New Look

Yeah....i'm not really fond of it. I find it confusing and too compact. The old one was straightforward and easy to grasp, i just get lost in this one.

I'd have to agree. I think if you expanded the width it would get rid of the cluttered feel. The one thing I really do like though is the Main Forum window and the Reply to Thread window. With the Reply to Thread window, I'ts much easier to edit text and such. But I do appriciate the time you dedicated to improve the site.

After spending a bit of time with the new look, it's not so bad anymore. It just looks too overwhelming and confusing at first.......still like the older one better though!

Yeah, Nomad, i do think this is one of those times where we all have to agree that this is one fuck up we wish you could fix. the other was easy to use. this one is too damn bright. and on big ass monitor, an eyesore.

Nothing personal, nomad. you still rule

The old look was getting boring. Nomad, I would suggest experimenting with expanding the forum width, that way its not all bunched to gether and it wont give off a confusing look.

Thumbs down

i thought it sucked before i saw the reply screen, now this is just horrible...

maybe the tab posting forum will look nicer somehow...

there are some neat little extras though, its not ALL bad, but the overall look and navigation of everything is just not right.

BUT, you do have to keep things fresh, keep moving forward...change is enevitable, if things don't change, there can never be improvement.

coming back...where is the "home" botton?? HOW DO I GET BACK TO THE REAL SITE?!?!?!?!?

even w/some extras, some stuff is gone, like showing the character number in the posting forum...VERY IMPORTANT TOOL...even though only half the people used it...and there are bugs like post number and stuff, but that doesn't matter...

perhaps we can vote on getting the old look back?

my complaint is that some of the font sizes are too big and obnoxious looking, and the width of the posts need to adjusted. the signature font size needs to be smaller than the main post text, definitely


but there are some new features of this new software that are nice, like the "quick links" link at the top.


and another thing, this is a small gripe, is it possible to have the avatar positioned under the name again? now my avatar is weird and useless.

the tab posting forum is screwy too...if you edit your post, or even paste your tab into the box, it looks all fucked up...its fine once you finish creating the thread and post it, but for editing purposes and such afterwards, its just not going to work.

sorry Nomad, maybe we're all jumping the gun here, but we just don't like what happened...i understand and see what you were trying to do though, and the thought is still appreciated...but....... as noted by BLS

I'm not sure if nomad can change it back completely. If vBulletin updated their service to a certain general look, then isn't that how it has to be?

I really don't know much about it.

I'm probably the only one here that likes it. You can easily change the titles to "Supreme Metalhead" and all that crap, but that is if Nomad actually wants to. vB3 obviously has a shitload of new features, I'm liking the change.

Oh, and Memnoch. Didn't you have more than 2,000 posts?

EDIT: Actually.. it seems a few people have lost posts. http://www.metaltabs.com/forum/memb...osts&pp=30&ltr=

Heya!

Thanks for your feedback!

I will fix the width, colours, font sizes, etc., I just didn't have time to finish everything yesterday. Give me a couple of days, okay?

Some of the graphics are off (blue instead of green), and I'm going to leave it as it is now. The final vB3 release (<1 month) will have brand new graphics anyway.

Well, I'm afraid vB2 is gone permanently and you will need to get used to the new vB3 features. I hope it won't be too painful

I will keep you posted about the changes.

cheers,
nomad

yeah, I hope it'll turn out ok, because its a pain in the rear end right now

can we get a quick reply feature?

might be an easy tool...

as far as the design goes for now, its fucking painfull to your eyes and it reads crappy, but it is more modern and stuff, also some other features, but I really don't like the layout and stuff...

the names ABOVE the post are really annoying, they where better at the side, it confuses me, a lot... it'll take a while to get used to!

at least it's green....

we'll see what it'll turn out to be!

hmm lacks the Mark all forums read in the new posts section...
the message window in reply to gets out of its frame in mozilla

and a "Watch this thread" would be nice too (itd notify on replies without you needing to actually reply in it, like phpBB2 can do)

Here is a list of resolved issues:
  • Replaced most of the blue graphics with green. The rest will be replaced with the final vB3 release.
  • Made signature font smaller.
  • Added quick reply feature.
  • Set min number of characters in a post to 1.
  • Greenish reply screen colours.
  • Greenish quick links.
  • Custom user titles (Supreme Metalhead, etc...)

Still to do:
  • Fixed width font when editing/previewing in Tab Posting Forum
  • MetalTabs.com header and footer.

Concerning avatars on the left vs. centered, I'm going to make a poll on it in a few days. You will decide how it will look like, but I want you first to get used to the new design a little.

Please let me know if you have other requests.

Yes, its looking better allready Nomad!

the quick reply thing comes in handy when you're used to it, I love it, but I don't know what other users think about it, opinion anyone?

And I wonder whats with the 'reputation' thing, I added a point to nihilist's reputation, so what does it do? theres no scores or anything?

mod control panel in the thread tools bar comes in really handy!

Okay Def, you see the green dots next to your posts? When you get 100 more rep points, it increases by one. Every time you rep someone, that's 10 points. It's just a popularity contest really. You can only give out so many in 24 hours, and you can't give points to the same post.

Oh, and make sure you include your name when repping someone (in the comments section), otherwise you have no indication as to whom gave you the points.

ah right, I see it now, is the comments section in the user CP or something?

edit: found it, Nomad, we need a moderators lounge again to bitch about members and post the good stuff (you know, you private files and stuff )

edit 2: found the moderators lounge too, haha, what the hell! guess I was still confused about the new look or something

When you rep someone, it has a little box for input. You need to enter who you are in there. When you get repped, you see who has repped you, and in what thread in the User CP. You can also hover over your little green dot(s) and it pops up with a little message.

And I LOVE quick reply. So handy for us retardedly-lazy guys.

When someone gives you reputation points (I just did to you, BoC), it will show it in the User CP. Of course, you can't see who from unless they put their name when they repped you.

I am on a distinguished road, lol, whatever I rated you too nihilist, rated some other users too.
I'm allready used to the quick reply feature since I've used it on another forum a whole bunch, it works like a charm, plus you can include a quote here too. nice.

The names above the post thing still pisses me off somehow, because I haven't seen any forums with the names above instead of next to their posts (so its against my nature or something...)

the new moderation controls in the thread options thing is great, but the special menu for mods is a mess
the width of the posts and stuff looks fine now, good going Nomad, it's getting there!

Nomad, can we get working [img] tags for attachments and stuff? (we never had those, but we see them on other forums so that option is prolly just 'off' now?)

and what about the names, like metalhead, supreme metalhead, maybe a newbie should be called 'Cunt' instead (under like 20 posts or something)

yeah, its about time we made this forum more woman-friendly!



edit: can we get the 'location' thing back too? it's nice to see where everybody is from, so we can be random cunts to australians and stuff!

about the reputation thing...its useless and it makes metaltabs look more like a kid site "look i have 1400 rep and you only have 1200, you suck, haha"...

and can we get the "home" botton back at the top of the page, i don't like how the forum takes over and traps you into never being able to leave.

besides that good work so far Nomad.

There are lots of new features in vB3, some are nice, other are just useless. I propose to wait a few weeks before deciding what we want to leave.

I'm starting to work on this right now. As a workaround, there's a link on the very bottom of each page

I think it was discussed already a year ago or so. It's possible to switch on this feature, but I'd rather prefer not to. Most of the forums I saw with IMG tag enabled look so damn messy...

Grr.

And yeah, the reputation system is pretty useless. As I said earlier, it's just a popularity contest. Whoever has the most green dots is the best.

Yeah, it keeps getting better and better, I guess the image tags enabled would make the forums more messy because they can change the width of the whole forum (it spreads the pictures)

as far as the titles go, it would be a good idea to include titles at 500 and 1000 posts too, I think. 100 post aren't that many for the last title, most oldskool members have more.

anyways, great going nomad, we're getting there!

would it be an option to make the task bar that says "active users" and "moderators" and "display options" at the top of the page instead of the bottom? Then you could see whos on the second you are on the page.

EGAD MAN!!!!!

MY POSTS!! NNNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I had well over 5000 posts before. Now i'm down to a measily 2100-something. I'm guessing the database of a year or more has been deleted or something though, cause lots of "older" members have lost posts.

Mine are fine. And you don't need 5,000 posts. How could you get that many anyway? It must be a mod thing.

This is confusing... Why are things so big? It takes forever me to load too. What the hell happened? This quick reply thing is cool, but I have to go to the last page to use it which completely ruins the purpose of it.

Update

I've just added the location field and enabled CAPS'ing.

Post counts were accidentally re-calculated taking into account deleted old threads. I'm afraid there's no way to restore them, I'm very soory about this...

Dissection, did you find the 'Change avatar' option in the User CP? If not, feel free to PM me your avatar, I'll put it up for you.

It seems all issues so far are resolved. We still need to decide on the post layout and the need for the reputation feature.

cheers,
nomad

I want to wait till the final vBulletin 3 release. The graphics in it will be changed, as might some layout.

They will probably release it in a couple of weeks...
