The new look of Zeropaid.com

[dubstylee]

Post problems, complaints, compliments, bugs, thoughts etc here...

New posts button?
I randomly get logged out when navigating around the site.

Oh, and can someone please either remove the mod functionality entirely or just give it all back? The half-ass mod powers I have now are just annoying. The reported posts emails just piss me off now (as I'm sure both Jorge and Chris have noticed since I started randomly forwarding them on).

[Drew Wilson]

Ahh, Jorge finally cloned himself so he can complete the site. Good stuff! :)

The only thing I've noticed is that I've lost my reputation points all of a sudden. :(

Anyone else amused that the tag search lists PORN as the most searched. With dick coming in a close 2nd. Why did you remove post whore leader board?

http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/tags.php

Edit: Found the leader board, why does a link to it not exists in the quick links

The site is so purty!!! I like the new ZP! :P

[Sephiroth]

I like the look of the new site. The forums look alot more simplified and easier to navigate.

The visual style is pretty intuitive, I didn't have a problem finding my way around.

Overall great job with the new look.

Man I love potential of the new profile layout. However it seems the right hand toolbar is out of place. I also did not expect the albums to all of a sudden show up in it. Guess I'll be removing the pictures of me from the albums.

Was looking at the advance searched screen and it also suffers from messed up layouts. Also the text for thread and post is in white which makes it impossible to read.

Reputation bar is broken

Quick links needs to be updated to include leader board, that is about it for my current testing.

[Drew Wilson]

It looks like the there's no ZeroPaid thumbnail thingy next to my URL anymore. Another minor glitch though I'm sure. :)

Oh, and I'll vote for some better smileys too. :)

[Drew Wilson]

Agh, practically a double post.

Anyway, I don't know if it can be fixed, but the right column under the profile tends to float over top of the text (It's particularly prevelent when user browse the 'About Me' tab and you've written enough to have word wrap happening. Collapsing it makes the text visible, but you have to collapse everything.

[Signa]

I'm mostly happy, but my first gripe is the loss of the "new posts" link on the front page. I kinda depend on that feature as a mod. It's not a HUGE deal clicking on "community" first, but I like my things to be single click if it can be helped.

[thelastfreeman]

I have it bookmarked for ease

needs more smileys...http://i40.tinypic.com/akh8xe.gif

[Mels_Smileys45]

I wish Jorge would listen to the emoticons complaint. Its an old standing issue that many want resolved. People LOVE using emoticons to express their inner most feelings so a large variety is a must. The ones that are offered were dusty even in the time of Moses. Please give a assortment of fun new emoticons!!


Also...When I am typing a post the font is unreadable. I have the page enlarged a bit but it only makes it worse, How can I change it? The font looks fine once I post but while writing it it looks really blocky and I have no idea what I have just typed.



http://i40.tinypic.com/muhftl.jpg - I have some emoting to do! Give me some smileys that allow me to express myself!

It happens to the best of people with age. Go to control panel, ease of access tools and turn on the magnifier. Or alternatively you can get bifocals.

I'm just being an asshole, as far as I can tell the text is the same when I type from when I post. Perhaps you are having compatibility issues.

[w31n3r]

if jorge does put a new set of emoticons, i hope he doesn't overdo it like some other sites. i mean like typing a single line then spending an hour going through a gazillion emoticons to find the right one.

how do you get to forum spy btw? i'm too lazy to appreciate change...

EDIT: crosspost

the font DOES look like shit when you're typing at my end too. hmmm, clear type tuning required.

[Mels_Smileys45]

We do need the old view post options back. I used the "new posts" Button constantly and I also liked "Forum Spy" a lot! Bring em back or I have some nasty emoticons I will be posting!

[moneoa]

I vote leave the posted font blue but maybe make the buttons and border bars black and white...too much blue.

The fucking INDENT tag does not work at all.

For example:

^^ That should be indented. Does it look so?

Can we get that fixed?

hey jorge I'd also be grateful if you could get rid of my friggin reported post emails I keep getting @_@


since Potato mentioned it I thought I might as well

I would like the borders to look like they are on fire! Also I like the blue font. Fire and ice!

For some reason I can not get Chrome to pull up the new site but Firefox pulls it up just fine. I get the holding page with the Beatles song with Chrome. Why is this?

Clicking that first link caused FF to close out on me.

[Mels_Smileys45]

Can we get an "Adult Talk" forum? I don't know how we could keep adults in there only but I would enjoy a place to talky sexxxy sexxxy and post pics without having to worry if some youngsters are viewing.

If the forums are gonna get some love as Jorge said I wish this to be a main love making point.

[A_mber]

Thank (whomever) for that damn new posts button, I was lost like a mother fucker before.

[kippies]

First time firefox bugged out, compaining about some PDF thingy restarted it and all was good

Nice new look, all very sleek and sassy- good job

Still would like a skin to make it look like telnet for us old farts lol- in the meantime Ill squint and mistype every third letter

:icon_thum

[Mels_Smileys45]

We all had a meeting while you were offline and decided it would be for the best to add the button for you. Being lost like a mother fucker is never fun but being lost like a son of a bitch is whole different story all together. Enjoy the button and always remember... life without a button is like a dog that is too fat to lick his own balls. It just sucks.

[Mels_Smileys45]

I am wondering why the Zeropaid logo at the top of the page has its own scroll bar to the right. Doesn't seem to serve a purpose. But if Amber can have her button I guess ZP can have its own scroll bar.



EDIT: Urmmm, never mind. I figured out I can make the bar go away by making the page smaller. I had the page enlarged too much so the forum added a scroll bar to the logo. I find that weird but whatevah!

[Miniver]

I just got some kind of weird pdf from one of the ads on the site before i logged in. It activated the acrobat reader plugin in firefox. Methinks jorge should check where he gets his ads from. It looks like some kind of exploit. I'm going to go refresh my disk image.

[dubstylee]

Wow.. well no one noticed but the new site has NO ADS WHATSOEVER.. man after all the years of bitching about ads we finally removed all of them and no one noticed.

yup thats the error I got, with blank drop downs at the top of the screen

reader then asked to install an update, I denied it - dont know its an exploit but its always best to be cautious

I wouldn't do that unless/until Dub says that they are false positives, Tim.

All you have to do is hit the abort connection button and the files in question will not be downloaded to your PC.

Shutting off your AV shield because it is finding threats sorta defeats the whole purpose of using an AV in the first place. ;)

I second that!! I think ZP can handle some bare titties!!:icon_thum

[Mels_Smileys45]

Too late. I never use a anti virus. I can always reformat if worse comes to worse but that does suck.

[Mels_Smileys45]

ARGHHH! I clicked on the zeropaid logo and it says zeropaid.com is gone. I then hit my ZP bookmark and it said ZP was gone. Is it really gone or am I dreaming?

Yeah, I can get to the forums, but thats it. Any other ZP link, including the main page just comes up blank, no 404 or anything.:icon_scra

Maybe I won't be updating my site so soon after all.

[dubstylee]

what browsers are you guys using? is this the case right now?

[Mels_Smileys45]

Its working again but I am using Chrome and Firefox both

[Mels_Smileys45]

BTW, testing the new SEARCH function... it seems to work now! That alone is well worth the work! Alriiiighttt!

[RACKnRAIL]

I wasn't having any problems with FF until just now. I had to post this with IE.

I just restarted FF and now I get that same message. I have to use Chrome to get to ZP now.

Furthermore I am now running AVG to check for virus'. Until I turned on AVG I was at least able to get to ZP but it seems AVG's FF function is blocking ZP now I guess

[Potato]

Is there a way to see what time posts are made at, instead of "5 hours ago" or whatever? Was that the fix for the time being incorrect?

Kudos on the lack of ads, btw. :D

[Mels_Smileys45]

no time no how. I wish Jorge would hurry up with pimping out the forums! You would think since the forums are the lifes blood of ZP that the forums would be the first part of ZP to receive the most attention.

[w31n3r]

surfing ZP using chrome creeps me out. it blends in too well with chromes theme colors.

i had trouble navigating till i realised i had scripts disabled. so if you're using the no script extension, make sure to allow ZP...unless you consider the virus talk that's being going on...decisions, decisions.

[evilmegaman]

Wow.. well no one noticed but the new site has NO ADS WHATSOEVER.. man after all the years of bitching about ads we finally removed all of them and no one noticed.

I agree Please put the time and date back- It was less confusing.

I suspect that a lot of bugs are currently being worked out, so pimping the forums might be the next step after all the kinks are worked out. :)

i came in here to say the exact same thing. just noticed it and i think it has great potential, if it could get beyond Dec 2006 :/

i'm still learning new things about the site since i didn't have time before this. i think today's going to be slow work wise so i'm just going to goof off and play with the new toys jorge's given us :D

i love the new user profiles, previously i couldn't even see stuff you guys had written out about yourselfs.

[1cooldude]

RSS, Facebook and Twitter tabs are a nice feature. I'm noticing less spam or it may be to early for them??

pure vBulletin runs much faster without custom version of CMS and it seems to prove that fact.

HOLY HELL! Thanks Jorge! This is awesome! I can finally express myself! :aargh4:

[mfgbypooter]

Is there a way to read posts with a user defined font and font colors?

Or if not could you tweak the size up just a hair for us blind folk?

Reading posts the text sure seems to be a bit tiny and the blue font looks just a tad washed out or at least it does to me.

Could we have a re-classification for senior members with a power to close our own threads? Just an idea.

Forum Change

Frequent Members / VIPs which is about 4.5k+ of the users have improved rights. For the most part you have complete control over your posts/threads.

They already have it but good programs can cut right through that shit. ZP is a popular P2P site so its a good target for spammers. We really need some deputies that can police spam when mods are not logged in.

Didn't feather have his hand up for this job? Hell, I'd even help, if they so wish it. I'm sure there's a few other regulars here that would be willing to help.

[Mels_Smileys45]

Lots of people have said they would help with them spam only but nothing has ever been attempted. I don't know how to iron out the limited mod abilities but if it can be done I should be done. BTW, I love being able to mod my own threads now! Being able to make my own private threads should turn out to be interesting...at least for me.

[Potato]

Sorry, I've been sick and havn't been feeling like playing cleanup. There were 40 threads with new posts when I came on just now.

You're not the only mod though.

I hope you feel better soon :)

[Signa]

Yeah, I'm getting over it. And don't think I'm trying to sound self important or arrogant; I know when I'm not around, others will pick up the slack. I've been off of work so much lately, it just feels like I'm the only one that does something because I'm always here getting first crack at killing the spam. Therefore, I was feeling a little responsible for the spam being visible to everyone else.

[1cooldude]

For whatever matters, I think you're doing a fine job Signa. Reading Mels and RACK's posts I would have to agree and suggest that giving a couple of regulars some additional mod power (when it comes to spam) would be a very good idea. It seems that origin and time of these spam posts is always in the wee hours of the morning when the board is very quiet.
