SMF 2.0 upgrade

Meds · June 19, 2011, 02:42:46 PM

I really like this new look, its all silky and smooth. Big Thumbs up. I did notice when i opened up a spoiler tag from a old link I had to highlight the words to read them. This must be loads of hard work to do this kind of change.

I see that now too Meds about spoiler tags text color (I think it's doing it on new spoiler tags too). I'll see if I can fix that somehow. Glad you like the new look!

Ok - got the spoiler text color changed now. Made it red since I thought that made it look all secret and special!

[spoiler]Why are you reading this? Go see "Super 8" now![/spoiler]

The smileys are showing the same emotions as ones shown before, but these ones just look different. Just by a little :D

Funny that I never even knew that the spoiler tag was gone. Weird. :o

Odd.

I'm seeing Up/Down scroll bars alongside all posts with embedded emoticons!

Looking good!

Sounds like it's been a little hard work porting the forum over, are there any benefits to you as an administrator upgrading or is it just for cosmetic reasons?

Yes, there are benefits. The design (inside the admin area) is cleaner, but also more robust. They've been working on SMF 2.0 for years now and it has a lot of "under the hood" tweaks that make it run better. Also, there are more available mods and things for it too. The "looks" is just a new theme I'm using and have tweaked a little. So yeah, lots of pluses.

I get the following Javascript error when I load up[ the forum on IE9, look like it has to do with the news fader:

Hmmm, that's an odd one. I'll turn the news fader off for now until I can work on that.

I fear change, and realize I'm outvoted, but I liked the way it was before.

Hey...nothing wrong with having an opposing view! Heck I'm quite usually on the opposite side in many topics. It just happens that in this case I'm not. ;D
