Forum Changes

[interest1]

I don't know why you would assume that. Is anyone else finding the background hard on the eyes?

We are sorry for the delay. Coincidentally, is there anyone on SZ that knows vBulletin on the programming level? We've had some trouble addressing the issues voiced here.

Since you asked, I'll throw my donut into the fryer, too.

I can barely stand to be on the site for 5 minutes now. And that's with my screen dimmed to the lowest setting.
E, it's one thing to clean the site up visually; it's another to bleach the personality right out of it.
Forum is edible, just not palatable.

Ok, and what's with all these food references?! Someone needs a little beddy-bye snack.

Jeez, I thought everyone liked white. Ok, I still need to find a software developer, so if anyone has any leads, please let me know.

Haha, I do, Dear, of course I like white.

There is just something about the tone-on-tone scheme here that's creating retinal overload. Notice the pale grey border surrounding the white is blue-based and so light that there likely isn't enough contrast for the eye to comfortably differentiate.

This may be a non-issue for someone who pops onto the forum for short spurts throughout the day (such as yourself, given your hectic and varied schedule), but imagine someone trying to acquaint themselves to the forum or an old-timer like me trying to do one of my ridiculous 50+ photo blasts. It becomes impossible to stay engaged on, ironically, a very engaging site.

Form should never come at the expense of function.

You, give up?

What the fudgies are you talking about? I'm pretty sure you're good at everything, F.

PS: thx, nice to be back. We never can stay away from this marshmallow trampoline too long, can we.

To be honest, i would just revert back to the old design, which was good and which people gotten used to over the years.

There's an old saying: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Was there anything wrong with it? Or did you just want to freshen things up?

if you read back, the forum software was updated and it was not possible to import the old theme. We will work on this one.

So I am a newcomer, for sure, but I started lurking this forum about two years ago (well before the theme changes). And while this white theme is a little too bright and "corporate" feeling, it is more professional looking than the previous one. When I initially found this site, I kind of dismissed it at first because it looked pretty dated and overly edgy. In my opinion as a pseudo-outsider, I recommend darkening this theme slightly, but not doing all black and (beige?) like it was before. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Again, if anyone can recommend a vBulletin programmer, let me know.

You should try my friend again -- I'm sure he could sort out any issue with a vBulletin.

Hi, all - I believe the search function is fixed - could you test? Also, we should be able to fix the navigation by the end of the week. Sorry it's been so long and thank you for bearing with us.

[Sufi]

Search is working fine now, so is the option to find previous posts made by users. Although I still prefer the old dark theme.

When i search for threads and posts through someone's profile everything comes up so I guess it's indeed fixed.

I would also suggest to change the behavior of classified threads where we can't edit the title after a while if possible. It would be great to remove this restriction, people wouldn't have to constantly post new threads just for updates.

Quick question: I’m trying to finally upload awn avatar to my profile, but it doesn’t work. The picture in question is smaller than 64kb and it’s size is exactly 100 x 100 px.

I know it's taken forever, but the navigation menu works now.
