Do you like the upgrade?
Archive: 57 posts
| I thought I'd make a poll to save Confused Cartman a job. Taking all into account, the loss of exp, the smoother running of the website, new look... etc. Do you like the upgrade? | 2010-01-13 08:32:00 Author: Draden6436  Posts: 297 |
| Too soon to tell, Draden. CC just completed the initial update and is slowly piecing it all back together. We are basically in a standard 4.0 forum right now except all our posts are still intact, he just booted up sort of speak. So yeah, in short, too soon to tell and too soon for a thread like this. | 2010-01-13 08:44:00 Author: Zwollie  Posts: 2173 |
| I think it looks really weird and i prefered the old one it flowed more but thats just my opinion. | 2010-01-13 09:03:00 Author: lbpholic  Posts: 1304 |
| As Zwollie said, we can't really say until we get the new theme, and some of the old things back... | 2010-01-13 10:34:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| There isn't anything to like at the moment, we still need to wait for all the old features and a new theme to be added. | 2010-01-13 10:41:00 Author: Dexiro  Posts: 2100 |
| Now it its realy ugly but i think it will be much better than the old one when they add the lbp-much-colours-theme so. | 2010-01-13 10:53:00 Author: Smelling-Cowboy  Posts: 668 |
| I'm not going to vote, it's just too early to tell. | 2010-01-13 10:57:00 Author: Yarbone  Posts: 3036 |
| But is it worth trying to fix something that wasn't already broken. You could argue it wasn't because we've got a pretty bland website now. But you could also argue that it could turn out improved and get rid of the crashing pages. | 2010-01-13 12:48:00 Author: Draden6436 Posts: 297 |
| Well I think the obvious choice is Need some getting used to , however I seem to be the only one. :o | 2010-01-13 12:57:00 Author: Boomy  Posts: 3701 |
| I know what you mean but its kind of a first impressions kind of thing. CC reckons that he should be able to get the gimmicks back on so fingers crossed but I reckon we would've all been fine waiting. Watch the results of this poll change as more of the gimmicks come back | 2010-01-13 13:11:00 Author: Draden6436 Posts: 297 |
| It really confused me this morning, and the search function doesn't seem to work... this is the same problem LBPF has after switching to this format. Say you search "Ccubbage" - only posts made after the change will appear in results, and if not, then all references to the name or word prior to the change do not appear in search results at all. EDIT: Nevermind... I tried searching at 3 AM, and it's now 10 AM when I posted this, and I must pull my foot out of my mouth - search functions fine now. So other than that... it looks sleek and lean, and fits well with my browser theme lol I think the banners we have up top need some color adjustment though, seem a little fat now, and maybe a nice blue border to highlight them would be fitting. | 2010-01-13 14:58:00 Author: Unknown User |
| At the moment? Not really. I wasn't even sure whether I'm on the right site earlier because everyone is using the same... /dislikes pre-made website stuff a la vbulettin Needs more LBP pictures so I know I'm on the right site. No doubt they will be added soon.  | 2010-01-13 15:18:00 Author: Syroc  Posts: 3193 |
| CC reckons that he should be able to get the gimmicks back on so fingers crossed but I reckon we would've all been fine waiting. k Well we are fine waiting. It's far better to get the site back up and running in a reduced state than wait for everything to be added back in and leave the site down for however long that takes. Remember that the site "staff" put in all this effort for your benefit completely free of charge. If you're major complaint is that the site is bland then surely you realise that is a temporary thing? Bearing that in mind, what does it matter? At the end of the day, the worth of this forum is in the people that frequent it and the backlog of valuable resources. That's all it is. The interface is secondary consideration. Over time we will see CC refine the interface, both visually and functionally to get it back to where it was before. I see no problem here at all. | 2010-01-13 15:25:00 Author: rtm223  Posts: 6497 |

| I just can't wait for the site to actually look like a LBP website. | 2010-01-13 15:40:00 Author: RangerZero  Posts: 3901 |
| It's still a bit early for me to judge. Although for looks, I'm diggin' it! Layout's gonna take some getting used to. Not like I'm gonna go into some kind of shock because I can't find my visitor messages.......R-Right? | 2010-01-13 16:05:00 Author: GreyMRP Posts: 588 |
| I think I sort of liked the old version better.. But then again, if we can get this one looking like the last, I'll be perfectly happy. I agree with lbpholic in which I think the old version flowed better. Best of luck to you CC | 2010-01-13 16:27:00 Author: Sackwise  Posts: 305 |

| Honestly, I can see myself liking it much more than it was before, but I have to wait for a new layout to be sure. It's hard for me to stare at so much white for so long. | 2010-01-13 19:08:00 Author: dandygandy2704  Posts: 1002 |

| It's potential really. Just in case anyone has got any suggestions, I would probably tell CC Soon because he has got plans to make this site better than before with new stuff as well | 2010-01-13 19:38:00 Author: Draden6436 Posts: 297 |

| Oh thank god! I thought this was the new design! (Phew) The site seems to be much faster etc. But I don't think I can completely like it until a proper new theme is added, this one is just too.. bland. I voted 'A Bit' EDIT: I remember that layout ARD!  | 2010-01-13 19:43:00 Author: Plasmavore  Posts: 1913 |
| Where's teh thanks button?! =[[[ I'm hopeless with changes! Don't laugh at meeee  | 2010-01-13 19:46:00 Author: KoRnDawwg Posts: 1424 |
| Where's teh thanks button?! =[[[ I'm hopeless with changes! Don't laugh at meeee vBExperience is gone for a while. As soon as a 4.0 update is released (it is supposedly being worked on) we will update it and re-enable it. fsdgsdfhsdgg | 2010-01-13 19:49:00 Author: ARD Posts: 4291 |
| fsdgsdfhsdgg I know not about these things! I only know a bit of CSS D: I'll just kill myself now *walks to a corner* | 2010-01-13 19:53:00 Author: KoRnDawwg Posts: 1424 |
| I like the new touches, like thread icons that show where you posted, and quick reply with quote. The new temporary layout isn't very pretty, but it's a lot more compact at the top, saves me scrolling. Too bad the first new post button is broken, hopefully that'll get fixed soon. Other than that, the only thing I really miss is the thanks button. | 2010-01-13 20:00:00 Author: Rogar  Posts: 2284 |
| Can't you make it all LBP'ish with cardboard and decorations all over? I don't like this new version really. I like the old one better. CC has said that he will make it more LBP-ish just be patient! | 2010-01-13 20:18:00 Author: Doopz Posts: 5592 |
| I'll come back later to see if the forum is looking and working a bit better, because for now, it's... confusing | 2010-01-13 20:54:00 Author: Chump  Posts: 1712 |
| I do need some time to get used to this. It's alright but it seems to wide and spread out. A little on the bright colored side too. I don't know. I'm just not a big fan of it at the moment.... | 2010-01-13 21:34:00 Author: piggabling  Posts: 2979 |
| i dont think we can tell yet wait till it gets LBpified | 2010-01-13 21:44:00 Author: Snrm  Posts: 6419 |
| It's like buying a kit car. You know the finished product will be amazing but the most boring bit is giving it the lick of paint. | 2010-01-13 21:55:00 Author: Draden6436 Posts: 297 |
but i like painting lol  | 2010-01-13 21:56:00 Author: Snrm Posts: 6419 |
| Alright then, your kit car is a pink vauxhall corsa... Still like painting lol. I like painting too | 2010-01-13 22:07:00 Author: Draden6436 Posts: 297 |
| Is there some sort of road map for the site's transformation we could be aware of? just to get an idea of what's left to come. | 2010-01-14 00:32:00 Author: RangerZero Posts: 3901 |
| Okay... theres alot i do not like about the change... but i do like the colorz! | 2010-01-14 04:00:00 Author: Joshofsouls  Posts: 1569 |
| ................the thanks button isn't broken........:/ it JUST worked for me!it worked when i thanked v0rtex!!! | 2010-01-14 04:46:00 Author: theswweet  Posts: 2468 |
| I'll be honest and say no. Feels a pain in the butt to navigate, and all the charm is gone. | 2010-01-14 08:17:00 Author: TheJollyRajah  Posts: 466 |

| well its all right i like the old style better but i guess it will be updated so meh edit: lol yarbone i clicked on the video but the computer volume was on full im in a public place xd | 2010-01-14 11:47:00 Author: rseah  Posts: 2701 |
| i dont think we can tell yet wait till it gets LBpified L....ike this? http://www.littlebignetwork.com/forum.php Just used it as an example, they've done one hell of a job there! | 2010-01-14 15:00:00 Author: konniksanders  Posts: 104 |
| Is there a custom skin option? How about making the borders and stuff black and blue like before? This pastel "grey-blue" is too cold and doesn't feel LBP at all. We are like a StarTrek forum right now or cuisine. You should also make the horrible Vbulletin banner disappear in priority. When you enter the website it's like you fall one of those free forum templates... | 2010-01-14 15:14:00 Author: RangerZero Posts: 3901 |
| I don't like the graphic of the forum and the home page, it was better the original one, anyway all seems to work well, so i voted "A bit". | 2010-01-14 15:50:00 Author: Dante95  Posts: 504 |
| Wow, Look at the new digs! Seriously it's so different. I guess LBPC is moving up in the world, huh? | 2010-01-14 16:09:00 Author: pantspantspants  Posts: 189 |
| Well the thanks are back so it's gotta be getting back to normal sooner rather than later | 2010-01-14 21:43:00 Author: Draden6436 Posts: 297 |
| "Holy cow Cartman"...step away from the computer for a few months, "ZAP"..."BAM"..."ZOWIE"...and the whole world changes. It's like learning to be potty trained all over again..and then some! Rick | 2010-01-19 02:59:00 Author: RickRock_777  Posts: 1567 |

| I'm glad I voted yes when the thread was first put up. I'm guessing most of the people who voted "No" will regret it after they see the all new look. | 2010-01-19 05:55:00 Author: TheFirstAvenger  Posts: 787 |

| Like I said in the other thread I like it- but the increase in images and other stuff put's strain on my PSP and now I can't go on any of the pages...=/ | 2010-01-19 12:44:00 Author: FuzzballFox  Posts: 217 |
| At the end of the day I think we're back to where we were in the first place so you can't say that it's worthwhile because cc has changed the background, we still haven't got exp and I have to reach my forums the longway round because the system can't find my articles... Am I right or am I right? | 2010-01-19 14:18:00 Author: Draden6436 Posts: 297 |
| Wow, came in a little less than a week later, and this looks fantastic now. I love the new format and style! | 2010-01-19 16:26:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Like I said in the other thread I like it- but the increase in images and other stuff put's strain on my PSP and now I can't go on any of the pages...=/ I don't have a PSP but you should be able to block images on a mobile device's browser, or in fact any browser. If not then I recommend using a good browser until the mobile theme comes back into effect (if it does). At the end of the day I think we're back to where we were in the first place so you can't say that it's worthwhile because cc has changed the background, we still haven't got exp and I have to reach my forums the longway round because the system can't find my articles... Am I right or am I right? Jeez, you really have got the hump over this, haven't you? As far as I can tell it's still an ongoing update so the interface will be gradually improved as CC has always done, by listening to the community and responding as quickly as he can - may I remind you again that the site staff do all this hard work for free. CC talked about the improved features that come with the update so as time goes on we will start to see the benefits of that. As for navigation.... Subscriptions, New Posts and the top level forum views all work exactly as before, so I'm not entirely sure what part of the navigation is causing you problems. Have I missed something in all my months here that was faster than these methods. And as for XP, I never really saw it as a key feature or that it had any real worth so personally I don't see how it matters. | 2010-01-19 16:43:00 Author: rtm223 Posts: 6497 |
| Like I said in the other thread I like it- but the increase in images and other stuff put's strain on my PSP and now I can't go on any of the pages...=/ Just press home when the page starts loading... | 2010-01-19 16:49:00 Author: ARD Posts: 4291 |
| @Draden6436 - No, you aren't. You are in fact, wrong. | 2010-01-19 16:59:00 Author: Unknown User |
