Your postage© was of Significance , but only if applied to the dimensions©®™ of a postage stamp.

That is not all.

OR©®™ is it?

Yeah ??? I noticed we were all down, I think I lost 100-200.
But you were posting like a man posessed. No fucking justice I tell ya !!!

Good posts too, caused many beer snortles.

I feel your pain.

Simple Solution #1: hang out more often.

Solution #2: reattach Hitchworld and merge The Dump threads as the placeholders they always wuz.

- notice I didn't say #2 was simple, however there are four Dumpmeister mods to do the job. So we need to hire four more to the tune of eight total to get 'er done.

Maybe it's just my 40 year old eyes starting to go, but perhaps the default font size could be a bit bigger? Maybe a "3" or a "4" perhaps?

4 is pretty big. I believe that is what I used in my sig. If you are using Internet Explorer you can change the font size permanently on your computer so you see everything larger wherever you go. Go under View and change text size. I don't see that option on Firefox.

[fryingdutchman]

I hear ya Northern. Prob is that making that change results in REALLY big text at every other website I visit.

Not sure what it is with the redesign here at the Army, but the text just looks really small. Maybe it's the black on white contrast drawing my attention to it more than usual.

4 is a bit large, but I think a 3 would do the trick as the default size.\

Regardless, it's exciting to see all of the new designs and other changes coming down!!

Keep it up, Webbies! You're doing an outstanding job.

it's annoying to read white on black...

[Panamark]

Do you find black on white better Natra ?
Or perhaps black on grey ?
We are all just pissin around here as this place will look even more different
over the coming weeks... I love black as the dominant background, but would
prefer a black on white/grey type deal for the actual posts....
Much like this box I am typing into now ? lol...

I'm with Natra on the colors. Black on white, white on black...it may be too much contrast.

I don't want to make too many critiques though, because I know it's not nearly done yet.

But something a little less "harsh" would be helpful Markie. And if y'all don't increase the default font size bigger than what I'm typing now, would you consider setting bold type as the default?

Oh..and what happened to the "custom titles" that used to show up under the user names?

[Panamark]

Actually the astute observers will notice the little things reappearing
day by day... Im sure the custom title is not far away
Look we got so far behind theres a lot of bridging to do to get what
we want, it will be worth it once completed. Its been a lot of work
for Sarge, Conmee and Mr Vbulletin thus far... I cant take any
credit other than some $$$ support, I suck at Database stuff....
I can write applications, but at this point that aint helping nobody..
So sit back Roth n Roll Champions, its unfolding right in front of
your naked steaming eyes !!

[Panamark]

The speed of the place is something that has really improved after
the second wave of tinkering. Anyone else noticing that ??

[ELVIS]

Mais oui !!

[Cato]

where's your body ELVIS?

[ELVIS]

It's too fat to keep up...

[Anonymous]

Really?

I always figured that it was your HEAD that's fat.

Cheers! :bottle:

[Sarge]

I will look into the custom title thing. I didn't notice that.
I don't plan on bringing back hitchworld, unless member #2 shows back up here and starts posting again.
Breasts,

I agree .... Revworld will do

[conmee]

Hitchman©®™ has other FISH©®™ to fry and he's passed the torch to HITCH1996©®™ anyhow. He may show up on occasion, but I believe he's entered a new PLANE©®™ of existence.

That is all.

Icon©®™

P.S. On the other hand Black on White©®™ makes good porn.

[Sarge]

I think I fixed the custom usernames?
Were they like that before?

[ThrillsNSpills]

I think they were gone but they're back now.


A Hitchrant would be a good thing if he could be persuaded back.

Can you Left Align them?

Seems ok to me...

[Diamondjimi]

Excellent!

[Mezro]

Quick update: talking to Melton tonight at 8. We select the developer and find out when they can start. From there, Sarge approves the choice, I send him our global nav document, he gives us the thumbs up, pays the developer, and it is off to production.

Mezro...heading for the promised land...

[Mezro]

P.S. On the other hand Black on White©®™ makes good porn.

Mezro...so does Yellow on White...

[Mezro]

MEXZERO:

Mezro...so sorry, I only respond to Ron Mexico...

I notice it right now.

Mezro...this place is moving like my bowels after dinner at Gordo Taqueria...

[Sarge]

Can you Left Align them?

They look left aligned to me?

[Sarge]

Ok I put them under the avatar. I think they look miuch better under there.

[jhale667]

...Not sure they're all back yet? :confused:


Ah, position shift...never mind.

[Northern Girl]

They look left aligned to me?

Sorry, they look fine at home on my widescreen. I was at work where I use dual monitors and sometimes things get a little hinky on the one.

[Sarge]

Dear Roth Army,
We are making progress. Here is a list of changes.

Upgraded to vbulletin 4.0
Upgraded the photopost image gallery (They are on a beta version that needs some work. I am going to have to upgrade later.
Upgraded the blogs, which caused us to lose all the old blog entries. (Sorry)
Skinned the forum to a more pleasing color. If you don't like the current version, my apologies. It is much better than the blue and purple we had for the last 1.5 years. Before that we were offline for 9 months. This is the best the place has looked since 2007.

Installed these plugins:
1. AMP Auto Tagger 1.0.1 Automatically Tags Threads with Titles
2. Everywhere Sidebar 1.1.4 This mod will show the sidebar everywhere in the forum if the sidebar is enabled by the administrator (I disabled this on showthread.php because it was too busy looking)
3. Replace the vBulletin Default Quick Reply and Edit With Full Quick reply And Edit Box With Smilies.
4. Post Thank You Hack
5. Member number under avatar.
6. Custom title under avatar.
7. Separate Sticky and Normal Threads
8. Auto Reply in the fan intro forum by Sarge's Little Helper

Thank you Sarge!

I have to say that you and the webbies are a HOUSE ON FIRE right now with all of these changes.

Thanks again for all you do for us.

[conmee]
