Sorry for the surprise upgrade to InvisionBoard 2.0

You'll notice a lot of changes to the forums, especially the style issue.

I thought it was best to let everyone back in rather than have to run the counselling sessions - so please post, but hang on in there for the style. I'm working on it as we speak. The IFB team only went and changed all the style names!

[Bryce (003)]

Well...It certainly is a new look, but bloody well done Admiral!

Is it just me, or are things not quite 100% yet?

Not even close

[Gabe Vieira]

No it is not you. So far, I hate the new forums. Dave, you better move fast. You got alot of fix'n to do.

[Qwerty]

I surely hope that is you joking around.

[Johnboy007]

Plenty of cool new features to play with.

I had duplicates of every PM in my boxes, quite a time deleting all of them.

Can't wait for everything to finish.

[The Admiral]

Yeah - there are going to be styling problems as I have to update it all.

But I figured you'd be ok suffering that all for a while rather than being shut out of the forums while I was doing that.

Gabe, don't come back till I've finished - then complain

[The Admiral]

The basics of the style is now in place.

It's readable

It's really now just spending the time and tweaking each of the 188 CSS styles individually...

[The Admiral]

I'm afraid that I need to retire for the evening as I have to get up really early tomorrow for University.

I hate to leave the forums in this state - but it'll take quite a few more hours to get it looking better than it ever has.

I'll get back to work on it as soon as I get back at 2pm GMT tomorrow.

Sorry

Next time choose your words more carefully.

Do you know how much work it is to administrate a forum? Dave and Greg do all this voluntarily, they get not paid for it (All the Amazon and Sideshow money is used to keep the server alive) and they are doing it because they love Bond. They have created a wonderful base for discussions for Bond fans from all over the world. So - don't get personal again.

If this was supposed to be a jok, you should have labeled it as a joke, e.g. posting a "" or "" at the end.

Ya, kust kiding. Sorry, about that. You really can't tell what a person means if you just read something And I love the new smilies

And Dave, just a suggestion: a metallic-silver color would be cool

[Tim007]

Ah okay. No pun intended. But it just didn't become clear

[Double-Oh-Zero]

The...hell?










...was my first reaction, but it grew on me real quick. Very sleek new look.

And I now have NO problem reading the posts.

[zencat]

Looking good, Dave.

[Brix Bond]

I'm so confused! I can't see any of the text on the buttons! Scarily I can still navigate my way round the forums. I think I should get out more...

[Bondian]

Hey Dave,


I'm glad that you decided to stick with IPB because they are probably the best!.

You've also done a very good job because the upgrade is quite daunting, and it can be disastrous.

If you need any assistance, please PM me and I'll do what I can to help.

There is a way around not having to go through all the CSS, and I can help you on that.

Just want to help!.

Cheers,


Ian

Hmm. Upgrades.

I wish we had Q to show us where he put the ejector seat this time.

[00-FAN008]

Everything was looking great until I clicked "Post reply" and noticed I can't read some of the Text. If you can do something about it, that would be great, and things should be okay on my behalf.

When I arrived it looked like I had to sign in again. The textboxes for my username and password appeared to be empty. But when I happened to highlight them it showed that Firefox still had me as good as signed in, and I just OKclicked my way in.

[Jack Bauer]

I have noticed a few problems, as of late. I will take screenshots for you to accentuate my point.



Some images do not work.


When making a new topic, text does not show up.


The "Post Reply" buttons do not work.


Some other buttons do not work.

Other than those flaws, I really like the changes thus far. I know you'll be spending these next few days ironing out the inconsistancies, anyways...not to be a bother, but those things could be rather annoying.

[Rubbing head] I found it

[Blofeld's Cat]

Don't worry Jack, we are working on it.

Other than that though I love the new look - I just love change!

[Blofeld's Cat]

What I really like in "New Posts" is that you can "mark all forums as read," which then minimises the list to just the new posts after that action.

Of course you can still view the older posts by changing the time period at the bottom.

[Jack Bauer]

Alright. Good work guys, I can't wait to see the finished thing.

[Bondian]

Don't worry Jack, we are working on it.

Well found BC!.

[Genrewriter]

Interesting look so far, I'll be interested to see it in its finished form. Nice.

[Bond111]

I like the sleeker design. I'll love to see it when it's finished. Thank you for all the hard work Dave & staff.

[Genrewriter]

Oooh. multi-quote. Cool!

[TheSaint]

Looks like I'm going to have to be a bad guy here but, I don't like it. Guess I'll get used to it over time.
