It’s new, it’s blue, woo-hoo !
What on earth is going on? Is this a permanent change?
The rolly-eyed smilie looks a little more benign – almost bemused instead of sarcastic. But hey, if the thing runs faster, I can live with it. :rolleyes:
Yeesh. Depressing colors. Geno smilies. 
:mad: and why does the embarassed smilie look like he was eating orange sherbert? :o
And the layout makes my fragile little mind weep.
Ditto on the not thrilled… Guess I’ll learn to deal with it though.
Like me! I want the smilies to have their color back!
There’s also a button for Insert Image. I wonder…
Ah. On preview I see it just puts the link in. Makes sense.
They’ve upgraded to the new version series 3.0 which I think is permanent. Hopefully, the layout isn’t.
Check out http://www.christianforums.org for a better layout. I’m sure we’ll eventually end up with a nice one. I wonder if there could be a friendly layout competiton.
Hey, I hit “Reply” in the box holding my post, and I got a box to write in with my previous post’s text. Wonder if the previous post will be in quote setup when this posts? Also it’s odd that the http link I put in the previous post to test the Image function showed up on preview but not in the posted message. Hmmmmm…
Likely there are “templates” that are applied, and they have to adjust/tweak the SDMB template to play nice with 3.0.
Ah, and I see that if you hit “Reply” inside the post you get quoted only the text that was written in that post. If you quoted something else it is deleted. Gotta remember that! :smack: :eek:
The boards don’t seem any faster, for all these changes. And the flow of conversation is really harder to follow with all the huge posternames in between.
I hope this isn’t permanent. I get enough “change for change’s sake” at my workplace.
Weird. It has a cartoon-ish look to it. I wish the column was wider, I also have lots of wasted space. BOO-YA
Eh.
Uck. Awful. Bloody awful.
I imagine the board is slow because everyone is trying to get back in, play with the control panel, etc. I expect that soon we’ll be hearing from the admins about the change, reasons, improvements, etc. I’m going to withhold judgment until then.
I also have wasted space on my 21" monitor, but there must be some way to adjust it that I haven’t found yet. I agree that the smilies are rather blah.
People people! The boards have been upgraded. When that happens, all the old customised styles are written over. It takes time, sometimes many hours, to repair such things and get them back to the way they were.
Rest assured they will get things looking back the way they were soon enough.
well i’m never turning “threaded” on again! That was horrible! Too bad there isn’t too many other new things to fiddle around with.
Ok, I like the changes - a couple of them, in particular, like:
Being able to log in at the top of a thread, instead of having to go back to the main menu
The “guided mode” for posting a reply
And has ANYONE noticed yet, that if you are registered with Yahoo IM, AOL IM, or ICQ, that your messenger logo shows up as part of your user data in your post? That’s NIFTY
Mostly testing, but I’m not sure I like this. Hopefully it’ll be looking more like it used to soon, but in the mean time the anemic smilies are freaking me out. :eek: in particular is just wrong - it looks like a ghost that saw another ghost.
Huh. And I’d forgotten I had a sig. Time to go play around in my user CP I guess.
hey, if i hold the mouse over the post link, it gives the first few lines of the post! neat!
