the initial rebuild of an index for a site this large could easily be multiple days..

just a guess..
I started the search index before I left for home at 5:30am PST. It's now 12:12pm PST and I'm back at my desk. The index is still building, almost on the 3 millionth post. That's why you're only getting old results, and why you might not be getting any results at all.

Images, background colors, and all of that are exactly the same. That's your subconscious telling you that you don't like the new site!

I kinda like that.
I have always liked that too, and it's one reason why we opened up the forum to moderator input a couple of days ago. They didn't ask that it gets removed, so it might be staying.

We believe we resolved most of the issues by now.

We had a problem with the style, so it was giving you the old version. That's why you didn't have the multi-quote and whatnot. They should be there now. As far as seeing the ads within messages, if you are logged in you shouldn't be seeing them.

No, but I do get to sit there and watch a number grow.... slowly.... it's on post #2,975,644 (out of something like 5 million). And that's been running for 6 hours!

It's hit and miss. Hopefully they're working it OUT, and not IN.

you can now see the history on threads you edited and even run a compare to see what all you edited

interesting.. seems like it would be typically useless.. but interesting

edit.. testing

was that spellcheck option always up there on the right? not that i normally would bother to spelchek my posts

I'll be the sourpuss. Hopefully they wont. I use VBulletin as well for a personal site of mine, and as much as I really like VB, they sure did bloat things a bit lately. That networking stuff that someone else had mentioned basically gives people the ability to turn your forum into myspace. Worst Idea ever.

Here's hoping they take the post count out too. I always liked the title change only (DVD Talk Special Edition, etc...), simple and elegant.

I have seen one post with an ad in the first message like Tarantino posted on the right, inside of the posters area.

Edit:
1. Oh my. This is definitely not an issue, this is awesome. When you post on quick reply, it doesn't reload the page, it just sticks the message right above the quick reply window. Sweet!

2. The Edit window defaults to embedded. That's cool. No issue.

<s>3. ISSUE: When you go to subscribe to a thread, it defaults to "no email notification" instead of "Instant notification by email." I'll be damned if I have to click an extra time to subscribe to a thread!</s> Note: This can be fixed in the User CP.

That is the default on most every board I have ever seen. Usually, people just want to see them in their control panel, and we'd rather fault on the error of sending too few emails than too many. You can set this up in your control panel settings so that when you reply it'll automatically be email reply.

Before you would click on "insert link" and were asked to include the text before specifying the address. Now it only asks for the http address.

Thanks.
The WYSIWYG editor is disabled for quick reply, but you should see it on a regular reply or a quote. If not, go to the 'User CP' and check your settings. Otherwise, you can do it why the oldschoolers do it:
