    The upgrade has occurred and the search features are currently being reindexed. If you notice any issues, let us know here. Thanks for everyone's help in making this a smooth transition so far.

    In the next few days we will post some additional information on the new features within the forums.

    Re: Forum Upgrade Feedback

    Seems to have gone pretty smooth. Nothing seems to be messed up, but only time will tell for sure. Good work everyone

    1) Right now, it only seems to be cosmetic issues, in that the envelope icons have changed, buttons and hyperlinks seem bigger than before...

    2) Also, the "Acceptable Use Policy" link at the bottom of the page is in Times New Roman. Couldn't you make that the same font as the rest of the links?

    3) The "Post Icons" appear below this textarea when replying or creating a new therad. Now, a lot of us have a habit of finishing the reply and then pressing tab to move to "submit reply" or "preview post". Is there a way to make the Post Icons appear above the textarea, or is this a new default?

    Can we get the "good old" letter icons back, they're much clearer than the new ones. I'm on other forum which recently upgraded to v3 and I still don't recognise the icons well... I think they went backwards with them.

    Of course one solution would be to make custom icons that resemble the old icons, except that they'd look much neater

    Please check the invisible mode, it seems it is not working.

    I also feel confused with the new icons as well... And I also would like if you could solve the old problem we had with the comments in the VBCode tags when you implement them, some coffee would be nice, and cookies, a gamecube, a new laptop... Oops, sorry... I got carried away with the season's spirit
    We miss you, friend... Rest in Peace, we will take care of the rest of it.

    You can still press tab and then the "cursour" will move to the No Icon radio button, and you can press enter on that one, and you will posts.......I did that a few times when I was new to vB3, and I found out that it actualy worked.



    And I have to echo all the posts about the icons for new posts. I must admitt that I am not sure what icon is the right for when I have posted in a thread or not, even if I have used this version for a long time...and they are so BIG too.

    Ohhhh and it looks like the indexing isn't finished is it? Because if I search for NoteMe, then I get ZERO,ZIP,NILL,Nothing, and i used to get about 3155 hits. So if it is finished, then it is wrong, if it isn't then I am just posting ZERO,ZIP,NILL,Nothing..

    Other cosmethic things. The posts should be outlined with a px thin black line, and the post reply button, should not be giving a huggto the post on the bottom.


    If you don't see what I mean...take a look at this:

    Will we be getting one of those really neat reply boxes, which works like a word processror. Allowing you to format your posts just by clicking on the buttons and to see the formatting before you reply?

    It would also be nice to have a border around individual posts in a thread. They are just disappearing into cyberspace at the moment. Other than that, it looks good.

    In Threaded display mode, when you click in the listbox to nav to a new post, it sends you to the top of that page and you have to scroll down to read it. Just a small annoyance.

    I noticed this while using IE 6

    Is it just me or does the last post of each thread look like it's been clipped?
    I keep thinking there should be more and the browser hasn't render the page properly.

    Some good feedback: I just notcided in the code windows if the code it really big it adds a scroll bar so the pages height itsn't really big, I like that .
    When your thread has been resolved please edit the original post in the thread ()
    and amend "-[RESOLVED]-" to the end of the title and change the icon to , Thank you.

    When posting Code use the [VBCode]Code Here[/VBCode] tags to be able to use the code highlighting.

    1) New forum is missing "Ability to obtain a Print version" .
    2) I personally do NOT like the text colored blue. I find it VERY hard to read.
    3) I personally do NOT like the separate box color for quotes and code.
    Makes reading more difficult.

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the administrators for all your efforts in regards to maintaining the forum.

    #1. At the top of the thread there is "Thread Tools" menu. In it there is
    menu item "Show Printable Version". Is this what you were refering to?
