I love it the new forums.

I especially love the "Quick Reply" feature at the bottom of the thread... weeee

Its great! The only problem is the large empty space at the top of each page. But I am sure that will be fixed soon.

What space are you referring to?

Ghryphen
2003-10-06, 12:18 AM
I would imagine between the menu and the breadcrumb

Hamma
2003-10-06, 12:18 AM
Nevermind, I think I found it. You referring to the space at the very top on new reply?

Ghryphen
2003-10-06, 12:19 AM
Looks like it needs for the logo though.

Hamma
2003-10-06, 12:19 AM
There was a space on new_reply that should not have been there. Damn margins

Am I the only one who gets these extrodinarly large blank space?

Incompetent
2003-10-06, 12:44 AM
i get them too, the black lines are getting annoying as well, the post reply button is on the wrong side and the forum nav buttons aren't on the bottom of the page.

Edit: well, the black lines got axed sometime between when i hit reply and finished my post

Hamma
2003-10-06, 12:56 AM
Patience.

As for that huge space, your using a mac. Thats the problem :lol:

There is a space up there, but its not nearly that big.

Jaged
2003-10-06, 12:58 AM
So you arn't even going to try to fix it :ugh:

Hamma
2003-10-06, 12:59 AM
I made a tweak. But it b0rks the warp gate logo, which annoys me :ugh:

It's alright. Not as cozy as the old colors. I htink i just gotta get used to it.

Hamma
2003-10-06, 01:13 AM
You will get used to it :D

Jaged

Please at least look into it. I am running safari on mac osx. The same thing happens on internet explorer for mac.

Hamma
2003-10-06, 01:29 AM
I don't have a mac that I can look into it on. Try upgrading your browser

Absolutely horrible. I hate it.

The old designs was much easier on the eyes. This just gives me a headache. No, seriously: it sucks. Go back to the old one.

[Edit]: Just to clarify. I hate the color scheme. I like the quick reply feature and the new format for replies.

[Edit2]: Why am I no longer a "contributor"? Does Hamma need more money? :P

Hamma
2003-10-06, 01:45 AM
Since that wont be happening, I guess you will have to get used to it :lol: This has been coming for a long time. Only reason it was delayed was because I was putting off VB3

^^ For Hamma ^^

Ugh! And the new quote format SUCKS. Get rid of italics on the quoted words.

Hamma
2003-10-06, 01:52 AM
Color scheme isnt going to change.

Im going to have to figure out how to do Contrib tags, that was a hack before. And I planned on tweaking the quote code

TekDragon
2003-10-06, 02:06 AM
I think the way quotes looked before was good. Easy to read and looked nice; proffesional.

Hamma
2003-10-06, 02:12 AM
Don't forget this is a work in progress, I am making some tweaks tonight then sleeping. But I will be tweaking it constantly over the next few days.

TekDragon
2003-10-06, 02:17 AM
Just wanted to say I edited my last post with the word "quotes" which i forgot to put in. I'm not bashing the color scheme anymore. It's your site and if you like this color scheme, then i'm all for it.

I admit, though, that i'm already getting used to it. Sometimes it's hard to accept change :(

Props on all the new bells and whistles, too. I especially like the ability to browse a forum topic by putting your mouse on it. That way I can figure out what people are talking about despite the ambiguos topic titles.

Hamma
2003-10-06, 02:21 AM
:lol: I didnt even notice that feature.

I like this new setup. Did you steal it or did you actually pay for it?

I've seen it before but.. it's always nice to see again. :D

Hamma
2003-10-06, 02:28 AM
eh?

Have you ever been to the main site? http://www.planetside-universe.com/ rofl, its a custom designed based on the main site :p

I was talking about the forum version. Ofcourse, I admire your website as a whole. ;)

Oh yeah.. theirs a main site...

Huh. How about that?

Not a fan of the color scheme. I don't mind gray usually, but this is a whole lot of it.

New interface seems spiffy though :)

Hamma
2003-10-06, 03:04 AM
ahh, I am a licenced user of Vbulletin, therefore I am able to download version 3 for testing ;)

Lise

Vbulletin3 is great, but I have a few gripes:

1. The color scheme is pretty grim. Perhaps not migrane-hard, but it's just... dull, depressing, flat, etc. etc. etc. It doesn't have KARMA, dammit. I know VB3 can support selectable color schemes, so hit us up with some of that shizzzit, yo. (And if it doesn't, I can give you the name of a friend of mine who can help make this place classy. Runs a VB forum and has designed over 100 hacks for it.)

2. I don't like that we can't see who's browsing a particular forum. Can we get that added back in?

Other than that, hawt.

It hurts mah eyes :(

Since you're a licensed user, go to vBulletin.org (http://www.vBulletin.org) and download the Pro Arcade hack.

That way, we can see who is the l33t3st of the Snake, Pacman, and Space Invaders realm.

In my opinion, I liked the old colors much better. Black, blue whateva.

Basically, this color skeem looks like hamma shat on my monitor.

But hey, its his site, and as long as its not neon pink, nazi red, or urine yellow, i will continue posting.

thx for the rockin site hamma :thumbsup:

sorry, i just dont like it, the color isnt very appealing :(

2003-10-06, 11:56 AM
I prefered the older one. I'm in agreement about the color.

Everay
2003-10-06, 12:19 PM
yea, i like the color alot better too, of the old one that is, i mean, this isnt bad, but itll take some getting used to

Onizuka
2003-10-06, 01:07 PM
if someone could fill me in, why does it say "No posts for u!" under peoples profiles. wtf

Ghryphen
2003-10-06, 01:10 PM
Becuase PSU doesn't show post counts because they can promote spam.

Onizuka
2003-10-06, 01:12 PM
wtfhs?

[FONT=Fixedsys]what are you saying?

EDIT: okay, i hit a font button?! I will never get used to this new layout.

I don't know if anyone visits the main site at all, but if you recall this is the scheme of the rest of the site. If you wanted to complain you should have done it when we released that layout. Because the color scheme is not going to change.

Yes, I can support multiple color schemes. Am I going to do it? no, why? because its a pain enough maintaining and creating one template. Nevermind two or three.

You can see who is browsing the forum, at the bottom :p

As with anything, some people find change hard. You will get used to it, you should have prepared yourselves long ago when I said this was coming down the pipe :lol: the old forum layout didnt match the site AT ALL.

beats me why hamma changed other things then the color. (not that thats bad)

Hamma
2003-10-06, 03:00 PM
Its called a new version of vbulletin, they changed stuff :p
