Holy Shit...

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Is the forum staying like this or is it just a short term thing until it gets back to looking like it did?

Do not like... :(

[biohazard]

My eyes, the goggles do nothing!

[sparkles]

I'm going to give it a try. So far I hate it, but who knows. I am curious though on why the switch?

[Deimos]

I too like the black

[AutoMods]

this is the default vbulletin style. its minor, we can change it later. for now i'm busy helping people that forgot their registered email to reset log in passwords and other misc bugs that might come up.


For those of you that wanted to know why the change, google some articles on phpBB forum vs vbulletin

Gah my retinas!

[sparkles]

What does the red envelopes mean?

[85XR7Project]

It means there are posts in the thread you haven't seen.

[AutoMods]

at the bottom of the page there is an Icon guide. Red envelope means its a hot topic. It can be an open envelope or closed envelope. closed red means hot topic with no unread posts

[Drifte]

damn bunch of whiners. "you'd rather look good first, and win second."

Colors can be changed later, so many options too. Going to take some tinkering to find what works best. The hawkeye theme should be laid to rest though.

Gah my retinas!

thats pretty much what i just posted haha

[AutoMods]

don't you guys use yahoo, google, youtube, facebook, craigslist, wikipedia etc ?? those are are white background based sites. what is a really big website, like a top 100 website, that is black background based?

I used to have a black background website, it was challenging. Font colors and hyperlinks are harder to get to look good with black backgrounds.

Change scares and confuses us?

agreed, and although they do have white backgrounds, were used to it and only have to look at google for a few minutes, while your starring and reading this it just feels like its burning the back of your eyeballs. its toooo much white, maybe add different colored side panels or something, with a 22inch computer screen
im dyin here, not trying to be an asshole or anything haha
but
like cnet downloads, is white and stuff in the middle but has like grayish black side panels, looks nice.

[G50Trim92]

I won't miss the black at all, it was too emo looking.

Yup. Isn't there a garage plug in for vbulletin too? The vbulletin format has a lot of cool stuff. Change isn't that scary

Says the forum turd. Go back to making up stories about test driving Jaguars...

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Says the forum turd. Go back to making up stories about test driving Jaguars...

LOL... Way to take a joke bitch. #1 I never said I "test drove" it, I said I drove it and I did. #2 that was explained a long time ago, it was an '08 that I drove. #3 I have driven more expensive vehicles numerous times, I have to for work. I drive probably 10-20 cars every single day. some of them are $5k~ cars and some of them are $50k+ cars.

I highly doubt I am the "forum turd" as well. what have you ever contributed to this forum? I bet 95% of the people on here have no fucking clue who you are or that you even exist on this site. I know I didn't until about 8 hours ago...

Thats G, you dont want to see him when hes angry.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

I won't like him when he's angry?

Sorry Ryan I think I ruined these guys' vision :)

I remember trying to switch it to white a few years ago and i was heavily veto'd by the masses. lol

Well you did warn me

[ZacFields]

For the record, I think the midnight theme with the new logo you've got up there looks extremely good. Probably the best this site has looked ever. I actually like the lighter colors in the posting area and the black only in the background.

For those resistant to a lighter color scheme: As it has been said before, you can change the theme to something different if you like, but it's also worth noting that you'd get used to it after a while. I frequent a lot of forums with a nearly all-white color scheme and don't think anything about it.

[AutoMods]

Thanks, colton created a couple themes in like 10 minutes just to get people by. So when we get more time we can make them a little more refined. I have noticed the forum is slower on the new server. I think you lucked out on your old server, speed wise. But I'm not sure if we can get a better host with paying more.

[ZacFields]

I haven't really noticed a speed issue so far. If it's slower, it's not noticeable on my end.

Yeah my old host stopped providing shared hosting at least two years ago so my guess is that I'm sitting on a server that was built to be a shared hosting server, but over time more and more shared customers have dropped off and they aren't getting new ones. So I'm essentially paying $5 per month for performance you'd expect from a VPS or better.

[Domestic Disturbance]

Ya speed has seemed normal to me.
