Forums upgraded

Great work Gramphos for kicking this off.

The only big issue I've seen is that it's tricky to log in. I logged in when prompted in order to make this post, and it didn't work. I logged in again with the box on the top right of the forums and it didn't work.

New style, restrictions on Spike's access - this is fantastic!

Except the green, but I'll wait for new colours to come up eventually.

Also, all the ads are missing on my version, which is great. Although, I'm tempted to get hold of a Not Found - not sure how long I can resist their constant barrage of banners.

1) cant access PM page, said congratulations, page not found



2) when you make a comment and it shows "grandpatroll smiles approvingly" when you put the / in front of me type code, I just noticed it wasnt working in another post

I will put it here to verify below



/me smiles approvingly

I think this new layout will take some getting used too.

Also, is there a way to manage which smileys come up in the smiley box on the reply screen? Cause the smileys there are very random and not the most oft used.

For those experiencing timezone difficulties, is your 'DST Correction Option' set to "Automatic"? If not, try that; if it is, try "... on" and/or "... off" and see if that helps. If that still does not resolve the issue, than that is something Gramphos or another Apolyton staff member more experienced with vB configurations than I will need to assist on.

None of that worked. Crack the whip.

ACK!

In the User Control Panel it shows threds with new messages in them.
It would need a link to first unread message. (On many other BB's this feature is available.)

Also the time of last new message is in wrong time zone. (Have set the timezone correct and the time next to my info is correct)

Also in this Reply window - part of the smileys don't load (The missing ones vary from time to time...)

I'm leaving forever due to the mods lack of taste in forum skins, or until they give us back the old light basic skin.

Given your preference, I recommend the 'Restricted' skin.

Holy **** I didn't dream this.

Bug: the 'Lost Password' page is currently "Not Found".

Colors and fonts are fugly. Waste of space side bar in the OT. Text too wide in this forum. Viewing on a laptop.

fixed
Possible the different avatar sizes per usergroups was an ugly vB2 hack. I think it's in by default in vB3, but might be that I've not converted the old settings for PLUS users.

it was a simple hack but I wouldnt call it ugly

I checked it 3 times , it said central time. GMT -6

It shows Local Time, under my avatar correctly, but post time is 5 hours ahead.

At the bottom of the page it says "All times are GMT -6. The time is now 00:08."

So just the time of post is wrong. Anyone else have this?

I get the same.

I prefer it when the post time (both the posting time shown at the top left of each post and the last post time showed in the second column in each forum) shows local time instead of GMT.

I checked my account options and they are set correctly.

The local time showed under my screen name and at the bottom of the page is correct.

I know this is herecy, but I think Markos, that Asher might be better on the compueter than you. Please make him the tech director.

Oh...and shut down Candyland.

Umm...and is it true there will be an option to view threads branched?

[TCO]

PUT THE SIDEBAR at the bottom!!

Or better yet on the forum view, only (not thread view). And get rid of the attack defense move stats.

dorks.

[Robert]

Awesome!
Thanks for the great work, looks good so far, I'll report when I walk into any troubles.

[Lonestar]

There a way you can create a subsilver skin or something for this board?

EDIT: Also, hitting quick reply seems to automatically subscribe me to threads. I do not want a bajillion email notifications trickling in.

[Sprayber]

Not sure if it's been covered but are there any darker themes in the works cause this bright page is giving me a headache. I'll reserve further judgments until I get the hang of the new scheme.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Now that I'm back and have a slightly lower blood-alcohol level, I just wanted to reiterate that this

a.post-new:hover, a.post-new:active {  style-37...00012.css (line 404)
   font-weight:bold;
}

is bad. It's not an appearance issue, it's a usability problem.
