Nokia, see the Announcement.

I won't backup avatars nor PM's..
It's not like they are worth anything...
BTW.. How is one to backup PM's on this VBulitin stuff ??
Download them to a text file. It's an option on the bottom of PM.
Didn't see the announcement, thanks MsM!
It had disappeared and I poked JPNYC to recreate it. He had updated it when the forum update didn't work but for some reason it didn't seem to take. ;)
I am noticing a significant change in the AO interface. Has the classic appearance been changed on purpose or is this the result of an improper "upgrade"?
Why do you believe it's an improper upgrade? The change is due to the upgrade of the forum that has been going on for the last two days. Given the original source was rather challenging, the upgrade was rather monsterous but mnstgrl (no pun intended) did a great job, IMO.
The old interface was maintained as much as it could be.
I guess if this was the intended outcome then it isn't improper.However, I wouldn't exactly define this as an "upgrade" . It would perhaps be best defined as a "change"
But perhaps we aren't seeing the same thing?
I am not seeing any of the classic features of the site I am used too. When the page loads for me it looks almost like the forum page is loading.
Also my avatar seems to be missing but I have that backed up as instructed.
Where do you adjust your site preferences now?
How do you get things like users online, antipoint center and IMs?
Am I missing something?(besides a few brain cells?)
Site prefs are in the User CP (link near top left). Users online is at bottom of the main forum page, also on the main page of the site. If you check the user CP you'll see lots of things there
Look near the top of this page for User CP (user control panel). You'll be able to adjust avatar, signature, etc. there. :) It is a new look and the upgrade couldn't be done exactly as before. It'll take some time to navigate through things. ;)
Where can I find the announcement about the change?
Unless I'm missing something I don't seem to be able to edit my Avatar.
I click the link & get a box with no facility to add an avatar.
Steve
I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine the security of the familiar and the tranquility of repetition.
Notwithstanding after getting used to the new look, I can say that it is an efficient design. :)

Should be ok now.
Sorry, I've alread added this as a Bug.
I'll remove it of you like.
Steve
S'ok, most of what you'll find wrong or different from the old forum is a setting. I'll be on here all day answering questions and changing settings.
I cant edit my avatar either...
Also...My private messages doubled up....I have copies if the same message marked as unread?
No worries I will clear them ...shows I have 169 unread messages...
and where are the smilies??? ; )
MLF
I guess you killed my Bug Thread...
Thanks
Is it possible to add a link from http://antionline.com/forums.php to get back to just http://antionline.com/ like wise vice versa I couldn't find a direct link from http://antionline.com/ to get to the forums? Apologies if there is one but I couldn't find it if there was.
Good job to whom ever made the changes by the way, initially I found it very hard to navigate around but once I got used to it obviously it was easier, I like it! Nice one!
//I bet who ever done it was crapping themselves in case it all went pear shaped! :D
Just delete the excess PMs, there were such differences between the versions that they had to be imported manually in most cases. Some doubled up.
LMAO! :DQuote:
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to dalek again.
Reputation!! AO is gonna be invaded by hommies looking for some bad ass reputation! :D
Is there a link to subscribe to individual threads still?
Why am constantly getting pages displayed with the Login prompt?
Logon and forum page ..there it is..
hmm not on the post thread page..
OH..and
if in recent post view,, ..antionline.com/index.php I cant bring up the forum view?
phfffft
/edit: After 5 attempts at loging on ..posting this reply was how I managed to get rid of the logon request..
But as I asked.. If I am in the index.php page..recent post view.. and click the Forum Discussions link nothing happens still..the page just refeshes.. I have to manually type the link
Yes, you can subscribe under the Thread Tools dropdown. Not sure which login prompt you mean, but if you're using firefox, it seems to be a problem with that one browser. Not sure why just yet. Try dumping cookies and offline content. If you're not getting the forum login, but some other kind of prompt, then I don't know what it could be.
I don't see a link on the posts where I can assign antipoints.
Is is because I am a Jr member?
If you click on the big "AntiOnline" icon on the top left of the page it will take you back to antionline.comQuote:

I think you need at least 10 posts to give APs.
Thank you very much! I will now add to your bad ass reputation by enlisting the help of little green dots :DQuote:

Actually..the scale does show up. I just wasn't processing why it was there
hey folks,
The new page was a bit shocking..to say the least. however probably like everything..i hope these are teething troubles.
some of the links in the site menu are down (newsletter, IP locator, top links list etc) and are giving 404 errors. not good for a site as old and as reputed as ao.
i find almost two of everything crammed on the front page. Two search forum links (one animated). While quick links is offering me everything that is already available elsewhere on the frontpage realty! Im talking about buddy list, UCP, PM's etc! Prolly, if there was less duplication, it would decram the whole place..
I miss the Last Reply Link.
Stats Box could do with some more stats apart from the Top Poster. It looks a bit flat!
I don't think that that particular stat is going to change even after a long time! :D@nihil
Virus Updates is missing it's yellow box and looks out of place.
There are two logout buttons! and Two Login Boxes! Fo wha?
AO Addicts Forum? Home Page Link while browsing Forum?
Is it possible to replace the word reputation with AntiPoint/s? Just for old times sake? Its also less funny!
:)
Is there a way we can 'Mass Delete" the duplicate PM in our Inboxes?
Cheers:
Each section has a check mark box, if you check it all the PMs in that section will be checked. Then choose delete from the drop down.
