Latest version of vBulletin

[jimnyc]

The forum has been upgraded to the latest version of vBulletin, 4.0.5

There are many, many additions to this version, but it will be a work in progress. Almost all of the "add-ons" I have added over the past few years will not work with this version - we will need to re-add what we can as we go along.

If you miss something that used to be here - tell me in this thread.
If something isn't working, tell me here.
If you need help with anything, ask here.

This is new to me as well and we will all learn together, and I will do whatever necessary to add/remove things to our community to make everyone happy.

I like the new look...very professional....

[Mr. P]

Well..it's FUBAR for me.
Boxes everywhere below this reply box.
Smilies so small you can barely see them.
Additional Options box below that.
Topic Review box below that.
Posting Pref box last.

I know you hate these questions, but it's the only way I can address your issues - as I don't see all the problems you have. I do see the smilies as very small, but regular size if I click "more" to see all of them.

If you choose "reply", you'll just get a regular box to reply with. You'll need to click "go advanced" if you want all the fancy stuff.

What browser are you using? What version? Do you know what resolution you are viewing your screen with?

** You can DOUBLE CLICK on reply, or quote with reply, and it will go straight to the normal reply page... **

Better yet, I disabled quick reply and now it'll let you reply normally.

It's the same using quote as it is reply for me. Teenie
I don't have the advanced button anymore nor the box that used to let you play with the background.

Reply should give you an empty box to write in, "reply with quote" should obviously include the person you wish to quote. If I click on either reply option, I get the normal reply box with all the fancy WYSIWYG options above it and the smilies, albeit small, to the right of the box.

Can you answer the other questions so I can test a few things?

[jimnyc]

I increased the size of the box containing the smilies, which in turn allows the smilies themselves to be bigger. Let me know if that portion helps, or if they need to be decreased or increased more.

A bit better...but
This guy has his legs cut off.
,,,, are still very small and this one is almost invisible.

I have no problem with resolution or firefox anywhere on the net except here when "changes" are made.

The problem for me is that everything shows up OK on my end. I'll await feedback from everyone else to see if others see similar issues and what is different that is causing your issues.

Thus far I've tested on Firefox, IE, Opera and had my Dad test on his Mac. I've tested from 640x480 all the way up to 1280x720. No issues on this end other than the smilies were too small for me as well. The way they display them in this version is within an "invisible box", and it automatically tries to make all of them the same size for display purposes. If you click on "more" you will see every one and their correct sizes. I'll continue to look into the smilie box to see if we can make it better.

so far I like it.... very very bright though

[Monkeybone]

I like how it bring up more that what was just talked about in the threads, but i don't like how it takes it off when you reply to it

[Gaffer]

I won't complain until Jim is done tweaking and adjusting. Then I'll determine if there is really something to complain about. So far looks good. Just have to get use to where things are. Will be interesting to see what colors and background gets added. It is a bit bright at this time.
