It brings back memories of the good old days.
Couple problems though...The orange on the board looks more like the Texas Longhorns burnt orange than Bengal orange. Also, where are the smilies? I see the post icons ( I hope that is not the smiley collection we are getting), but no smilies.

yep, it's nice...we will have a couple bumps and bruises but you do with any change...all i know is it's a lot smoother than when we switched last time!!!!

I really like the new format, but, the times on the posts are really goofy, and the posts seem to be relatively old.
I am seeing a lot of post on the board today listed as 8/14/07??
Once I get used to the new format, I am sure it will be user friendly.

by the way...the buddy list is pretty cool.....you can add anyone to it then when you come on click on quick links at the top of the page and choose buddy list...it will open a small seperate window with all your buddy list people and let you know who is on etc.
just another cool feature with this software

that is because we started making the switch on 8-14 so those are all posts from then...any made after 8-14 did not come over.....so when the switch was made today people had to re make any topics they wanted in here again.

Just noticed that everyone is set to GMT by default instead of GMT -5. Might be nice to have that as a default... Instead of having to go into the CP to do it.

You need to change the way you view a post reply by going to CP. Then you will have acess to 11 smilies. I personally like the other board for the smilies better but this will do...plus...I really don't come here for those, they just tend to enhance my posts!
Just now setting up my Buddy List Joe...I will let you know what I think shortly.

Hopefully the mods can switch the post interface for everybody, cause I can see alot of people being confused, and that means alot of threads asking the same question of how to post smilies and pictures.
BTW...To any Mod, is this new board easier to add new smilies to? If so, can we get some of the smilies we had from the old Invision Board? :confused:

Another great option on the buddy list, is the ignore option... that way if you don't want to view troll's posts you can put them on the ignore list, and voila! Their posts are left out of the thread!!

Go to your User CP and then choose Options. Go to the bottom of the page and choose the WYSIWYG Editor. :D
