Upgrade


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

Re: Upgrade


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

Re: Upgrade


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

Re: Upgrade


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
