New Forum Upgrade

**Mayet** · March 3rd, 2005, 06:43 PM

I love the new look forum, much cleaner and sleeker and much easier to read and separate things.

I like the separation of the announcements and the main forums and the cute lil coloured doodad thingys..

Just what WD always needed more colour.......a bright and happy place

seems like vbulletin is really starting to hold it's own as software...

Everything loads fast on your system...

Agreed richard, looks good.

Just one little tidbit.. can you make hitting tab from the text entry window go to the submit post rather then the no icon radial?

Of course just call me the bandwidth king

Somebody could have said first ! (or did they & I wasn't paying attention?

) I was mid reply

It's different... kinda tossing between the nice speed boost VS the (to me) weird layout now...

Change is always good though.

Starting to look eerily familiar..

**Ya_know** · March 3rd, 2005, 08:05 PM

I can't find my car keys...I left them here before the change, now I don't know what I am going to do...

Hey!!! where's the smilie list!?!?!?!

**rgharper** · March 3rd, 2005, 08:30 PM

I didn't have one for a while, but now I do. It just sorta 'appeared' out of nowhere.

**TripleRLtd** · March 3rd, 2005, 08:48 PM

It does look nice and clean. I imagine the features will be updated as we go along Rich? No index anymore? i.e. logged on members on the main page? How about "View New Posts Last 48 hours" seperating the Techville from the tech only posts? etc...

Hello All,
Just finished most of the updating. I had some template issues that needed resolving. I was able to address Matridom's request. Now you can tab right to the "submit reply" button. I will get these other issues resolved over the weekend. We're upgrading the Company forums tomorrow, hopefully in the AM. Have a good night.

I like some of the smoothness of the change... however, the user info between the messages just makes reading a thread "difficult"... I'm also having some anomalies when replying... the box I'm typing in right now is well beyond the boundries of the surrounding table... on a scale of one to ten... 5/10

Does have that easier on the eyes look. Much like my wife.

Its magically appeared now

.. it ought to be now evident next time you post, but it wasn't there immediately after the change - on which subject can we have some more ? (smilies that is) the selection here is 'piss poor' .. ..
