I am quite happy with the admins work. The thread tools and search pop-ups work! And multi-quote is nifty, and quotes link back to thier original post. I think putting words in other peoples mouths is going to be harder.

More minorly, the boxes that surround post are back.

haven't used the multiquote thing yet, but its a good idea, and the quote linking back to the original post is brilliant. the post editing thing is also easier, and the whole forum seems quicker to load and much smoother. yay! :)
the seach-in-thread thing now working is also great cos that annoyed the shit out of me before :P

bad things are i don't like the grey background of this text box (for typing posts), and the menu of User CP, FAQ, Memers List, etc being below where it used to be is weird. i liked the little buttons we had for that before.
i also don't like that there's now only one reply button in threads (on the left rather than on both sides), and i don't like the boxyness cos it looks like it did, uh... a long time ago and doesn't look so modern/clean now.

but generally *thumbs up*

I like the boxiness. Prevents the posts from running together.


The grey does suck.

i liked that... kinda. just getting used to it now i guess. it used to be black framed like this back in the day so it feels like going backwards is all

and i like the grey! why does everyone hate it so much? :-(

eh? not quite sure what you mean - they're still here for me now, and they were definitely around about a year or more ago (i have saved posts from then that are just like the way it looks again now)

ahhh ok good :)

I remeber the boxes, but I know that they stopped showing up. At first I though it was due to switching to firefox, but the didn't work in IE either.

Somehow has less contrast than the black did.
