The official "What the hell is EMPiRE doing with the forum" thread

[gh0sth@cker]

Not just a new skin, whole forum updated. All nice and clean under the bonnet.

[TylerDurden]

We have been upgraded with a newer VBulliten forum and a new server.








Tyler!

[munsterbuster]

All those colors. I'm dazed and confused. Help, I get lost.....

[seaneyb2003]

wow i like the new look of ff what u guys think? :)

[lufcfan]

Hell yeah, I LOVE it!

[Eagle]

woohoo, nice nice :D
certainly takes some time to get used to the new design :cool:

[GLH]

:cool: nice, nice

Very cool design.

And the new WYSIWYG - Interface is fabulous !!!

EDIT:
First i wanted to ask, why my new post is listed before the post of KAMiKAZE.
Now i see he "wrote his post tomorrow" ???!!!???
Is there something wrong with the new vBulletin. KAMiKAZE's post has the date 04.06.2004, but today is the 03.06.2004 !!!

[seaneyb2003]

theres some things i dont like about it tho.......

when u get the email notification about the new post it doesnt go to the thread it just goes to the ff main page??? whats that all about?

[TylerDurden]

Apperantly this new board is a bit glitchy. I actually like the new appearance as it gives more of a XP feel to it. As far as getting used to everything Im sure thatll take some time.

Maybe we can all report our bugs or glitches here. Or in another more appropriately named thread. ;)




Tyler!

[seaneyb2003]

kool, well that bug is fixed now :) looks nice bit like ownz new version board looks cool.

[EMPiRE]

Hope you like the new layout

This new vBulletin release is far more advance & packed with new features than the old version.

As mentioned some messages are before others, this is because the server time was totally wrong... everything seems to be working fine now

[JoyBoy]

:cool:

Just filling this to get minimum 10 characters ;)

[khafan]

Enabling the "User Reputations" would be nice. :D

[TylerDurden]

Is it me or are the posts aligned depending on each members own time setting?


For example Kamikaze's post has been dropped down repeatedly because (and Im guessing here) his particular time setup.???


Tyler!

[seaneyb2003]

yea i think so tyler pritty cool isnt it? :)

[Warlock]

It will take a little getting used to but i like it. Nice work Empire
Weird it posted this ahead of KAMiKAZE also :confused:

[spedmetal]

I like the new lay out...but I also had this problem.

[KAMiKAZE]

I don't know but the new skin is not very familiar to me, the old layout was better I think. Ok i understand EMPiRE if he wants to update the forum for some other reasons like security.

RIP good old design

[spedmetal]

Hey whats this user reputation thing

[spedmetal]

I dont know if its just me but I have to hit the back button twice every time I want to go back just one page.....kinda strange

[crazygamelover]

Whoa! Now this is totally awesome. It will definitely take some getting use too, but nice work Empire!

[NorthViking]

Nice upgrade, vB3 is great ;)

For those who wonder, this skin is vB3 default.

The width on the board is a bit too wide so the horizontal scroller appears, else it looks good :)

[KAMiKAZE]

hey I am the official thread opener. and now we got some kind of bug in this thread. maybe i should have waited a little bit longer after the "new" forum was going to be completed...
yesterday i wasn't able to post, maybe cos yesterday my post was made today lool and some error occured: you can only post once in 30sec!!

very confusing .... now lets see who is the real h@cker lol

edit: i attached a new sonic for you NorthViking have fun

[gh0sth@cker]

I dont know if its just me but I have to hit the back button twice every time I want to go back just one page.....kinda strangeYep same for me.

[GLH]

Clincking ONCE the back-button works fine for me.

[seaneyb2003]

somethings definatly gone wrong dudes. Right i replyed to a thread in the xbox forum about halo 2 and i just came to surf the ps2 forum and a thread called ea patching yea and it said exacly the same as it did on xbox thread there is something really buggy on this forum. hehe :)

[krondike]

where is The Unofficial..... :confused:

[seaneyb2003]

krondike that sig is bad man whoeve done that, that is wrong i would neva do a thing like that and thts infringing copy right law 2 !

[psx_paul]

I like the new board layout, keep up the good work EMPiRE :)

[seaneyb2003]

yea its nice gonna take some time 2 get used to :)

[psx_paul]

@ EMPiRE - Just noticed that the board seems to be missing the User CP > Edit Profile > Additional Information module

[seaneyb2003]

yea i thought there was something missing when i tryed to change some details.

[KAMiKAZE]

I have a problem, too. when i want to insert smilies or hyperlinks nothing happens??! so i'll put them in manually

[seaneyb2003]

yea and some of my replys go in diffrent threads! not sure what thats all about. :D

[KAMiKAZE]

maybe you clicked on my link ("thread") and posted there it had the same topic ("true crime")!

[Quall999]

At first I really liked the design. The only thing I don't like much is the post layout. How the user header is above every post instead of the left of them..

[spedmetal]

I dont know if its just me but I have to hit the back button twice every time I want to go back just one page.....kinda strange

I see this has been fixed! Thanks Empire

[spedmetal]

Why is the members list disabled?

[spedmetal]

Anyone try and edit there Avatar lately and end up with no Avatar like me, with no way up adding a new one...grrrrr!

Oh and what happened to the button to report posts. I saw one the other day that was suspicious. Oh well, this new format looks good but that’s about it.

[seaneyb2003]

i know i had the same problem. to report a bad post all you do is look at the post and on the right u will see a caution sign press that. Sorry not good at describing things nor any good at engilsh

[spedmetal]

Oh yeah!!! No S**T ....thanks Sean I understood that just fine, never realized the caution thing was there.

[crazygamelover]

Red Triangle with an exclamation point inthe middle on the same bar as the date. date is on the far left and the report bad post icon is on the far right then from left to right would be your post rating.

LOL Never Mind............. :p

[seaneyb2003]

no worries sped

LOL Never Mind............. :p

Just an observation!!!!!! This doesnt show up when you are looking at your own replies. That means you CANT report yourself.......LOL :D :p

[seaneyb2003]

lol, that would be stupid to do that tho :p

[spedmetal]

OK!!!! Does any one know how to add an avatar with this new format! Empire are we not allowed to have avatars now?

[seaneyb2003]

well i dont see them either on ps2 ownz i cannot edit mine on there so it might be the new vb

[crazygamelover]

OK!!!! Does any one know how to add an avatar with this new format! Empire are we not allowed to have avatars now?

I took heed to this and didnt even try to edit mine. Maybe its not supported yet. I wonder if empire will be adding the avatar option back in. Surely there are other bugs to work out as well. It might be on the list of things to do but I guess we all wait to see if it becomes available again. Could be low priority at the moment.

[TylerDurden]

Well Ive mentioned this to Empire already. He has stated that he couldnt find a way to limit the avatar settings to 50 x 50 like it was before. As of this moment its at -1 x -1.

I think Empire is still looking but not sure if hes found anthing yet.





Tyler!

[crazygamelover]

I believe he has all of our interests and concerns top on his list but with all of the other duties as Administrator, it may take some time. If it is possible, he will find a way to make it available again. I am just glad the site is still up and running. :) Meanwhile back on the ranch, lol :D

[spedmetal]

Good point, unlike consolenewz as of late.

[crazygamelover]

True that!!! :D

[KAMiKAZE]

I lost my avatar, too... that was the point where i stopped posting on this forum *lol*

greez KAMiKAZE

[spedmetal]

OMG!!! My new avatar is on here!!! Who did that!! Thanks who ever you are (I think I know), and thanks Empire!!

[TylerDurden]

Your welcome. ;)



Tyler!
