  • it was so much cooler and simple to use :(

    :( :( :(

  • Vanilla rocks for usability.

  • live in the now dude

  • it was so much cooler and simple to use :(

    :( :( :(

    VB will have it ship shape and easy to use in no time. :) :) :) :)

  • Know what you mean

    Plus had to re-invent myself too

  • Ugh... sorry, this is awful.

  • The show new threads link makes it jsut like the old one.

  • Give me a week or so.

    Vanilla was a usability dream, but it was also bug-ridden and I needed over 30 extensions to make it as good as it was (did you compare our Vanilla over others? Ours rocked).

    vBulletin solves a hell of a lot of bugs, it's faster and can scale better.

    Vanilla was simple and easy, but it also was causing problems with how things were running.

    Just give me a couple of weeks to bed this one in. I'm still making tons of changes as I go along and you'll see stuff changing all the time.

  • Could be worse.... you could be stabbed.

  • i trust you vb.
    i trust you.

  • Once you get used to using this it is far mor advanced than the old one.
    Just takes a bit of getting used to

  • new stuff sucks thats why i have a telephone with a bell in at home no mobile phone no flat screen tv no laptop no internet connection can't we just stay in the 1980's when bikes were bikes and men were men and the computer was a big whirring thing filling a room with tape reels and flashing lights and three people to control it ah the good old days
    BRING BACK THE OLD FORUM ? or could we have a parrallel old style forum running along side the new forum !

  • but we do have private messages now. better than whispers.

  • it was so much cooler and simple to use :(

    :( :( :(

    Me too i feel lost....

  • I'm getting use to it

  • Yeah. Lets stop giving VB a hard time.

    I treat forums like Xmas parties, I would never organise one myself, so I don't turn up and complain about other people who have done all the work.

    Give it a couple of weeks, and I'm sure the forum will be rocking harder than The Stooges circa Raw Power.

  • Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with how its looking already, using the "View new posts" button actually is pretty similar, nothing like the sprawling mess it could be.

    Props to VB.

  • it could do with some mod_rewrite goodness to make all the old links/bookmarks work...

  • theres too many buttons.
    but i have faith, in time...

  • it could do with some mod_rewrite goodness to make all the old links/bookmarks work...

    That's coming.

    I've stored all of the old discussion ID's and I am going to write a script (probably tomorrow) that maps old links to new ones.

  • I don't mind it, getting used to it already... Nice one VB... :)

  • I know it's going to be better in the long run, but right now I don't like it either...

  • change is scary, but if it saves VB time and effort it's got to be a winner.

  • I liked how you could see all posts in all categories on one screen in the old one. Can you do that in the new one?
