Bob Lion54 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I will take some getting used to, but...... NICE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I agree. I'm used to the older LF, but I LOVE the JK section now. Only suggestion I have is throw some OT charecters/scenes into the Star Wars banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katarn07 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Are the long load times a temp thing or what? I've got cable and it takes quite awhile to load. Also, the smilies aren't as good as before; they're kinda crappy quality. Also, when it comes to banners, OT and EU > PT and Clone Wars cartoons This is me being nitpicky. Everyone voted this place being amazing and are afraid to voice concern. I was the first to vote just 'good' because of these (minor) concerns.

Aristotle Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Loads are just a temp issue. We're re-indexing the 1.7 million posts into the new search for the new version... and it's really putting a heck of a strain on the processor. That should be completed within a few hours and we'll be back to normal speed. In fact, we should be faster than normal as v3.0 uses better table formatting.

Smilodon Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I've never been on a bord with vb3 before, so I'm kinda unfamiliar with the handling at the moment ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 It looks great, congratulations everyone who worked on it. The front page is the best re-design I've seen so far though The only complain I have is, as Katarn07 said, the load times are very slow. Every link I click there's a 30 second delay before anything happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveBB Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 It really looks great, the header in the monkey island discussion is a bit empty on the right but for the rest it looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG-64 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Not benefiting me personally. Had to scrap my new sig because the forum colors don't alternate anymore, and my backup new sig because it was too big due to the transparentcy and got me a pm from kurgan, and just stick with my old sig though I had to optimise it to fit the >50k limit kurgan set for me. The avatars aren't any bigger like I hoped they would be. [Woot, they made them bigger. ]The new smilies aren't that great. And the name glow, instead of being fixed for firefox, seems to have been scrapped completely. The new look is ok I guess, but it will take some getting used to. And I noticed highlighting to insert tags into a post works now, which is good. Other than that I don't see what's changed. So far, maybe somewhere between "...nice, really" and "eye gouging"? But maybe that'll change over time. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChAiNz.2da Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Absolutely loving it! I'm pretty much going click happy to unlock all the new VB3 goodies... especially loving the click on poster's username to get the options menu Great Job to all of those invloved, and the relatively short downtime for the upgrade was.. simply put.. shocking! I wasn't expecting it to be up as soon as it was.. but I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katarn07 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Love the huge avs as well. What are the 'restrictions' on sig pics? They were supposed to be no bigger than 500 x 90 back in the day. I see most have big ones (some bigger than mine). Is that whole policy gone or not enforced? And will there be alternating banners with each subforum you go into or not? If so, can the collecting people pick what would be on it? Not that anything was wrong with the last one we had, it was mostly stuff none of us collected. Just again, something not too important but something that would be cool to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 There are no stone-etched signature limits right now, though unreasonably large ones will be removed. There'll probably be a hard restriction placed upon them at some point, since it's inevitable with a forum of this size that plenty of people will disregard others' viewing quality.

Char Ell Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I say a job well done. Such a heavy duty migration and from what I experienced the whole thing went fairly smoothly. You guys did your homework and got it right. As others have stated the new look and features will take a little getting used to but I definitely think the vb3 a big improvement. EDIT: I very much like that my posts get an edit time stamp after I edit them I also like the fact that we can have bigger avatars Like the ability to see what other online forum members are doing/viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave them the dimensions I have until then. I only go to collecting (and at the moment here voicing my concerns and complimenting your great work ) so it shouldn't be a big problem. What can we expect for the dimensions? 500 x 100 or so? I think that's reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 What about the thing we had before. You can chose signature limits in your user CP, and that way everyone is happy. It might still be in there, not sure. I agree with the collecting banner idea. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 What about the thing we had before. You can chose signature limits in your user CP, and that way everyone is happy. Except it didn't always work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
