Keep looking up at that logo up top and trying to figure out what it reminds me of. After a few hours now the color and font of it remind of a sort of 70's logo....growing on me.

QUOTE (Thanee @ Feb 2 2008, 08:27 PM) Speaking of avatars, will those remain with just the gallery or will you allow custom ones as well? Stock only. QUOTE (Thanee @ Feb 2 2008, 08:27 PM) P.S. is it possible to have two buttons for full and quick edit? Having to select from the menu every time you edit a post could become rather annoying over time... Hmm.. That's built into the skin. I do find it a bit annoying as well. QUOTE (Thanee @ Feb 2 2008, 08:27 PM) Also... what is Multiquote supposed to do? It does nothing when I press the button... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Seems to be an issue with that. Let me get back to you... |

Why does Google.com keep haunting the Active Users list? It's been there off-and-on all morning.

QUOTE (Redjack @ Feb 2 2008, 09:10 PM) Please check your friends and ignored lists.. I thought someone said the upgrade switched theirs... It was me and it moved them to the "PM Block List" (not the "Ignored Users List" which is a different thing). QUOTE (Fortune @ Feb 2 2008, 10:10 PM) Why does Google.com keep haunting the Active Users list? It's been there off-and-on all morning. Weren't search engines turned away from DSF before because of the CPU usage their spidering caused? Maybe this is why some people have reported it being a little slower since the upgrade. QUOTE (Fortune @ Feb 2 2008, 09:20 PM) And what exactly does a 'Friends List' do? I used it as an address book. The new version seems to treat the friends list as more of a social networking thing by publicly listing them in your profile. Also people you add are notified and (depending on how the forum is set up) they might have to approve it. Which is too bad, because I enjoyed being "secret friends" with people. |

Won't lie. Miss the old boards. Course I never posted or registered on the old boards but...
Also, not a big fan of the new logo. However I don't have anything to offer in it's stead so I guess I should just learn to deal with it. I'd probably like it more if it wasn't in that gray box. |

..I was surprised how soon this happened. I like the new look although the mixing of both the SR general & SR4 forums was a bit confusing at first.
[on bended knees] Oh please let me import my KK avatar. There are none that fit the Bushido Cowgirl (as I already mentioned) I have requested Squinky to do one so if that is acceptable, I will be happy. KK Avatar |

There seems to be an issue when viewing - what I assume are intended to be "recent" posts from the profile screen, due to the Nov 9, 2009 issue that popped up back here, for those of us that posted threads then. Probably a low priority, like the spellchecker (I still have the Shadowrun dat file for this, if wanted).

I like it.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I agree with Prime Mover, the logo kinda reminds me of an old K-tel album"love songs of the '70s " or something ,:0 (great, now Ive got that Jim Croce song stuck in my head) thanks guys,thanks alot.(grin) |

QUOTE (Konsaki @ Feb 2 2008, 05:30 PM) Well... it's different, that's for sure. I have two questions though: 1 - Why did you chose the bright green for all the post headers and buttons? It burns the eyes and contrasts way too much with the dark background. One thing I really liked about the pre-update board was the fact that the colors were complimentary and easy on the eyes, being brown, dark grey and the like. We went with Green to match the colors used in the SR4 core book. Plus, I think it's kinda sharp looking, and it stands out a bit to say "Hey, these are a new version of forums". It does take a bit of getting used to, however (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE EDIT: Ok, maybe 3 things. It's a bit harder to do a quick look to see which posts have had new posts in them unlike before. Maybe changin the 'new post' icon to a different color than the same as the 'no new posts' icon would help. I agree here, and I mentioend something about this to Redjack this afternoon while we were testing the boards a bit before they went live. I think it's on his "To Do" list. QUOTE (Thanee @ Feb 2 2008, 09:27 PM) Speaking of avatars, will those remain with just the gallery or will you allow custom ones as well? Right now, just the gallery ones. However, we have not ruled out the possibility of allowing users to "earn" a custom avatar down the road, through contests or something. But right now, it's not real high on our To Do list. QUOTE Also... what is Multiquote supposed to do? It does nothing when I press the button... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE (Redjack) Seems to be an issue with that. Let me get back to you... Multiquote allows you to select multiple messages and reply to all of them at once. However, the "Multiquote" buttons don't change color or anything when selected (They are "highlighted", but it's hard to tell), so it's not obvious that you have them selected. When you hit Add Reply at the bottem of the page, it will add in all the messages you selected for Multiquote into your reply box as a set of quoted messages. I did that for this reply (Though I goofed and selected the wrong message for RedJack, so I had to do his quote manually). Bull |

QUOTE (Fortune @ Feb 2 2008, 10:10 PM) Why does Google.com keep haunting the Active Users list? It's been there off-and-on all morning. Hey, just because the google doesn't post often doesn't mean its not a participating member, lay off! I'm going to send the google a PM to make sure there are no hard feelings... As an aside, the quote button used to be on the top of posts, I believe. Now it's on the bottom, plus the border between posts isn't blazing purple or anything. I accidentally quoted the wrong person like three times before I figured out what's wrong. Seems like a simple fix for us oldies, although I'll admit I'm not sure if it's worth the time. I'll catch up eventually... My kneejerk reaction is I miss my security dumpshock. It's pretty standard when deploying a new, replacement system that the first day it has something like 20% support though. The test is how we feel in a few weeks. I'm thinking, since we already seem to have beaten 20%, there won't be a lot of serious complaints... |

Those are my only suggestions so far =) Oh I also wanted to say that i LOVE the color scheme. I love black and green. I think if anyone is having problems with the green being to bright they need to adjust their monitors. Its not that bright. Its kind of bright along the bottom and darker along the top... |

I presume the custom titles for the Dumpshocked! members has been dropped? I understand it was always a pain in the butt for the admins. Not a big deal, just asking.

Cain--In My Controls, the profile section will allow you to set a custom title. If you leave it blank, the default settings will show through.
