Nice the Posts are in the correct order finally... just have to get familiar with the new design

Linky times

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

It appears that no Posts made prior to the upgrade may be edited by Users, so any of our postings that have bad URLs are going to be stuck that way. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

Oh my. This is ... surprising.

Dammit, I *liked* the reverse post order... and the new interface is beyond hideous.

Oh well, maybe there is a silver lining. I'm sure the shrapnel admins wouldn't go to such trouble, merely to afflict the regulars. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hope so, otherwise I suspect we are going to lose major traffic on the Boards. Is there an old-board skin I can apply? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

hm i don't like the changes so far . i have to fully agree with rabe . the old forum had flair . this looks really like a step backwards http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif.

shrapnel could have done a poll if we want this . the old forum had a kinda unique look this looks so far not good .

Me likes it. Just add a few edit options, like choosing the fontsize, which is way too big.

Otherwise, it's going to be some pain in remembering to start reading from the top again, but it is a good thing all in all.

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

Me likey. Third the opinion on font size but if it can't be helped, reading Posts in order is still worth it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

There was a poll done. It was in Shrapnel General forum for ages.

Also, most of the changes you dont like are not changes. They are now user options in your profile.

Be nice people. The shrapnel color scheme converted (so at least we dont have the shouts about new colors too much), upload/downloads are back (one of the reasons we shelled out for this. please use the mod forum for mods and probably maps also), the accounts came across (beta's still need some tweaking), the avatars work, the forums came across, the threads survived (THANK GOD), the server is happy with switching to a php/mysql format (knock on virtual wood). All in all, as conVersions go, and sysadmin can tell you this is sweet.

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

Yay! Thank you Shrapnel! Now let's see how long it takes me to adjust to reading Posts in the correct order...

Hey guys,

I fixed the editing problem, you should be able to go back and edit any Posts you made in the Dom 2 forum. Richard is going to try to find a solution this week to convert the links from the old board into the new board format but this may take several days and we can't give any guarantees that it will work. For now though, you can edit the links to your hearts content! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
