting that...Makes my head hurt.

Edit: :yipee: got the darker colors back ^^

[Xelopheris]

I told Sin how to do the Legacy style postbit (side info for you laymen)

Too bad it doesn't like having a fixed pixel width, making it all freaky deaky.

Edit: There we go. Maybe my browser didn't want to load properly.

God I hate this new layout.

God, you have no idea :P I hate this shit too, what's up with this? Merlin, you go over to vBulletin right now and you tell them that we want our old boards back or you'll cut off their head and shit down their THROAT. Argh!

Bad! This is bad. Also, these colors are too bright, and they don't have enough badassery to them. Garharahrhggg :P

Edit: Also, if you want to read who posted last in a thread on a board with too many pages to it, you have to scroll all the way to the right to see. I think that's what Nessa was talking about, and I think it's retarded that we have to do that.
