Forum getting updated

[leaf]

It's finally come time to upgrade the forum to the SMF 2.0 software.  I'll plan on working on it today so you may see some errors or strange messages .. no worries.  everything's under control.  I promise.  

.. that's also to say that if things crash and burn they will be restored to this point and some posts will be lost.

Wow, WTH. Who stole my cheese!? I thought this place got hacked.

well it looks like the forum is updated and healthy.. it just looks strange (for now).  I'll work on that next.

[luissantos84]

no thank you!

[PaulieWalnuts]

I like this new version. It shows I have "Useful Posts: 65535".

haha.. yeah congrats.

Nice to see that it's working.  Things should be a little faster and hopefully a lot less spamers.  The layout looks like crap - I'm working on that still.

Is like [disagree] like thumbs up/thumbs down?
I'm scared to try it out in case it's something different!

I don't think I'll use that feature.  A thumbs up on posts that people agree with is nice I think.  I'll see what I can find for a nice mod.

Design-wise it is much more attractive. I like the change.

[rubyroo]

Just have to post to experience it...

Ooh it's all shiny and new 

[luissantos84]

its a lot harder to read and find the topics, the colors are very similar

Yeah, I haven't done anything with the design yet.  It is just the default.

Is DT/IS rank gone? It's a pity. It was good to see myself slowly climbing up�
What these yellow squares mean? I have four of them - it must be something very bad. :-)
Diamond Members have only one - it must be reminder that it is time to pay. OK. I'm going to do it right now.  :-)

DT/IS -rank: No, just the links are gone - until I get it fixed
yellow squares: who knows, proabably post count or something.  They'll be gone soon

haha, yeah - that page doesn't exist anymore   Still working at getting things up and running and everything back in place.  There should be a link at the top saying 'Support' when I have it working.

Good job Leaf.

New look always requires getting used to, same with agencies.
Clear design, keep it a few days, see if people adapt to it.

Later


ps. U'll have to change the banner if this colour theme is a keeper, never liked it very much anyway, too dark.

This is a built in feature now - you can find it on Profile > Summary  then click on Actions > Paid Subscription in the top menu

OK. Done.

Nice job, leaf!

I would suggest that on the home page where threads are listed, you use a bit larger type size and bold the thread titles.  It's really hard to read through that list.

But overall, looks real nice.

[StanRohrer]

Almost impossible to read the Recent Topics list.  Needs font size, bold, or separator chart bars or something to be able to pick titles off of the page much more easily.

Agree.  Plus the ones I haven't read aren't bolded anymore to separate them from the ones I've already visited.

Isn't that what the big orange NEW indicates?

Tyler, you're doing great. Take your time and it will look awesome!

I have one thing (may have been mentioned before):

When I check the index.php (Home) page with all the latest posts it would be even easier to navigate if the even rows would have a lighter color and the odd rows a darker color. Just to structure it a little more.

Basically the same way the actual thread posts are colored.

Keep up the great work!
