Guest wwb_99 Posted April 6, 2001 Share Posted April 6, 2001 I have no idea, but I did get the second post of the day in. Woo Hoo! And slow fridays do suck without the forum to surf.

StellarRat Posted April 6, 2001 Share Posted April 6, 2001 It seems to run much faster now! But, of course, I'm probably one of the first people on it, so load is low right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarRat Posted April 6, 2001 Share Posted April 6, 2001 Looks like they still have quite a bit of work left to do on it. There are very few headers for things. [This message has been edited by StellarRat (edited 04-06-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 We had a VERY messy upgrade to 6.02, then 6.03 (all in the same day :mad: ). We aren't even through all this crap yet. Argh...

Michael Emrys Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 I couldn't get on at all all day Friday. :mad: Seems like you went down Thursday night too, but that far back, everything is a haze. :confused: Looks like we got some new gadgets to play with though; that's nice. Hope they got the clock set to the right time: it's been getting further and further ahead, last time I checked by about 12 minutes.

Battlefront.com Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 Yeah, the Forum has been down since Thursday evening and has only just come back up (officially) a couple hours ago. What a PITA! Overall, the new version is better than the old one. Hopefully the server hogging problems will be reduced at the very least. I'll see about resetting the clock. LINUX might be a powerfull server platform, but I guess it can't tell time very well Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfe Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 It'll probably take a little while to get sued to the new look. But one thing I already dislike is the forced auto-refresh of the main forums pages. This tag: {META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"} is on every page and does not allow you to simply hit the back button on the Netscape browser to return to the page you just left without reloading it (it doesn't seem to affect IE, BTW). If I need to refresh/reload a page, I can easily hit the appropriate button on my browser. The forum really doesn't need to do this for me. Any chance you could nuke this "feature"? Thanks. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least yours seems to gain time in a consistent manner. I have to set the clock on my computer every time I log on to the internet. Sometimes it's fast; sometimes it's slow; sometimes it's on time. Sometimes it's off by a little, sometimes by a lot. You'd think they would put a decent clock in a computer that's already going for nearly $3,000 wouldn't you? :confused: Michael [ 04-07-2001: Message edited by: Michael emrys ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACTOR Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 I like the speed of the new forum, but the colors are a bit hard on the eyes, especially for those of us who spend more time here then anywhere else.

russellmz Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 the BAD ------------- colors...nuff said if a post has multiple page numbers then the page numbers are listed on the RIGHT --> rather than the LEFT <-- on top of the post where they normally are. links are orange BUT NOT UNDERLINED...ugh hopefully a few of these things will be corrected when the colors are fixed. harder to tell when a post was edited because it sez so BEFORE your sig instead of after. if u click edit on a post that isn't yours it won't let you see the post since you are not the guy who wrote it...this means you cant see the url of images in that post without using "view source" in your browser...annoying to search for a post by someone handle you need to type in an id number, not the name...ugh the GOOD ------------------- can do ubb much more easily with the buttons on the bottom & smillies sig automatically added: yay! add a pic of yourself to profile the EH, WHATEVER font is one size smaller for some reason. when u edit a profile, you have to click profile, then click edit profile...kinda annoying but no less than when u had to type in a password [ 04-07-2001: Message edited by: russellmz ] [ 04-08-2001: Message edited by: russellmz ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonicc Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 I will have to third the request for some different background color this white is very hard on the eyes. I do a lot of reading of this board late at night with the lights out so as not to disturb my family and the bright ness is a killer. Just thought of something, anyway to get a bar at the bottom of the posts like the one at the top: the one that has the links to which forum you want to go to. Ok so I am lazy and don't want to have to scroll all the way back to the top to click back to the forum.
