Ah, it's a bit strange. I will miss the old one

In the game suggestions, is the F12/F11 rating gone? I don't see any stars

We will work on getting thread rating back.

Please put all requests and bug reports into the Forum News and Support section, not this thread.

In other news, we're back in the Internet Archive.  I don't know if their default behavior is to restore from backups once robots.txt allows it or whether ElephantHunter's e-mails made a difference, but Here it is

May take some getting used to(the looks, all so dull and plain) but it's a nice upgrade.

I was stunned when I first saw the new forums style, but It's really nice. Also, I hope that suprising forums address change was a lesson that won't have to be repeated.

Messed all my signature formatting. Thanks.

Also, it's a bit hard to notice at a glance which forums have new posts. Can we go back to the old color/monochrome system?

No changes will be made to little things right away.  We're going to wait a while and see how people adapt to the changes before we make changes just for the sake of undoing stuff, so keep the "but change is bad!" reactions to yourself ;)

Wait, does that mean you're going to revert to the old BBcode then? Reformatting my sig was a pain the the ass but the new way is a lot better I think.

Uh, I said we're not going to make changes for the sake of undoing stuff.  We're not going to the old BBCode.

Nothing in the BBCode actually should be different.  If your sig stopped working, odds are you did something wrong the first time that just happened to work properly.

Seems on my sig it doesn't require me to add ending tags when formatting text. In the old sig I did like
Code: [Select]
[size=9pt]text[/size]
however in the current one it seems to autocomplete the tag at the next space or something? I had to type
Code: [Select]
[/s]
[size=9pt]text [size=9pt]text2

Or is it that the new forum is more strict on how you nest formatting code?

Astounding, something changed. It will take me a few days to get used to, but I like it quite a bit.

After talking to Kazuki, I'm not sure if this is how it is supposed to be or if this is just a bug in this version of SMF.  We are on a beta version of SMF.  I will look around and try to figure out what the deal is.

For that matter, if anyone wants to look around http://simplemachines.org and see if there's any information on this, by all means please do.

Just for raising admin's spirits' sake: for me getting used to it is no problem, I've already did that.

I was correct in what I first said:  there was no change in the BBCode, it just more strictly requires proper BBCode now.
