Title says it all. BASK IN THE ALMIGHTY ETERNAL GLOW OF A PRISTINE, DEFAULT VB3.5 BOARD!!!
Btw, be sure to refresh on the main page, and a few other pages, so you recache some .js files and such that are neccessary for various new or improved functions.

That was fairly quick. Everything looks and works good so far. If I notice anything wrong or seemingly wrong, I'll be sure to post it here.

Well I don't see much difference really but whatever it was I'm sure it was awesome;D.

Glad to see a quick return... *Bellows of joy*

Good job...faster than I thought it would go. No shoutbox. *Cries*

Hm. I don't really see much difference, except that it seems to be lacking in some areas where it didn't before. I can no longer see my avatar in the left upper corner when I enter the site, which I used to enter into my "previous posts" and whatnot. Doing a Quick Reply, which is all I ever use, is more troublesome now, as well. I can't simply just type, I have to click on on a new button in order to type anything.
Well, granted, THAT one isn't all that big of a deal, (my finger could use the excersise) but it's still a change,nonetheless.

I guess that it is nice. I dont really see much difference from the previous versions though.

Link to LoGD is gone too... gotta get it from my freinds; I always came in through EF.
Good to see it's up though!
Dark Marmosett
01-20-2006, 07:33 PM
Also I just realized that anyone that was staff aren't anymore. When will that be redone?

01-20-2006, 08:47 PM
Well, of course, these things take time to facilitate...
I know from experience of having my own boards that went dead... sort of...

Pretty much anything that we had, but isn't here now was a hack, or at a least a mod I did. I'm talking about 85-90%.

01-20-2006, 09:00 PM
That much!? Whoa!

like I said before... the forum was modded out the ass... so probably 3/4 of the stuff that seemed commonplace was really a hack.
anyway... it'll be back up to something close to what it was soon. just be patient. :P

Yes, it'll be back up to normal, though it could take up to a month, depending on the speed at which I can re-add stuff.

I know. that's why I said something close to it.

I'm surprised mood and/or location wasnt a hack.
Lancet Jades
01-20-2006, 10:43 PM
Location is a default vB feature. Mood is just a profile field I edited into the postbit.
Not everything that is missing was a full hack. A lot of really minor stuff was just small html edits I did to improve the appearence of the site.
I thought the main page looked different...

Bloody good work guys, it seems to be working smooth.....smother than usual really.
....must say, it's a bit difficult to get used to it....but I'm sure it will grow on me....

I see nice changes already! Good work!
The Avatar is back up when you arrive, and the thing with new posts is up too, albeit in a different spot.

That's actually just a temp welcome panel. I plan on either refining it, or getting the guy who did the old one to make one for 3.5.

looking good boss, I dont care too much if we lose shout count this time, wont be the first time, doubt I will whore them again though

Umm.....Its not letting me sign on with AOL. I'm having to use Explorer to sign on. When I use AOL, I type in my SN and password, it goes to the redirect screen and then right back like I haven't signed on. Its probably my computer, I'll try again later. Whatever, I'll figure it out.
Nevermind it suddenly decided to make an ass of me, its working fine. :D Oh well, everything looks great, but not sure about losing my thread count, makes me sad, cause I had a lot. :(

LOL that's what it says about me too.
I'm loving the upgrade. People with fast connections may not notice but I've noticed an increase in speed while posting.

part of that can be because of the lack of things to be loaded on each page at the moment.

And apparently my accoutn is screwed up. I can't veiw the post percentage thing at all which is supposed to be under the banner on the main forum index page.
Lancet Jades
01-21-2006, 03:49 PM
I deleted it, because not only was it ugly, but it slowed down the forum.
Dark Marmosett
01-21-2006, 04:10 PM
Oh...now I'll never find out what my post percentage was.
The rep is really bright... My eyes hurt 0_0

What's with those rep badges anyway?
Lancet Jades
01-21-2006, 11:06 PM
It replaces so much rep. Its an upgrade to the old rep hack we had >.>
last i checked i had like 6 badges... is that a good thing?
and now they arent there...? lol what happened to them?
*watches my rep pwn you all*
only cuz you stole my badges you meany!... givem back! ALL 6! lol

Oh so thats what they are for. Woot I have 3 and I"m better than Lades!
Zelphiel
01-22-2006, 11:22 AM
if they were about half the size they are now they'd be ok...
...maybe we should look into a graphic for replacing those... or just resize them.
btw... have any of you tried editing a post yet? so far it's one of the new general forum features that I like.

01-22-2006, 11:30 AM
I'm already really liking the added features to new posts and the editting of posts. Not too bad admin crew.
Oh and Cid, *watches my rep pwn you* ;)

I've edited a few times. It kind of gets confusiong with it coming up where the post is. Also I'm having trouble while using wuick reply. When I type somethign in it sometimes everythign in the qucik reply box dissapears and I have to restart again. >.<
