Broadside uda Barn 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Much harder to keep track of threads now....needs some sort of background, and also a demarkation line between stickies and daily threads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burning Beard 14 Posted August 23, 2009 I kinda like it, but it will take some gettin' used to. Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellshade 110 Posted August 23, 2009 hhhhmmmmmm Sorry, but I dont like this at all! I have to agree with you 100%. I realize a great deal of time and effort must have gone into the change-over, but the look and feel is definately at least 2 steps backwards in my opinion. I hope they don't leave it like this. It's literally not enjoyable to read the forums this way. Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted August 23, 2009 From what I read in Erik's post I don't know if this the final look. Give it a little more time maybe. It does seem to navigate faster for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Fates 63 Posted August 23, 2009 Guys, Read the full thread. When the forums initially come online the add-on features (gallery, download section, etc) will not work and I'll only be allowing the use of the main forum skin. The other skins that Fates has been working on (THANKS and shout out!) so diligently won't be added until after I can confirm that all the site cache's and member settings have been properly restored and put into place. This means for those of you used to seeing the "OFF" Branded skin set or your selected skin they will not work but instead you'll see the default forum skin. Here's a little sneak peak of your forum skin..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OlPaint01 0 Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Whoo Doggies...Where is CombatAce that we all knew and loved? This is really a sterile experience. I guess it will grow on me but what a visual change. Is this supposed to be a better experience? OlPaint01 Edited August 23, 2009 by OlPaint01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted August 23, 2009 Thanks Fates. Guys check Fates post above. Looks more familiar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duce Lewis 3 Posted August 23, 2009 Yeah the look and the Stickie boundry need some work Sounds like CombatAce might clean this up though OTOH There's a nice 'Multi Quote' Button on each thread and alot more options for Post writing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broadside uda Barn 0 Posted August 23, 2009 Erik's post says we'll have our skin back...heh, er...the old OFF skin. They're doing us a favor by letting us have the forum, while they continue to work on it. We should have the next few new pilots buy Erik and the CA crew a few rounds! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted August 23, 2009 We should have the next few new pilots buy Erik and the CA crew a few rounds! :) After they buy some for us, of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We should have the next few new pilots buy Erik and the CA crew a few rounds! :) Yes. You WILL have your skin back. We wanted to get the "basic", "sterile" forum up as soon as possible so everyone could still communicate. We are continuing to work on porting everything over....like the Downloads and Gallery....but getting everyone back into communication was the utmost importance to us. You will have your skin back very soon. PM me if you need my address to send me beer. Fates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted August 23, 2009 Hey, Bullethead - this is your chance to get someone else to drink your homebrewed beer! If you can bottle it, of course. I heard of "exploding" beerbottles home brews. But if you can, I'm sure, Fates has deserved a couple of bottles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
