Ok, let's hear it....the good, the bad and the ugly!
There are still many things to do but it took all day to get this far...amazing how long it takes to convert and upload a database with 6,354,428 rows of data. And you idiots in the BS forum didn't help with your 5000+ smilies per post kept causing it to crash!

It is a bit of a change, with the layout, but I think I can get used to it.

Are BS threads going to stay on the front page from now on? Also, what are the criteria for a thread staying on the front page? It looks like the max is three threads per category. I can see threads getting bumped off the front page making some threads getting burried and not getting as many replies as before. --edit-- I guess it helps to look at the front page some. I'm still thinking some active threads are going to get bumped based on that 3 per section limit. Quote: Search days: 3, Limits: 3 topics per forum, Display: 35 posts

Like the colors, way easier on the eyes, atleast to me, than the other, brighter colors.
Like the icons, too. Cute feature with the top posters off to the side.
I'm still looking around, more feedback to come.

^ Avatar fail
Anyone else having issues when trying to reply?
When I'm highlighting text the scoll bar on the right jumps around a lot. It even does it just using the down arrow to scroll down through the text of someone's post. (only does this for me if the text is larger than the text window and has to scroll down)

It's gonna take some getting used to, but all in all, not much difference from this and the old site... I was hoping when I logged in to see a "Spam Cop" tag under my name, but nothing doing I guess.

I see that if you click on someones profile there's a "Friend" or "Foe" tag you can click...
Does that put the Foe on ignore or is it just a way to tell if someones an asshat? (The more foes they have the bigger the asshat they are)

Does that put the Foe on ignore or is it just a way to tell if someones an asshat? (The more foes they have the bigger the asshat they are) Within your account you can manage "friends and foes" A foe is Quote: Foes are users which will be ignored by default. Posts by these users will not be fully visible. Personal messages from foes are still permitted. Please note that you cannot ignore moderators or administrators. a friend is Quote: Friends enable you quick access to members you communicate with frequently. If the template has relevant support any posts made by a friend may be highlighted.

is there a gaming forum anymore? Yeah it's here. index.php I'm guessing it's not on the front page because of the criteria I posted above, or that you can also see at the bottom of the recent posts. You can get to the index on the left, by clicking the forum link.

The Color Scheme seems really good. I have noticed the red X avatars as well. All in all though it looks like the migration went pretty well.
Also Q you welcome about the smiley thread. I'm not denying my part in that thread lol.

I agree with the latest posts, once I can get into the code I will go back to the way it was. Also for whoever was asking you should have the ability somewhere in you UCP (user control panel) to disable word censoring.

I will probably add a couple more for policing spam because I can set different levels and it also logs what a moderator does so I will know if there are a shenanigans going on...

so far only a few things.
It logs you out if you return to the home page, kinda a pain.
And can we get a less intense style, these Air Force networks hate graphically intense sites. (Though I do like the new look) I dont mean as the standard one, keep what you got, but add another option for faster browsing.

I stay logged in whenever I go back to the homepage. Maybe it is something with just your network.
