We had the new software up and running for a week or two, but the only way to see what needs to be revised is by doing the site conversion.

I know some folks may have been comfortable with .Classic, but we could not stay with that platform, we were already UBB's biggest .Classic user and they said we were well past the point of needing to switch to .Threads.

We will continue to revise the site and it's features over the next two weeks it will take some time.

YES, I found something I like about it. I can finally set my time zone!

Now for a suggestion.

If you're wondering how to fix the font issue, instead of setting an exact point size in your cascading style sheet set the font size to one of these:

xx-small | x-small | small | medium | large | x-large | xx-large

As shown here: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/cs...font-size.html

This should allow the browser's font adjustment to work (the View->Text Size menu). I think that would help a lot of peoples issue with it being too small.

Oh the amount of time it took to migrate over the old site was proportional to how big we are... UBB said it would take 3-5 hours and it took us 8 hours and it was not even completely working!!!!

Keep giving us feedback, good or bad, we know that while some of you have posted negative things, deep down in your heart you know we try to keep the site as fast as possible... And I know some of you curmudgeons just fear any sort of change (John points finger at the user wearing a Members Only jacket).

I'm liking the default better than the classic now that i'm getting used to it. We need some smiley's thought!!! Also, is their a preview post option?? [cliche] Rome wasn't built in a day [/cliche] It can only get better from here. Keep up the good work Tony!

I like the new site. Speed is up and that is all that matters.
I like the black background, always have likde forums with dark barkgrounds, its easier on my eyes.
The who's online feature is cool and the search is better.
I like not having the gremlains I think people get carried away with them anyway.

No complaints here.

I think it looked alot better the old way, It's losted the clean look like on LS1.com. Plus I think it is hard to read now.

Just my 2 cents

I think the software upgrade was a huge addition to the site. Tony has modified it nicely. I now like it much better than the old version. Everyone is going to be resistant to change. You guys know that.

What does the number <font color="red">(1) <!--color--></font> or <font color="red"> (2) <!--color--></font> mean next to the number of replies?

It is a very cool feature, it makes things so much easier for us moderators since we know exactly how many posts were made since the last time we checked a topic. The more I play around with this new setup the more I like it. I suspect the same will happen with the rest of you guys too. It's like a new pair of underwear, at first they feel a little funny, but pretty soon they start to feel like home again.

I love it!, I am a member of two boards, of the two this one, and this one was not as modern as the other, but NOW I love all you have done, I miss the gremlins but not a show stopper. is there a way to get more lines showed per topic, or was this done to increase speed and is not adjustable?

again don't feel your work as went unnoticed.

Pete, that feature is indeed adjustable, if you go to "My Home" above there is a section in there which allows you to set the number where you want it.
