I like the new look...

[JOHN B]

I am also one of those in favor of keeping this clean/basic look to the Forum page. No busy background, etc...... I assume that the less work/bytes/style that goes in to the background of the forum page, the more "space" they will have to add new features? (LOL Yes...I am still pressing to bring back the sidebar "chat/cam" that was here for a short time, but took up too much "stuff"...<yeah...I'M tech savey....I said "stuff".... ....lol> )

This is the vbulletin default skin. What will JUB eventually settle on?

 

[Tadaa]

Jury is still out. Waiting for the final reveal before I give an opinion.

 

[Lefty]

I've been banned from twitter for life -- so I haven't been able to check in...

What the hell did you do to get so Lucky or is it just Karma?

 

[ravenstar]

I've changed my mind. It needs more cowbell. More cowbell!!!!

Everything is better with more Cowbells.

It feels like we've moved into a swanky new minimalist office complex doesn't it?

Thankfully though guys, as I've said elsewhere, don't forget that this is the skeleton, and a 'test' area for us to play with until the new forum is finished. We haven't got the new clothes on yet.

OK, good to hear. Performance is certainly improved but the look is too generic at this time. I'm glad we have a customized design on the way.

I like that the thread title is included in the URL for the thread - saves me a copy & paste when I occasionally send a link to someone.

 

[DonQuixote]

The guys are working hard to make the place faster and smoother for us.
Seth was reacting real-time to the color scheme pleas last night.
Yeah, this is a LOT easier on the eyes.

 

[Lefty]

This may seem trivial butt, Silver Surfer died in May of last year,

Can we bury him behind the Lead to that Forum. I, for one, lost

a good friend when he moved up. This visit the mans grave everyday

is beyond gruesome.

Could you set Tombstone territory with an epitaph of maybe 30 days,

then do the pick and shovel...leting us decide when to visit the grave.

Maybe petty butt, it is how I feel.

 

[DonQuixote]

Lefty,
I understand how this can be upsetting - the first anniversary of my dad's death is in the next week.
With the upgrade and all that has happened, having the thread come back up, my mind had blanked on the fact that Silver Surfer had passed - it was like he'd died all over again.

With the fire two months ago, death, and loved ones narrowly escaping same, has been heavy on my mind, too.

However, as I mourned Silver Surfer all over again, and came to realize that he's been gone awhile, it also became a source of great comfort to me - knowing just how close knit a family JUB really is - even though we may never have met in person.

I agree, it would probably be good to have a more generic cover post after a period of time.
Knowing that we lost some of the Garden of Memories during some work a few months back, I wouldn't want to lose the memories, though - and I know you don't want to, either. I'm just rambling. As you know, it's been a Reflective period for me.

I'm just thankful to see you back and making some posts with your extended family.

 

[Lefty]

I am trying "DQ". Butt, I am also somewhat stupid.
the fun and pleasure of my threads is all but dead to
me now.

I was with you through much of this last stressful and
emotional year brother. The Reflections thing was just
a strong example of something I strongly feel needs to go.

The life long list of infractions (real or Tower imagined)
slapped in your face 24/7 , an insult. Lame ass excuse
given..."we need to keep track of when you were naughty.
BS, that crap is stays in Vegas not slap you on your home
page....okay, I'm getting pisy and said I wouldn't. 717 posts
to go to see if JUB and Lefty,can stay married

And I still can't gets pics or bios or other fucking shit to post
I know, I know, Dumb ass Lefty.ink

 

[MoufOfKhaos]

I just hope for the return of what has been JUB for me for 6 years.

Right now the place reminds me, in looks alone, of gaygamer.net - and that's a bad memory.

 

[JOHN B]

I like the new look. I am getting use to the comment page, but since they are "public" and everyone reads them, it kinda reminds me of Facebook, which I hate. lol. I DO miss the Forum Comments. I assumed that the "speech bubble icon" below the avatar, was for giving Forum Comments, but where do you READ them? Or does that go directly to peoples open comment page on their profile?

edit:....and what does "Blog this post" mean????????

 

[Corny]

read comments like before: quick links -> comments or just "my settings". nothing has changed.

and why don't you just try the button

 

[redfox70]

Corny, something has changed about the comments. Previously they were on a page of their own, whereas now they are on the same page as the thread subscriptions.

 

[Corny]

and that is a problem .. why ?

 

[redfox70]

Not a problem, more of an irritation. One of many.

Edit: Topher posted while I was replying. And put it better than I did.

 

[Corny]

it only shows the subscribed threads with *new* posts. so unless you subscribed to half of the f&g forum, it usually won't be that much.

an anchor is a possible option, but that's not getting a high priority right now

 

[Corny]

just implemented a feature that was frequently requested for the old forum

 

[Corny]

there's also another frequently requested feature that was added. it might take a bit longer for someone to notice though - and i suppose that's inherently good
