I'm liking the looks of the new forum. I haven't got all the navigation figured out yet but I like what I see so far. I'm not too sure about the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" feature :eek: though. It seems quite a bit snappier speed wise compared to the older version too.

I know you guys have busted your humps to make this happen and I just want to say THANKS!

Yup, getting better and better. We're going through stuff now and testing the last of the user settings. Everything is pretty good at this point. This is some very powerful software and a great forum with lots of features for the users and administrators.

I've spent most of a year messing with this package, and am *still* finding settings and functions. Like Oskaar says, its powerful. There are a *lot* of add-ons, and you'll see them coming online over the next couple weeks as I work out the kinks. :rolleyes:

Unread Posts

I notice it shows which forum has unread posts by the icon next to it, but is it still possible to see all unread posts in one screen? And if so, where is the option located?

Cheers,
Wrathwilde

Great stuff! But it was the longest day EVER -- starting a new batch without the infinite wisdom of the GotMeaders!

I am not sure if DNS is setup properly for the gotmead.com domain.

If you try and type in gotmead.com in a web browser its trying to resolve to www.gotmead.com.com

I have seen this before and was wondering if the DNS zones are setup properly.

Working on it....the smileys we had in the old software were an add-on for that specific package, so I have to do something similar here. I'll put it on the list of tweaks to do as I fine-tune this thing....

Well I haven't found "it" yet Vicks, the colour theme option that is.....

Cos compared to the old scheme, damn that green is bright!

Apart from that, well done. It looks like the same software that's used on a couple of other forums I post at.

LOL Green is the GM color so learn to love and embrace it LOL

We'll be fine tuning so there will be some changes that are noticable and others that will be un-noticable to the end user.

Got Mead Green, get it, rent it, watch it, live it!

I'm on board now, the new site looks really great -- it'll be fun tooling around and getting to know it.

I'm voting for GotMead green -- looks great to me!

Thanks Vicky and Pete for all your hard work. You guys are great!

other forums that I go to that use vbulletin, enable the feature where you can change the default color scheme to another preset one. I'm sure that's not at the top of the list.

Vbulletin is the best forum software made, in my opinion. But there are an awful lot of settings/permissions.
