Admin Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 The software upgrade is complete. The "look" everyone is familiar with was incompatible with the new software. We are working to translate it to the new software. Until then, please be patient.

Possum Hill Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 For whatever it's worth. I like h enew look. So, please don't be in a hurry to "fix" it.Ditto that. With a little poking around it's beginning to feel quite natural and it looks fine to my eye. Link to post Share on other sites

hookem11 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 This new look is starting to grow on me too. Well done mods Regards,Al Link to post Share on other sites
Sailor Kenshin Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Sorry, I don't like the look. It's busy-er, and white on black is eyestrain-y.

troglokev Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) More seriously, the new system appears to be having problems with the old-style quotations. Example here Edited September 13, 2009 by troglokev Link to post Share on other sites
cakibler Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) All my private messages are gone, deleted. And no warning either. Didn't anyone back stuff up before the change was made? There was some important stuff in there and now there is no way to retrieve it. This could cost me money. Who do I talk to about that? Thanks for the warning. My avatar isn't working either. Well, at least the avatar is working. Edited September 12, 2009 by cakibler "If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play.

Okami Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) Really like the new look, wish all my saved messages hadn't been lost though. Edit: apparently PMs will return - nice to know.

hexadecimal Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Well, it is going to take a little time to grow on me (and I've noted that there are a few things to 'come back') but I find the new look easier on the eyes/more readable. Thanks to everyone involved. You even did it while I was asleep! Hey, I've worked out how to set up an avatar! Next week I'll move onto tying my own shoelaces... Link to post Share on other sites
blopplop Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) I like the new look. But major OUCH on the lost pm's. What does it mean the "saved" pm's will come back? You mean like the one's in my "in and sent" folders, or...? Not to detract from the work done on the sight, though. It looks GREAT, IMHO.Blessings,Dave Edited September 12, 2009 by blopplop 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.http://www.the-highw..._questions.html http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii208/blopplop/fpn-verm.jpg Link to post Share on other sites

eilu Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) Well, this is quite surprising! But I rather like the new look. It's all spiffy and new. *inhales new design smell* ... er... where has the "mark forums read" button gone?

djpyle Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I'm also liking the new look. Feature wise, my favorite add-on is the ability to adjust the number of posts per page. (Or was that always an option, and I just didn't know it?) Overall, I find the site easier to navigate now. Good work! www.danielpyle.com Link to post Share on other sites

Dave At the rate these threads are appearing you'd be better to go again and come back in a few days when the dust settles or settle in for a very long session on FPN.

What happened to the private messages and About Me pages and all the rest of that?Where are you seeing white on black? Just curious. Everything for me is white, blue and green. (Except the text, which is black). You can get to "About Me" by activating the drop-down menu at the top right and clicking "My Profile." www.danielpyle.com Link to post Share on other sites
