Forum Upgrades

[xr8d302]

Just reading all these posts....I'll get flamed for this...but simply put, be patient people. It seems that Mike and his people are trying to improve the site, and if there's a week or so of squinting to look at the tech that you all love, then put up with it....

I don't normally post on these update/news threads, but I am in a minority and wanted to address one issue that some might not be aware of (or probably care about. LOL). As one of the few Dial-up users, the load speed has really gone down with this new format. I know DU users are not a large demographic, but are there any tricks to speed it up (on my end or otherwise)?

BTW, I tried Greymoon last night (I think that is what it is called) and me likey.

Congrats on the improvements Herr Raburn!

Since the upgrade here is what I get, is there anything I can do to improve on this?

 

[MRaburn]

Hotrod,

That is strange... All images are pulled from www.stangnet.com. Is that sight blocked for you?

Hotrod,

Yes, that is the case I am blocked from www.stangnet.com. I have been able to get around that though and get to the forums because that link has "forums" in front of it.

 

[MRaburn]

Hmmm, OK lemme think on that one. I will be having a light version added today and could prob use that one instead.

One other detail that may be worth mention:

It seems that half of the emoticons are either x'd out or are fuzzy little squares of static. They're not all displaying.

Edit: Oooops, I see that I'm a little late with the post. My display is not near as severe as the one shown two posts ago though.

 

[MRaburn]

No problems guys, thanks for pointing out you issues, I am working to resolve most today.

 

[hotrodnut]

Ok MRaburn, here is how it looks when I switch to the new "TheFastDial" setting. There are still a few things that show up with red x's but for the most part it's 99.9% better! Thanks!

 

[mity2]

i get many Red X too.... we should have kept Old blue moon until all these issues were taken care off IMO

 

[MRaburn]

There was no way to keep the old styles with the upgrade. You should not be getting red Xs as long as www.stangnet.com is allowed on the network.

what do u mean "allowed" i can go to stangnet.com, andeverything comes up fine. No red x or error. taht means its allowed right?

The red x i'm getting is only the smilies.



Edit - never miond. its working now... i still can't load animated avater tho

Thanks MRaburn for upgrading the site, it looks good.

I have one question, are the Garages gone or will those be coming back?

 

[MRaburn]

Yea I need to add the garage back in the system, I will check with the developer and see there is an update.

Smileys should be fixed.

Mike

 

[super302]

can't upload animated avitars

 

[88 Fox GT]

Yes, just checked out the new "Darkplanet" skin. I love it! Great job!

Posting and editing is working perfect now. Immediate post with no load screen inbetween. So much better.

EDIT: MRaburn, any plans on adding more smillies?

 

[Blue Blurr]

ahhh Dark planet is pretty sweet.

 

[Ernad]

Dial ROCKS!
