Is the new theme perm?

ugh.. gray.. we need to replace gray with awesomeness...  I suggest the colours and style of the main site

Hmm... none of the pop-up windows seem to work for me anymore. Like the smilies, hyperlink or preview window.
They work fine in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. And it's not my popup blocker either.


Seconded!

:'(  We're not in Kansas anymore

It was a lovely/surprising surprise :)

I'm sure there's lots more to do so let's give him some room. :O Lol.

To me it is as well. Like a punch in the face. I don't really mind what it is as long as it isn't so jarring.

Definiton for SCAMP on urban dictionary:
1) Yet another word for a bowel movement. Used by a small group of octogenarians from mid-Mississippi.

2) An insult nickname for a male with bad cleanliness in the bell end region, caused by not cleaning under the foreskin leading to a fishy or cheesy odour
(scampet)a person with scamp.

ON-TOPIC: The emotes/links/image buttons on the WYSIWYG thingy work fine when "quoting" a previous post. They do not work when making a new post. All the other ones do.

The old forum was wayyyyyyy better. Everything is soo hard to read here.

Jalonso (scampet of 2006 as he is now known) agrees with me about this. I am not being ungrateful for the upgrade - but was it really neccesary? I think a dark red/purple and white forum would look nice.

There were a number of reasons for converting the forum besides the design (which is temporary).

 

I like this new style. :P But I do like grey so that may be why. :P

On my monitor the only thing i cant see well is the orange upon the grey.

I think I've fixed the avatar bug and a few other bugs.  I'm almost done with changing themes for the forum as well.

I'll look into the image zoom bug tomorrow.

Could you make the <hr> type things similar to the old ones? I took them into account with my sig image, and the top line of pixels were that line. 

By tomorrow night you'll be able to use the themes from the main site.  As I mentioned earlier you are all welcome to make your own themes and send them to me if you don't dig the new design.  

The old orange one was definately better.

The only things I wish we still had was the previously sized font and that the signature lines didn't go all the way to the other side. thanks sedge for workin' on it.

oh sorry i didnt see that >.< I just skimmed through this thread

The zoom and themes will be fixed tonight (got it working on dev).  I also added "time offset" to the main gallery site.

Could this be changed so you can empty your own outbox ?

FYI - Mac related update issue #649
Most java, popup window do not work throughout the forum. Some do so its not my set-up. Mostly these are noticed in the settings, PMs and help sections.

EDIT: Today I noticed that the buttons that were below the sigs are now a drop down menu on the member's handle. I think they were much better as they were. Unless you know where they are now, PMs, the gallery and profile will go unnoticed by most.

This system does not work. Themes don't work, every time I visit forums, theme is switched back to default. And it always automatically logs out from the gallery. Something is messed up here.

More observations:
I am so happy the link/image/emotes work now . The character button is awesome too. I can finally copyright all my comments
I will mention that unlike the older version that automatically deleted the "http://" when placing a link. This new version does not, yet has a side thingy with the "http://" prefix preset. It took me a minute to figure out that you must remove it yourself when linking from Photobucket. I'm all for progress but this seems a step back.

EDIT: Other observations: I tried to make some copy in a very light grey color on one thread and scaled an emote to 2x in another, something we all do around here for emphasis. Neither took effect on the post.

on some themes i cant see the text within a quote box because its the wrong color.

Ok, it starts to piss me off now. Why the heck text has to be almost the same colour as the background? And if the sun is anywhere around me, I can't see the text on the screen at all. And don't tell me to turn my contrast bigger or monitor brighter, it is as it should be, normal.
