Wow lots to get fixed site is a mess lol.. Are we going to at least be able to pick our own skins as this color selection is just god awful goes against all site design concepts. The white has to absolutely go it just kills your eyes making the site seem very sterile and amateurish. The puke florescent green...why?... On the main page you gotta either make that garbage to the right closeable or move it back to the bottom out of the way its just garbage taking needed space. yes the size does need to be reset as you optimised the site for a 4:3 ie 800x600 resolution meaning it looks stupid on the majority of screen and tablets. In my avatar to the left my name doesn't even show anything. In that same box it really needs to have your post count, date of signup and an active online offline indicator.. Drop the Facebook and twitter login stuff as for this kind of site that's one of the biggest no nos a web designer could do leaving a giant gaping security threat to every member. If your signing in with either then your an idiot and probably will get a visit as you basically drew a map to your door and the computer your on no idea why that was even thought to be a good idea.Who cares about the like button as that just nonsense anyways..I know there is more but my eyes can't handle this blarring bright colors so thats a priority to get the color scheme fixed. The sections tables need to be a different color then the page background to show some kind of seperation and organization. On the main page the links at the top need to be spread out as the new notification user area is all cramped up. This is like going from windows 7 to windows 8 all bad changes for the sake of change lol

Yes I see all of that in the drop menu however my participated tab shows no posts.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding things but anything I comment on should be listed here? If not then that's my fault.

Is there any way to allow more than two links in the signature? It is already counting my picture as one link.

Likes are still coming and going. Is that the design or are you guys still working out the bugs?

It is still 100 times better than the old site - thank you so much!

Saturated with positivity... :rolleyes:

It wasn't change for the sake of change. See OP:

Hey Guy's

Ok first off lets get this out of the way, I apologize :) we were in the process getting new servers up before this happened and doing the switch to the new software when, vbseo was injected with a redirect/javascript inclusion. Which made us get blacklisted in Google until we could fix the problem.

As most of you seen we fought with it for 2 days trying to get it back but vBulletin + vbseo programming was just not cutting it. So we had to make a decision.

1) Remove vbseo all together and let Google re-index all the pages on the site and be stuck with vBulletin software.
2) Install xenforo as our new software and do an update across everything.

We opted for #2 as it was the best for the future of the site, even though we realize that we were not able to give you guy's/girls ample notice about this.

We did the best by posting our status on Twitter but the way vBulletin session handling was we had to empty the database every few hours so you guy's could see the message :(

So that's it there, I am really excited with xenforo and the speed and pure strength of the programming put into this is amazing.

So let's use this thread to discuss issues that you see, or major changes that need to be addressed. This upgrade was rushed because we wanted to get everything back online ASAP.

If you use firefox and have the "stylish" extension, you can plug this into a script and hack their css, essentially getting a theme of your choice.

Here's what I have so far. This makes width : 100%, makes the colors somewhat more like the old version, makes page number links viewable without mouseover on thread lists, and some other stuff:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("rollitup.org") {
.pageWidth {
max-width: 100% !IMPORTANT;
}

.primaryContent a {
color: #007080;
}

.xeno_cat_top_center {
background-color: #ecdfbd;
}
.xeno_cat_top_title h3 a, .xeno_cat_top_title h3 a:visited {
color: #928857;
}
.xeno_cat_bottom_center {
background-color: #ecdfbd;
}
.node .nodeText {
margin: 3px 270px 3px 56px;
}
.node .nodeIcon {
margin: 3px 0 3px 5px;
}
.node .nodeLastPost {
margin: 4px;
}

.node .nodeControls {
margin: 15px 0;
}

.navTabs .navTab.selected .navLink {
background-color: #919e4c;
}

.navTabs .navTab.selected .tabLinks a {
text-shadow : none;
}

.Popup .PopupControl.PopupOpen, .Popup.PopupContainerControl.PopupOpen {
background-color: #919e4c;
}

.navTabs .navTab.selected .tabLinks {
background-color: black;
}
.navTabs .navTab.selected .tabLinks {
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
#QuickSearch {
background-color: black;
margin-top: -25px;
}

.footer .pageContent {
background-color: #919e4c;
}

.discussionList .sectionHeaders {
background-color: #ecdfbd;
text-shadow: none;
}
.discussionList .sectionHeaders a {
color: #928857;
}
.discussionListItem .itemPageNav {
visibility: visible;
}
.discussionListItems a:link,.discussionListItems a:visited {
color: #80a0b0;
}
.discussionListItems .unread .title a {
color : #007080;
}
.discussionListItem.visible.sticky, .discussionListItem.visible.sticky .posterAvatar, .discussionListItem.visible.sticky .stats {
background-color : #eAeAea;
}

.messageList .message {
border: 1px solid #919e4c;
margin-bottom: -1px;
}
}

It's a bit glitchy, but a huge improvement for me at least.

Just wondering if this is only me. When the site first came back up I was getting an option to upload files from my computer. The last couple of days that option is not there, all I get is the option to insert a pic from an off-site URL when I click the image icon in the toolbar. I've cleared/reset all settings/cache/history on Safari, Chrome, and Internet Explorer, still no go. I can still up load single pics and 1Mb limit with the Upload a File option, but not the image icon...??

Church which version you using is it the 1.4.2?

Cannacove..I think you misunderstand. yes the server needed to be changed and I see the reason given for switching forum companies but the change for sake of change was meant for the color and the theme layout. Most of the issues are quick simple fixes when in regards to placement and color layouts. I do websites as my daily job also and just putting out basic things that need to be changed to bring it up to a very basic layout with function.

I'm using 1.4.2. I just edited my post with some more style changes. (sticky threads background slightly different color, forum sections margins reduced).

Gotcha, I thought you were implying the whole site update. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I did web development for about 10 years before going into digital marketing. I completely understand UX/UI importance. I just think that the powers that be here on RIU are doing their best to fix function at the moment and will get to aesthetics shortly after. Sorry again for misunderstanding.

I have noticed that this new site is harder on the eyes. Any chances of changing the page color, or maybe just the boarders? It's too bright.
