Cue Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 All I can say is, enjoy that stylevar system, or have they actually implemented a proper one and given you a final product now? Last I checked, it was this shoddy placeholder tool. Oh, and yeah, well done on the move guys, I know from experience how painful the vB3 to vB4 upgrade is, and the board I did it on was a fair bit less active (though unusually, only 100,000 less posts...?)
Dos_Box Posted April 6, 2010 Author Posted April 6, 2010 Shaun had to re-write all the templatese. VB 4.0 is CSS based and VB 3.0 wasn't. It took him quite a while!
powdarrmonkey Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 dos_box, perhaps I could code up a plugin to show people who the admins / moderators / sponsors are? (faster than looking at the memberlist!) Like Show Groups - EduGeek.net ?
featured_spectre Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 haha completely missed that! my apologies! still poking around seeing whats new! thanks for that
Cue Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Shaun had to re-write all the templatese. VB 4.0 is CSS based and VB 3.0 wasn't. It took him quite a while! Bet he loved how they changed all the template variables to this dodgy {vb.whatever something} system instead of $ vars.
JJonas Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) missing iSpy already. Used to leave myself on that page so I could always see what was going on. I hope it is not too long before its return. Other than that I love it! How about an Edugeek Firefox persona to go with the new look site? Edited April 6, 2010 by JJonas
Soulfish Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Enjoying the new style. Will take some getting used to but it's very nice. Thanks for all your hard work guys
Guest Guest Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) Its pretty TBH i like simple so ill see once i get used to it. One problem though, theres lots of white space in some short posts on FF 3.6.3 And i cant figure out how to upload attachments? Me being thick? http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8132/62486498.jpg Edited April 6, 2010 by Guest
ZeroHour Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 j17sparky: Yeh not sure what is causing the huge spacing, looking into it.
Guest theeldergeek Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 No, Shaun will be awake later and fixing missing components. Hopefully that will include the menu that was previously under the "Welcome" panel in the top right hand corner? I used that all the time. Appreciate that a lot of work has probably gone into this new look, but I'm afraid on first use this morning, I'm not liking it. I'll get used to it, I suppose.
tech_guy Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Bit migraine inducing at first but I've switched to light grey tabbed which is easier on the eyes. My aspergers is saying bring back the old edugeek!
leco Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Change takes time to get used to and, with a dispersed user group, not always possible to go through the "normal" change management channels. Me - I'm just looking and reading first giving time for reflective thought.
RabbieBurns Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 just had a look through the calendar.. theres someone from here born on every day of the year.. guess thats about right if theres 20k odd members.. Only 3 born on the 18th of June though.. the most are on the 1st of january, but I figure theres a lot of folk who when they signed up (like me) they just chose 01/01 out of pure laziness
EduTech Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 j17sparky: Yeh not sure what is causing the huge spacing, looking into it. Yeah it's weird it happens on mine too, but i am using IE 8. It's asif it puts whitespace until the end of the profile info on the left hand side and then does your sig :S Anyhow, as i said to you this morning ZH well done and nice one for your hard work last night you done a great job now i just have to get used everything again but change is good! and the features to come are going to help edugeek become bigger and better! James.

Guest Guest Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I still cant figure out how to add attachments http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/3872/bbbmc.jpg Now what do i do?

Guest theeldergeek Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Hi There appears to be a problem with uploads for now. I finally managed to upload a couple of small pics, but yes, definitely a problem. The text that appears above the thumbnails is in German too.
SimpleSi Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Excellent work Shaun I like the look of it - just going to try to find things like subscribed threads and new posts to see what they are like Simon
