I didn't see any other threads about this, so I thought I'd make one.

So dispense with your OH EM GEE's here.

I don't mind the new smilies, I just can't stand how...spaced out everything is.  It's like I have to scroll for 10 minutes to get to the next post :(

It's all right. It looks like the first character of everyone's signature got deleted though. That's a litte odd.

The smilies are a little ugly, but I think all the new features make up for it.
This software has much more advanced moderating options, so hopefully it will help us control the spam.

Cool! I'll gladly endure the stupid smileys if it helps eliminate the porn bots!

Hey Penguin, the smilies can be added and changed in the Admin menu. Feel free to change them since you're an Admin.

I don't think Daniel will mind.

I just found that out. PHPB only let Daniel change stuff like that, so I hadn't realized I could until just a minute ago.

I'm still trying to figure out how everything works, so if anyone finds out that their account has been deleted, or all their posts are missing or something, it's... uhhh... Erasmus' fault!

When Daniel comes back onto IRC tomorrow I plan to help him change around the layout of threads so that things are less spaced out and there is no blue bar over every post.

After that I think things should be readable on the forums, at least.

Also Penguin, if you can, either fix the member ranks or turn them off completely. Daniel has a backup of the forum in case you mess anything up.

It's set to allow users to select which layout they want. I switched mine to "Babylon Theme", which got rid of the blue bars, but I don't think I like the way it looks now.

Check out http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/ to see a big listing of custom themes available. I'm pretty sure you can download ones you like and upload them via the admin section. For example, I found this theme here I found pleasant on the eyes: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=131

Also, just a minor nitpick, but I think the threads are too short. It used to be 20 posts per page. Now it's 15. What do you think?

I just noticed that it shows who is a Flat Earth Proponent.  Maybe now those of us who aren't won't get harassed by the noobs.  :P

[Edit]Oh, I guess that's just Tom's custom title.  Whatever.  That would be a good idea if it did, though.

Yeah I don't mind the new forums, looks a bit different but I'm sure we'll get used to it.

I HATE being called a newbie though.  Can an admin change that for me to "I own religion" or something?

Also can we get those funky reputation things?

What do you guys want the ranks to be called? So far all there is is "Newbie" for 0-499 posts, and then "Regular" for 500+.

Can one of them be like...Dragonslayer? That would be cool.

I don't think it's fair to call a n00b a round earther just 'cause they don't have bunches of posties.
And I don't wanna be called an atheist  :'( please.
