We're back!

[SALvation]

As you can tell we're back! Please read the announcement for some important information and then if you have any questions, please post them here.

[merkwannabe]

Yippie! I almost didn't make it. My password was changed and my email account was deactivated. :/

Man, these forums are super fast. Massive improvement, too bad we lost pms and stuff..

Btw, Sal I added you to msn and aim to help me get back on, but that won't be an issue anymore so you can delete me off your buddy list if you want. ;)

[merkwannabe]

Sal, all of our old pms are saved in the archives silly! We lost nothing.. *cheers* :)

Hmm.. Why are the archives running so well too, I thought they were bugged?

[ME BIGGD01]

it's going to take some time to get used to. i likes the other colors of the previous forum. i just hate change so don't mind me.

[DiTomasso]

Thank God, or should I say Sal. It will take sometime to get used to this program.

[Speedsweeper]

I had to change my password as well. The forums are looking good.

[ThePIT]

That's a huge piece of work you made ! Changing of forum software is not an easy task... :cool:

[Sepra]

Still trying to get used to things here. Are we not able to change the color/size/font of the text in our sigs anymore? There's no option to choose from and my old color codes dont work. Also, not sure if this can be changed or not, but the pinned topics are hard to visualy seprarate from the regular topics.

BTW what's that little green circle at the bottom left hand of our post? Some are lit some aren't :confused: (I think I figured this out. It means that person is logged in at this time)

Edit: I just participated in Caged Angers poll and I think the poll posts are a little messed up. I chose my vote and it didnt really show the poll results like it should have.

[Goober]

Just what does it mean, that little button that says add to the previous posters reputation......I mean really, Sepras reputation is stained enough just being married to Jag.....

Oh....and I can't put GG = Grandpa Goober under my avatar without losing the {DS} Director over it.
Can we not link to another site for our Avatars?
Also don't see any moderator options.....but I'm blind and they may be there.

One more thing....I think I'm going to like the new forums....Much faster than the old one and has a different feel to it that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

PS.....Thanks for archiving the PM's Sal, I had some server admin info in there. (which is now saved in my computer where it should be).

[Sepra]

:p @ Goober

BTW not sure if something was updated but all the sig options are there now for me.

Edited: I put 2 smiles in and had to take one out. Too many images lol

[ForrestFunk]

woohoo, good work Sal !!!

[Scorch]

The forums looks sweet, where are the avatars and sigs?

read the announcement Scorch ;) :P

[SALvation]

Just a quick update -

We don't have a dark skin yet because I couldn't find a good free one. If anyone can, please let me know and I'll get it up here as an option.

Mods will have their toolbars back today. I..um...forgot to set mods for all forums. :)

I'll look into the polls. It may be that old polls aren't working perfect.

I'll also look into separating pinned posts. I don't like that either.

[EXEcution]

Testing Sig.
Otherwise everything looks fine!
Except fr my avatar being bigger that 50KB's :(

[JIMINATOR]

hmmmm, looks like all of the post images are gone. that suxxors...

[JIMINATOR]

buy hey sal, good work, i know this was a pain. these forums are pretty zippy, and have some nice features i have wanted to see...

[SALvation]

Yea transferring 1G of attachments over the web is something I just didn't do. The importer wouldn't have been able to handle it.

BTW - I just changed the way stickies show on the forum list. Hopefully this makes them stand out a bit more.

[JIMINATOR]

is it possible to have image attachments appear as images rather than links?

[SALvation]

Have you tried the IMG tag?

[SALvation]

I see what you're trying to do now Jim. Check my response in your post in the Photoshop forum.

[Death Engineer]

Sal rocks. Everyone add to his rep. :P

[SALvation]

LOL. I can see the reputation feature of the forums being a cool thing. :)

[C2H5OH Guy]

yea I think it´ll take some time till every old member gets used to this forum...but this vBulletin isnt THAT different from Invision i think

very good work sal that you were able to save all old posts! (well that the images got lost is sad...but new images will come!)

[FUS1ON]

Wish they had one of these at the bottom of the page. Scrolling back up or using the Top button at the bottom of the page, then these buttons to exit out of a thread sucks.

[Phobos]

great work sal

but I like the old one better

where are the smileys? :P

[SALvation]

Smilies are on their way back in a couple of days.

I added a jump menu at the bottom. As long as this doesn't suck bandwidth too bad we'll leave it there.

[Grimmy]

Just a note to everyone, make sure you visit quick links-->edit options. There's a lot of good stuff there that you might want to turn on/off like PM notifications and other stuff. If I get time I will have make a thread about all this good stuff. :)

[JIMINATOR]

hey sal, how about bumping up the thumnail size to like about 300X300.
right now c2 posted screenshots that are very unviewable @ 100X27...

I didn't even notice that setting. I set it to 300x300 max now.

[solid snake295]

i dont know, i think i liked the old one better. i cant really tell if its much faster with dialup. i guess ill have to get used to it.
thanks Sal http://www.gamemecca.net/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

[SoulReaver]

Very good forum upgrade dude! How come you can't see people's rep points like under their name? Also what is that thing that is a rectangle under your post count? THey all say diff things.

[SALvation]

That bar under their post count is their reputation rating.

[Dan2]

Thanks for the neat upgrade Sal!!! :cool:
