Upgrade

Jon · 11-05-07, 06:55 PM

Sorry for the 30 mins of downtime, eXceem has been upgraded to the latest version of vbulletin

A few things have changed in terms of appearance, and a few more little things will change tonight, do let us know by replying to this thread if you have any suggestions

jazzy639 · 11-05-07, 07:00 PM

eXceem is so much quicker now! Im not waiting a minute for the page to load!

On a side note, personally I prefer the appearance of the old version but it does not come close to the speed of this

SolidSnake · 11-05-07, 07:01 PM

Ye i liked the old version a lot better, speed was fine for me. Is there a way in the options or my profile to select the old layout and apperance?

User CP > Edit Options > Postbit Template Section > Change as required.

i think im going to give the horizontal one a week or so, see if i can get used to it

jazzy639 · 11-05-07, 07:03 PM

Just figured out how to get the layout looking normal, in Options in the User CP, change Postbit Template Selection to Forum Default, it sorted it for me

Lol beat me to it

Jon · 11-05-07, 07:04 PM

the old layout need a few html tweaks to be compatible with the latest version of vbulletin, which will take me a few hours to code.

The difference in speed is due to the large number of images and some less than perfect html in the old skin, this "new" skin is optimized and as you can see very fast

The new default skin will be this "new" one but the older one will be selectable soon

8dayssooner · 11-05-07, 07:05 PM

its coming back - thought id make it so the forums are usable, turn them on, then add all the extra features rather than make you all wait!

8dayssooner · 11-05-07, 07:10 PM

ah cool.

i was just wondering as i went to give someone a thanks, and it had disappeared haha.

Looking forward to seeing what new features we get!

Jon · 11-05-07, 07:12 PM

the majority of the upgrades are small bug fixes and a few speed enhancements but you should notice a few things

Ben Hampson · 11-05-07, 07:28 PM

Ooh yes, it's a a bit quicker - quite noticeable infact. OK - all is good.

mattflower · 11-05-07, 07:30 PM

has this sorted the automatic picture resizing?
Everytime I upload a photo it takes up the whole screen

delude · 11-05-07, 07:32 PM

I much prefer when the avatar and that is to the left, but it is much quicker yeah.

Whoops. Didn't read the whole page, sorry!

Jon · 11-05-07, 08:23 PM

Thanks should be working again

Simon · 11-05-07, 08:24 PM

Horizontal is long, but it loads much quicker...

Jon · 11-05-07, 08:25 PM

I guess its down to personal preference
