Title: Forum Upgrade
Post by: Borthran on January 29, 2006, 11:51:55 PM
The forum will be closed from 3:00pm EST until around 3:30pm EST for an upgrade.
If something terribly bad happens (like what happened last time we tried an upgrade), then it may be slightly longer, but I don't expect it will be more than an hour even in the worst case scenario.

Aaah'! Change! 

It looks so odd. Are we going back to the yellow?


well, nevermind, its yellow again.

Well, I did a quick edit and now we have the yellow.. I dunno how well it fits to everyone's liking with this new theme though.  I can probably make a new one almost identical to the old one, but that will be a little while I suppose.

I like the old theme but if you wanna' try something different man I'm sure I'll like it too.

It is all fancified and shiny now.

It's still ugly, try again.
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: ZERO-Ryoko on January 30, 2006, 10:56:47 PM
Not too bad.

Though, will I be able to make actual backups now?
The golden Yellow kinda.. looks icky...

Perhaps you could change the forum name to "The Golden Shower"?

:P  ;)

Post by: Borthran on January 30, 2006, 11:13:04 PM
I accidentally put in the wrong color code before, so the yellow background was darker.  Now its set to the original AIC color.
As for "The Golden Shower," we can always make a section devoted to that if you want to moderate it Kits, because I'm not ever going to go there :P

I call bias! <.< >.>
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: DangerGirlX on January 30, 2006, 11:48:38 PM
Well yea, this is a bias decision...
since we're CHOOSING what WE like.

Post by: ZERO-Ryoko on January 30, 2006, 11:52:55 PM
I like the Tab effect.

This theme also divides everything up a little more. Makes the place look less cluttered.

With a few hours of posting, I'm sure everyone will eventually adjust. If not. you can go into your profiles and change the themes back into the  Old Yabb SE Theme.

If you make it, I'll moderate it.    ;D

By the way, dont listen to her, Venus is awesome  ...but Mercury is better.

It is indeed a lot less hurtful to the eyes.
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: Borthran on January 30, 2006, 11:59:04 PM
Y'know, I originally considered making a Mercury sig, because she is my favorite.  Then Mars.  Venus is #3 but I had a bunch of pictures downloaded in this folder of her so I just made one with her in it. :P

Make a section for creative works.. THEN talk about your signatures there.  ;)

It doesn't have that "lived-in" look.  But it's OK.

Hey, Marie, how about a little less spamming. One modified post will do!

I don't know if it looks less cluttered... it looks a little more cluttered to me, and not so "cozy". >_>

I don't mind the GOLD though. I <3 YABBS GOLD! <_<

Plus, the colors clash. >_>
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: ZERO-Ryoko on January 31, 2006, 12:14:16 AM
yeah, the colours do clash a bit. Though I think it can be changed all around..

I think it's the small letters that kinda make it difficult to go through.


I can adjust ^_^

Oh, I like some of these nifty features.
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: Borthran on January 31, 2006, 12:39:25 AM
This is how it handles image uploads..  (ive never seen it so Im testing it for myself as well)
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: The Lonely Moon on January 31, 2006, 12:42:51 AM
Oh, I like the thumbnails.  :)


One thought though, I wish I could see how many messages I had and which ones were new.
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: Borthran on January 31, 2006, 12:43:34 AM
I too was wondering about that..  I dont know why it's not there, but I'll look around tomorrow or something and see if theres some way to get it back up there.
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: DangerGirlX on January 31, 2006, 12:44:41 AM
oooh i like the thumbnail thing.. less load time i guess
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: Borthran on January 31, 2006, 12:45:21 AM
And less scrolling to pass huge pictures.

I LOVE THIS COLOR SCHEME!!
IMMA SUKA FOR BLUES AND GREYS.
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: Borthran on January 31, 2006, 01:17:49 AM
It now includes a PM reminder.

Sorry to anyone who was using different themes, I just reset it back to AIC because I had to change it for a while because I broke the theme while I was putting in the PMs.
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: DangerGirlX on January 31, 2006, 01:21:58 AM

Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: Borthran on January 31, 2006, 01:22:32 AM
You can change it in your profile options.
Title: Re: Forum Upgrade
Post by: Kitsune on January 31, 2006, 02:41:12 AM
It reset my PM preferences and started notifying me every time I got sent one.
Which ended up being alot of email, but I fixed it and its all good now.
I just wanted to warn everyone that they may be getting mails now.

Just go back and reset you PM preferences.

..and Hey! There is an ignore list!

Well, I think the new design is good. So, you may keep it.
I spoke with Chuck, and he approves also.
