This is going to take some getting used to, but it does look great. Of course, a little change in scenery is good from time to time.

My eyes were bleeding at first, but now I am used to it.

My first reaction was "ACHT MEIN EYES THEY BLEED!"

Followed directly by, "Well when I get used to it this will be cool."

follwed by, "Well I'm used to it now... can I just finish this god damned post! [explitives deleted]"

The goggles! They do nothing!

Yeah... we're gonna have to skin this puppy in something less offensive. I'll do it when I put the board down to manage user ranks... which will probably be Saturday next week at 13:00 GMT.

If anyone wants to design/suggest a Zeta skin, feel free. Otherwise I'll be skinning as close to the Invision default as possible.

Not impressed so far.

Two notes:

1. The old forum had various links that allowed one to go straight to the newest post in a thread. So far, the maerks that indicate new posts in this forum do not seem to act as links.

2. I support the idea of skinning this as close to the old forum as possible.

I don't really like it... Yet at least.

Three complaints
1. It's too spread out... For a lazy person like myself, GAH!
2. I hit reply to post, the log in screen pops up, I log in... It kicks me back to the homepage! Again, for a lazy person like me, getting back to this thread was a killer...
3. The smiley's are a different color!

B) Trivial I know

Not happened to me yet. Nor has it ever.

Nor, has it happened to you, you almost nonexistent entity.

My original reaction- :blink:

Now?- :)

My only gripe is that (since Im on a super slow computer here in India) the avatars take a long time to load. Until they DO fully load, they are GINORMUS....

Yeah I dislike logging in. The problem flumes had can be solved by logging in as soon as you visit the board rather than not logging in, finding somewhere you want to post then trying to log in. :P
Goto last post... is a function that's not working but should be. I'm going to take a look at that next week.
I've only poked arround the Admin CP a little, but I think I can reload all the old smiles if we really want them.
The readme first is borked, and our custom scripts are as well. I don't think these can be fixed - eventually I'll get round to writing them from scratch again.

What do people think of the search function?

1. Where be the birthdays?

2. Too busy.

3. Hard to find new posts.

4. I am generally resistant to change to begin with, so . . . :'(

Yes.
Huh?
Will fix.
Once the indexing is done, this change should give us a working search system.

Nag, something else I've notice. When you need to open a tag, it provides you with the opening and closing tags. Not sure if there is any other way to fix that, but I prefer the old way...need something quoted or italicized...click on the button twice. Once to open, twice to close.

I think that cat could have played on an 80's commercial dealing with crack cocaine!

Crack kills!

If the tags could be changed to double click, I still wouldn't - I like the single click.

But I'm fairly sure they can't be changed. Is doHTML working?

[dohtml]<i>this is a test</i>[/dohtml]

[Edit]

No.

I have one somewhere I think. I'll do some searching around on some old forums I used to manage and see what I can dig up ZB wise.

Also, lolgoggles.

You may need to edit the user groups again for that.

These smilies suck. Just saying. :unsure:
