Either the new look finally made alot people browse polycount or there could be a little bug with the amount of viewing people. It says there are over 2600 people on the boards atm, which would be insane compared to before.
Adam, thanks for listening to our feedback and working so hard on it. And thanks to the rest of the team for fixing things that are broken.
I'd hate to pile on even more requests, but I was wondering if it would be possible to make this current theme as an option? For a forum such as this I've always found it better to have a horizontal user information bar above the posts, instead of on the vertical, left hand side, since we then have more horizontal room to display our images in our posts.
or some variation thereof, linking the LAST few pages. I don't believe I have to point out the obvious reasons why.
OK, too much posting already. Sheesh.
After looking for 15 minutes for the solution I asked the vBulletin forums for some help and this isn't possible to do without some custom scripting. I'd like this feature added so we'll see what we can do, just don't expect it in a timely manner.
Clicking on a thread link no longer takes me directly to the first unread reply, it loads up the first page. Have to click the damn icon. Fix!
This is correct. However! Click on this button beside the forum link will! AFAIK this isn't an easy fix. Click the icon for now and deal with it. New forum software, can't expect all habits to come through perfectly. :P
Uhm, you're a douchebag! How's that? hahaha =P. You're actually being really helpful and not mean to me, it's quite the change of pace from you and I really do appreciate it.
I'm really trying to make this something the majority of us can like. I have one major hurdle I need to jump over (actually, I need Vito to pick my fat ass up and hoist me over it) then I can do some larger updates rather than bugs.
Just logged in today an BAM, am I on the right forum?
I'm game for the new theme but I have a few requests:
- Some sort of color change between posts or change posters name color.
Pior is spot on with his color arranging Idea, I support
- Please no ratings or star system. I love Polycount for not having this. I like going to a forum where you remember people by their name and their art style and not because they need or have more fnk stars to feel special.
- Changing the order of the buttons would be nice too, they seem a little out of place:
Example:
New posts, FAQ, Search, Members List, Calender, User CP, Logout
- Putting the green Polycount Smiley near or on the top bar would be a nice touch.
- Don't know if some one has mentioned this but in the go advanced menu I miss the extras like bold fonts a the other tidbits that were in their, I assume you will get to these when you have settled the more important matters.
- avatars: I know your working on this, so I need to say no more so you don't punch me.
But other than that everything seems to be in tip top shape, nice job upgrading.
I'll report any bugs if I run into any.
lol.. thats out of our control unless you are magic and can fix it for us.
I managed to change it when I set up and designed this forum (I didn't design the logo!!). Was some time ago now, and I don't remember exactly how I did it. When I get some time I will look it up, unless you've figured it out by then.
I do remember I had to alter the icons, and there was some alteration of the hardcoded MCE WYSIWYG GUI (I think).
i like the color of thread-rows based on thread status (sticky, popular, etc)... was one of my main gripes with the old forum colors, was hard as hell to tell the sticky icons apart from other icons, and differentiate it from other stuff.
icons in general for thread and forum stuff are hugenormous... smilies fo life!
edit: want to also be able to show more threads per forum listing page... is that possible? Only shows 25 atm, makes me sad panda
Did you use the quick reply? If so, try the "Post Reply" button instead. It's large, plenty of room. Or hit the "Go Advanced" button beside the "Post Quick Reply". And thanks Cody :P
I don't know if this has been mentioned, so sorry if it has. But we need a better ranking system, or the old one. Everybody seems to be a senior member. That shits too easy.
Thanks Per - I didn't see those before! Yeah, I usually just use the quick reply. It's there, one less click. Maybe I'm lazy....? I'm not sure if these were mentioned yet:
*Auto jumping to the first unread post in a thread (I loved it once I got used to it!)
*Different background colours for the thread titles that have new posts on the board list. Better than icons - easier to see.
I don't have a complaint, Im just too much of a hurry to find the Kudos thread. So great job guys on the new look! Hopefully I will feel better soon (mentally) to get back into the roll.

Sticky: What are you working on? 2008 Edition (
Champion! Thanks, mate.

Yes, I think this is what it should be too...

Nevermind, you have to Go Advanced and list the reason for editing...

Great find Per, thank you
This is correct. However! Click on this

Keep them coming!

Always been there.

I think the logo on top, should be the same logo that is on the main page of polycount. I like it better, but it just might be me...
Missed the boat, it was darker before.
I sent you a PM about helping out.
;D
I like it, and Pior's explanation is right on the money for me.
Avatars on the left, less junk in the vertical dimension (less scrolling), alternating post colours.
Could we also get a taller reply box? This one seems really cramped.
Great work guys! (and to all the haters - change is good sometimes. so shut up and fuck off)
+1
Ok, so the new boards are growing on me so I suppose I will get use to them, but I would like to see the old Polycount smilies come back.
*Auto jumping to the first unread post in a thread (I loved it once I got used to it!)
*Different background colours for the thread titles that have new posts on the board list. Better than icons - easier to see.
Or this? :poly105:
And.. uh, wtf is this!? :poly114b:
Polycount Smilies.. THATS WHAT.
Now to figure out how to make the "More" text darker!
edit: lol, nope
nice
I don't know, I like the text the way it is, its readable. Soul would read black text on a black background if he could... :poly004:
- You have included 452 images in your message. You are limited to using 10 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.
It would be nice if someone could fix this, i think maybe a limit of 100 or 200 smilies per post is a little more appropriate.Images include use of smilies, the vB code
