I like it. Everything is so big though. Nothing seems very compact. Less posts per page is my problem.
I am going to go on settings and see if I can't fix that though.

If change is good, more change must be better?
We'll get used to it but we won't have to like it :D
What got me is I had no access to this place all day :(

Me and my man friend (Magic Mountain Dan) don't like it. We hate change.
Ain't that right buddy?

This format reminds me of OSO. Once they changed I stopped going thier. Too much scrolling and everything is just too big. Beggers cant be choosers though!!!!

08-04-2004, 06:32 PM
I don't like how the names/info are on the top instead of on the side.
Other than that, It's pretty cool

Thank you ***boat for taking the time to upgrade the site...preciate it. :D

It's a throw back to a couple upgrades ago, where you could see the topic and the last person to reply to it. I like it. :D
Oh, and FJBR. :D

I dont like it whatsoever. It's confusing. Names and aviatrs are 8 times bigger then the post column.

dmontzsta
08-04-2004, 07:01 PM
The user info needs to be vertical instead of horizontal.
The colors need to be darker, this is like a girlish purple.

Sounds like it's time to go to the suggestion thread.

Did anyone else read that the style sheets are being worked on? When the new style is online, we'll have a whole new look to crap on. LOL!

Don't take too much time. The new style will be here shortly and you'll have a whole new thing to get used to.
... or perhaps they'll try to make it similar to the old style. You know... to sort of ease the transition. :D

Everyone calm down, we will be going back to a more compact version and the colors will be changing again. The upgrade process on a board this size is not simple or quick, but I thought it better to at least let you post and read threads before the format is updated.

If people didn't post Avatars that are 800 pixels there would be a lot less garbage to wade thru. I think Avatars should be limited to 100 Pixels. Same with images in the signature.

thanks for caring enough to upgrade your free site.(serious)

It was broken... really broken. Fixed now, just gotta get some of the colors fixed up and a few banners dropped back in and we will be back to normal without odd arabic writing on the home page...

In a week, we'll all be used to it so I think it is fine. I kind of like it at first glance..... :eek!: :yuk: :D

One thing is for sure. I do a lot more scrolling. Seems the res could go higher. Everything is too big.

how come when ya go to user cp now ...it dont tell you of all your buddy list...who is currently on line and who is not like the old one did!?? :confused:

Seadog
08-05-2004, 05:17 AM
I think that if a few adjustments are made,it will be OK. I hate this yesterday/today crap on when something is posted. It's great that HB is making this effort to improve our posting ability.

You seem to think that change for the sake of change is something to be proud of OR it's just your attempt to justify your job and outragious salary to the powers to be. If it ain't broke - leave it the **** alone !
It was broken... really broken. Fixed now, just gotta get some of the colors fixed up and a few banners dropped back in and we will be back to normal without odd arabic writing on the home page...
Sometimes what you see is not what you get. It sounds to me like the old forum software had some security holes in it that could not be closed (or not effectively at least). It happens.

I think the litmus test will be how Angry Josh reacts to the changes.
Personally, I'm waiting for this thread to land in Bench Racers.

Well this is different....Can't find the top ten posters (maybe that is a good thing :sqsmile: ) I like the light blue color. The print seems bigger (on my screen at least) My daughters says her debate form was changed to this format as well. I'm just glad HB is up and running, I was going through willdrawls.........As for the grumpy bitchers.......I bet they would complain if you hung them with a new rope (lol :wink: ) A little teacher humor there.... :pigfly: I wonder if the pig fly smilie will work now :smilespi:
Hey there is a button that shows green if you are online now! That is pretty cool :smilespi:

Some Kind Of Monster
08-05-2004, 11:35 AM
I woke up this morning with about 70 new e-mail messages from ***boat because it defaulted to notify me every time someone replies to a thread that I have posted in. I can't seem to find where to turn it the hell off.

Some Kind Of Monster
08-05-2004, 11:36 AM
Ah, found it under edit options... Thank God.. My inbox is full so it blocked my regular messages.

Debbolas
08-05-2004, 11:36 AM
Hey if you put your arrow on the space where the thread is it tells you what the first post says!
I think the option to change receiveing e-mail is in your user profile. They warned everyone one time that they were upgrading and if we didn't change this certain feature we would recive a ton of e-mail.... :idea:

Debbolas
08-05-2004, 11:49 AM
Why do some posters have a "warning" sign on their posts?
This is cool, when you haven't read the post, the print is bold, after you read the post the printing isn't bold anymore! ;)

Tom Brown
08-05-2004, 11:53 AM

That warning sign is what you click when you want to report that someone has posted a pic of HOSS's wang.

You can't have "leading" threads anymore, because you can read them if you put your arrow over the thread.....LOL :)

Don't worry, Deb. There is a warning icon under your ID. :)

If you click Members List at top of forum and then the word Posts in the Posts column, it reorders the ML putting the top posters on the first page. :)

Debbolas
08-05-2004, 12:50 PM
ahhhhhhhh, thank you! :)
Why do we have different smilie's? When you reply to a thread, it doesn't show you the same smiles all the time. I wonder why?

There was nothing wrong with the format. Sure it was old. Like the the rest of the site! Hot Boat, why don't you do something with the rest of the site. Hot Boat Cove as had the same old pics for 2 years! There is no Photo Report!. The bikini pics are the same old women that have been on there for at least 2 years. Hot Boat. Why don"t you do something about your same old junk or lack of pics and info.All you do is fix the forum lay out. Anybody can do that. Get out and get some new material. :yuk:

I don't run Internet Explorer (like I suspect you do) very often but I'm pretty sure there is an option under 'view' to change the text size. There's only a dozen or so items on that menu so check in there and see if you can crank up the size. :cool:
If you're running FireFox, it's < Ctrl ><+ on the numeric keypad> to increase the text size.

Tom Brown
08-05-2004, 08:37 PM
I see what you mean. I'm in IE right now and the only thing I can get to change sizes is the jacked up text in my post.
For what it's worth, FireFox can adjust the text size just fine. I know that doesn't help you much.

Rexone
08-05-2004, 09:31 PM
get firefox or back off on the rez. or get glasses like you shoulda 5 years ago anyway. :)
