Seriously, WHO IS THAT.

Edit: Oh, and I'm down with whatever. I won't say "wiggles" because it bothers me.

I'M SCARED!

Well, at least try and make it look as similar as possible to the way it was before then.

Message me on aim if you want me to skin it synth/LD/whatever.

Skinning VB is the easiest fucking thing to do ever

Re: phpBB vs Vbulletin

I post on vb on a few other sites. (mtgsalvation) I like phpbb a bit better because it is easier to seperate stickies from actual threads and stuff.

Re: phpBB vs Vbulletin

Ok. I'm not going to sugarcoat this. I think this change sucks. It really does. First off, only 3 images per post? Do you know how badly this ****s some posts up? Not only in the brag board, but in the Simulator Files board, where people had all of their simfiles in the first post of the topic, with pictures of their banners in the first post? And in the postwhoring department, now that you can't edit that first post in with new scores, because it'll probably be more than 3, it's going to be a MAJOR pain in the ass to have to post each and every time you get a new score.

Security holes? Since when was FFR ever attacked? Since when were any of these "security holes" ever exploited? If the forums were ever brought down by hackers, yeah i could understand the switch, but they've been around for over 2 years and you make a change? Come on now.

I also don't like how it just doesn't feel integrated. With PhpBB, it just felt like it was all one site, and that it wasn't the site, and the seperate forums, like it feels now. Is there a link/frame to get back to the main site like there used to be? Not that i can see.

I like how all the sites are upgrading their forums
Zaghurim säger:
And the upgrades are all bull
Zaghurim säger:
Browsing the FFR forums now is like licking a pile of fermented pus
Zaghurim säger:
SMO forums won't even let me log in anymore so those are even worse
Hr2 säger:
Yeah new FFR forum is so hard to navigate wtf
Hr2 säger:
the old one was awesome
Zaghurim säger:
Yeah. And I especially hate the "sup 4 imgz onle" thing

As for the images, we can obviously change that.

As for security, we were being exploited to send out spam up until the second we shut of PNphpBB. Sorry if we'd rather not have our server taken advantage of.

As far as site integration, we're working on it, give us time please. It's been what, three days? You'll adjust.

Re: phpBB vs Vbulletin

I think a theme which mimmicks the old style would appease many people.

Just make it non-default.

Then, make the default one kick so much ass that they'd have to be stupid to use the PHP looking skin.

Hey, what about that time all the boards were deleted except for a single one, with a title proclaiming the hacker's leet skillz?

Yeah. I'm pretty sure this happened more than once, too.

Re: phpBB vs Vbulletin

I say that if the interface was made better (something that separates the stickies from the other threads, PLEASE), the current vBulletin board would be better. Well, better in every way. Personally I prefer vBulletin in general.

*Edit* Screw what I said, this actually has an easy to use User CP, I'm all for this one 110%.
