Scheduled down time - Sunday Jan. 31

[S.F.W.]

As an FYI, this coming Sunday, likely around 1pm Tm3 will be closed for likely 2-3 hours for a major upgrade.
I will be attempting to upgrade to a new version of Vbulletin, and install some new skins.

Hopefully all goes well...and if not...well, let's just hope...

[cwp_sedan]

We won't be doing anything too crazy skin wise right off the bat, but it will give the forum a little more flair. Over time we will try to add more. :)

It looks very fancy now but im kinda confused with all the red and blue. The green means you replied to the forum before. I guess i just need to get used to it

[jurgenk]

at first I thought I was on the wrong website..

[jaimie08mazda3]

Woahhhhh what a change... kinda wierd... gonna be taking some getting used to... see how I do.

[Iceman_F1]

Interesting change so far. However, one possible issue. When getting a notification, it used to go to the new post when you clicked it. Now it doesn't. Unless it's just something in the selection in settings that I haven't seen yet...

[kimro]

Looks nice so far!

[Stoked]

looks awesome but its weird cause its different and gonna take some getting used to,
i dont know where to find my old posts now though
i think its on the profile and im assuming old tracking was lost?

[Iceman_F1]

First, general issue, when you click on a user's name, it doesn't go right to their profile page like it used to. Now I have to right-click and open in a new tab. Though this could be an Opera browser issue, not sure.

If you go to your profile page, near the top left under the avatar, it should say something like "Find all posts". It's true though that it seems it doesn't find anything posted after the update through that method. Not sure if there is another way to search that will display the results. Tried advanced search and it's also only showing what's been posted since the update.

To me, those are both minor things. I really miss the going to new post when clicking on the subscription link in the email. Or even when you click on the link normally, sometimes it would go to newest post.

Also minor, the notification in the top left of the post that says if it's a new post or not isn't clear. It's a light shade of colour going to a slightly darker shade of colour. I personally liked it before of orange or white. Made it stand out more.

Other than that so far, looks pretty good.

[Noisy Crow]

Hmmm.... cleaner look.

Not sure if it is more readable though, at least as far as the "new posts" listing is concerned.... the stacking of the topic and the "posted by" and "in forum xyz" makes it harder to scan and pick out topics. Please don't pull a "Rogers" on us!

[Trinidad]

Nice work on the site. I'm sure a lot of hard work went into it, however I had become very accustomed to the old look.

[Gizzmo_jr]

Lets all just sit tight for 48 hours while things get ironed out. I'm all for the new change.
