The layout / formatting seems to be much improved. I like how this new version seems to fit my computer screen better.

Hey Kristi. I really like the look of the new site. That said, the icons/avatars are missing for me as well. I'm running XP and Firefox.

EDIT

After posting, the icons are visible sometimes. Weird.

I realize you folks executing the forum changeover are dealing with a few glitches :eek: Wanted to add that the option for picking smileys with your mouse are absent when creating a new thread.

Take 'em one at a time :) :).........

Thanks Taz!

Forum logs me out if I use the Advanced Search function. Would be nice if all the printing on the black headers was white, the red on black is very hard for me to read. Aside from that, things do look better. :)

first thanks for all the hard work on getting the forum upgraded. 2 things that i have noticed that havent been mentioned. first the last line of the post is missing the bottom of the letters like g,y,q etc. pic to show what i mean.

Image

the second thing is i was wondering if you could change or darken the colors of threads that have been read compared when there is a new post on it. we had a similiar problem at another forum i am on. they just tweaked the colors so it was easier to tell the difference. that's all that have i, thanks again!

1.
Red text on a black bar is a little hard to read. Referring to the black bars at top with "Thread Tools" "Forum Search", etc.
Subjectively and just personal, I find it unattractive and doesn't "fit" the overall look of the site.

2.
No editing tools show up when creating a message or reply in Advanced mode, with Message Editing Interface set to Standard.

I like the new layout; very slick.

As others have mentioned, my avatar is non existent as well, although it does appear when I'm viewing my profile.

One thing that I noticed is in a thread where Deacon posted a link, there was no color change or underline dictating that it was a link. I just thought his post was worded funny or missing a word or two until i moused over his link.

I bet you didn't see the black text on that very same bar :)

Keep posting everyone, we're working on all of it... it's definitely a work in progress so bear with us. I would anticipate that it will take a week or so (just based on everything else I've got going on atm) to work through all the "bugs" but we'll get there. ;)

Edited to add: Oddly enough, avatars are starting to show. I can now see mine on this post. :s

Edited again to add: NVM that avatar thing, after I edited it was gone! LOL! We'll get there.
There is nothing more important than this one day.

This was actually my problem (phone settings), and is working now.

Thanks for all your hard work getting this up and running!

Thanks for all your hard work on this forum. I'm a software developer myself for our corporate B2B website, I know how difficult an upgrade can be! :) Just glad to have the forum here!

Many of us have watched other forums upgrade their vBulletin platform and there are going to be some tweaks needed but you'll work it out.

I tried changing my personal settings to use the "WYSIWYG" editor, and still don't see the quick settings for changing fonts, etc. although it looks like it does accept the "BB Codes" if I put them in directly.
