Is it just me or did the SDMB get a case of the pretties?

I like the new look!

looks the same to me, what are you seeing? :confused:

Looks like there was an upgrade to vBulletin 3.0.7, and the default vBulletin 3.0 buttons are now being used. Doesn’t look pretty to me.

Am I crazy? I fail to see where anything has changed. Care to elaborate on your experience?

Yup, I see it also. The smileys have been changed into more cartoony versions of their former selves, the ‘New Thread’ button has been changed, the icon to show whether a user is online or not is a green LED. The icons showing whether a forum/thread has a reply or not have been changed also. I’m against it, personally, the new ‘eyes rolling’ smiley just doesn’t have the sardonic impact of the previous one.

only 2 of my smilies have been changed. :smiley: and :eek:

Oddly, I noticed some of these changes, then went to another thread and saw the old version (specifically, the doohicky that tells you whether someone is online, and some smilies.) Maybe they’re not quite finished yet?

Oh, I like!

If you can’t see the new look, empty your web cache and reload the page.

I don’t see anything different at all. Maybe because I’m using Firefox instead of IE?

i had to refresh a few times in Firefox to get the look.

It gets a big meh from me.

If you can’t see the new look, take the green pill.

That’s it exactly. I just went to the board using IE and it looks WAY different. How come not with Firefox?

I haven’t seen anything so far. On my post page, all the smilies look the same.

NOOO! Not the toothy grin smiley! He’s my favorite! sobs :frowning:

You’re right. I cleared the cache in Firefox and now see the new graphics.

OK, refreshing did the trick.

Whoa! blinks, rubs eyes

Very, very cool, man! applauds

(And we even kept the ‘putz’ smiley… :D)

I see it now! I’m using FireFox and had to force a reload (Crtl+R)

Hmmm…that’s odd. Six of mine have changed, and :smiley: isn’t one of them.

Some are good:
:cool: is still fine.
:eek: conveys horror nicely.
:wink: still looks…well, winky.
:stuck_out_tongue: is improved – actually looks like a tongue sticking out.

Some are not-so-good:
:rolleyes: is horrible. The whole sarcastic look is ruined by the half-smile. It’s more of a “daydreaming” look now.
:o was not helped. “Embarrassed” went from a “I’m soooo sleepy” look to a “I’m soooo stoned” look.
Aaaand, on preview, it looks like it’s not an issue anymore. Time for a classic: :smack:

Cockatiel, why don’t you have a title under your username?

Hmm, you’re not the only one. Did “Member” or “Guest” get removed?
