The new engine may render faster but for some reason I get the feeling that the entire site has grown pretty sluggish. Sometimes when I click a button it takes ages before the site responds and every so often it doesn't respond at all and I get a page not found error... [huh]

But now the site is acting really quick.

I've opened another support ticket with the vbulletin folks.

Nathan -- I'm pretty sure you'll get it all worked out. I really appreciate the work you're doing here! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

BTW: I believe there should be some updates to the boolean search operators, right? Would be cool if you can post a list with the operators sometime. :)

Yeah, something's not right. Server load is too high. I might have to bring the board down for a bit to deal with it.

yeah, no-one wants to look like a stalker!

By the way...Foofoogal, your new lounge furniture looks great from your patio

Well, Mr. DragonAx. As I am from West Texas where we raised up with rattlesnakes and cactus I have lots of guns and 8 brothers and about 55 nephews and some pretty mean nieces also. lol

I think it'll take me a little while to get used to the visible tables, but that doesn't bother me - this time next week I doubt I'll remember what has changed. Not yet dabbled with the PM / Profile area, but that looks interesting. The biggest positive change for me, though, is the arrival of a multi-quote function. That will save a lot of time I previously spent cutting and pasting so as to reply to everything on which I wanted to comment in a thread within one post.

Thanks to those who do all the hard work behind the scenes to keep this running!

I noticed the little icon guy is gone when I bring the site up in the address bar of the browser. Not a big deal, but handy for finding the site in my bookmarks :)

Well, it's not exactly *right*, but it's here. This quick reply page seems to be going really slow.

I realize the layout is annoying, and feels crowded. Also the thread information images are overbearing, and feel like they dominate the page.

We're working on it. Give us some time, and make some recommendations here in this thread.

A few things right off:

1. The sidebar on the main page, each user can decide to hide that if they want. Click the double arrow on the far right, and it will disappear.
2. Some of the smileys from the old board aren't working correctly.
3. On the bottom-left of every page, you can change the theme/colors of the Lounge. The one called "Default" is black text on a white background. It's not pretty, but it works. Something better looking is in the works, though.

This is not a big thing, but whenever I click to the main page, it asks me to log in, even if I am already logged in. I can navigate around fine once I get away from the front page. Also when I do log in and it redirects me, it is still on the page prompting me to log in or register until I click to some other page.

Also, have the postcount titles changed? Because I don't remember being a Senior Member, and I couldn't find anything in the FAQ.

Also, is there a reason we can no longer have code in our signatures?

I do really like the upgrade.
