Upgrade Comments Thread
« on: November 21, 2011, 04:11:12 AM »
The forum now runs on SimpleMachines Forum 2.0. This upgrade was pretty abrupt, but I'm glad I finally got to do it. When we started 2 years ago we knew of SMF 2.0 but did not want to use a beta. This is good because we will have more modification options, and some things that required a mod in SMF 1.15 are now a part of the forum.

All of us will have to learn the new drop-down menu system. It does save some clicking and might even save us bandwidth.

As for the theme, I want to let you know that you can change it.

Head to Profile > Account Settings > Modify Profile > Look and Layout

The first option there will let you see the available themes. Choose among them and find one that fits you. I'm using the bright green now. I might even switch around from time to time :)

I hope that no one has any major issues with this upgrade. This version has been in development for a long time and is the result of the combined effort of a lot of dedicated people. You will find new features and changes to the way things used to work. You can talk about features and changes in this thread. Feel free to express your opinion about the upgrade and anything we might do to improve your experience. I am sorry but not every idea can be implemented.

Note There are few plugins installed right now. I will work to get those features working as quickly as I can. So if something's missing, it might be due to a plugin.

The upgrade is fine and all but where did my bookmarks go to? I hope they're not on a shoping trip because I know I won't see them again if they are.  :D

Nothing really big, but we seem to have lost the link to the gallery along the top, or is it just hiding somewhere.

Everyone please keep in mind that Carl will have to re-install a lot of things and it will take some time.  Patience is appreciated.

I'm glad they are working. Right now, attachments bigger than ~3.5MB are not working. I'm looking into it now.

In general I like it a lot, including the restful on the eyes colors you chose.  However, can you make the font size larger or can I?  I'm having difficulty reading the words.  It seems the other format was bolder and/or larger print.
Even just bolder would help a lot.  Thanks if you can, and thanks for constantly improving this forum even if you can't.  Carl, you truly are a wonder and we love you for all you do for us.
What?  Grannies can't play games?
I speak perfect Nooblik, (and some Simlish)!

Thought I was losing my mind when I got on the forum this morning, lol.   If I had read this first, would have known why.   Looks great Carl.
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
