Old forum vs. New forum

[ricky bobby]

Which one is better? I personally hate this new setup. Maybe i'm just not used to it yet.

[Tubby]

Perhaps this couldve used a poll?

I like the new one, but I want my post count back.

[frogstomp]

Old forum was vastly superior, as of right now.

[slightlyaraiderfan]

This one, easily.

[bearsfan_51]

I hate this new forum in almost every single way. The only thing I do like is being able to see who voted for what.

[critesy]

we should have this poll in month or so from now, so everyone can get used to it.

[Paul]

One word. Smilies.

[Philliez01]

I'll adapt, no more "No Posts Exist" is a major upgrade in my eyes and the little hubs up above is quite handy as well. If this board doesn't crash, then it's better. I also am a fan of Quick Reply.

[Pit Bull #53]

I like the new one better myself, I liked both though. Once some of the things get worked out with the new one, I think it will be even better.

[bearsfan_51]

Is quicky reply really that big of a deal? It's one less click.

[4pAc]

One word. Smilies.
the eye roller didn't make it, NJX will be pissed

[ny10804]

we should have this poll in month or so from now, so everyone can get used to it.

Yea, judging now would be borderline "crime of passion."

As of right now though, I'd say the new version is superior. Plus, it's only gonna get better.

[slightlyaraiderfan]

I think most people might stop complaining once they get their post back...

One thing I do miss from the old forum, eye rolling smiley.

[M.O.T.H.]

I have to admit, I prefer the old one.

random question...

How do we PM someone?

[GB12]

I hate this new forum in almost every single way. The only thing I do like is being able to see who voted for what.

How? mmmmmmmmmm

[bearsfan_51]

One thing I do miss from the old forum, eye rolling smiley.

Aside from the post counts, I just don't like all the new gadgets. It's too much. I liked the simplicity of the new boards.

And I'm not a fan of the ranking thing either, although if it prevents people from spamming or generally being annoying I may change my mind.

[KILLERSANTA]

old one, right now.............But as soon as they get it running like Cowboys-Forum.com....The new one will be 50 times better....

[bearsfan_51]

How? mmmmmmmmmm

I think you have to look before you vote.

[Tubby]

:rolleyes: is the closest thing we've got to the eye roll smilie. IT MAKES ME AANGRYY

This quote thing is harder. What's up with the numbers?

Also, we need to add links back to the forum at the bottom of the page as well. Scrolling up once or twice isn't bad, but every time is annoying.

If quoting is hard then you're not doing it right. Also, use the forum quick jump dropdown menu at the bottom instead of scrolling all the way up.

[draftguru151]

Old one was Matt Leinart, nice and dependable, not a lot of potential. This one is Vince Young, loads of potential, but could turn out like crap.

I hate Vince Young btw.

[The Unseen]

I like the old one right now, but I'm willing to give this one a chance when it gets a better skin.

[frogstomp]

I'm talking about the numbers. When I quoted multiple people before I would just type their names in, now there are some crazy numbers.

One person is normal, though.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

we need a Jay Cutler, eh DG?


Anyway, so far, old one. But I do like that I can pm people again. I WANT MY POSTS BACK.

[detroit4life]

its called change everyone this is a little different and you dont like it becuase youre use to the old one give it a little time once u get used to it everything will be fine other then the post counts but eventually the reputation meter will overcome the post count

[smittyjs]

Yeah i like the old one better, but this will grow on me once i get use to it.

[bearsfan_51]

Actually the reputation meter compounds the post-count problem.

[Smokey Joe]

how do you see who voted for what?

[Shane P. Hallam]

We can get the smileys back. Lol, we can basically get everything back from the old forum, it just will take more than a day and a better server.

[smittyjs]

I bet i will love the new one but i posted for too long on this site for my post count to be altered. I know a lot of people dont care but a lot of people do. I mean i was an All-Pro and i just got relegated to a rookie and thats not cool.

[smittyjs]

We can get the smileys back. Lol, we can basically get everything back from the old forum, it just will take more than a day and a better server.Do you know when Avatar will be back up??

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

MORE THAN A DAY!!?! This is crazy talk. WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN US INTO!?!?!?!

I bet Rome woulda been built by now.

[yodapoop]

4 now, old one, it may change.

[slightlyaraiderfan]

I've post on other vB forums, so that's probably the reason I don't mind the change. For some people, it's just going to take some time.

[4pAc]

Are there anymore admins left? JBond has been demoted to head mod and I dont know about D-Unit yet.
edit:nvm, Ward is admin

[critesy]

you can change your location now ;)

[frogstomp]

Where's this meter?

[Tubby]

Can I change my vote to SARF's sig? I like whichever forum I can see that picture on a regular basis.

[frogstomp]

I thought you needed friends to post at other forums?

[TCU]

wait we can see who voted for what?

[KCJ58]

old fourm is better by far

[Tubby]

wait we can see who voted for what?

only if the poll maker checks the option when they make the poll

[Ward]

The admin situation is not settled yet. Basically the same power structure is in place as the old forum, except me and Scott are the only ones with access to the admin control panel. Needless to say, that thing is complicated. Not sure how things will settle. It could stay just me, it could eventually be both of them again, it could be none of us and just Scott. No one's been "demoted", just restricted until everyone knows more.

[Damix]

New forum easily, a lot more options for me to customize my viewing with. Make this poll in a month and most will feel the same

[draftguru151]

Chris, your mission if you accept, find this Jay Cutler board you speak of, and bring it here, and we will all rejoice, and have our post counts back.

[jkpigskin]

i liked the old digs better, but watever scott wants and watever will keep these boards running is wat i will support

[KILLERSANTA]

If anyone wants to see how sweet this board can/will be..Go here:

www.cowboys-forum.com







JUST GIVE THEM TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ny10804]

Where's this meter?

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/forum/images/reputation/reputation_balance.gif

That little thing under "Posts: #"




One thing, I don't like how nearly everyone "is a better and more productive poster than you." That should be bumped up and replaced with something else.

[smittyjs]

If anyone wants to see how sweet this board can/will be..Go here:

JUST GIVE THEM TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that looks pretty cool

[bearsfan_51]

By the way, I don't know who locked my thread, but it had nothing to do with current politics. Unless there is a party that still supports slavery that I'm not aware of.

[Ewing]

We got a new forum? When the **** did that happen?

[smittyjs]

By the way, I don't know who locked my thread, but it had nothing to do with current politics. Unless there is a party that still supports slavery that I'm not aware of.This bring up something else that i like from other forums that i think NFLDC should do. When a thread is lock post what rule was broken(# wise) or other reason why.

[frogstomp]

By the way, I don't know who locked my thread, but it had nothing to do with current politics. Unless there is a party that still supports slavery that I'm not aware of.

You mean the SBBS? Slaves Bringing Back Slavery?

They're a big deal lately.

[diabsoule]

I agree with you. Maybe I was too used to the old one but this one seems more complicated whereas the old one seemed more streamlined. Maybe after I start using this one a bit I'll grow more accustomed to it but as of right now I dislike it.

I also feel the same as you about rebuilding my post counts. I know you had quite a bit more than I had but I felt that reaching over 4,000 posts was kind of a big thing and now I'm back down to less than 800.

[KILLERSANTA]

that looks pretty cool
The site rules...........They even have Arrows..So you can go back to your last post in that thread :)

[jetsfan3]

I like old better. The ultimate forum =

Old format Setup
New Team Boards
New Poll Setup
Old Smilies
Old Quotes
Old Avatars
Old Post Count
New Repuatation

[familyguy555]

i really like the new forums

[KILLERSANTA]

This one will rock your face, If you just give them time...........:)

[EdReedUnstoppable]

The old forum!!! It was the best! This new one quite frankly.........bites!

[frogstomp]

Reputation is overrated. Especially since about 90% of your rep will be from people screwing around.

[RyanLeaf#1]

I hate change. So I like the old forum

[Eaglez.Fan]

I like the old one better, but with Avy's and maybe stretch the window it would be closer. Right now this takes up half my screen with the other half white :(

[comahan]

I prefer the cleanliness of phpBB, but this isnt horrible or anything.

[Jughead10]

I like the old one a WHOLE lot better. But hopefully little tweeks and quirks can be corrected to this to make it better.

[roidrunner]

old forum, but i do like the quick reply on the bottom.

[bigmac076]

ridiculous to make this poll so soon after the new forum comes out. Of course everyone is going to vote for the old forum.

[frogstomp]

I prefer the cleanliness of phpBB, but this isnt horrible or anything.

The communist speaks the truth.

[Man_Of_Steel]

old one by far

[njx9]

i hope no one is taking this seriously.

roughly 94% of the people who LOVED the old forum, were the most vocal ones in whining about all the problems with it.

it's the same bloody thing at base. you post, it displays your message in that thread. if you don't like the new stuff, don't use the functionality. if you miss the old emoticons, FIND THEM ONLINE. you can, amazingly, ADD them to the list here. just like we could on the old board. i mean, wow, a simple google query got me back http://www.jewsforjudaism.org/phpBB2/images/smiles/icon_roll.gif within 4 results. i know, it's so difficult to do that once or twice while things get added to the new board.

poor f'ing you. http://www.jewsforjudaism.org/phpBB2/images/smiles/icon_roll.gif

[Tubby]

you can, amazingly, ADD them to the list here. just like we could on the old board.

Oh almighty njx, tell us how we add these smilies.

[Scott Wright]

There is no doubt in my mind that everyone will prefer this forum once we get settled in. Give us a week or so...

oh my god, that's the funniest thing ever... "Jews for judaism" produces an eye rolling emoticon? You're such a prejudiced bastard njx!

Anyways. I never complained about the old forums, and I said I like them better. But who wouldn't, as of now. I can't judge what will be done later because it hasn't been done.

[Tubby]

SCOTT?!?! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR REP!?!?!

It's a catastrophe!

[njx9]

Oh almighty njx, tell us how we add these smilies.

i know, it's so hard. put together a list of ones you want, then, in about a week when the BASIC functionality exists, tell an admin which ones you want. kind of weird that it works exactly the same way it used to.

[NYmoney]

this is 100x better

[draftguru151]

After taking out all my anger on microphon through cats, this is growing on me a bit.

[TPFKA#1SaintsFan]

In terms of aesthetics and ease of use, this forum sucks compared to the old one. If the people in charge say it will be better, then I suppose I'll get used to it, but I'd say this was an overall bad decision. I never really had any major problems with the old forums, just the occasional small annoyance.

[FlutiesDropKick]

i understand its the first day but there was just something about the look and functionality if the previous boards that made me like them better. I know it had problems andi'm really just not used to this board yet so i'm willing to give it time. THat being said i cast my vote for the NFLDC of yor

[yodapoop]

The new forums are growing on me. I think I'll like them more once everything is settled.

[comahan]

Get all that worthless **** out of your sig, good lord.

[yodapoop]

Get all that worthless **** out of your sig, good lord.

If u say so, but Ward must remember.....

[TH3]

this is 100x better


quoted for the truth

[Jango]

I prefer the old one, by far. I thought that we should have moved to the forum after the mock draft and combine were over, as then is the time where any kinks and the such could be ironed out on here as well as people getting used to it.

I don't see this board as much of an upgrade IMO, I prefered the vastly superior php boards.

But I'll give it a chance, as I'm sure everyone will.

[JPLUFF]

At first I really didn't like this new set up, but the post quick reply feature is amazing. Give me about a week and I'll completely forget about the old forum.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

One thing I don't like is that you only get to see the first 5 pages, and last page, which sucks if you left off on a 8 page thread on page 6.

[draftguru151]

Yea I liked the first three and the last three.

[P-L]

I wasn't too fond of this one at first, but it's really growing on me.

[FlutiesDropKick]

One thing I don't like is that you only get to see the first 5 pages, and last page, which sucks if you left off on a 8 page thread on page 6.

I THINK that once you enter a thread it gives you the option to click on any page you want at least in one thread i checked that was 14 pages

[FlutiesDropKick]

yeah in the sig request thread i clicked on page 51 and the bar on the top gives you like 10 pages or so on either side. It actually upon 2nd look is EASIER to use.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Now that the dust has settled the new board is 10000x better, no more problems with pages and much cleaner, it will just take some time getting used to the different features, the whole rep system thing is very interesting.

[EdReedUnstoppable]

As much as I prefer the old board, I do like the way the team sections are now thats way better.

[cunningham06]

I like the new board, having a team forum is awesome.

[ninerfan]

after a couple of days this new one rules

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

I like the new board, having a team forum is awesome.

Except for the Broncos. There are like 6 of us.

[TH3]

did the IP bans transfer over?

[sweetness34]

Except for the Broncos. There are like 6 of us.

Sucks for you.

But I bet it's because you smell Chris. I told you to fix that.

[Shiver]

I am a fan of the switch. The old forums glitches were tiresome. This one has much more potential. I especially like the Team Forums.

[sweetness34]

I love the quick reply. That's sweet as hell.

[elway777]

Be optimistic Chris, more fans will come....

[wingboy2999]

I'm warming up to new elements of this forum. I'd like it if it looked like the old one but had the features of this one.

[Titans10]

I hate the new forum, doesnt seem as easy to navigate...but i think once i get used to it, it will be alright

[wingboy2999]

Yeah, it seems a little more cumbersome but as with anything, it takes a little while to get used to.

[Shiver]

Yeah, it seems a little more cumbersome but as with anything, it takes a little while to get used to.

I guess I am used to it. I go to a Video Game, and Lost forum that too uses vBulletin.
