Upgrade done

Undertoad · 07-04-2004, 10:05 AM

Yeah, it's done!

At this point I'm sure everyone is panicking! I know *I* am, as I look for some of the customization I have left to do.

BUT look at all the new widgets and stuff we now have!

Undertoad · 07-04-2004, 10:13 AM

(And while changes are still going in and the templates are being updated... continue not to panic.)

Although I'm not sure how reliable it is, I like being able to see which forums people are looking at. This Quick Reply feature that I'm using now is also cool.

Trillian-zz9 · 07-04-2004, 01:02 PM

The quick reply thing is great, long with the rest, gave me a shock at first though.

richlevy · 07-04-2004, 01:04 PM

I like the new interface. Being able to see the most recent thread in each forum is nice.

Unfortunately, more information means smaller fonts, so these old eyes are trying to adjust.

I'm still looking foward to the adventure.

BTW, is there a spell check?

That's a lot of smilies!

Of course, now that every post lists my location, even if it is in my user bio, I might have to rethink the whole 'use my real name' idea.

I could go back to using a handle.

How does 'Big Dick' sound? Or is that considered bragging.

Uh, whoa. Looking good UT. I like it. It *really* took me by surprise tho. I guess that's what I get for getting online as soon as I wake up.

Undertoad · 07-04-2004, 10:32 AM

Oh look IMG codes aren't working! Oh look, all our usual smilies are different! Good gawd I've got work to do here...

BrianR · 07-04-2004, 10:49 AM

I shall not panic...I shall not panic...

Seriously, this is a slick new interface. I like the layout but will hold off any constructive criticism or in-depth reviews until you get it tweaked the way you want it and *I* have a chance to get used to the feel and look, as well as the new stuff.

Oooh, shiny ....

I don't know. Looks complicated. I'll have to turn the light on to go pee, or I'll bark my shins for sure.

Gee, maybe you should get up before the crack of noon

TESTING: In linear display mode, I used the "quick reply" button in Perth's post to reply.

i id the same to yours. why no quote in yours?

Beestie · 07-05-2004, 11:15 AM

If you view the topic in threaded mode, and use the quick reply box at the bottom instead of the quote button within a post, you get a non-quoted reply. There are too many ways to reply to posts, imho, and they all behave very differently and create vastly different impressions (some create unintended subthreads, for example). A subthread post that doesn't quote the parent can be misinterpreted since the post shows up in different places depending on the display mode. Read this topic in threaded mode and again in linear mode and you will see what I mean.

Overall, an improvement... Thanks for the effort, Tony. I look forward to seeing it with the rest of your customizations done.
