Nemesis Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Making some changes and setting up security features. This will cause some delay due to dns servers needing to update. Hopefully it doesn't take to long. This will probably be in the next 10-30 min.Nemesis
Nemesis Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 You should see some performance improvements as of now. We are also planning to upgrade the board software to the latest and greatest within the next few hours. It takes a little more prep time.Nemesis
Nemesis Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Site going offline in 5 min.Nemesis
Nemesis Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Ok this is all crazy. Not sure how I feel about it but I wont have a chance to fix the rest of the site for another couple of hours.Nemesis
One Clear Voice Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 No likey at all, makes forum look cheap, not professional as before. Just my opinion, just sayin'
cdowis Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I really really really dislike this new board format. Please give us back the old board. It is cheesy, and very difficult to use. For those who choose not to use an avatar the blank face is awful. "What, no avatar? Well, I will show YOU."Thanks mucho. Edited September 16, 2011 by cdowis

Stargazer Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 THIS LOOKS GREAT! I first pulled a Whoa! out of the air, and saw that this had been said already, but I think this decor looks much more professional and nice-looking.It's very clean-looking, too. I been banging around with it for a half-hour and haven't found anything that annoys me. That's unusual, since I don't generally take to this kind of change very quickly.
Mktavish Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I like your avatar stargazer as Ive wanted to build a telescope for eons (I luv the mathmatical calculations for a newtonian)I see maybe I should get an avatar picture (will do soon) not sure why I responded here.
Calm Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 For those who choose not to use an avatar the blank face is awful. OTOH the avatars are coming up clearer for me.Guess I will have to think of something else to fill in the blank.What things I don't like I will quickly get used to as I always have done in the past. When Nemesis has to spend too much time on fixing stuff, then it is best just to change things.
CV75 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I find the new format an immense improvement over the former. Thank you!
Deborah Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I like the clarity of the new format. It is taking some getting used to as to what buttons to click however.
Calm Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Never mind, must have been a glitch. Edited September 16, 2011 by calmoriah
rpn Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 For those who find the screen too wide, hit SHIFT and hyphen and it should shrink (so will the text size).
One Clear Voice Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Hit Control- plus or minus for screen sizes and fonts!
Franktalk Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 A site lives or dies on content not style of the page. I have to say a blank box would be better than a shadow figure for the avatars.
mnn727 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) I admit, I don't visit as much as I used to (Ok, no need for all the applause) but this new format looks terrible. And when you click on 'Change Theme' to find a better look, there's nothing to change it to.Sorry, this new format was a bad move IMHO. Edited September 18, 2011 by mnn727
Calm Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Give them time to shake out the bugs and make all the changes.
Nemesis Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Added another theme for selection.
Avatar4321 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 For some reason I thought this said Server Outrage. lol. I was wondering what I was supposed to be angry about.
Calm Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 For some reason I thought this said Server Outrage. lol. I was wondering what I was supposed to be angry about.Funny. I've been reading it that way every time I see it and was just thinking about finally commenting on it. Glad to see I'm not alone.
Deborah Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Is anyone else getting obnoxious pages where they have to write a code word to continue? It says I have a virus but I have a very strong virus protector on my machine and no other evidence of a virus.
