12:00AM (Eastern, GMT-5)...May 12th 2005...
Looks like all the board images need to be replaced... by the looks of it, it just gives image-problemed users like me a text-version of the buttons...I think
Anyways, this is neat...
*notices new Spell Checker*
*notices various other features*
^_^ This'll be interesting

Well it only took me A MILLION YEARS to log in because apparently my e-mail isn't working... But I entered in an alternate address and it sent right away. It's a weird situation. I dislike the new look but I can't be sure if that's because fab has stripped all the cool MMLS stuff or if it's just going to be cluttered like this forever. Frankly, I think most of the visible new features are pretty snoopy, like knowing where other people are viewing topics. Who needs to know? And highest number of posters? WHY DOES THAT EVEN MATTER? Sorry but what I've seen of the update so far is pretty worthless. fab's the one who gets all the really cool stuff.  |

I almost died of loss of MMLS forums in my blood stream, you never know how much you go to a forum until it is gone do to an update to version 4.
If fab says the update will make the forum better, it will. fab knows how to use the updates to his advantage, and look at it this way, when NMN posts, the spell checker might catch half of his errors.
(YAY no spelling errors found)

I kinda like most of this stuff... I dunno, I don't see anything wrong with it... Some of the stuff seems a little pointless. Like the Bookmark system instead of Notifications... There's no difference except that you can choose whether to be notified by PM or Email. At least that's all I've seen from it... I like this Quick Reply thing. I don't really know what else there is to V4 though...
Am I losing my mind or is everything smaller?

I don't think anything's smaller so much as it is that EVERYTHING IS CRAMPED! ARGH! *gets blood clot and dies*

I think the links all are either smaller or no longer bold - links within topics anyway... I don't remember.
I dunno, it's not too terrible. FireFox/Mozilla users can get around the small thing pretty easy..
I wish it had more interesting things to play with though...

Well, the spellcheck was a nice touch, as well as the quick reply. Also, the calendar actually displays events this time. The new looks isn't as good as the old one, but I like most of the other stuff. Fab is lucky, he runs on server 7, which is why he got the upgarde so early. My forum runs on server 45...  Well, I'm off to go check out those new profile features! 
*runs off*
EDIT: We can have 400 characters in the signature!

Hyaa! When guests look at the Avatar they don't see the picture! I don't like that because they won't sometimes understand what the avatar is saying(For example, PharaohManXe54's poorly drawn Servbot's avatar)! Or was is always like that?

Ooh, a spell check. Now I won't have to copy into Word to correct the 90% of my typing that I misspell. I like that. On the other hand, it was, what, a 3 day wait for the update? Far too long for such sparse improvements. For me anyway. I'm sure at least one of you can use the numerous other features integrated into the update. I, however, don't think that I've ever had so much trouble navigating the '10 most recent posts' page.  |

*gasp* It's fAB not FAB!!! *back to topic* I almost died of loss of MMLS forums in my blood stream, you never know how much you go to a forum until it is gone do to an update to version 4. I think I suffered forum withdrawl too...I, dare I say it, found myself browsing another forum! (It's was MMLU, don't get so uptight over this) Anyways, I think the colours are still a bit off...BUT AT LEAST I CAN NAVIGATE! At the top, it neatly says [Home] [Help] [Search] etc in plain red (courier?) text. On the non-displaying avatars, it just says "[Avatar]"... *crying* I WANT MY IMAGES *starts kicking Norton Security* |

Yeah I didn't know what to do while the boards were down... I kept checking back here like every half hour!! XD ;D Now off I go to read about all the new features in Proboards V4 that I should've read while the site was down... /me Pitch runs off * Every half hour? Poor soul... Anyway, I was playing around with the appearance, back and forth, so I'm not sure which of you left comments at what point... As of now, the place looks pretty much as it should. The new layout reeks to me of vbulliten and other forums you have to pay for. My first forums were like this, so it doesn't bother me a bit. As for improvements, yeah, most of them you can't see yet, because they're admin type things that are either not for the regular members' eyes, or stuff that I haven't implemented yet. Here are just a few things though that have/will change... Member Groups++Standard member groups like the 5 Zakobon-Hanmuru Doll ones will now have 10. ++Additional member groups can be added with special privelages. ++Custom Title does not replace your member group, so if you reach 400 posts and want to be a "Legends Freak!", it won't take away your Hamnuru Doll Status. Forum Setup++We now have the ability to make sub-forums within forums. For example, the Fan Stuff could be divided into Fan Art, Fan Fiction, Web Sites, and Other. I'll be carefully considering the best places to implement this feature. ++Forum areas can be set to not add to the post count, meaning we can set aside a place for those crazy forum games and other such topics that breed SPAM and easy posting, and not have to worry about it so much. And so on... Off the top of my head, those are the ones that stand out after toying with the huge new admin list... I'm sure they'll be more new stuff, but anyway... Yeah, I've got some work to do... Oh, and don't forget we promised to start up an RP Forum when V4 arrived, so that'll be coming! |
