        You have to copy the code for Websites. Any coding that has these:
        instead of the bracket codes we were used to, these will no longer work on here: [bracket code here ]

        But even if you do the Website code, it may not work. I noticed that not every ones are showing up, including mine, and mine is website coding.

                As if you need more to think about, what would be cool and most helpful when working on the store side, of course is to get that Newly Restocked and New in Store page up, but to also let us know how many of each of those items are left. I know when we email between one another to let each other know something new is in the store, we’ll say it’s 5 o-clock my time and theres 17 left.

                I do know that it helps some members here to keep watching how many are left because they can’t buy right when certain pieces are released and hope they will be around in a week or so. Watching the count down of how many are still in the store is most helpful when you’re having to wait to buy a hot piece and see just how close to the bubble you’re getting.

                I know you’ll work this out and if I gave it time my eyes would probably adjust, but yes, have to agree that the text is reading very harshly on my eyes too. I have to go to your link and find out how to format text again so I can get colour back in here as that would help me at least.

                I’m on Firefox and I don’t feel squished (though reading text seems tiny but I can adjust Firefox for that). Or maybe I am but I’m just not noticing it? But I personally don’t feel blocked in and I know tons more ppl use Firefox here. I think maybe it’s just me because I’m not here as much as others so I do not notice certain changes the way others would. The huge obvious ones I do such as formatting text, no avatar, navigation and such. But that comes with learning a new site. My main concern lies with the store side because that is a snatch and grab time stressful situation and the forum is not (ie. you can post any time but when something hot is in the store, you need to be on top of your game to snatch it).

                “Fate whispers to the wolf, you cannot withstand the storm; and the wolf whispers back, I AM the storm.”

                  Sway,

                  Could you put these in the suggestion thread so that Clay can see them all in one place for when he changes things? 🙂

                    but to also let us know how many of each of those items are left.

                    I agree. I like knowing how fast certain items are selling vs. when payday is. 🙂

                    Also, I see a block with the initial poster’s signature (if they have one) or just their name at the top of every topic I’ve checked out so far. It’s kind of confusing to see just the name, but no text, and then see the actual post as their own reply.

                    Also, testing to see if I have a profile/sig pic. >.>

                      Yes… that will happen on most (all?) of the topics created on the OLD forum. This was a glitch when the information was migrated over. I don’t know if it can be fixed or not.
                      You should not see this issue with any new topic created on this new forum!

                        Yay! I was finaly able to make a new thread post! Still having trouble with my icon and sig picture though.

                          I don’t like the new forum. Hence why I haven’t posted anything yet.

                          I don’t like how you have to go out of your way to see what threads have a new post… I liked the bright yellow from the old forum that meant a new post was made… now the icons look the same just with a tiny star on the bubble 😐 And even though it says “update” in bright red, something about it makes the pages look super cluttered, and that ends up being kind of overwhelming… and so to me, my head just blocks it out.

                          I also don’t like how, at least for me, everything starts abut midpage instead of the far left of the webpage. This means everything is scrunched into the right side.

                          It also seems like you can’t hide your online statues. I know a lot of you will wonder why this is a big deal, but I know several others that don’t like that you can’t “hide”.

                            The navigation part of the forum (indicators for new posts and such) are being worked on. Please bear with us.

                            I don’t know if there is a way to implement hidden status or not, but that’d be a great suggestion…

                            I think this has been mentioned before, but I personally was not seeing it until just now: Text below a (seemingly random) part of certain pages is now HUGE and overlapping.

                              This has been discussed before 🙂 The old forum used bb code (the stuff in brackets). The new forum doesn’t understand bb code though so that’s whats causing the huge overlapping text.

                                Ok, I have figured out what my trouble is. I can not edit any of my personal settings at all. My icon, signature, contact info. When I enter anything new and hit save, the old settings are back when it refreshes. I tried even erasing everything in my signature box and hitting save. I wrote test in all the contact info fields and hit save. And I tried uploading different size and file format icons. As soon as I close the page and then come back, all the old settings are back.

                                The reason my sig picture is not showing up is that for some reason, when the new forum went up, only part of the code transfered, so it is stuck with a link to no image.
