vBulletin 3 "Gamma"

[Bboy]

In case you haven't noticed (!) :-\ I have upgraded the vBulletin installation here to the latest version, "Gamma"

One of the negative side effects of this release is that it's the first with all of the new style(s) and templates that will come standard with vBulletin 3. The bad part is that they are all completely new and incompatible with the previous templates - so for those of you using the photo grays and stealth templates we will have to re-build those for you. Sorry for the inconvenience.

On the plus side, the new vB3 template makes it much easier to add templates to the system and I am sure there will be some awesome 3rd party templates that we will try out.

In the short term though the new default style is (I think) beautiful. We will work on restoring the EA logo (in a color scheme that matches, hopefully).

Thanks for your understanding and of course this is a great thread to discuss style likes and dislikes.

THIS VERSION SUCKS!

edit : It just doesn't suck as bad now.

It's sucking even less now.

Wow. A harsh judgement. Care for a little more detail?

If you're running a high resolution monitor, you can go to your USER CP and select the style VB Grey. It'll fill the screen more and eliminate most of the annoying blue patterns. I'm still playing with it.

I also noticed that some of the smilies are now monochromatic. That's lovely...

Please to put it back the way it was for right now B.

Now.

Thank you.

I don't mind the change, in most respects. However, the #$%&*@ page no longer fits my screen, as it did before. Sure, sure, I know I can always change the resolution of my monitor, but then the type gets smaller.

Hopefully the Administrator can restore the resolution to what it was before, which displayed just right in 800 x 600. According to virtually every survey I've read, that particular resolution is the most widely-used.

Try it now.

That was MY fault.

1024x768 for me is not enough, therefore the new page was microscopic for me. I tweaked the WRONG template.

There is no way it was T.

We can't keep running the beta versions forever. People have to learn that nothing is always going to stay the same, its not always going to look like it used to look and they are going to have to get over it.

OK, let me rephrase that.

After 2 hours of exploration and disasters, let me just say that THE CONTROL PANEL SUCKS!

The BOARD itself is fine now, at least on a higher resolution screen.

If anyone is having problems with it fitting, PLEASE let me know!
