Marked 197 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 Hey everyone, Welcome to the new RMXP Unlimited. The forum has been upgraded and been reskinned, something that has not happened in about a year and a half. This upgrade has been some time in the making, and rather tricky to achieve with our more-than-faulty database. However things went fine, thankfully, because I did not have backup plan if it didn't work. With this upgrade I am hopeful that our database is back up to standard, meaning no more lag. I hope everyone likes the new features, there's a ton. But I have a large feeling that errors and bugs will outweigh new features, until I get to them at least. I would like everyone to report any errors/bugs/anything out the ordinary either in this topic or in a PM to me. The skin is a temporary one. However, would you guys like it permanently? Also the bridge between website and forum has been broken. I will attempt a re-bridge once we need it. At the moment there is no account-orientated features of the website. Feel free to bombard this topic with errors, lets get this upgrade completed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nisage 31 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 Looks good, I kind of liked the old skin for the forum, but let's wait for that. No errors to report right now, everything seems ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey 9 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 *signs on after waking up to check on things* Hey guys, how's it go-what the heck happened?! XD (my actual thoughts, lol) I dunno what to say, I guess I'm gonna have to agree with Nisage, I'm used to the older one, but whatever. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 OH MY GOD! I love it! Its so awesome! :) I clicked my link to my profile and saw the new design and thought I went someplace else, but I didn't. Soooo cool! EDIT: I have one slight problem on my profile. Where the RPG level is, its kinda going out of box...just a bit though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formlesstree4 18 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 I like the new skin Marked!!! It looks really good :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nisage 31 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 So you have to re-make the spoilers? That'll be a pain to do. Also, there is something missing. Can't see who's birthday it is, if it is anyone's birthday that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 Yeah, you do. But the button for the codes are the on top left. :) Yeah Marked, its great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief 30 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 did you upgrade to IPB 3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 The forums as still great, which ever version he used. Does IBP cost money to have? Or at least the version this forum is using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rgangsta 43 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 The new kin is awesome. And I'm loving no lag. :P I thought I was the only one lagging because when I used Firefox, it didn't lag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 I had lag before also. I'm still using Firefox and it seems to be working greatly now! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wyzrd 12 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 I love the new skin. I really don't see to many problems with it yet. On the profile as Crimson said, The Previous fields box is extending outside of its box. The Spoilers need to be re-done, no big issue. Actually I just noticed I have to re-do the images in my sig. But still no big deal. And Crimson, yes IPB cost money. I used to run one, then I switched over to vB. But either way they both cost money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 That's the only problem I noticed; the profile. But that doesn't really matter. (Yes, I'm desperate to keep the new look ^^) Whaa? I really wanted to start a forum using IPB....I remember seeing it for free before *sigh* I guess I should just use this site... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nisage 31 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 Maybe for the first few days it's free. But anyway, I haven't seen any errors, I like how when I went to edit a post, it scrolled up and opened the Editor thing. Nice :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But anyway, I haven't seen any errors, I like how when I went to edit a post, it scrolled up and opened the Editor thing. Nice :) IPB is not free under no circumstances, UNLESS, you can find a site where they have servers set up with IPB, where as that site has bought a server license from IPB. But from past experince, those suck. You don't have as much control over them. As far as the MyBB, that I have never used but I can't imagine it being hard at all.

CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 @Niage: I like the editor as well! So usefull! I like this kind of forum better than vB...for some strange reason lol I get a trial, that's all >.< @Wyrzd: MyBB is basically like Zetaboards or Invisionfree, if you've ever used that. But they come very, very close to vB and this for free :) @Marked: We won't be switching back....will we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wyzrd 12 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 Yea I know what Mybb is, I just never used it. I have used Zeta and IF too in the past. IPB is good for professional sites like this one. vB is a little more open in my opinion, you can do more with it. As far as the editor thing. It's always opened like that. o_O that's nothing new. @Marked, I like how this new look has the Mod tools at the top of the skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 We're talking about how it scrolls upward and stuff.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LovePhoenix 3 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 I must admit I didn't see this coming, but I like the new change. It looks more organized and styled. The old one was rather classic and boring. It'll take me some time to get used to things since I am used to the old one but I'll get it nevertheless. ^^ Also the best thing about this is that now I can scroll side-ways. It was irritating me at first that I couldn't. D: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nisage 31 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 Question, how do we find out who posted what in where? There was a button that said "View New Posts" before the upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 Its the box on the homepage. It shows you all the active threads and who posted in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nisage 31 Report post Posted August 23, 2009 Or you can go all the way to the bottom of the Forums oage, and click on "Today's active content" :P Just found that out a while ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
