Oh...I'm glad that worked, it took forever for me to figure out. Lol.

Re: A big change is on it's way...

wow! looks awesome!

only issue I'm running into is posting links and viewing old links

[QUOTE=Dhar_2;852626]sorry but this new format fucks my eyes up!

and its not wide enough.[/QUOTE]

what part isn't wide enough? can you post a screenshot? the new forum is the same width as the old one

Re: A big change is on it's way...

[QUOTE=feather;852576]Sounds like a good place for simonr's Kiss writeups and whatever party reviews we have!

New version looks awesome except everything's biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig. Good job.[/QUOTE] Great idea on the Kiss writeups. I'd like to use that front page for good music-related content :D

Can you please post a screenshot of the biiiiiiiiiiig font issues you're having? I don't see anything that looks huge on my side, but multiple people are complaining about it. It may be a css style issue

[QUOTE=floridaorange;852722]wow! looks awesome!

viewing old links? All of our old Youtube Video and Google Video links won't work; I have an idea in mind which may fix them, but the fix is risky since we'd be doing a bulk change of thousands of posts and may not be worth the fix. All of the old video links will show the [youtube] tags around them.

There are also a few other bbcode tags that haven't been implemented yet, but will be eventually

a banner or direct link to mcast on the front page would be great

also, in the reply page, the bold, italics, underline etc buttons are all black and very difficult to see

Re: A big change is on it's way...

^ I plan on photoshopping all of those colors to fit our theme once everything else calms down. It's on the list!

Trying to "mark all the forums read":

Re: A big change is on it's way...

yep, we still have an index on the board running. it's about 85% complete. Hopefully it'll be done in the next 4 hours :what

#1361126Post 106 of 332

Re: A big change is on it's way...

is there not a youtube link in the reply section?

Before you could post the youtube video right on here.. Can we still do that or can we just post links now?

#1361128Post 107 of 332

Re: A big change is on it's way...

all I see is an insert video tab, no youtube tab

#1361130Post 108 of 332

Re: A big change is on it's way...

you can. there's an icon of a filmstrip to the right of the picture icon in the reply buttons. it's embedded in the forum now, where before we had to install a third-party youtube plugin to do it

#1361140Post 109 of 332

Re: A big change is on it's way...

Re: A big change is on it's way...

The Film link doesn't work. Everytime I click on it it just thinks and does nothing.

Re: A big change is on it's way...

I'm missing the downloads tab up at the top for Diggers show - was the post recount reset with the upgrade or am I totally missing where I should be looking? Other than that - like the new look :lol:

Re: A big change is on it's way...

Quick navigation - i miss the "go" button we used to have next to it, and the "top" button does nothing i'm slowly getting used to it and i like it more and more, really stylish :D

#1361174Post 119 of 332

Re: A big change is on it's way...

When can we expect it to be as fast as the old version? with regard to navigating in general it lags pretty bad...

not complaining :p

#1361178Post 120 of 332

Re: A big change is on it's way...

as soon as the search index rebuild is done. We should be pretty close to it being done. It's been running since yesterday.
