The forum is updated and I had some problems in the process. I think it works now and I will fix the style in the next days. Hope you can enjoy the look anyway

Working ok now by the looks of it

What prompted the switch to VBulletin? It takes me back this does, I used to admin VBBoards back in the day!

WOO 2k POSTS

Love the retro look

Hope the normal one gets back .. i was finnaly getting used to it !
Mind you i do hope you can keep speed, this forum has, up.
The "normal" forum style was getting kinda slow and bogged down it seems .. was that the reason why you updated ?

 

[Alzer]

Hmm, this might take me a little while to get used to. Does seem like a few things are still glitchy (avatars and other images specifically). The link to PMs in the toolbar looks like it will be very handy though.

I miss having the little stars for rep, these green blocks just don't brighten up my day the same way.

I updated because vb have now finaly been released as "gold" which means its safe to install on live sites. The reason this forum is faster might be because I have removed all plugins.

Yeah, I really hope the old style (or at least, a version of it) comes back soon. The text is too big and I dunno, it just seems.. clunky. I like how it's rolling much faster and the style could be gotten used to, but it's too flashy and the likes. My biggest issue is everything is just... bigger. Smaller font is needed!

 

[Blackhat]

as I tried to say earlier. This is a temporary style, but it will also be the basis of the new LO style

I was disappointed we were down, but glad for the update. Hopefully won't take too long to get it back to looking similar to old, although I agree we need options to view smaller text!

-ps: post 200-

Must say it felt great being back only to see the forum being down. Glad some things never change

Change...baaaad!!! *shuffles of moaning loudly...*

I like the speed of the new site, like others have said though, I hope we can get back to a style like the old site soon

Took the words right out of my mouth! I don't like change, so I hope we can go back to a style similar to the old layout. This new one just feels wrong...

But on the other hand, speed is always a good thing.

 

[Kelter Skelter]

This is deifnitely going to take some getting used to

 

[Seraphim_Guard]

I don't mind the new style, but the bulletin at the top that has the most recent posts was by far the best way to navigate this site and will be missed if it is not brought back.

Blegh! Im not enjoying this! No user CP and all.

Mr. Blackhat, please work some Hazard stripes into the new look, Im sure members will love it!

If it runs this fast I don't care if it has fluffy pink bunnies for wallpaper. Don't bring anything back that will make it slow again.

 

[Da Mighty Camel]

No user CP and all.n

Yeah I definitely miss the user CP. Was a great way to keep track of all the posting (ie. spamming) I did.

Overall, I think it looks very slick. Will take some to get used to but definitely cool.

I like the older look better, it's what I was used to with the quick links to things like my user CP and the little rep stars. The 10 most recent posts was also a feature i used commonly. Also in forums with numerous sticky posts it can get confusing, maybe you could add in a blank line between the sticky and non-sticky threads? Anyway I prefer the slightly slower old format we used to have.

And you can get to your used CP quickly by hitting community then friends and contacts then going to settings.

+1 on that idea.

PS: Blackhat, love the new avatar.

No user CP and all.

I miss that too. Still- I'm always happy when things are changed for the better (ie the forum speed, not the lost CP).
