You can't bring the old vB3 skin back, but you can check any of the other ones available out. Scroll all the way to the bottom and choose one from the quick picker right above "Affiliates".
Are you talking about the layour of the nzb section, or the styling of the forum altogether?
Whichever it is, I'm always open to any suggestions...
Just saying "it's horrible" doesn't help.
And no there's no "classic" style.
Anyway to view a persons post history beyond today?
Basically kills any chance of checking up on someone in the invite section.
i have to say i do prefer the old style. i carnt put my finger on it what it is tho.

From the bug thread:
Quote:
Cannot search posts or threads made before the site update (will be fixed next week when we get sphinx back)
Like anon-sbi posted we will get this back next week.
The server admin needs to update the sphinx search engine for us and it's his weekend now...
I rebuilt the index for vb internal search back to one month. I will have it index a few more months later. Takes a long time...
OK thanks .Kind of makes the invite section an even more dangerous place until it's straightened out( see latest "Looking for IPT" thread).
Thanks didnt know that. Unfortunately the other skins look worse and dont fix the changed layout.
Both. Its still usable but the whole thing feels like a downgrade. 2 main complaints
1. The new categories section on right is uneeded and bothers me. I have all my favorite movie/games/tv nzb pages on individul bookmarks so I will never use the giant categories slab on the right side.
2. The nzb binaries sectiion now has annoying little squares for "select all" "select none""select inverse" instead of being clearly labeled buttons like the old layout.
Tons of other nitpicky things. Pretty much everything thats changed looks worse and feels incomplete. Please bring back the old style! :cry:
I have to disagree, the NEW NZB index is much improved and makes it easier on people who post them, eg me and others (wile towerblocks doesn't like and other might not, we should at least give it a chance instead of instantly jumping on tesco and others), just add your "real" suggestion besides going back to the old layout or old NZB Index and well see what we can do. It make them more presentable so you know what you getting instead of Googleing....the search engine works, we have RSS feeds now I said RSS :) So technically you don't even have to visit the threads, you can just load your section via RSS. Many more improvements, and give it time before complaining it just went live a few hours ago and we know it's not perfect, tesco worked on it for a very long time, it's not nice to be all negative, and no the "old" NZB won't/can't come back, we've already upgraded to the new VB.
OK so after using the forum a little more I got over the change is bad phase and dont hate it as much. One thing I would like changed is have the filesize under the title name instead of having it way over on the right side of the screen. Squeeze the filesize in between the title and the group name (or just replace it with the group name) and it would be perfect...

yeah looks alot better this way IMO
me likes it ;-)
There's too much wasted space in my opinion. I.e. too much blank space between lines of text and various page elements, specifically in the vertical direction. In forums, fewer threads now fit on my screen, and in threads, fewer posts.
Also, in the BT forum if you use the Forum Tools -> Mark as Read, it will immediately mark the subforums as read but the actual threads there require a page refresh for this to take effect. This doesn't seem to occur in forums without subforums. It's a small thing but it's a change and kind of annoys me.
I would love to see the "replies & views" info on the main NZB page, you can get the info when you search for a specific title so I know the info is there and I find it useful when there are multiples of the same title.
Also under user settings I cannot find a default "sort" option (post date, last post, title, poster).
Thanks for all the time and hard work, some just need time to digest it all!
I believe it'll take some getting used to but it isn't horrible. The NZB Index has certainly been improved. I might change my opinion when I come here at night and get blinded by the bright skins.
I'll post some suggestions tomorrow when I've gotten used to the new design.
The banner is too hot I have to say, very very cool. Nicely done!
c'mon, looks good
I like layout! takes bit to get used to, like switch office 2003 to office 2007!
GJ tesco!
I don't think it's horrible but I want something darker and with more contrast.
I feel like most of the site is just melting together and is too bright.
I think the design looks better though.
Could do with something to get back to the forum section your instead of having to got back to the top or am I missing something?
Good skin! I use it now, bertter than old dark one.
what happen to flags of countries underneath avatar?
When I reply to a thread it goes to the quick reply first :unsure:
The re thingies in a strange place as well.
I'm not complaining if this is progress than so be it :smilie4:
One thing I really like about the new site is when you click create nzb it give you an nzb with the name of the release and not "some random number.nzb"
I would like to be able to sort the listing by last post but cant find an option to do that, just by release date.
me es likey Pixel Wood
Pixel Wood is beautiful. Blows away the dark theme from the old layout.
Am I the only one that this new theme is scrolling funny for? For me, it's scrolling in "chunks". Really annoying. I've tried it in three different browsers too, and this is happening in all of them. I'm having to switch back to another theme that scrolls nice and smooth.
Can't see links at all. At least not in the normal skin. :no:
There was no pixel wood this morning (may have been yesterday?), but thank The Olympians that there is a dark theme.
Except that I cant see skizo's name very well...<*squints and waves at skizo*>
Pixel Wood is SEXEH
How do you change to Pixel Wood? I tried selecting the skin from the bottom right dropdown box but nothing happened. I go to a different page on FST and it reverts back to FST.
Like they say if it ain't BROKE don't FIX it! ;)
I like the old look of FST which had like a HOME page, felt better, this now is just a forum, like we're missing something.
The old was just fine really and I'd love to see it put back if possible.
BUT if the forum will be an improvement then I can live with it, BUT please put something back that gives that HOME page look along with a forum, not just the way it looks now as only a forum.
THANKS
