[method77]

[PuNiShErKiLl666]

[Undying Wizard NHD]

[method77]

well your to late... check the other lounge!!well, THIS is the lounge.

[crackerjacker]

I like this a lot better. I don't have go the index page to see if i have a PM>

[vipp]

Well, so far I hate it. The smilies appear to be screwed up, and I can't find the "view new threads" button. :(

[REDO]

I think it looks sexy.... Just put the smilies back.


I want to thank-you Jorge....

[shawners]

is their a way of when you click on current new post, when it opens up, instead of having to scroll down what you might have read, have buttons on the top to hit the page over.. saying theres three pages, you read the first two, and you see 3, and you click over there to read whats new, or click on last page would work.
In the forums if you go through there you can click on what page number to go to. So just wondering.

[method77]

Well, so far I hate it. The smilies appear to be screwed up, and I can't find the "view new threads" button. :(kinda dumb but here it is

[vipp]

you beat me to it....i was going to say that....but...im still trying to get used to things here :)


Also, I had to move 3000 miles to get the time to be right. (don't mind me, I don't handle change well)

[vipp]

kinda dumb but here it is


Oh, those say temporary buttons. *whew*

Thanks method77.

[racer894]

I dont like this new look one bit. Its too boxy and I think its about time for a color change...

[method77]

how do I change this??? I can't find the damn thing *$)^#&)%@$%

[vipp]

I think it would be better if you moved the "report this post" back over to the right side. I'm guessing it may get accidently clicked quite often as people click links in the sigs. It's too close to that, IMO.

Seems quite a bit slower to me too. Hope that's temporary as the final touches are being added.


(vipp is still grumbling a bit)

[The Hunter]

Well so far i like it, and it will take a while to get used to. You know what they say a change is as good as a rest.

[Krypt0]

it's nice and all, but why the update? what was wrong with the old one?

edit: after checking out the forums for a bit, I realized several things that have an advantage over the old style.

[Nothingface5384]

ahhh i change...its aight...blue is always good :-D

[Serps]

I like the new look. Panicked at first until I found out where the view new post button was but overall Its a good change.

[Potato]

vipp you're not the only one who had to change the time about a million times to get it right. According to zp, I'm in the mid-Atlantic (or Central time zone...).

[phalkon30]

how do I change this??? I can't find the damn thing *$)^#&)%@$%
I can't find it either.

My suggestion is to let Jorge and dub play with settings, this seems to be more of a preview, sorta like FOFS had

[broadwayrock]

One improvement that no one has mentioned yet is that there doesnt seem to be a dedicated ES5 forum now.

[Sephiroth]

I think its pretty slick. Theres some nice new moderator features too that will help make things alot easier.

Now we can use redirects and after a few days clear them out.. So now people wont have to search for any threads that get moved from now one.

[MoonMan]

It's odd, but I like it. Definitally something new and fresh.

[vipp]

That has been mentioned in another thread.


Hi bw *waves*

[Evil_Dweller_01]

Eheh..it looks pretty good

I still have to adjust though

[rainbowdemon]

I think it looks great! It's going to take a little while to get used to the details, but that's cool!!

[baghdad_steve15]

nice look but now everything is backwards :upside . Still good look.

[mojo-ris-in]

Mojo Likee :devil

[rainbowdemon]

Also, I had to move 3000 miles to get the time to be right. (don't mind me, I don't handle change well)I see a 4 hour difference. I would have to move to Hawaii to make it correct. Aloha, I'm outta here!!!!

[SUprEMeBeiNg]

I dont like this new look one bit. Its too boxy and I think its about time for a color change...

its ok

but i like the new smilies so ill shut up

:ass

nm ^^^ it sucks if i cant see my amd girl :green3

[xcentraa]

Looks like what ZeroPaid Forums should have looked like from the beginning. Clean lines, easy to read and there is a "new posts" button on the top of the page. Me like! (Just my opinion, feel free to :devil me, if need be)

[Ken17625]

The bouncing frog..............................IS NOT ONE OF THE STANDARD SMILIES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


Ok, seriously, I just flat out don't like it. The color, the placement of buttons, everything. I'm just being honest.

[Malicious Intent]

#Heres, where, foreeeeevvver you are....

.o0O(Great film tha..)WTF has happened here? The clock is all wrong and something else has changed. Can't put my finger on it...

[Malicious Intent]

I'm glad someone said it. The smilies seem to change BTW.

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

I'm having trouble with the time. I don't even remember packing my bags...

:fire :fire :fire :fire :fire He's Back!!!!!

Ok seriously though the color is definitely different but it looks pretty clean and tight to me. As far as the buttons go, maybe they'll change or maybe they won't but either way once I get used to things, I think I can live with it. BTW the new MOD options rock IMHO.

[metale]

i like it too....this is pretty good soo far....search still needs 4 characters


I hate that!!

Do you wanna search for war? You can't!
Do you wanna search for sex? You can't!

Do you wanna search for metale? You can!

[Lamourlady]

well, first thing is i went to change the "text" size.
kind of small, well not really...just used to that very large texting.
and i went to send a pm......which are always too long, and no way to see how many exact letters i have.......it only says to trim it down to 1000.
so that sucks.
other than that, just had to look things over a bit.
btw.......looks good overall.
just got to get used to it.

edit...also noticed that the "view new posts" doesn't always "refresh".....have to hit..."new posts" again to see any new replys or new posts.


or...........maybe it's just me...lol.

[reg]

it's friday & it's raining ... ugh!!! ... anyway, is there a way to view new posts without logging in?? sometimes i come for a quick peek, without logging in, but it looks like the "new post" only appears after logging in ...

[eclectica]

You ought to fix your forum time in your admin control panel before everyone changes it in their profile.

One thing that people forget is that GMT is constant and should not be affected by daylight savings time. So for me in New York, I am -4 hours GMT in the Summer and -5 hours GMT in the Winter.

[don webb]

Reminds me of old UTC Forums pages ??????

Colours will sure wake you up :tilted

Will take soom getting use to .......

[rainbowdemon]

Actually the tables are a bit too big for my screen. 800x600 res. If I set it higher, the print is too small to read easily.

[xcentraa]

I have my screen set at 1024x768, but I know sometimes it's hard to find a good monitor that displays the text properly. :tilted

[rainbowdemon]

I have my screen set at 1024x768, but I know sometimes it's hard to find a good monitor that displays the text properly. :tiltedYou are right about that. This one is a Dell. I would think that would be fairly good. I'll just work with it some more.

[Wolfie]

I see sigs images are still down (I assuming the the setup for the VB code is still the same as the old forum).

[fernandez]

Is it still possible to change avatars?

[Foreverboard]

It will take some getting use to but not bad.

[Wolfie]

Is it still possible to change avatars?

I don't think the avatar page is working to full specs. No option for custom avatar either that i could see.

[fernandez]

Thanks, I was wondering about that too. I deleted mine by accident yesterday.

[Sephiroth]

For those who want their avatars chanes. Attact what you want it to be and ill change it manually for now until it gets fixed.

[eclectica]

how do I change this??? I can't find the damn thing *$)^#&)%@$%
I think what happened is that they turned off the ability of users to change their custom titles, and that's why the option can't be found anywhere in the user cp (http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/usercp.php). You are stuck with the title you had until the admins allow us to change it here.

I was an Advanced user before now just a registerd user :(

[Malicious Intent]

Don't worry Don Webb, you have enough posts to change it back to Advance BBS Member as soon as they sort the options out! :gj

[metale]

Thanks, I was wondering about that too. I deleted mine by accident yesterday.

I had change my avantar without any problem. The system loves me!

[Malicious Intent]

Didn't you change that before the new boards were released? Its very nice, whenever you changed it.

[method77]

I had change my avantar without any problem. The system loves me!i am not talking about the avatar. I'm talking about the title. Changing your avatar is easy. It's right there with big letters. Only stupid people can't find it.

[don webb]

Malicious:
Things will work out. Been here long enough to wait it out :;) Don't have alot of time now, will wait till AM :gj

[Malicious Intent]

So what is with the little square next to our post counts? When I move my mouse over it, it comes up with the persons name, but you can't click it.

[Kooperman]

That's for mods....one push and you go flying through cyberspace.

[Malicious Intent]

Thats the ban button?

[Kooperman]

Thats the ban button?

They're already calling it the "Cat-Skinner".

[Malicious Intent]

/me looks round nerviously

[Sephiroth]

Thats for reputation. I dunno what exactly it does so you see the check mark box to the left of the edit button at the very bottom of my post. Click and find out what it does.

[Malicious Intent]

I hit the disapprove button! I'm guessing your reputation just fell lol!

[rainbowdemon]

I hit the disapprove button! I'm guessing your reputation just fell lol!
I checked approve, so it balanced out. Seph is all right as far as I'm concerned.

[Malicious Intent]

Well done for correcting me - I'll approve you for that lol.
We should make groups to approve eachother. Then we will all look good.

[aqlo]

They ought to hook that up to post count like a score
(no offense to anyone else like me who would end up with a negative post count)

[Sephiroth]

It works per post. Now if you hover over the box in my last post it tells you the reputation of that post.

[rainbowdemon]

Thats for reputation. I dunno what exactly it does so you see the check mark box to the left of the edit button at the very bottom of my post. Click and find out what it does.
Is there a way to view the results of this? btw/good idea M.I. lol

[Wolfie]

I think the tally system for the reputation thingie might not be working yet. For everyone I looked it says unknown quantity. That was even after I add some positive and nagative points to test it.

Or maybe unknown quantity means you don't have enough either way to have reputation?


Btw, didn't the old UTC forums used to have something similar with a bunch bars under your avatar?

[MoonMan]

Didn't the old UTC forums used to have something similar with a bunch bars under your avatar?

Yeah and made it look like some kind of cheap RPG with no real plot and alot of sappy bastards.

-insert the love child- ::0

[method77]

somebody please explain "referrals" in users profile. Anyone?

[phalkon30]

When a user signs up, if they put your name in for a refferal, it means "you reffered them to zp and had them sign up". This was in the old boards to, I think it was just a little burried.

[Hova_19]

Yeah and made it look like some kind of cheap RPG with no real plot and alot of sappy bastards.

-insert the love child- ::0
You bastard.

Anyway, the ZP forums are looking sweet, a bit slow on my end, but once its in my cache it would be alright. Keep it up :goodjob

I espically like when you hover over a thread title and get the synopsis (first post) of the thread.

[mfgbypooter]

bout time for another forum update isn't it?

*

[Feather]

yeah i want new shit

[mfgbypooter]

The last upgrade took away our profiles. We need more of that.

And please, don't ever change our kick ass emoticons.

*

[YWD67]

God please don't give Jorge any ideas. The last thing we need is more tinkering with the ZP ticker.
If anything should be updated, it is some of the P2P programs that no longer exist.
Most of the old ones go no where except to "Oops! this page no longer exist."

[DrewWilson]

If I ever get a crap load of free time again, I'd probably look into updating the guides, though something tells me that this won't happen until next summer. *groan*

This is an insanely busy time of year. Not sure about anyone else on the staff, but I'm pretty much up to my ears in work and I've only come here to just relax and post stuff for fun (don't even have the energy to research news stories even this time of year, though I'm hoping that'll change when the semester is over)

[Potato]

bout time for another forum update isn't it?

You mean one of those where we come to the site, and it's down for a day, then come back to some new cool stuff, a bunch of broken stuff, and the same amount of spam? Sign me up.

[Feather]

tyeah with a bunch of shit that never got fixed
