erghhhh
layout looks sleeker, sort of, but it doesnt feel right having to scroll down to reach the other topics... the sizes dont scale... I liked that more compact look it once had...

Hooray for vb3! I have some custom addons and stuff ready to go (eg; galaga shields, miscellaneous added-in user options) for vb3 if you want them. Just send me a PM or message cka on IRC.

edit - in fact I'm pretty proficient with vB3 all-around, from running it at TNL for the past year or so. If you need my help on anything vb-related don't hesitate to ask.

Everything looks good so far. I'm guessing you guys are fixing the premium stuff now.

Looks nice, I like the new templates.

Edit: I miss the forum jump tool, that used to be convenient.

well well well...
just yesterday I was struggling with this site... suddenly... as if being engulfed in magical light... it reawakens as its stronger self...











...or not= (:p)

I like the new 'edit' 'reply' and 'quote' tabs!!

i like the quick reply though :D

Hmmm...looks good I guess, I'll eventually get used to it.

I'm not digging those 'quote, reply, new thread' buttons.

EDIT: We have to scroll all the way down to do forum jump. :(

HellMUT
08-15-2004, 10:20 PM
what are these green rectangles under our locations? when your cursor is over them it says something like 'name is off the scale'

TS
08-15-2004, 10:25 PM
Glad other posters like the changes. On a related note, I've noticed we seemed to have quite a few visitors to the forum, possibly because of links to the Daigo vid (ie a topic with 12 posts and 937 views). Was increased traffic a reason for the change, or is it just a style thing?

Not too bad, the reply options are nice. The "report bad post" feature is going to be heavily abused by idiots.

The layout looks cheap like a proboards or the default phpbb skin *yuck* it all looks untidy aswell and whats with the whiteness? Everything is in white its horrid. The old skin was alot better it was class. Even the signitures in text are white so it looks like a post but its their sig :lame: get the old skin back if I was you

IronFist

I agree with @-('.'Q). And i liked the fact that the forum was integrated in the site, now it is seperated. :(

Drunken Master
08-16-2004, 02:27 AM
Everyone's sig is now HUGE again.. and same color/size of post. :/

..and I hope search isn't disabled permanently. I know it sucks, but you need search.

Richard
08-16-2004, 02:49 AM
Yay. I like how you can actually SEE the links now...

And the clickable AIM is a great addition. And I love the OPTGROUPS...

One thing though: Can we have Wingdings on the font list so that we can do joystick move directions? çíêîèìé Or else maybe you could finally put them in as smilies (http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=53871)?

And how about a favicon?

Wow so thats why the site was down. The new layout is sleak but it will take some time to get used to it :)

Broohaha
08-16-2004, 06:32 AM
i like it :)

but yeah, work on the pixels around the smilies. and while you're at it, get some cooler smilies in here. these look like vintage 1994 ;)

xDarKnighTx
08-16-2004, 07:47 AM
this new style is ok, but there are still some weird stuff here and there. if the thread goes to like 100 pages, the page number links just keeps on going right, instead of wrapping around like it used to. quick reply is nice, but those quote, edit, and reply buttons are too big. and we really need new smileys, with some extras like arcade buttons and directions, the thing richard mentions.

YahnV
08-16-2004, 07:50 AM
What happened to the profile button?

NemoDC
08-16-2004, 01:48 PM
this new version of the forums is wack. the layout looks really fruity . when i try to navigate the threads and topics it feels like i'm trudging through molasses, mad clunky. all this server nonsense for a lame upgrade. this reminds me of when they had the new Ghostbusters and the new Ninja Turtles. it just isn't the same. peace.

Jaldaboath
08-16-2004, 04:53 PM
I kinda like it, specially the reply/quote buttons, but I think font is just to big and sigs are plainly wrong.

Snowman
08-16-2004, 04:54 PM
What happened to the profile button?
Click on your name or avatar. VB3 does things alittle differently compared to VB2.

Jaldaboath
08-16-2004, 05:01 PM
BTW: look at my sig

Edit is fucked up. It won't allow me edition just deletion.

Isn't 240 secs between posts a bit too much?

Snowman
08-16-2004, 05:07 PM
it stops mass spamming sessions.
Your edit doesn't allow editing? Thats weird.

Jaldaboath
08-16-2004, 05:16 PM
I actually noticed the 240 thing while posting in different forums, but if it helps I 'm up to it.

And do, I can't edit. Was the sigs code changed? Or is it just that the forum hates me.

I do like the profile/Av, it's quite a clean thing.

Mr. Sakuraba
08-16-2004, 05:20 PM
gj keep it up

Snowman
08-16-2004, 05:21 PM
What can't you edit about it? The sig itself?
That should be easily changable in the User CP > Edit Signature section.

Jaldaboath
08-16-2004, 05:23 PM
No, not my sig, my post. I don't get the option to edit my post.

I edited my sig, but URL tags ain't working for me; even using the textbox options for url makes my sig show the tags, and thus, not working.

Snowman
08-16-2004, 05:27 PM
There isn't a button called "EDIT" at the bottom right hand side of each post? Its quite large a clearly visible. People have been complaining about the size of it.

Jaldaboath
08-16-2004, 05:38 PM
Yeah, It's there, the problem is that *after* clicking it I cannot edit my post. I only get the option for deleting it. ¿?

Snowman
08-16-2004, 05:48 PM
Seems like a strange error. Perhaps ask a mod to take a look?
That shouldn't happen all the time, it shouldn't happen at all.

08-16-2004, 06:01 PM
I'll wait 'till tomorrow, they must be busy as hell. And it's not that bad.

RowJoe
08-16-2004, 06:26 PM
I get that "Server is too busy" shit all the time time now. Oh well, the new look is nice, but I think I still prefer the old look. It was simple and it worked very well. Other than that error, though, you guys did this pretty quickly, so good job.

oh dude, don't get me wrong. i love SRK. i'm not bashing it or whatnot, i'm just wondering. that's all

if you give me an apprx time on how long it'll take for everything to be done, that'll be cool.. if you tell me to go fuck off, that'll be cool too. i just look at it as... if it weren't for SRK, i would be a SHIT SF player... now i'm just a FART... no longer a shit.

08-16-2004, 07:46 PM
Give the guys another day or two and the forums should be fine. Once everything is set to go, SRK will get a lot better.

08-16-2004, 07:55 PM
The new layout looks GREAT at 1600x1200 resolution. Buttons aren't too big and it fills up the whole page. My only complaint is the "Hot topic with new posts" icon and the "You have posted in this thread" icon are WAAAAYYY too similar. I keep clicking on all these threads thinking I have posted in them and I can't remember.

HellMUT
08-17-2004, 02:34 AM

Yeah, it's the perfect time to put the joystick stuff in (as if you hadn't guessed). And if you're going redesign, then how about 15x15 pixels and in PNG format? It's a smaller size than gif and can look better. Actually, PNG format for avatars would be good as well...

send me a email with the joystick url smileys and ill add them. also if anyone else has smileys they want considered, email NOT pm me at mrwizard@shoryuken.com and ill take a look.

I have a question (and maybe complaint). Where do I go to change the skin of the forum. I found this the other day and it seems to be missing. Not sure if it is missing or if I can find it again :p The black on dark blue is horrible to try and read unless highlighting every post.

Richard
08-17-2004, 12:39 PM
^ what's everybody talking about black text for? I get white text on all my browsers (Linux Mozilla, Win Firebird, Win Amaya). And checking the css, it looks like that's what it's meant to be. Is that some kind of bug with IE?

Wizard: I just sent you an email...

hadoken king
08-17-2004, 02:34 PM
go to

TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > COLORS > and make sure "use windows colors" is checked

another thing... is there another way that you can make it show posts you've posted in?

i look at those little yellow things, but they mean two different things.

thanks

Dang, I miss the nice border that the old layout had. I think that’s why everything looks weird. By the way I had a thread "obot64.com the thread 2.0: that’s disappeared.... any body know why?

Revolver
08-17-2004, 06:25 PM
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet or not, but I have a problem with the super-small character limit in the signature. 100 characters?! That's like only 2 lines of text! Please increase it to about 1,000. My current signature is only large because it was already here before the upgrade.

Obot64.com
08-17-2004, 06:27 PM
I herd they upped the avatar size..... I guess it balances the smaller sig size...

Revolver
08-17-2004, 06:39 PM
Whatever! Like they can't have both! Oh no, a couple hundred more characters for the sigs! Yeah, takes up SO much room!

Richard
08-18-2004, 06:41 AM
go to
TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS
I don't have that menu. But anyway, why would I want illegible black text on a dark blue background? My software doesn't need fixing- I'm happy with white (which as I said, looks like it was intended anyway)

I have a problem with the super-small character limit in the signature. 100 characters?! That's like only 2 lines of text! Please increase it to about 1,000
Why would I want to read your 20-line signature all the time? Feel lucky it's not 50 characters like some boards. If you wouldn't consider writing it out by hand on a letter, then you shouldn't be including it here. How long is your actual name, anyway?

=dave=
08-18-2004, 08:15 AM
I didnt see anything wrong with the old forum (graphically speaking) though it is nice to see something different at srk. I'll be looking forward to seeing what forum structure/policy changes and content changes will be made to srk down the road.

Accesskeys!

Just press Alt+S on the keyboard to send your message.
Just Press Alt+1 to go to the board homepage.
Just Press Alt+2 for new posts
Just Press Alt+4 for immediate Search...

No more reaching around for my mouse. Excellent job guys.
