The new forum sucks

This just gets worse and worse. The forums were just about the only thing keeping me subbed. And now they've made pretty much everything a PITA, for me at least.

Not only are they slower than a sloth now, they succeeded in making them ugly, clunky, removed features (name changing and easy quoting), and space-wasting.

The new forums are not bad. The change in handling of the login is not a plus as far as I can see.

Hmm... Sig Pics.

OOoo, I like the way the editor works. Pretty snazzy.

The thing is people, all the complainers here about the new forums need to stuff it and do some research. You got a problem with a specific part of the new forums? GOOGLE is your friend. Look for plug-ins and addons for the VB software thats now powering this site. Theres hundreds if not thousands of diffrent plug-ins and capabilities of this software for the convience of the users and the administration. So stop whining about it and make some suggestions on plug-ins and add-ons that you think will help make these forums as they should be.

How do you get your avatar back? Mine didn't transfer & for some reason when i try to "save changes" it doesn't load my avatar either. Can someone give me some guidance, please.

again, I reiterate seeing how everybody blew past my post.

Make a suggestion. Problem solved.

I find it a PITA that every time I hit the Back button, it takes me to the top of the last page. Makes it annoying to read multiple threads when you are having to scroll back down and find your place.

The old forums were much easier to navigate as it took you back to where you were on the last page.

Quick question for you GibberingLunatic. Is there a way to see what version of vBulletin these forums are on? I've been looking everywhere but I'm likely overlooking it.

TIA

I know it was complained about on the I13 Beta forums. Apparently several of the complaints fell on deaf ears.

From what I remember, it's something in how vBulletin is passing tags or something through the browser. But, since it's been so long and it wasn't an issue that overly concerned me, I don't recall the details.

Maybe someone with a better memory will come along to clear it up.

I got annoyed when I went to edit my sig and it said I couldn't use more than 5 lines in my sig -- ah well, I was able to get around it.

Maybe I'll replace with a sigpic, as that sounds cool.

It'll take some getting used to, but I'm ok with it.

D'oh, didn't think of viewing the source code.

And I knew someone would be along that could remember or explain what caused the Back button behavior much better than what I could remember from the I13 Beta discussion.

Thanks muchly.

I had a website a while back, http://www.youarefreakingdumb.com (no kidding) and it ran the VB software for its entire lifetime, so I have alot of experience with it.

I am not liking it yet. is there a way to expand the different main topics so we dont have to click the +

I hate the new forums with a passion. The thing is hard to read. It looks horrible too.

Forums should not look like this, they should be nive and easy to read.

HATE THEM!!!

As a matter of fact, expect me to post less, simply because it now takes too much effort to read things here.

There's no going back, but the least they can do is change themes...or give us the option to choose a different theme.

Am I the only one concerned about the removal of the "Show all posts" option? As it is now, it's a pain to click through 4 pages of posts when you could just line them up before.
