Things will look odd for a while. Death with it.
Is this a Giants forum?
This is your mom's vagina forum.
So, yeah. Old theme didn't work very well with the new software. The old software was more out of date than Yeti's contributions to the hippos thread, so it had to be upgraded. All the blue will be gone by Monday.

Even that has more members than this place.
gay
ew. lol
There is still some minor stuff to be done, but nothing seems to be too broken right now. Best part is the new software has better anti-spam settings. Maybe now I won't have to delete 20 new accounts from Russian spammers every day.
I'm in the minority but I like the board better this way.
It was a little more blue earlier, but I think I've gotten rid of it all.
And now we have video embedding for the YouTube thread. It isn't perfect, but farg you.
I don't like the reply and stuff buttons...any way to change those back? And the ones at the top of the page (home, help, etc).
oh, and making the top banner clickable to the home page of the board?
Thanks for the time you put into run this piece dude. Even if its only to listen to us twats bitch about stuff.
I'll see what I can do about the banner, but the menus are probably going to stay. They're growing on me, but I may have to add a little color to them.
Eh. Like most things, just takes a little time to get used to change. Some things are nicer, others just different.
But yeah, the banner could def use some work. Either resize and stretch it to fit the entire width or just center it. Then on each side of the banner you could put a picture of David Simon and the cast of The Wire.
Oh, and what's up with this bright lime greed "loading" banner that flashes across the top of my screen whenever I want to modify a post?
I'm going to go with: it's a status bar that tells you the page is loading.

I like this idea
there are a bunch of things that are "cut off" looking, like the row of smilies when you go to post.
1. Smilies are for the gays. I thought that was established circa 2003.
2. You've been here over a decade. You telling me you don't have the smilie codes and other tags memorized yet? I don't remember the last time I actually hit the reply button.
3. Besides, you only use 1 smilie. What's so hard about typing colonrolleyes?
I like the new look. Very snazzy.
What browser are you using? It doesn't matter, because I'm not going to make any effort to pretty things up for specific browsers. Especially IE or Safari.
Its not just the smilies, other stuff is cut off like that too.
I use Firefox.
Check for updates and whitelist :CF on your ad blocker. If that doesn't help, send me a screenshot.
too bright.
Why is it asking for proof of citizenship everytime I log on?
Because you touch yourself.

I know that I've said numerous times over the years that I would gladly give GF a few bucks to keep this place running but I didn't really mean it.
Not that it probably matters to anyone, but I likes it alright.
Because I'm so empathetic, it matters to me buddy
I just noticed the More Stats (http://www.concretefield.info/forum/index.php?topic=21230.msg828819#new) link at the bottom of the board index page. Some pretty cool stuff going on in there. Especially this:
Male to Female Ratio: 15.9:1
Romes.
And this:

Nerds. I figured MDS would be at the top of the list but I guess starring in donkey shows takes up more time than I thought.
Not sure how accurate that is...only because CF is my home page and I'm checked to "stay logged in". So every time I bring up Firefox, CF comes up and I'm logged in. How does that work??
there is a timed limite between load/refresh. I don't know what it is. When you load the page it starts. If you load another :CF page (or refresh the same) before the timer runs out, your profile gets updated with that interval. Add all those up and you get the total time counted.
If you load a page and it sits there for 4 hours without activity you don't get 4 hours added to your profile.
I stay logged in as well. But I believe after 15 minutes of being idle, the board clock stops counting. So if you keep CF open in the background but walk away for 2 hours, it's not going to count 1:45 of that time.
How proud is Russell to be #2 on that list?
Previously unexplored depths of self loathing.
Would you feel better about yourself if you got to #1?
Fred's number is a joke, right?
havent been on much because of work but the site looks good. :yay
cool, thanks for explaining :)

holy shtein that's hilarious.
Does the figure take his hiatus into account? Didn't Big Brother adjust it as a joke one time?
I pay too much attention to you "people."
Thus is super gay

I call bullshtein.
You loathe yourself a lot more than you let on.
Well, it IS the greatest loathe of all...
anyone else having the board slowness issue?
You shouldn't talk about the people here like that.
Hey there. Looks like this is a free add-on. Any interest in incorporating it if it's free and easy? I know I'd use it because a lot of times I'll look at the site from my phone, but I'm not sure what the appetite would be otherwise. On the phone with the standard formatting, there's a lot of scrolling, pinching and zooming. But, hey, that's what I get for using a phone. That said, if this is a cheap and easy mobile solution, l'd be interested. I like my forums like I like my women...cheap and easy.

The Tapatalk app is free on GetJar, btw.
This is something we can do, and I'm looking at a few available options before I do anything.
Cool.
When you're logged in on a mobile device, everything should look the same, except for the logo up top. It still stretches out on phones, so I'll keep working on that.
It looks the same, just tiny because of the resolution...hence the zooming and scrolling. Not that big of a deal either way.
Everything still looks exactly the same on my phone as it did yesterday, including the banner.
Well it worked on my phone and tablet, so farg you. Trying a different mod and theme, it should work with more mobile devices now.
Yeah, now it looks crazy different on my phone and it seems harder/different to navigate the board.
I just noticed at the bottom of the page there is an option to switch back to the full site. Ahhhhh....much better.

yeah this new layout is weeeeird
Ahhhh, NOW it looks different. Cool.
I like it. Seems like it's zoomed out too far, because of the column size, but other than that it's very clean.
I still have no clue of what you hotties are talking about. Probably never will either.
I tried it but I'm so used to the old way I switched back.
Good work though GF.
I didn't use the old verson but I might use this.
If I'm stuck somewhere and the only other option sucks hard.
New mobile interface sucks. Old mobile interface sucks. Suck suck suck. Sucky suckity suck.
The new one at least loads a lot faster on my phone

Your miserable interface is refreshing. And sucky.
Agreed.
Omg this is awful. Put it back. Now.
No, you.
Is there a benefit of any sort to the mobile version? Faster load, less data transmitted or something?
Ease of use on a smaller screen. If you guys aren't happy with the look for the mobile version, suggest some alternatives (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/). I can only put up one theme for mobile stuff, so keep that in mind.
I prefer the normal version myself. The option is there for me to switch back to it, which I do, but it automatically reverts back to the mobile version after periods of inactivity from my phone so I just keep going back to the desktop version. Minor inconvenience.

Same and I prefer the normal version too.

I concur.
