It is with great pleasure we welcome you back to the board. As you can see we have a shiny new vBulletin board and we have completely redesigned the forum index for your ease of navigation and access.

Just to give you a few pointers around the site before you guys get posting at full speed. [list=1] []Be sure to update your avatars since the migration was getting excessively delayed while importing "offsite" avatars []Update your time zones cause I'm not sure they survived the import. [][b][color=royalblue]UPDATE YOUR BIRTHDAYS FROM YOUR USER CONTROL PANEL :no way: [/color][/b] []Your private messages have been imported so no worries on that front []The downloads are still being setup, we just let you guys in to start yapping away. []Smileys have been imported. [/list]Other than that, we hope you like the dark new look of the site and be sure to give Palmer a big sloppy kiss for this template :bow down:

[b][u][color=red]Should you have any further questions, please feel free to post in this thread so they can be addressed appropriately[/color][/u][/b]

All in all, we sincerely hope this is the last of our worries.

On behalf of the team, I welcome you back to [b][color=darkorange]MS V 1.0[/color][/b]

[color=black]- Team [ms][/color]

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Thanks to both tom and kamal for their efforts. These guys spent the last two full days bringing back MS. So give it up for them. Hope everyone likes the new look. Hope you guys get used to vbulletin. Its a great stable fast format.

Welcome back to MercuryServer.

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Give it some time, I had to get used to the Black as well but it?s growing on me.

Btw,

The site will still be tweaked over the next days a bit more but the board remains open from now on. If somebody sees something is wrong or if links do not work anymore in sticky topics or other important postings, please report them. Also please be aware that the downloads will be offline for a few days for sure but they will be back for sure so don't worry. :wink2:

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Yeah, Im not sure about the new format either, gonna take some getting used too. The black is very hard on the eyes, and the times new roman text is very outdated. Looking forward to the tweeks.

Allowable avatar size is smaller too, went from 150x150 to 100x100. Hmm....

Any chance the photo album will come back?

Font looks better already, thanks for the quick work admins! :Bingo:

For some reason, I have to use Atlantic time instead of Eastern (correct) time for the time to display correctly.

Sucks that the games are gone...boo hoo.

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

looks good to me, except color, the black is really hard on the eyes, is it final board color?

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

thanks for the updates, and thanks for at least putting up portions of the site to keep us from going insane from lack of MS or MN contact.

#477218Post 12 of 251

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

I'm not so sure I like the change either, not just the black background either.

#477221Post 13 of 251

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

good: easier to go staright into the forum you want.

bad: that annoying box that pops up whenever you scroll over a thread showing you the post. i use the jog wheel for scrolling over the board and it makes me go grrr.

*edit: it seems my mouse was fucked, the site is fine.

#477225Post 14 of 251

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

the old forum was way better....this one is really annoying...cant even use the same avartars as before...to big...

the other forum would autmatically size it...

very hard on the eyes as well....dont get why we have to chang the damn forum every month

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Ick...I really dislike the halloweenish theme you all have going on over here! It hurts my eyes to scroll thru so much black/white. :Hurl: No offense :iloveyou:

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

but well don't for getting it up and running again .and if hard work has gone into getting this together i'm sure it will be well appreciated .. but i am with the others on saying dark grey as a background ain't eye friendly . looks great but hurts after 15 mins . maybe a lil tinkering is required . and god dayum i have to cut down on the amount of passwords i use . it took me too many attempts to remember the one i use for mercury
