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.

Kier just fixed that.

And An0n, look below your post..... it says when you posted it.

Here are two screenshots:

You can see a few weird things in there;)

Should be sorted now.

Perhaps not such a pure white?

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

That option Thunders talking about doesn't even exist over at VWatch. Not that I could change it if it did, the profile pages are well and truly b0rked over there for me and several others. We can change our options but the confirmation page won't load and the changes aren't recorded in the database.

Hmm, IceFire - can you shed some light on this? Is there some kinda of option hack you can put in that allows buttons to be turned off whilst keeping the smilies?

As for the white - it's bright, but fine

[Shrike]

You guys are complaining because of extra features.....

*sigh*

[Zeronet]

Its all good, a truely definative and worthwhile update.

EDIT: Ahhh ahh ahhh! Im not a valued member im Hangerman!

[Scorpius]

I really cant say I like it any better but its new to me but I'll warm up to it!

[Shrike]

Over a quarter of the votes consider the old UBB better.

Why?  Explain your logic.

You can change your title - or is that just me.

I think the old UBB looked nicer, though.

But hell, i'm adaptable.  miss my old siggy image, though.  Can I get it as an avatar?

Since Shrike asked, and I'm one of those 1 in 4, I'll quote myself:

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.

This is, btw, the fifth time I've tried to post this response, as the vBulletin system doesn't coexist well with NS6.

True...I have problems using Netscape at Uni.

Give me a title. Or at least change it back to senior member. Please?

[Zeronet]

I dont know how.

You should probably ask Remmy...he does scripts.  I just admin and whatnot.  Its probably a quick hack.  I'm sure we can help you there.

We apparently have some problems with profiles.  Any of you experiencing that problem at VWBB need to E-MAIL Remora or Orange.  Their e-mails are available on all major VWatch pages under the staff section or for now remora@volitionwatch and orange@volitionwatch.

[Jon Handby]

Sooooo, anything working fully then?
Just to say on AOL:UK works fine! Which is a first for a forum!
Anyhow, so whats the future plans for this then?

The place looks good.
Though I don't like the scroll bars.  Too dark, especially when next to the WHITE (ahh my eyes!)  message boxes.

The contrast is very high here.  Think maybe a 25,25,25 would look better instead of 0,0,0.
As for the scroll bars, could you make them thicker, or default to a % of the window size instead?
If they were bigger they'd be easier to see, not that I use them though, mouse wheel and/or pg up/down is what I typically use.

At any rate, you can never please everyone.  There will always be some critisism about something.
So work with it till you feel happy and let the rest of us learn to deal with it...

Untill we get mod status and can argue with a little more weight to go with our opinion.

[Stryke 9]

It's disturbing. This is now exzactly the same as the HOTU forum. Except that, as far as I can tell, it works.

[CP5670]

Wow; I can see what I am typing now! Thanks Kier!:)

All of my windows menus and programs are almost black, so I am used to a dark scrollbar.

[Xelion]

Okay I admit its good overall though blue takes over the rest of the forums so those little buttons are more interesting then anyones posting....the addition of attachments uploading is really good...I was waiting for that for a long time...but the other half of me thinks otherwise...


What were you thinking...changing the Forums so know one could noticed whos posting what...don't you know this colormatch is bad...theres to much text on the screen; all the unwanted properties...shouldn't it be cleaner and easier...you actually come to a forum to talk to the community not to analyse and program a posting!!!! What were you thinking.....
