Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Bjorn on March 11, 2006, 07:32:10 AM: ok, just installed a new vbb version.

This place should look as before (at least similar ;) ) in a while.

If you see any strange stuff going on, please report in this thread.

Post by: Unicron! on March 11, 2006, 08:55:33 AM: I hope things get like usual soon because I am not used to this version\'s looks and presentation.

It doesnt feel like Psx2central ;)

Post by: Kurt Angle on March 11, 2006, 08:58:26 AM: If you want the posts to be vertical instead of horizontal bjorn just enable postbit legacy in the vbulletin options section of adminCP. It will look more like the old layout then.

EDIT: I see you did it :D

Nice job btw, Vb 3.5.x is a great piece of software, adding skins and hacks is so much easier than previously as you will find. :D

Post by: THX on March 11, 2006, 09:04:01 AM: Thanks for the update Bjorn. vB is always getting better.

My advice though (not like you need it) is to MAKE BACKUPS. Just in case something breaks. ;)

Post by: Evi on March 11, 2006, 01:09:36 PM: There\'s a lot less bugs now. Before this site wouldn\'t load correctly in one of the browsers I was using, but was fine with others. Now it loads perfectly in every browser. :)

Post by: Viper_Fujax on March 11, 2006, 02:40:40 PM: looks alright..i kinda like the black but i guess ill get used to this

one thing i noticed: i did a spoiler a while ago, and i checked on the thread, and spoiler tags are kind of worthless. The word "spoiler" is in yellow so you cant see it, and you dont have to highlight it to see what\'s written (it shows up like normal text)

[sp]like this[/sp]

edit: now it doesnt work at all

Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Evi on March 11, 2006, 02:47:57 PM: This is temporary you tards. This is the default VB theme. Obviously we\'re not going to keep this theme since it isn\'t really a theme.

Post by: Paul2 on March 11, 2006, 02:57:58 PM: At first, I didn\'t like the change. But when i start to browse this new design forum. I actually like the new change.

Its looking good. the only thing I\'m not liking is I keep having to check "Quote message in reply?" when I quickquote someone. Any way to fix that?
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Evi on March 11, 2006, 06:21:44 PM: Yeah...the colors are all jacked and the buttons need some work, but we\'re on our way there. ;)

Post by: CHIZZY on March 12, 2006, 08:12:35 AM: I liked the old feature of uploading pics & having them displayed in your post. I understand it hogs resources, but it was nice. Also, the large file size was nice. I post at a recording bbs and the max file size is 49kb. That sucks ass.

Also, set up a paypal account so\'s we can donate to the cause, Bjorn. Thanks for everything. This place has literally saved my ass!

Post by: nO-One on March 12, 2006, 08:51:31 AM: yeah, it did save his ass, he was a hobo before this place and now he\'s expecting a child and even wears glasses this place changed him

What do you mean about the attachment thing? To skip the thumbnail and just show the full pic?

Right now the limit for a file is 1 MB.

For everybody:

I have been changing around stuff to get the old look back.
If there is anything I missed please post here and I will look into it.

Post by: THX on March 12, 2006, 10:15:55 AM: Bjorn great work! Looks even better than before imo.

One style I\'ve always liked is this one:

http://forum.maxima.org/

Scroll all the way down and choose SupraDonkey style in the drop down.

One feature I like here is that the envelopes on the left are different if you replied in that thread. To see how it looks like go here (http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=10&f=20) and scroll down to the bottom to view the envelopes with dots on em and their explanation.

It\'s very handy to go back to threads where you had activity in, but your call. Again, thanks for all the work you\'ve put in.

Post by: mm on March 12, 2006, 10:21:50 AM: looking great, boss

i\'ll play around with the templates and get colored names/titles working again tomorrow at work
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Kurt Angle on March 12, 2006, 10:23:52 AM: Looks great Bjorn, I don\'t think everyone realises how much hard work goes into a major upgrade like this, then having to reinstall all the icons and skin from scratch etc.

Nice job :D

Post by: fastson on March 12, 2006, 11:13:48 AM: Looks great, good work Björn. :)
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Evi on March 12, 2006, 12:52:58 PM: Yes, it is coming along nicely. I see everything is slowly starting to look better and better. :)
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: JBean on March 12, 2006, 02:02:09 PM: I like how each post has it\'s own blue border. Looks great Bjorn! :)
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: mm on March 12, 2006, 02:26:19 PM: grrr, i cant see where to remove the space on short posts
always irritated me
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Evi on March 12, 2006, 02:31:43 PM: How could you get rid of that space? You have to take into account the avatar, title, join date, posts, etc.. That\'s what is taking up all the space.
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Titan on March 12, 2006, 02:32:51 PM: Looking pretty good. Coming along back to old forum looks.
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Kurt Angle on March 12, 2006, 02:37:24 PM: I\'m not sure you can get rid of that, I had a look on the vbulletin.com and .org forums and a search came up blank.
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Paul2 on March 12, 2006, 03:23:49 PM: good point made there. The space was cause mainly because of the avatar. But how about put the signature on the bottom of the box instead of top.
Title: Back To The Future
Post by: Eiksirf on March 12, 2006, 03:39:24 PM: It would be less irritating if the signature was aligned with the bottom of the box......
