Default ATTN everyone - Open this thread its about the new skin

Hey - Is anyone having any issues with the new skin?

We are still trying to get it upgraded to VB 3.5.3 and we will soon have gallery or some such thing installed. But is the skin moving around fluid and quickly for all of you? The other day load times were very bad but that may have went away.

Also - Are any of the graphics on the skin not loading for you? Please describe.

Thanks guys.

-The other Chris

The skin is fine, but I get nothing but red x's when people post pictures, and you have to click on them to see the pic.

You also don't get the PM notification deal window that pops up when you have a new one.

Check your user control panel, that part wasnt changed, only the skin.

Dunno about that one there Floppy. If it was changed in the skin it might be. I dont know everything that was created for the skin, so it could be there.

also, just noticed the little checkmark icon that means you're subscribed to a thread is still from the old layout. not a biggie but letting you know in case you didnt see it.

We havnt updated to the new version of vbulletin, which might resolve this.

Remember, this skin is more graphic intensive and server intensive, so the load times will be a bit longer.

We're still getting stuff worked out. I know the attachment thing is a new setting that Jason put into effect because its sucking up load times. We might have to change to the whole "host pics first" thing if we cant resolve the server load.

Again, same deal with the attached pics. I've never experienced slow loading time with the new skin.
