Forum upgrades

***tabacco*** · 09-11-2005, 11:43 AM

Sorry 'bout the downtime. So this is not the fabled 3.5.0 upgrade, because I'm still waiting on the final release. This upgrade brings us up to the most current 3.0.x release, though, which means almost nothing to most of you, since it's basically security fixes and minor tweaks.

Someday, though, comes the 3.5.0 awesomeness

Zanthia · 09-11-2005, 12:17 PM

What about Vs , some new pictures and a couple of new smiles? Was they a result of this upgrade too? Lokks nice though.

***tabacco*** · 09-11-2005, 12:41 PM

Huh?

***fov*** · 09-11-2005, 04:25 PM

Only thing that looks different to me is a little grayed out folder next to Adventure Forums > Feedback > Forum Feedback (or whatever the path is on the screen I'm on) that wasn't like that before. I don't see any new smilies.

As for this awesomeness that is 3.5.0... if it makes things really different, I don't know if I'll be able to handle it.

(I also see links that say Increase Size and Decrease Size under the reply box, but clicking them doesn't do anything...)

Some of the icons just after the upgrade were blue. The folder icon being one of them. You're obviously not glued to this place enough, Emily

A couple of the smilies changed with the upgrade too. (

They work for me.

BTW, I don't remember the reply buttons being grey before.

***fov*** · 09-11-2005, 04:41 PM

No joke, the smilies look exactly the same to me as always. I'm using Firefox.

Sometimes a girl's gotta take the day off and go watch some baseball.

EDIT: ACK! Okay, looks completely different in IE. Including a pretty weird-looking

.

EDIT2: Ugh - cleared my cache in Firefox and now I see new smilies and reply buttons and such here, too.

Intrepid Homoludens · 09-11-2005, 10:59 PM

I don't like these new smileys...

They look saccharine, obsequious.......American Suburban. *brrrrrr*

Ah well, I have my own cache of smilies I can use instead. Carry on.

Don't like them either.

The Big Grin smiley used to be a kind of "he he", now it's "Duh!".

Intrepid Homoludens · 09-12-2005, 01:14 AM

I liked the old big grin smiley because it was cheeky. This new one is annoying - like some of those high pitched nasal voiced blonde Midwestern girls at the mall.

It looks like a "stereotypical 14 year old Counterstrike player"'s big grin smiley.

EDIT: In other words, it's a LOL!!!! smiley.

I'm loving that feature. When you're writing a longer post it comes in real handy (don't remember when I've last written a longer post though

).

Kolzig · 09-12-2005, 05:46 AM

Well, aren't these smilies the default smilies of vBulletin?

***fov*** · 09-12-2005, 06:28 AM

Doesn't matter if they're the default smilies. We should be able to get the old ones back. (Please?!

)

I agree, the old

had a nice mischevious quality. This one just looks retarded.

Wormsie · 09-12-2005, 06:36 AM

New smilies? I see the old ones...

***fov*** · 09-12-2005, 06:42 AM

Clean out your cache or temporary internet files. (But you might be sorry you did.

)

I can see them now, as I'm using a university PC. Nope, not going to clear my cache.

The more I look at this green smiley, the more anxious and nervous I'm getting. For some reason, I want to punch someone in the teeth.
