OMG what a horrible new design!
 
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 10-10-2006 05:36 AM

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

The Mothman 10-10-2006 05:39 AM

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 10-10-2006 05:45 AM

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 10-10-2006 05:49 AM

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 10-10-2006 05:55 AM

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 10-10-2006 05:55 AM

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 10-10-2006 05:58 AM

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 10-10-2006 06:00 AM

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

bwind22 10-10-2006 06:01 AM

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

hammerfan 10-10-2006 06:02 AM

:D :o

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

scaryminda15 10-10-2006 06:04 AM

lol ur right!

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

bwind - I just sent you a PM

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 10-10-2006 06:29 AM

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 10-10-2006 06:33 AM

Pic Posting Worked For Me.

bwind22 10-10-2006 06:36 AM

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?

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 10-10-2006 06:38 AM

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 10-10-2006 06:38 AM

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

stygianwitch 10-10-2006 06:39 AM

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



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

bwind22 10-10-2006 06:39 AM

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 10-10-2006 06:39 AM

I put my pics into photobucket. Then post from there

hitman3005 10-10-2006 06:39 AM

lol THAT DAMN BOOB THREAD!

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_____ 10-10-2006 06:45 AM

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 10-10-2006 06:47 AM

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_____ 10-10-2006 06:49 AM

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

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

urgeok 10-10-2006 06:53 AM

turning signatures off was a big help

all i care about is the post anyway

stygianwitch 10-10-2006 06:54 AM

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 10-10-2006 06:55 AM

why the change?

The STE 10-10-2006 06:57 AM

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


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 10-10-2006 07:02 AM

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
