On the main page of each forum. The links for the thread are purple, on top of a purple background. Hard on the eyes. It used to be blue links on white background.

<b>Issue 1:</b> I think it would really help readability if the threads and posts alternated background colors like they did before, gray and white, and the top bar of each post was integrated into the sidebar with the name.

Also, my username is on two lines now. :(

<b>Issue 2:</b> Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to reorder the columns of the thread forum like they were before... Replies, Views, Last Post. That order seems a little more logical to me.

<b>Issue 3:</b> The first post preview on the threads page shows boxes where there are line breaks. That's probably a hack to fix that, but it should be easy. Just do a <b>Issue 4:</b> Not a big deal, but it looks like there's an extra line break in the PHP (code) tag. There may be an extra line in other display tags as well.

on first glance
how are the server resources with this version.. compared to the other?

too early to tell... The search index is updating (has been since 2am last night) so that has to be having an impact on the whole forum.

true.. didnt think about the heavy load being put on by the indexing
although for what its worth.. i havent noticed any performance issues so far today.. even with that extra load

I use Opera, and I can't log in to the forum at all (using Firefox to post). I click on the "Username" box but no cursor appears and I cannot input anything. It looks like a form problem, I just don't know if it's the site or Opera.

Which version of Opera are you using? I'm using 7.60beta and didn't have a problem. Also tried out my old version 7.54 and didn't have any issues either.

Hmm... I'm using 7.21. Guess I'll be forced to upgrade now... I tried 7.54 and didn't like it. :(

Ino longer see a "member list" and when I search for it in the FAQ it says that it is disabled.

Had to look long and hard to find something not fixed yet. :up:

In the drop down list, Adult talk shows up (even though it is a subforum) but Poker and Politics do not. Don't know if you want to add the others or get rid of the one, but I would guess you want them all in there.

geoff

we all know this version is necessary for us ever to move forward with alot of the features that we have all wanted.. including the premium membership option

i would suggest you making a stern notice that this version is here to stay and we need to cooperate and make suggestions to improve as best possible

because there is too much discussion right now comparing this version with the last one.. as if its being debated on which to go with..

unless this version causes a serious server hit.. I assume we are going to do whatever it takes to customize this one and use it going forward.

take the bad with the good, and constantly tweak to make it better

hmmmm.. interesting... even the *backdoor* into the memberlist is disabled now :down:

What you said....!

Yeah folks... This is it... We've moved to VB3 and so it's all tweaks to the new system from here on out, NOT going back.

Change isn't easy, and I knew that there would be many people who would have a hard time adjusting... But it's all good. VB3 now enables us to offer paid memeberships and all the things that come with that as well as add features like Avatars, Private Messages and more. The first step is get this up and running and then tweak it to be able to deal with the Mon/Tues rush. Look for the new features to 'creep' their way in over the next few weeks.

:up:

Does the Views counter work differently now, or is it messed up? It's been stuck at 464 for this thread, for example. I clicked on the thread a couple of times to check, and it's still stuck.

Looking forward to the option to guess on the number of posts Twik makes in a day...should be a blast! :lol:

very well stated :up:



;)

1000 for today, but 7:12pm is already taken
so youll have to come up with your own guess

????

This is probably a Firefox issue, but when you click on a posters name in IE you get a nice dropdown menu with profile/email/homepage/etc options, but with FF clicking on the uname makes the menu appears but it also acts like a regular link because it takes you to their profile.

That's the very first thing I noticed since I always log on through there to look at my posts. That's the quickest way for me to see which threads I've posted in have new posts since I was last here. I miss it. :(

I haven't read everything everybody's said so I expect others have noticed that we now have only the last 500 posts on our personal post pages. Will that go back to the way it was or is there another way to see our (and others') earlier posts?

I get a dropdown menu with Firefox.

You can delete the link for Private Messages in the Quick Links menu since they are disabled

Also, does "quote message in reply?" do anything for quick reply?

yep.. if you use the quick reply icon in the bottom right corner of someones post

Ok here's a weird one:

In order to keep track of new posts in all the threads I've posted in across all the forums (basically everywhere but the book forum ;) ) I used to do a "search" for my username. That way it would bump threads that someone else had posted in to the top (unlike, say, if I hit "search" in one of my posts which would sort in order of when I posted which wouldn't update). Then when the search was complete I could just keep that results page up and hit "reload" and it would tell me if any of the threads had had any activity. I found this easier than subscribing to tons of threads.

Now, however, when I leave the computer and come back and hit "reload" it acts like I did an invalid search. Know what I mean? Tough to describe.
