Discussion of August 2004 Fan Forum Upgrade

There is now a 500 character limit on sigs

[dicaslover]

I like the pop-up tool tip like things when you hover over a thread title (I assume this only works on threads started after the change)
I really like that too. And I like the sig limit (sorry CAH). Overall, I like this setup a lot better. Maybe now I can fool my roomies into thinking I'm not always at that one blue website. :p

It's OK, I'm kind of surprised no one had made issue of my sig recently

I like the upgrades to a point, there's too much user name space, I know that vB 3.0 will let us have it similar to what we had previously in terms of name and other board "vitals" it would be nicer if we had that the way it originally was, I don't need to waste a 1/3rd of my screen on user names.

Besides the fact that the board now looks like a 5th grade girl set up the colors and drew up the smilies (no offense to girls in the 5th grade out there), and besides the fact that it takes a lot longer to load on dial-up, and it's harder to read, and some other stuff.....I actually can't think of anything that's great. At least it's suppose to be "flashier" than the old board. :mad:

I do like the fact that you can set up the message board so that you can read it like all the other message boards you read---oldest first!

So...when do we get avatars?? :D

Im not a big fan of this. I like the colors more, but thats it. I think the old board was much better, this one seems to have to much clutter on it. And I hate where the Poster Info is too. But at least we have the site back.

[bronconick]

I third, fourth, or whatever the request to move the poster info to the side if possible. The smileys look like easter egg pastels. The rest of it I've been used to, since I've been at other similar looking boards.

I think it sucks. Sorry to say that after the work you've done, but I hate it. But I don't like pants either, but still wear them - guess I'll get used to it.

I'm actually surprised they waited this long to switch, I wonder if vB 2.0 isn't being supported anymore? :confused:

[Rhett]

Sorry, you can not add yourself to your own ignore list.

So far this has been my biggest disappointment on the new board.

[Rabid Husky]

There is now a 500 character limit on sigs

That sucks, I liked seeing the whole list in your sig

Way to go admin!

I've been waiting for this upgrade since vBulletin came out with v3.0 almost a year ago. :D

I've been using this version of vBulletin on other boards for a long time and really like it!

Thanks Admin. :)

blah.

if we can't move the poster info back to the side, can we at least have some of our swear words back?

[French Rage]

Agreed. The admin gets to keep the poster names where they are, but we get ****, ****, *****, ******, and of course ************.

[BigPieps]

I like the new board.

Re: Swearing-

What's the big deal, bleach? It's not like it hurts anyone. Puck, puck, puckity, puckpuckpuck.

[SteveP]

OK by me -- but how about adding a Club Hockey tab at the top of the page?
