Well, it's that time again. Upgrading SH. I did fuck it up majorly because I had reversed two variables and couldn't get any error messages to figure out what the hell was going on. WAMP, you failed me.

Thing seem to be in order now. If there are errors please let me know. I think I should be done tinkering though I should take a major look at the UCP.

New features if you care to look. PMs can be 'conversations' between more than one person. Friendly URLs. Facebook-type mini-update thing in your profile. A lot of the change was backend so nothing to see though now I have a pretty neat admin CP and reported posts center. (;

I completely rewrote the Multi-Avatar system and added it as an application. You can now choose how it's sorted in the fast-reply dropdown, the full post form, and the edit multi-avatars section. There's also a tab in members profiles for it.

Regular members get 15 avatars, alumni get 20, and donating members get 75.

The look. I know it's different but it would have been ridiculous to try to fit everything into a fixed width of 650px and centered. I know many people aren't going to like it. They didn't like the old skin back when it was introduced, either.

Thanks for bearing with me this rather tiring morning!

I think I like it.

Is "View New Content" the equivalent of the old "View New Posts" button? Because I used the hell out of that thing. And since there's no little orange square anymore, how do I get to the last unread post? I have exploring to do!

[flower of carnage]

Yes, view new content is the same. Except it can include blog/gallery/etc. stuff.

I think last unread posts might have gotten messed up on a lot of topics because of an error I encountered running a script command line... we'll see if it sorts itself out in a few days.

[fly on the wall]

Ha, when I came on just now I said, "Ah, holy crap!"

It's a big change, but I like it. :)

[bailey danielle.]

Hmm.
I'm not sure I totally like it.
Give me a week to get used to it. Ha.

[Bone Palace Ballet]

Ooh, I get 25 more avatars! :) Very happy girl. And I love the way it uses the whole screen. I never liked the big black gaps either side of threads and profile pages really.

Thanks for all the hard work Gabs.

*trots off to check out the update thingie on profiles*

[in violet light.]

View New Content keeps showing me the same posts, and not including the newest ones, like the ones we're making here. View Today's Active Content is showing me the newest posts, but I can only get to it from the main forum page.

Is there supposed to be a button that takes you to the newest unread? Or is it just supposed to happen when you click the topic name? Once I figure these two things out, I'll be a happy camper! I really like the new look. It's quite pretty. Ooh and the profiles are neat!

[hooker with a penis]

I can't figure out how to find the multi avatar thing.

[given.to.fly]

The change is huge! It kind of makes my head hurt, but I like it. :)

[in violet light.]

Ah, If I go right to the specific forum, I see the View Last Unread button, but I don't see it from the View Today's Active Content page.

A lot of people's avatars aren't showing up. On this page I can see everyone's but Flypaper's. On another topic I was looking at I could only see half.

Hmmm. I like it better with the gaps on either side, so the wideness I'm going to have to get used to. I don't like change!!!! Ahhhh!

It looks good though, Gabs, I like the new features and such. :)

[The Reverent Intellectual]

I'm completely in love with the PM pop up bit.
I am having some issues with the view new content as well. Aside from the fact it keeps showing me the same things, it's also not showing page numbers or who made the posts.

Overall though, I'm loving it. I think it looks totally awesome. :D

[fly on the wall]

Yeah, I can't see my avatar, and it makes me sad. :(

Edit: Holy shit, why am I a male? *fixes*

LOL, that happened to me too :)

[anxious geek]

Wow. I like the new skin :) can't wait to play about with the new features.

The Alice in Wonderland skin will always be in my heart. RIP :love:

I really have to get used to the wide version of SH. I always thought the narrow version was kind of cozy. I do love that logo though, what a great S ^_^

On a different note: the 'show all emoticons' link doesn't work for me.

[Mrs Dalloway]

Woah, this is different! It'll take some getting used to, but I think I like it :D

Off to upload some new avatars :)

[the crane wife]

For me, the little flags showing where the people are from are displaying as red x's. Not sure if that's been addressed but I thought I'd point it out!

Thanks for the hard work, Gabs, it is a nifty change. :star:

[cc5]

Whoa! For a moment I wasn't sure if I clicked on SH, haha! I like it though, it'll take time to get used to it :) Thank you for all the hard work, Gabs!
