Awesome update guys! I didn't know where to put the: "nice job!" So here it goes. Thanks again! I should donate!
K thxMy point exactly.
And as to the original complaint of this thread - the forum has been up for a few hours and we're still tweaking things under the load of new users. There will be faster and slower times during the next few days.![]()
i also agree. i can't stop puking from the new theme, and i've straight up left forums before because the new format they switched it too was so unappealing. part of the reason why i came to BL the most was because the forum was so crisp looking, uncluttered, and the dark shade of blue was nice and easy on the eyes. the old BL literally had the perfect theme enabled.
i used to hate the way the opiophile forum looked, but as of now the opiophile forum looks better than this one.
sorry to dish out so much hate, but i honestly can't stand the way it looks now. everything is too "big" and cluttered now, and if you zoom out it's slightly too small.
please please please, do something about trying to get the old theme back, or the one that matches it the best. honestly i think the forum shouldn't have been updated at all, if that's the only option that allows us to get the way things back to where they used to be. something has to be done.
also that annoying yellow "auto saved" annoys the fuck out of me too when i'm thinking during my posts.
fuckin A... it's always a matter of time before a good forum tries to change something to "upgrade" it, that ultimately makes it unappealing and repulsive. i loathe the new look so much i'll definitely not be stopping by as often.

I'm on a mobile and saw you're still working on the skin. The device worked w/o skin before, but now I repeatedly get error messages - 'insufficient memory', 'malformed url' - I can go virtually nowhere. It will be a miracle if I can get this to post. I can log in, but am told 'you are not logged in' when attempting to read and post. My trusty CP is missimg, too.( Anyway, you've gotta be swamped with Qs. Whenever you get a chance to respond, any help you can would be much appreciated!

Ugly as sin and slow, too.
WTF?
The mind boggles 8(
The old setup wasn't broke
Why fix it?
I wasn't around very much, and this is really likely to make me come around even less.
Sad day for the forum.
The alleged "improvements" listed on the front page aren't much either, given the disadvantages.
Just because a allegedly slick but actually quite hideous Web 2.0-ish update existed from vBulletin doesn't mean it should have been actually implemented ... much less it was actually paid for? Sickening and makes me regret having donated money. I hope that the response is quick and swift and we get our old forum back.

So you think that they should accommodate the way that bluelight looks, because you have a shitty little computer? Guess what? Not everyone has a 2 dollar computer they got in a happy meal from mcdonalds.
TALLY 2.0 said:I like the theme. The only things I dont like is that yall took away the shortcuts at the bottom of the screen. Now I have to scrool back to the top to get out of the thread.
chinky said:also im not feeling the timestamp at the top of every post, like its part of the post...put it back to the corner above our names like the old ones...theres space for it
I'd just like to say firstly thank you very much to the high eschalons of the Bluelight staff for all the hard work they put in upgrading Bluelight
I have noticed that the text is a bit wonky is some places. Like this:

Its hard to even respond to a message like this - you obviously know nothing about the "setup" we had before nor the "setup" we have now. We were running an old, out of date version of vBulletin (among other things) and the upgrade was absolutely necessary to ensure the security of the site and its members. There was a lot that was "broke" and a lot that is now fixed.
^this...Survived Abortion said:You've got it wrong though I believe, things should actually be catered to people with the least power under their hood. It's actually a case of "not everone has a core Sandy Bridge with 4GB of DDR3 2113mhz RAM and an SSD hard drive". I don't believe people should be left in the dust because they are working on netbooks and other smaller devices, especially with a forum such as this where accessibility is key.
