sue me for this one spam post :p


Interestingly enough, I think at least 1/3 of my posts are providing feedback on mods; another 1/3 on feedback for renders and stuff about the Array; and the final 1/3 defending myself from Steak Jokes. :p

One of the many features and things we hope to refine as we get things operational... right now leave threads as they are, no sense in editing so many by hand - I'm sure users can work out how to copy/paste the URL into the address bar...

Oh, regarding us adding features and so on, we'll probably do things by order of importance, a lot of work has already been done and the forums pretty functional - theres nothing really badly needed now, it's just nice features :)

Smilies are very easy to do. Shouldn't take much time at all - see my new thread on them...

oh and an0n - just edit one post adding new things to do instead of posting once for each item or I'll reduce your post count to 0 :D

Not a bad Upgrade, I personally prefer UBB's interface but vB is a lot faster :)

He hasn't got any now - I don't like repeating myself... I'll probably put them back when I'm in a kinder mood...

Now - lets get back to the topic :)

As for the interface... like I said - we're working on it ;)

I think I liked the old setup better. It was cleaner and faster for me to browse. Besides that, it worked well with a unix browers (NS has some problems with vBulletin. If it were me, I'd likely strip vB down to where the HLP fora were, and then add bits back, feature by feature, until it reached a balance of clean layout and feature richness (there's lots of stuff here that's unnecessary). I'd like the IFrame back.

Other than that stuff, its not too bad. Once you're done straightening out the graphics and the like, it'll be business as usual, I expect.

One thing I'd like to see removed is the line of vB Code buttons on the New Topic and Post Reply pages like what they have over at VWatch.

Dude, that can be removed from the options section....

profile -> edit options -> Other Options (down the bottom) -> Use vBCode quick links on your message input screens?

Set that to no and the buttons disappear :)

The only thing I would like changed is to be able to read my posts while typing.:D I am using a high-contrast scheme for windows, so everything comes out black on black.:p Currently, I have enter them in notepad and the copy the thing into the vB window. Several of the buttons also look messed up; I just have to guess what they say.:p

You said already :)
Take a screenshot.... nobody else has complained about this AFAIK so lets see what it looks like on yours and we'll see if a fix can't be worked out...

I just tried that (I'd noticed the option before and though it did something different. Serves me right for not reading it properly) but that gets rid of the smiley panel as well...

I'm pretty sure VWBB is just done through the personal options.

Oh and the dates and time of posts aren't shown. It'd be nice if they were.
