This is the latest vBulletin software. Take a look around and let me know what you think! I noticed already that our smilies don't seem to work...
It's cool so far
I noticed the smilies too. But the forum looks good. Seems "cleaner" to me. Awesome job!
i don't like it i don't like it i don't like it.. lmao.. the brightness actually hurts my eyes a little, especially after skimming through 4EP lmao is there any way to change the layout? i zipped through the 'settings' and didn't see anything
I could use a little color here myself..I canned the white scheme here years ago
I'm having trouble replying easily ... it may just be that I'm not real bright :hick:
i hate to be "that" guy but it looks like every other forum now.
the excessive brightness of the forum should make up for it :cool:
Cool, I can shut off the sig
How ? I wanted to change mine
I unchecked the box on the below quick reply
LOL that made no sense at all
just un-check the box when you reply..
he said change lol.. top left corner, click settings and it takes you to the control panel
AH HA I did it
and I changed my sig too
is it just me, or do the link buttons in the top left corner move when you try to click on them?
I think it's just you
i'm freakin out man! lol
I'm not feelin' it. It feels like I jumped into 1996. Need some color.
Well........I kind of liked it better this morning. No offense,but it seems a little......generic. I will have to get used to it,but,it doesn't seem as "Home feeling' as it did. Plus,everything seems to just blend together.
HEY !!!! Where's my feedback rating???? !!!! I worked my ass off for that.
Well, this is..........
different.
Apparently the old styles we knew and loved are not compatible with this new version of the board. I'll make some new styles from scratch over the next few weeks. I miss Gunmetal already...
I hope I didn't sound like an a-hole (I'm cranky about other, non-forum things right now),but,the feedback system is really needed,and,as I stated,I worked hard for the 89 and 100% rating.
makes 2 of us.. :(
Edit.. these smilies suck too! well.. the few (very few) that work
I like the quote boxes. Those are definitely better.
We definitely need our smilies back. I think they made us man. That and the banner.
yikes apparently scrolling sigs are no longer teh thing either... And its kinda wierd how theres no "break" between a post and a sig either. They just blend together like its all one post.
After cruising around alittle with it, I like it. There are a few things to get used to, but for the most part, it is a better layout. Everything does indeed seem a little "cleaner".
It's all......fancy and new.
I think its the giant [SIZE="7"]vBulletin[/SIZE] at the top that makes it look so generic.
Certainly freaked me out when it was the first thing I saw when I signed on.
I will start keeping my shades near the computer.......
It'll take some getting used to, but I think it makes the site stand out from most other automotive boards. I also miss our color scheme, Eric said he's working on that though. I'm sure with little tweaking in days to come it'll feel just like home, along with some added functionality.
Awesome...I think with some color changes and maybe some layouts, it'll be cool...bTW, I'm a gunmetal fan too (wink wink nudge nudge) ;-)
Yeah...+1 vote for the new.
I hate change,this will take some getting use to. I'm with Vinnie what happened to the sellers feedback?
I'm digging it :cool:
It's defenately different. But like anything new it'll take some getting used to.
It is a little different, but everyone can use a little change in life sometimes.... The old version probably started the same way, generic.. We'll make it better then the last one, with all the bells and whistles. (hopefully with a little gunmetal sceme-age) ;)
I miss the Jerry icon already..lol
Remember, guys, this is brand new, out of the box. Because virtually no plugins and/or styles designed for 3.x will work with 4.x they were all disabled. This includes the Feedback system, unfortunately. I will work on getting Feedback running again. Eric says he'll do the styles. Hopefully Alex can get our banner back. I will have the smilies again if I have to personally re-do every one to get them compatible. And I promise, more goodies are coming.
there's a break.. it's just very close in color to the background.. if you look, you'll see a slightly darker line run from side to side above my signature
Not to sound selfish or greedy,and I hope it doesn't sound like I am.....Will our feedback system,if and when "activated",put us all back to our former status? I asked for,and pushed for the feedback system to happen on our forum because I'm a firm believer in it.Thanks Carmen,and I do think you're doing a great job.I'm starting to get the feel of the new house.It takes a little time and getting used to.
I think with coming improvements, this new setup will be very nice.
...hmm.....nope. doesn't show up at all. I am needing to get a new monitor though........ this one's lcd but dinosaur technology in terms of current lcd tech hell its not even widescreen...sigh...
There's actually a gray line that separates the sig
I like it!
yeah seriously, I can't see it. ...whatever. Doesn't really matter.;)
I feel like I'm out in the sun doing snow removal, My eyes hurt! That's not a joke. It's a bit to early for that to happen.
I don't care for it. It is bright and too generic.
I keep looking around, and it sucks the more I do.
I'm being patient.More changes are coming.I really like us to have "our" place (so we're not stuck on the Stang forums begging for crumbs......those s),and have been here for quite a while,so,we'll see what our future beholds.
Jesus, some of you guys make me wonder why I bothered...
Vinnie, your iTrader is back and intact...
I'm not worried...
It's like putting on brand new underwear... Sure it feels funny at first, but eventually it will feel the same as the old ones did.....lol
That one was for Mike...
I like it overall, but we do need some gunmetal.
for some reason i get booted everytime I leave a page and come back I have to relog in , then after 9 times of logging (it says thanks for logging on, then boots me out when the next page loads) in it's a 50/50 chance if I actually get on the site logged in.
Try clearing your cookies, I haven't heard of anyone else having that issue
As I stated,I appreciate all you've done.I know I am a creature of habit,and I'll have to adjust. I was upset when Ebay changed quite some time ago,now,I don't know the difference.I think some of us are still in a mild form of culture shock. I am. I mean no disrespect about what you've done for the forum.....and that we HAVE a forum !!! I'll ease into it.I also know that we aren't finished with our changes yet. That's it for the disclaimer,and thanks for the feedback system in place,.
Alright girls...header logo is changed, new viewing styles created (Grey, Gunmetal, Midnight). Enjoy. Or not.
yey
My eyes feel better already !!! Awesome !!!
Eric,you wouldn't say "girls" if you saw me out of my dress.
that made me swallow my spit the wrong way...lol
Lol !!!
Weird... I can see page 7 here in this thread, but can't get to it...
I couldn't see this page until I posted the last comment
was having that trouble too
wait a min...I just realized that there was another also window open with this thread... mabe the reason I couldn't get to this page if that window was open to page 6..... just a theory
wow my dislexia is really poppin out tonight. And I can't find the edit post button.... lol
Eric, I like the grey layout except one detail. The forum headings in the gradient black stripes are in black text making them difficult to read. The chatbox heading is in white text which works much better. P's&Q's
I'm digging the midnight scheme, myself
Everything is looking good. Keep up the good work. I like the chatbox, it's swell.
Is there any way to have the chatbox follow navigation? It's only on the home page, and I spend most of my time hitting the "new post" button and looking at new posts. It'd be nice to have the chatbox there too, so I don't have to go 'home' to see if anybody is chatting. Just a thought, I know you are probably flooded with minor tweaks.
having trouble choosing between midnight and grey... nice work Lovin the new header too
nope, decided on grey. Hey cool, I have a trophy next to my name:D
Hey actually I just noticed in Grey and Gunmetal, you can't see links. I mean they show up, but they just look like regular text, not links. Theyre the same color and not underlined. Just sayin
I like it:D
Much better,Thank you.
I like it !!!......................keep up the good work and thanks for keeping our home alive!!
I like too! Thank you
I think we can all thrive in our new environment just fine.
I'll tweak the styles when I can...thanks for the input. The new board software makes creating a style a lot easier, but it's still just as difficult as before to modify one.
I hate to be the black sheep but I miss the old layout :( theres just too much change for me to take in all at once :(
This is by no means a complaint , just an observation on my part , People keep motioning a new banner and I dont see one ..I just see a generic band with the Fox tbird/cougar name
I made a quick header graphic for the top just so we could get rid of the generic vBulletin image. It's not looking good to port the old header style over to this new version of the board. And I'm definitely not redoing them to fit. So this may be it for awhile.
Ok i just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything ..I'm still getting used to it but so far so good
Want to send me pics? I might see what I can PS up
I have no idea how feasible this is, but I think it would be kind of cool if there was a game where we could "race" Tbirds and Cougars, and maybe modify them a little bit. Idk if anybody ever played the Facebook racing game, where you could choose various cars, but it was kind of addicting. Of course, you couldn't actually control the car, but you saw a little image of the two cars going down a straight line for like 4-5 seconds, then the winner came out right at the end.
EDIT
You could also somewhat modify them, with like 3-4 different wheel choices, color schemes, etc, some engine parts (if I remember correctly).
Thanks for the gunmetal. Everything seems to be working fine for me. And thanks.
K, gumby, I got that top font color in the Grey theme fixed. Also, the Gunmetal theme is tweaked a bit more with suggested changes (link colors, background, etc). There's also a larger area in the top with the forum name.
I never knew you could change the color on here, I always just had it on the default. Now with everyone mentioning the gunmetal and othe colors I found it and checked them out. Now I'm hooked on the gunmetal too.
Wow I just noticed I no longer have a feedback score.
Right on. Red links, interesting choice. I likes it.
whaddaya mean? you have a 9 and 100%
That's crazy! It wasn't there a minute ago I swear! Maybe I'm just loosing it!! lol!!!
Random banners are back on all styles except for Grey. We'll keep one around without a random banner for faster loading and less clutter.
If you have no idea what this means...on every page, waaaaay at the bottom lefthand corner is a dropdown menu for themes. The default theme is bright white. If you like it toned down a bit, pick another style and the screen will refresh with your selection.
Enjoy.
Mine's set to Nick's Balls........good one
I like the gray the best,but,I'll take Nick's Balls so I can have the random banner.I feel safe with the banner.And now,thanks to Nick's Balls,I have that random banner. Everybody needs Nick's Balls. C'mon everyone,look at Nick's balls. LOL.LOL.
It's looking like home again! I like the random banners!
There's some strange stuff going on. One minute there is shiznit missing and when you look again it's there. Maybe it's me? It takes a while for the theme to take affect. It is pretty neat though.
rock on. the text in the forum headers is still black; general, technical, racing, etc.
I also nominate Nick's Spleen for the no-banner option....If you need faster loading and less clutter, you can look at that horrid green/blue layout! haha
:shakeass::bowdown:Gunmetal. Score! :bowdown:there now be this smiley!
Gumby, those header colors in the Grey theme are fixed now. Also, Gunmetal is greyed down even more. Still tweaking a few things, still can't find a few things, but we are definitely making progress.
It's really coming out great. Good job to everyone. And great idea with the chatbox and arcade (which can be highly addicting BTW)
[SIZE="1"]As if I don't spend enough time here lol ;)[/SIZE]
I may have just fixed the smilies too...they were missing but I had a backup of the old files. Seem to be working now.
:mullet:
cool they are there, except for the generics..... ;) :D :( ....
This might be just me, but the join date and stuff looks weird not bein lined up with the username.
Ahh...Now that is the Cat's Ass! :bowdown:
It's comming along very nicely guys! I do have a question though. A couple threads I'm subscribed to, when I get the email saying someone posted in it, and I follow the link it takes me to the very first post instead of the first unread one. Some work some dont. Is it just me or is it just something that needs worked out yet?
ah now the banner i centered again. Very nice. you know, after getting used to it an dseeing what it can really do, I'm really loviong the new setup. I canty type apparently either
Diggin the new setup. Like the midnight style vs the stock setup. Not sure I want to see what nicks balls look like, might try his spleen though lol.
New deal is all good. Needs a "Today's Posts" button so you can log on more than once a day and not miss anything.
