It's back.

[Excalibur]

Phew! I nearly went cold turkey without my fix! I see we've got new surroundings, I'm not too impressed by the decor. I'll go for a wander round and see if I can find anything I recognise.

[ppentertainments]

Your all different now Peter !!!
Probably take me a year to find my way around lol

feels rather naked like where is the vast database of useful and informative threads gone ? :confused:

[DazzyD]

Oi! Somebody put the games (Arcade) back! Or I might have to dust off the old XBox!

Seriously, first impressions are not great. Now I don't mind embracing change but this feels like McDonalds changing the entire recipe of the Big Mac!

[lazersounds]

ooooer I thought it was all staying the same, was just moving to a new server, this will take some getting used to :)

[DeckstarDeluxe]

Give it time folks, if nothing changed we would be going to market on carts with square wheels :)

[Jiggles]

It seems we have finally updated the forum software! Downside is someone will need to re incorporate it into the full MDD site and get the old back up again. Stand by. Don't panic won't really look like this but something like it.

If you scroll up and look at the top of the forum, it appears that we are being directed to the "what's new" page by default. Scroll up and click on "forum", and the whole forum will become available to you.

Its the same in all the browsers. (FF, IE, Opera, Chrome, Safari(Win)) It looks as if the layout is being positioned absolutely and if someones avitar is larger than the defined size it is overflowing onto the text.

Speaking of which, we now appear to have an embarrassment of riches! After my involuntary "upgrade" to IE9, I got used to the What's New feature not working. Now it's on steroids. As well as getting notification of the titles of new posts, I get the whole shebang!.

PS. Anyone had a look at the new smilie list? It may take some getting used to.

[deltic]

first impression seriously not impressed,gonna take a little bit of getting the old head round,but i'm assured by a wise yorkshire man give it time and all will be well.:):):)

[Vectis]

OMG that is MINGING!

I've heard that white space improves readability but come on ... !

[Corabar Entertainment]

Good God! What a bunch of whingers!!!!

For God knows how long, we get moaned at for not upgrading, and as soon as we do, everyone complains that they don't like it!

:lol:

Give it a chance, it's actually not that different once you scratch the surface.

The default text looks somewhat small(er), but give it a little while, no doubt there'll need to be a few tweaks, plus we'll all need to get used to it, but I don't think it's THAT different!

[Corabar Steve]

Well, I like it. :p :sj:

[Vectis]

I'll be lucky if I can scratch ANYTHING with the RSI I'm developing from the constant scrolling! Better put in a job lot order for new batteries for my magic trackpad!

[Jiggles]

I like it too! With somestyle tweeks it will be perfect!

[Shakermaker Promotions]

Went out for a few drinks last night for my nephew's 18th birthday and came back and took a look on the forum and thought I had gone mad or had mucked up something.
When I click on the MDD from my favourites list / bookmarks, it takes me to the page that has been posted as a screen grab. Other than that, I think it's a nice, refreshing change.
Nice one!

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

New forum is working on my IPad but not on my desktop. It's still directing me back to the old forum.

[Totally Plucked]

It's the same with Google Chrome !!

[Javlingames]

Looks great, i like it.

[Charlie Brown]

Doesn't really work me end on chrome. Text is all over the place!

I like the colours :)

[Corabar Entertainment]

I've just had a look on my computer using Chrome - seeing as Charlie's mentioned it and I know Darren uses it, but it's fine here on Chrome. Therefore, I'm guessing it's something to do with it getting a bit confused with current / cache on your computers????

[NXDisco]

Actually love the new forum. Bit white, but I can live with that.

Just for the admins as a headsup on problems to get fixed, the banner ad's are not visible anymore. I'm not fussed about having them, but the people who have paid for them to be there might be! :run:

The only thing I don't like is that by default it takes me straight to the what's new page when I login. And the formatting of the "what's new" page is all over the place. Apart from that I really like it.

...and the formatting on that page appears only to be skewed because we allowed the larger avatars for supporters.

No doubt we will need to make a few 'tweaks' in the coming days and weeks to make it 'home' (like adding the banners back in), but I think we're off to a pretty good start!

[Charlie Brown]

but I think we're off to a pretty good start!

:agree:

The chrome problem seems to have sorted its self out?! :confused:

[Charlie Brown]

....maybe not. :sj:

[Corabar Entertainment]

Just think we ought to give a big thank you to Richie and his friend Stuart, who have put in a lot of time and work to get us this far. I'm sure Richie must have been tearing his hair out at times!

[Shaun]

:agree:

Thank you to you both. :) :)

Yes, you're right, Angela. Thanks Richie and Stuart. Now can we have the Arcade back, please? ;)

Got some bad news for you Dazzy.... I believe the new and improved vBulletin doesn't support it :(

S'alright. Just found Cash Beast elsewhere!! :)

Soooooo, I only just figured out if you click forums then quick links you can get todays posts, Keep up at the back eh.

[SoundONE]

Much better well done all.

[Marc J]

Change the CSS, this bit: -

li.activitybit .avatar {
float: left;
padding-right: 10px;
width: 75px;
}

change width to auto, or something like 175px :)

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

All OK again now. I remember Richie telling me that it changes at different times for different people and ISPs. There is a technical term I'm sure...

[Excalibur]

First up, many thanks and congratulations to Richie and his team, well done lads.

It's all very confusing for an old bloke like me. I appear to be having a conversation with a young savant on here via this "visitor message" system. Where this conversation is to be found, I have no idea. Is it public? If so, I'd better mind my keyboard. I've also accepted a "friend request". Also baffling. Am I only allowed to have friends if they've been vetted first? That's a bit of a facer for an amicable soul like me.

And as for losing my arcade crown, well I'm gutted. :banghead:( couldn't find the crying smiley, so had to substitute this one. )

[Corabar Steve]

:cry:Still there between dog & D'oh!

[Excalibur]

:cry:Still there between dog & D'oh! So it is, Mycroft, so it is. Many thanks for that, I am indebted to you. Heavens, but it's confusing for an old bloke.

If that's the case why don't we just disable the "what's new" link altogether. It's horrid. :S

Using Firefox and all seems fine.

Is there any notification of new PMs by way of a flashing mesage or highlighting as previously---or do we go into the appropriate section each time on logging in?

Just being lazy !!!!!!!!!!!!

Just noticed after posting the result is displayed very quickly:beer1:

I'm getting the notifications as before. Since I have a pop-up blocker running, I get a little box, and I have to go to the messages section, rather than letting it appear where I am.
