New look for website? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember TJ you mentioned that you were going to change the look of the boards. Is that still going to happen? I vaguely remember you mentioning December 27th, but wasn't completely sure.

You were right TJ made it an annoucement. I'm not sure what he has in mind, but the boards might look like this http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/

There is some beta testing going on currently, the plan is to upgrade them on Monday. It will probably take the whole day, maybe a day and a half.

That would look good, but right now the layout is fairly simple, and that seems alot different to the way it is now.

So the board will have a new look on Monday?

Well when I first upgraded to vBulletin 3 years ago, it was quite a bit more complicated then the previous Ultimate Bulletin Board. It might look a bit more complicated at first and will take some time to get used to it, but the pros far outweigh the cons.

You can try it out here, although this is not necessarily the final look of it:

Hmmmm not bad, that will take alot of getting used too, that's the type of layout that the Sandra Bullock boards have and I'm still getting used to it

Yes, that's what it said in the announcements.

I like the new look. I hope it's easy to get used to because I hate change.

combsisthebest · 01-01-2005, 09:30 PM

I demoed the VB3 software before, and it's really nice. I think it will be a good change.

PZelda · 01-01-2005, 10:02 PM

Uh, ahem, TJ?

I like having post counts gone...Can they please NOT return with the new software?

Me too. I'm really hoping he can have another vote. I have a feeling a lot of people won't want post counts to return. So....

I think posts counts can be good for at least a little while. I talked to TJ about this and for whatever reasons, newbies like post counts. It might get people to be more active. That is one of the things we are striving for. Me personally, and for alot of the "veterans" here, post totals don't matter. I think it might help to get more people involved. Yes, you will run into certain people who will only care for boosting their post counts. Overall, however, I think it will help with board activity.
