Oh yeah...is it just me or is MercuryEngine no more? If so that sucks, I frequented there more than the main forum. Any chance of getting it back??:?

It should be back at MercuryEngine.com soon

I was starting to get nervous/pissed.

It's just like anything else...it takes time to get used to change. Concidering the extent of this change, I can see why some people are apprehensive.

I like it for the most part, although typing out posts is a little more of a pain than it used to be. It doesn't seem as straight forward as it used to...with all of the drop down boxes and such.

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Good to be back, but it will def take a little getting used to the new look/setup!

Cheers MN

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Thanks god a few of you guys seem to like the new look. Yesterday after we enabled the board again, the last messages I saw before I went to bed were all negative and it started to scare me.:o

Please try to give the new boad look a few days to get used to it...to be honest I was a bit shocked when I saw what Palmer had in mind but the template is growing on me since then. Besides this, this board is lightning fast now and you have one click access to the important forums and without all the layers and layers and sub-layers the site should be a lot more accessable now.

Next thing we will focus on is to bring the downloads back but this will take some time as we need to program and implement new scripts and tools so please bear with us.

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

I like it. The halloween colours are a bit odd, I agree. I probably would have stuck with blue (like the slick [mn] style) instead of orange highlights, but that's just my personal preference. The dark background is a million times easier on the eyes though, compared to staring at that lightbulb that was mercurynation. And the new forum layout is way better. Definetly a quirk I didn't like about the old forum was how long it took to get anywhere. On the heels of that, I also like the simplified forum jump scroll box. Looking forward to the rest of the changes.

I think it's kinda funny how you got rid of all the subnames for people to show how long they have been on the site. Now everyone seems to be a member or a senior member.

I changed that this morning and brought the old board ranks back. :wink:

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Is there any way you could add the the feature to change the board style?, I remember when the board had the white background, I was so used to that.

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

^^ I agree.

Another skin would be cool. You could change it from the UserControlPanel. phpBB had this option. Does the vbulleting have it?

..... And I am not saying you didn't do a good job palmer! Respect for the effort -> result!

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Some time ago we have used two different templates and people could choose which style they wanted (this was no php default option but actually an alternative template we installed) but it was a nightmare because every change we do on the board has to be implemented on every template and has to be tested with different browsers. I'll check out if using different styles is easier to manage on the vbulletin board but I can't promise that it will happen.

Time to get pissed again, Timmy boy. I hate the colors. After scrolling through this topic I was close to clicking that nice 'x' at the top.

The top image is dope though.

I'm all up for an alternate skin...

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Umm, wow... it's different. I'll reserve judgement until I'm used to it. Definitely faster and easier to find your way around though. Does writing in bold help?

Nice one guys

Re: WELCOME BACK FELLOW MS'ers

Still don't know why its such a big deal.... they are only colors.

My other theme was bright blue with bright red text which is going to get implemented asap
