[OFFICIAL SOFTWARE UPGRADE] Help and Bug Thread

What's the [OP] after my name just under my avie on some threads? Am I the only one who sees it?

No, I saw it in the Coffee Shop. That feature is kinda cool. Maybe the first change I see that I actually like. So far the only one I have to say...

Id guess original poster.

Here's a little thing -- since the smilies changed, all previous smilies under vBulletin now look like " " which doesn't make much sense. Might there be a way to retroactively convert them to meaningfullness?

We'll get to smilies eventually...we're working on getting all the bugs out first

I want vbulletin back.

It identifies you as the OP of your own thread. So in the CS I see you as the OP and in FRS I see myself as the OP.

I like the new format, it is actually more user friendly.

I can see that there will be some growing pains, not surprising.

Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm an old dog set in my ways but I'm pretty used to the changes already. People will come along. Good job

Me too. I have a headache

It is too busy and reminds me of facebook.

Image missing usmbstick.jpg., background(?) and the overall look could get more colors, too much white boxes and some box outlines should be gray or something like that, too much white! that's racist!

change for the sake of change is absurd

Yes, if that was the only reason but it isn't. USMB was experiencing performance issues and having to shut down threads and there were Gateway errors locking everyone out. It was only going to get worse and the alternative upgrade in the same software platform was not stable.

So the owners and admins did their due diligence and found the best alternative software. Once you get used to it isn't all that different.

Please explain why. Help the site out by making us aware of what needs 'tweaking.'

I am completely and utterly lost.

So sad

Followers?

Is this Twitter?

Hover over your username for CP/Preferences (top right)

Let me know if you cannot embed video. You should be able to

When I hover my user name i get nothing.

When I post a new Youtube it has a [MEDIA] tag. That works. Already existing Youtube posts have an [eme] tag. That is not even a clickable link.

all your pm's are there. They are called conversations (check your inbox top right)

Forum Sections are all there as well. Same spot as before.

Yeah it's very hard to see what section is what -- not easy on the eyes at all.

Another thing about images --- resolution on at least avatars seems to have reduced drastically. I'm being told my berries are now blurred. I've heard of blueberries but blurberries weren't in the plan...
