"Oh gosh....oh gosh! TEXTURE ERROOOOOOOR!!!"

EDIT: Spelling.  Need the edit reason mod...
Always seemed redundant to me. Who reads the things?

About the upgrade:
Karma system: good. Banhammer on mods: very good. I can see the coming weeks being a lot of fun.
Style: hm. A bit blue and washed-out. Nothing a quick bit of firefox plugin wizardry won't fix.

To those who took the opportunity to have another underhanded jab at the devs: you suck more than words can say.

Oh words can say, just not within the limits of civilised society.

Fast Reply:  Check your Profile settings, "under Look and Layout Preferences", turn "show quick-reply" option to "On by default" (1st thing I did).

Scrollbars:  There aren't any... are you running at 640x480, or is your browser resized to half window size, or what?  Which browser you using?

SMF makes scrollbars on posts that are over two lines long. They don't look like they're useful either.

Are you sure about that?
Because, I've been using SMF for about 2 years now.
And, I haven't seen this problem.
In fact, the only time I ever see a scrollbar is if there are [code][/code] tags, or oversized pictures, in a post.
What do you mean?
Can you take a screenshot, using the PrtScrn button, and upload the picture to www.tinypic.com ?
Because, as you can see, this post is well over two lines long... and I can see the whole thing on my screen.
Do you want me to post a screenshot of what I see?

Screen resolution is 1280x1024.

It also does it for Hard Light's forum, which is SMF too.

Daaaaayum, you've got everything but a nail clipper and a corkscrew on that thing.

// Ever played the Ur-Quan Masters?  I had a nice spot of fun with that space sim (though the time limit dealie really annoyed me).
// Can't say I ever tried FreeSpace, though.  I'll have to take a look.

What point would it serve if the posts already scale to the post length?

I have scrollbars.  They don't seem to be moveable.  I really don't care though.  They take up a fraction of the screen space all that crap jr2's has installed gobble up :P

Personally, I like the new forums.  You can turn off images, signatures, avatars, many of which were an extreme annoyance on the previous boards.  More options, mod tools are better...  If I dig deep for a complaint, I'd say that it would be nice to have skin options, but I gotta dig real deep for that.  The present skin is pleasant and readable, if a little bright in a dark room ;)

Timbo and anyone else that may have been involved, much appreciation and thanks.  And that extends beyond the new forums.

:p  Some of us have nice monitors... If I want space, I press F11 and: (and, I have a 2nd monitor with the same rez!)

It loaded the pic as position:absolute.  My guess is only some of the css had loaded, or you have old stylish / GM scripts designed for the old forums.

EDIT:  I now have motivation to make a cool new theme.  By doing so I can forcibly remove that travesty below my name, the 'Posts: leet' counter.

That happened to me as well. I just reloaded the page and it worked right though...

That happens in SMF if the page isn't completely loaded (usually happens to me if I'm uploading & downloading @ max speed while trying to view forum pages, or if I'm having Internet connection issues).  And, yeah, the fix is to reload the page.

Just disable the post scrollbars for all browsers with CSS.

another thing ive noticed is that suddenly everyones email is visible, even though they were hidden before (and chosen by users to be hidden)

What is mine? I chose it to be hidden. But I don't really care, it the email I use for all forums/games and never check it on my main computer.

Suggestion: Turn avatars back on, but make sigs appear only once per page (or per thread even).

Yeh? :D Neh? >:( Meh? :-\
