[QUOTE=dragon wench]Does anyone know why it is that when you look at the members online (on the main GB page), some of them have a little
+ beside their name? *confused*[/QUOTE]I think it indicates members who are on your buddy list - for example, Bloodstalker shows up with a "plus" for me. I don't think that means he is extra-large or anything....

[QUOTE=Buck Satan]Don't worry, the old colors will be coming back. It just takes a long time to set up a whole new style - especially with all the additional options and changes that are available to me now.[/QUOTE]I am a voice crying in the wilderness, it seems. But I must say, I'm ready for a change, even a subtle change, from the old colors. Also, I like the new position of the avatar and name above the post. However, I really miss the Banshee at the top of the forum and really hate the "vBulletin" emblem that is currently there.

Change? We fear change...
Smoother, yes. Thankfully, the old colours shall return.
Aside from that, smooth change over. I like it.

@Scayde and Moonbiter, Buck posted this on the previous page, so it seems we'll get the old colours back after all

something little for the lurkers...
I love the new&improved search, but hate the fact it doesn't work (or rather, searches only through posts posted after the change).

Ah, nice the old dark collors come back, the bright light is hurting my eyes.

bugs?
I saw Fable mention that invisible mode is not working for him, I am experiencing this too. Anyone else?
Also.. when I bring up a PM received in my inbox, I don't see a reply option...
Has anybody else noticed this? Is it similar to the search function in that the new system does not properly work for any material from before the changes?

Invisible looked to be working for me withouth problems, but turned it of for now.
Your icon above your post also shows "invisible" (or rather offline)
And btw- you aren't listed on the "online" list either.
If you are thinking about the * behind your name in the list at your own view - I simply think it means you are invisible to others.

Ah.. okay, thanks ! *feels stupid*
Though I still can't figure out how to reply to an existing PM thread....

And btw - for PMs - use the "quote" next to "forward" to reply (with a quote though, but that can be cut out).

Good that the old colour scheme is coming back, white background is less good for visibility of text and it hurts my eyes as well!
Apart from that, I like the new interface and some of the new functions are very useful. Thanks Buck!

Acckkk!
Well that was a surprise.
An unfortunate consequence of the color scheme is an inability to ignore black text...harder to scan without reading every post. Perhaps a sheet of orange cellophane would serve as a filter. Maybe wrinkle it for texture.
These particularly unhelpful comments were brought to you in an attempt to avoid work..

*sigh* I could get used to this format, but I miss the old colors. I got a nasty shock when I tried to log on on the GB main page and it wouldn't let me. I got even more of a nasty shocf when I clicked the forums button and saw how it had changed. Can't wait till it changes back to the old colors.
