Arek the Absolute Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Phpbb is out, and vb is in! With the change comes new things for us to get used to, as well as things we will have to get used to now being gone. Positive or negative *hopefully not too negative*, what are your opinions on the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I like it, and you probably already know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Everything looks much cleaner, but a little cluttered. It's not necessarily better or worse yet, so it'll just take some getting used-to. I'm sure I will learn to love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrion Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Mmm threaded view ftw. Plus with threaded view I don't have to enable quickreply for each post. Course it also means I have to click each post that I want to read. Oh well. That in and of itself might be a good safety feature too . Another nice thing about threaded view is that it includes a preview of each post, so I can tell if someone's reply is an imagebomb and simply skip it.

CE Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Are there spoiler tags now? And where's the orange :[ wow nice copying my thread in unmod arek :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah, there are going to be a few more visual changes. Dave said he's gonna switch the thread icons eventually, because at the moment they're a little difficult to distinguish. (Maybe we'll get back our old smilies, too!) There are a lot of customizable options, but at the moment, we're focusing on security and functionality. Lots of cool new features so far! Check out your user profiles: buddy/ignore lists, longer sigs, more avatars, thread subscriptions, event reminders... This stuff kicks booty!

watkinzez Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Holy crap it's my old account. I don't think it's completely loaded for me, I'll get my proper account and refresh a couple of times. Otherwise, huzzah! EDIT- Just above my post, 'Site AdminPost Status on ProfileJudge'. rofl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CE Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 That's because you're closer to the server, you have a faster intarwebz speed. Or something. What's this about more avatars, I'm seeing a few more, but not the gigantic pile of avatars the sitehelp thread had. Any idea when those will be implemented?

Pyrion Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Wait, can you have a quote within a quote on vb? Yup. You just have to do it manually as opposed to the "quote message in reply" in quick-edit, AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverStar Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 It's.. big, and white. And it makes my eyes hurt. But it does have some interesting features. So, that's not -too- bad, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Phazon Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 So much blue text... But so many new features... This seems like it's going to be pretty nice, once it gets all fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Whoa, this is different. Apart from having to do certain stuff manually and the fact that I no longer have my Cloud avatar, guess I'm not too annoyed. Will take a little getting used to but that shouldn't take too long. EDIT: Aha, found the avatar, just took me an annoyingly long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israfel Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 The ability to turn off images and sigs is enough to make me happy with the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
