OMG what a horrible new design!

[crabapple]

This is such an ugly and unattractive new design. And we can't upload photos to our posts anymore either...it has to be a link to a url...well, a lot of the convenience went right out the window. This was basically my favorite message board site too. Oh well, guess I'll put a couple of smileys here just for fun.
:eek: :rolleyes: :mad: :( :o

Hey wow...there is even a limit to the number of smilies you can use (5). I tried to lay 7 of them down and had to go back and correct it.

[The Mothman]

god dammit. we should fucking revolt. this is gay as hell. change it back.:mad: :mad:

[The Mothman]

this is really sad. really, it is. this site was my favorite. i cant stand this shit. ive been here for more than two years, and it just got butchered,

[urgeok]

change is never easy - after a brief period of adjustment we'll all be used to it.

I haven't had any problems with that. Here, check the tourney I'm hosting. I posted pics about an hour ago.

Now, you're just nitpicking. Who needs more than 5 smilies? I think 1 is more than enough.

You & Mothman sound like a couple of curmudgeons... haha

"Change is bad."

"We hate new things."

"Put it back to how it was."

"When I was your age, I used to..."

"Damn kids!"

[bwind22]

The 1 and only thing I DON'T like about the new layout is that it's very difficult to tell where someone's post ends & their signature begins. I think that little line above the signature should be extended across the whole page. Other than that, I'm liking it.

[crabapple]

Yeah, the thing is----now here's the thing: I pay a lot of money to be able to post here!

Wait, no I don't...it's free.

Never mind.

[Disease]

I'm still not seeing any pics bwind22?

[bwind22]

I'm still not seeing any pics bwind22?

On the Best Horror Comedy Tourney Thread you aren't seeing any pics? They're showing up for me just fine... Can anyone else see them?

[hammerfan]

Yes, I can see them.

I have a question: On the main Forum page, if you scroll to the bottom where it tells you who's online, why do some members have a + sign next to their name?

[bwind22]

That means they are better than the people without a plus. Anyone with a minus is a bottom feeder.

[bwind22]

I kid of course. I have no idea. I just went and looked but no one had a plus by them for me.

[hammerfan]

:D :o

I just figured it out - it means they're on my buddy list

[scaryminda15]

ur right why mess with something that is free when other sites u will sometimes have to pay.:rolleyes: :D :o :p

[bwind22]

Oh, I see.... You have friends.


*slumps shoulders and walks away alone down a deserted street as it starts to drizzle.*

[hammerfan]

bwind - I just sent you a PM

[_____V_____]

Oh, I see.... You have friends.


*slumps shoulders and walks away alone down a deserted street as it starts to drizzle.*


Hey best bud, dont forget that in my screen, you got a + beside your name...

you are my buddy. :)

[stygianwitch]

On the Best Horror Comedy Tourney Thread you aren't seeing any pics? They're showing up for me just fine... Can anyone else see them?

I see those one's just fine, but all the stuff on the picture thread has gone :(

another thing, you can't reply with a quote any more, or post a reply that has less than 10 characters!!!!

[Zero]

why won't the insert image let me browse like the old one - my whole schtick is based on silly monkey pictures - if i can't easily insert silly monkey pictures i'll have to go back to being His_Herald (and even that will suck because this stupid thing won't let me do all caps. . . change is bad. . . :mad:

[hitman3005]

test...

[hitman3005]

Pic Posting Worked For Me.

[bwind22]

Yeah, me too. I haven't had any issue with it at all.


The 10 character post minimum is kinda lame though. What if someone is voting for 'From Hell' or 'Gozu' or 'The Eye' in one of the tournaments or something?

[stygianwitch]

change is bad. . . :mad:

not when it comes to your avatar.... isn't that your 'angry' face.... we're the ones who've been wound up all week, put a happy smiley face there.... please......................... or i'll sharpen those toothpicks ;)

[Zero]

ok - some of you smart folks need to help the simian (hey, i'm a few millenia behind on the evolutionary ladder)

i want to post pics - but i don't want to have to put in the url thingy - i just want to browe through mypictures file (like i always did before) - click the happy monkey picture and share it with the world - can I still do this?

[hitman3005]

I had faith tha it was you coming back Zero!:cool:

[stygianwitch]

if this works... ha.... here's a happy monkey for ya :p



nope, didn't attach..... fucking upgrades :mad:

[bwind22]

1 thing I just noticed that's pretty sweet is this...

On the forum index pages, if you mouse over a topic without clicking, it will pop a little window and show you the first post. That could be a pretty good timesaving feature. I know I sure wouldn't have visited omcdave's 'Boobs' thread if that feature was around a couple days ago. :D

[hitman3005]

I put my pics into photobucket. Then post from there

[hitman3005]

lol THAT DAMN BOOB THREAD!

[bwind22]

I put my pics into photobucket. Then post from there

Me too for anything I wanna keep.

For the pictures I use in tournies though, I just hijack them off of whatever website is hosting them. :cool:

i just tried that buddy, the answer to your question is a big fat no:eek:

unless i'm doing something wrong..... fucking upgrades :p


*i'll get used to it... i'll get used to it...*

[_____V_____]

If you look below, you can see an "Attach Files" section under Additional Options.

Clicking on "Manage Attachments" takes you to a server error page though. I think it will be functional once the upgrade is complete. It will take some time though, so lets be patient.

[bwind22]

Yeah, Horror did mention that this is far from being done. I'm not sure who all is aware, but last night the forum was down for a couple hours and then it came back up with this new look & a message from Horror saying it was "still a work in progress, but at least we're able to post now" or something along those lines....

[_____V_____]

Right now it said "upload of dogsoldiers.jpg failed".

I think they are working on it as we speak...

[urgeok]

turning signatures off was a big help

all i care about is the post anyway

[stygianwitch]

damn thing just threw me out :(

i know they say patience is a virtue but can i have mine right now :rolleyes:

would have been nice if we'd been told about the upgrade before it happened, i'm sure we would all have agreed to:

a) stay away for a couple of hours while they did it

b) test it for glitches

instead of which, those who were online while the upgrade was going ahead had problems :eek: :eek: and the rest of us woke up to a site that only half works :mad:

[Zero]

why the change?

[The STE]

"He" ruined the old board as part of his plan.


I like that the signatures are not in the far right margin now

[ShankS]

I like that the signatures are not in the far right margin now


I quite like that too, looks better.



Holy shit the trouble I've had logging in to my account. I've smashed about two keyboards this afternoon in frustration. :mad: :D

[Disease]

I went to drop in this morning, (my time) and couldn't get in, I thought I was never going to be able to get in again, I freaked out and played space invaders instead

[urgeok]

why the change?


to prepare for HIS COMING !

[The Mothman]

we should have this forum be the kind that has several layouts you can choose from. this one is driving me off the wall. i hate it.

[crabapple]

This is a....icky poo poo design.





was not good idea

[The Flayed One]

I'm already used to it. I figured people would be happy that they can post pics in their sigs now.

Now, if we could only get that buy/sell/trade forum...

[ENTITY2000]

i don't like this at all!!!!!!!!:mad:



but i will have to live with it i guess:rolleyes:

[stygianwitch]

hurl poo nuts at it crabapple :D

[The Mothman]

. I figured people would be happy that they can post pics in their sigs now.

we can?
we have all these new gay rules. i cant post a message if it doesnt have more than 10 characters in it.

[BudMan]

I can't seem to log in as newb....WTF.......LETS SEE IF I CAN DO CAPITALS....NOW PICS..WTF

[ShankS]

Frustration and persistence pays off. Just keep trying now and again. Why the hell it got to me god knows, I'm just too fanatical about getting something to work.

[The Mothman]

light up those molotovs, its riot time.:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Haunted]

Hmmm... I can't decide if I want to be one of those people that riots because I've got nothing better to do or be the person that mysteriously appears selling hotdogs and beer.

[Haunted]

DOUBLE POSTING

Why in the fuck do we have to give a reason for editting our posts? I've been to forums like that before. Who really gives a good goddamn?

[The Mothman]

i hope they will let us use BB codes in our sigs again. gay. so gay.

[The_Return]

I actually prefer that. I usually add a little note whenever I edit anyway.

Edited

[The_Return]

Oh, and for the record I really have no problem with the new design. The 10 character thing is kind of annoying, but otherwise I actually like the new look.

It'll take some getting used to of course, but overall it's not too bad.

Look before you leap, grasshopper.

Check out the "Site Announcemnts" section...we were warned, but nobody noticed it.


PPS -

Haunted, I just tested it...you dont need to put anything in the box asking for a reason. It'll apply the changes anyway.

ahem.... posted at 23:50 last night :rolleyes:

We did some server upgrades tonight.
did = past tense, as in 'have done'

Sorry if it scared you when you visited the site and things looked stranger than usual.
Again, past tense, already done

no worries, i'm not gonna fall out with you over it, and i am slowly getting used to the new image, lol, once the upgrade is properly completed i'm sure we'll all be a lot happier :D

[crabapple]

Well, in all fairness, when "Day of the Dead" originally came out, I was annoyed by the font/lettering used for the opening credits. It looked like it was trying too hard to be modern and stylish, with the italics...

But you know, 10 years later I looked at those same credits and they looked fine.

I would like a hot dog and some beer, please. And some pretzels.....

[The_Return]

this makes threads like stream of conscienceness impossible.

...and that's just a crying shame [/scarcasim]

I'm cool with the new design as well. It will take some getting used to, as was stated. Once all of the kinks get worked out, all will be well in the land. As for the "edit" situation, if I need to explain my edit I will, otherwise, I may just put funny little absurditities in there instead. As you said, sometimes, one needs to explain why they've editted a post, but usually, I'll edit a post due to a typo, so that's when I'll use a smart-ass remark... just for funzies.

[JP500]

The new design dosen't bother me to much, but I like the old one better.

[The_Return]

One minor thing that does kind of bug me (and I already mentioned this in another thread)

:o

Does that smiley not look like he just got laid? Looks more smug/satisfied than embarassed...

[hammerfan]

Kinda looks like my ex when he was having an orgasm:eek: :D

[urgeok]

Yeah...this is kinda lame.

[DraculaInDallas]

This new format fucking BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: I'm to old for changes.
Whoever came up with this bright idea needs a foot in their ass :cool:

[slasherman]

ignore still works..

[bwind22]

I just discovered the 2nd element of this new layout that I don't like. We no longer are able to search the forums by keyword.

(The 1st is that people's post seem to run right in to their signatures. That line dividing the two needs to extend across the page.)

[bloodrayne]

I just discovered the 2nd element of this new layout that I don't like. We no longer are able to search the forums by keyword.

Yes you can...Dustin showed me how:rolleyes: ..Just right click on the search button, and choose 'open link' in the options


I suggest you guys try this with EVERY button that doesn't work...

[scaryminda15]

have a moment of silence in honor of the old days. (SILENCE). thank you. Go back to your busy lives. :) oh u bastards you can only have seven similes the insaness is growing someone help us for the love of all humanity. ;)

[scaryminda15]

:) :mad: :rolleyes: ;) :p

[scaryminda15]

that this site logs u off after a good long while why is that?:confused:

[Disease]

What I don't like is that you have to have a certain amount of characters in a post, I'm sure this wasn't the case before, It's happened to me twice in the last few days.

This didn't happen before did it? I;m starting to get confused and accept the new format, starting to forget, maybe it's just like dvd's and vhs, you can't tell the difference until you go back............

I swear, someone is remaking the Twilight Zone movie using HDC as a movie-set or something...grrrrr...:mad:

How is your feisty, wild, undomesticated, clawing, spitting, biting little kitty doing these days, still trying to feed on 'crabapple flesh' :D

Well, sometimes I call them Zombie Babies, and sometimes I call them Little Cutie Littles.

I've made a bunch of the little suckers, about forty of them by now. Here's a bunch of them all at once...
