State of the NEW forum

[Patrick Deno]

Thought it might be a good idea to help the mods and Admins by creating a thread so we, the users, can point out bugs and such we find that they, in their being swamped with getting this new monster moving, may have missed.

Here's a few I've noticed:

1) No obvious smileys except in headings - that's just gonna suck if it stays that way.

2) No obvious text formatting tools - if you're a n00b you'll never know what your options are.

3) That vBulletin graphic at the top's gotta go if possible - just a thought.

Hope this helps a bit. Please don't make this into a b!tch session. This should be just a place where we can point out stuff they might have missed or not gotten to yet and they can come and say "in the works", "not gonna happen" or "done"

(Looks like the smileys are hard to find AND not working yet ... hmmmm)

getting the board restored is/was priority #1

the small details and ugly graphic fixes will come soon

smilies should be working

i disabled the formatting toolbar, 'cause i'm not into making it too easy to go nutso with text.

I knew that getting it up and running was the main priority and we, the users, should thank all of you for the hard work that went into the new version and getting the old DB restored as much as possible. You guys rock and I for one am very glad you're here, doing the jobs you're doing. I just meant this thread as a bit of help - not critisism.

Keep up the awsome work.

(For whatever reason only one of the cool shades guys works yet there are 3 shown in the smiley list)

Forum looks great. If possible it would be cool if we could modify the time in our login to reflect our timezones.

Not bad at all! Well done Glen and team! Guess it just takes time for us to get used to it.

A very minor point, home come it doesn't say Jemsite at the top? Other than that, I'm gald to see things back up and running. It sounds to me like this has put Glen and others through their paces. Good job!

This looks very good.
Congrats on the new forum!

Glad things are getting back up and running

How do you do smiles now?

[the.godfather]

I like the new one much better - just gives it a much fresher and jazzier look all round really. I havent noticed any bugs or anything yet, seems cool!

Great job getting the new forum up and running. I use vBulletin on a couple of other boards, and i'm starting to like it more than the old phpBB standby.

A couple of questions: Is there a user setting to reduce the font size overall? I find everything is just a little big, especially in the message lists, which makes for more scrolling.

Will and eventually make it into the new system?
