Forum Upgrade

VGF has been upgraded to the newest version of vBulletin. Did the upgrade go smoothly? I guess. You tell me.

Looks horrible, in my opinion. The smilies are awful, and other things are weird too. :\

The site said it'd be down for an hour...but you got it up faster, I guess.

Quick reply box has now been shrunk in size. Meh.

Otherwise I don't see any real difference. I guess that's good.

The smilies were bugging me, too. I found the old ones.

Ah, thanks.

That was basically my largest complaint. The little icons that tell you whether something in a forum is "new" are different, and it's a bit annoying, but not a big deal.

EDIT: And they're back. Coolness, it's all good for me now.

Yeah, you could change those ugly new reply pictures back to the old ones.

There's some other things like topic icons which have reverted to the default look, but again, up to you.

Besides the shrunken Quickreply and that, though, I don't notice anything else--all that weird extra field stuff, however, doesn't show in profiles--though I get the idea those weren't working right in the first place.

There are a bunch of new features, but I'm just getting started.

Spoiler Below
Anyone bashing the upgrade as not having much to it will feel stupid after I am done.

When you're done, yes, but you can't really blame people for looking at what's up now and drawing conclusions.

^ You can use points to buy things in vbPlaza (gifts for other members, account features, etc.) The bank can be used to store points and gain interest.

Unless the rules have changed.
