Duce Lewis Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks for the "Heads Up" Rickety Won't be such a shocker this time
Rickitycrate Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks for the "Heads Up" RicketyWon't be such a shocker this time Yes Duce. I just hate when that happens. I accidently ran across this so I was happy to pass it on.
+Olham Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks, Rickity - and mucho luck for you forum boys, that everything will work fine!
Duce Lewis Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Leaves us with more time to fly! Yes, yes, we'll probably be too busy to even notice!
Rickitycrate Posted August 22, 2009 Author Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Bump just in case some did not see. Looks like it begins late tonight. Erik has posted more information at same link. Edited August 22, 2009 by Rickitycrate
Broadside uda Barn Posted August 22, 2009 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.
UK_Widowmaker Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 hhhhmmmmmm Sorry, but I dont like this at all!
Burning Beard Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I kinda like it, but it will take some gettin' used to. Beard
Hellshade Posted August 23, 2009 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
Rickitycrate Posted August 23, 2009 Author 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.
+Fates Posted August 23, 2009 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.....
OlPaint01 Posted August 23, 2009 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
Rickitycrate Posted August 23, 2009 Author Posted August 23, 2009 Thanks Fates. Guys check Fates post above. Looks more familiar.
Duce Lewis Posted August 23, 2009 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
Broadside uda Barn Posted August 23, 2009 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! :)
Bullethead Posted August 23, 2009 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
+Fates Posted August 23, 2009 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! :) 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
+Olham Posted August 23, 2009 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.
+Hasse Wind Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I was about to start complaining about the new look of my favourite forum, but it seems there's no need for it. Thanks for all the hard work, you owners of this site.
UK_Widowmaker Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 one good thing is, at last...I get a clickable link in Outlook! (always had to copy and paste in the past)
