Upgrading the site...
 

We will soon be going offline to upgrade all the sites software to latest versions and to fix some bugs.... Downtime could be anything upto 4 hours.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Thank you for letting us know Roy, hope it goes well.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Site is now upgraded and has a bit of a new look.. Probably loads of problems, if you have any let me know.....

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

There are quite a few new features, mainly to do with user profiles... Check out peoples profiles and go to your own Profile section to have a look.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

cheers roy, new colour, just glad ya didn't make it "Dingle":D;)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Please can I say!!! I think 60 minute make over have been in and done a bad job :( It doesn't feel like home!!! ok maybe I will get used to it!!!!


Oh I might just go and cry now.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

i dont like it, that brown doesnt go with the red, it looks like (well i cant say it in here) men have no taste whatsoever when it comes to colours, maybe black would go better with this red, the reds a lovely colour

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Just been in the gallery and noticed some votes have been lost for tonights comp, thought people might want to check that their vote hasn't been lost

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Have you missed the icon "navbits_start.gif" roy? At the top, its a blue folder where it displays which part of the forum you're in.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

thought this place was fer having a natter:confused:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

if i dont like the colour of something i wont look at it

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

yeah i had to vote AGAIN for the pic, it wasnt coming up that i'd voted for anyone

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I can't even see any brown! :(


Anyway, I chose a mainly red theme because for so long now we have the accy stanley section and the forum has been blue. Red is Stanleys colour and thats why we are now red..

Still can't see any brown!

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

OH WOW I AINT INVISIBLE THEN
well its brown at the bottom of my screen and brown when the page is changing, yeah i love the red, thats excellent but i can see brown

the quick reply box is brown
the 'other sites of interest' is brown too as is the 'currently active users viewing this thread' box

cant you tell brown from red love? lol

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I can't see any brown, it is red and grey

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I was going to say it sits nice with Stanleys colour of brown...err sorry i mean red, LOL can`t see any brown here either, just one thing why does the screen go black every time i refresh it ....?

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

my screen goes brown when i refresh

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Its' grey and red to me. Try using firefox if you're not already. :)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

definately black for me...........;) well maybe a greyish but NO brown

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

:eek: Oh cashy dont be so mean,,,,,
Its very nice Roy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:hothothot

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

i'm gonna cwy in a minute :(:(:(:( ok other than using firefox how can i change it?

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

pmsl........:D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I dunno - but mine is red and grey :confused:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

sorry Roy i do apologise :(

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Ok I have had a look round!! and it's growing on me now!! I quite like the new deco!! now I have gotten over the shock.

Some nice new features. :D:D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Flashy's just discovered she's colour blind :D
You know all that decorating you done recently, better get a 2nd opinion, might not be the colours you really wanted :D :D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Ok I know I'm a relative newcomer, but the new colour is rather harsh. I'm running Firefox and it is a deep red which shows as a kind of maroon to me.
In short - the blue was better! :D

But first impressions can change so we'll just have to see how things pan out.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

ITS BROWN!!!



SEE

lol

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Wondered where i'd come to at first. Nice and bright, shall get use to it. Thanks Roy.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

No it's same colour as mine. I can actually see why ya think it's brown. It's not actually a bright red, it's a very dark red.... with old eyes it could be mistaken for brown I suppose :D:D:D

:hidewall:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

aint brown here flashy, red n grey.:confused:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

i can see the red lol its just the other colour thats brown

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

The grey on yours is a hell of a lot darker than mine. Mine is a dark grey!! Yours.... well yes, it looks brown :confused:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Hey wheres all my green squares gone, the rep power ones, had loads earlier and some new orange ones, only got 1 green one now - might be blue to you Flashy :)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Nice and RED like everyone elses.......:D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I don't know about it yet. It'll certainly take some getting used to.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

think many forums are the blue we left behind, this is a refreshing change IMHO.:)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Umm no.. thats red... and grey.. :p

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I like it and it's red and grey here !

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

perhaps you need to sort out your graphic settings and upgrade to a decent card :D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

i like it roy, thanks not been round it all yet but got a ten out of ten from me:mosher:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

YIIIPPPPPEEEEE deal or no deal!!!

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

dont get me wrong, i do like it and Roy i aint slating you or anything

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I think the new look is great Roy, theres nothing like a spring clean and spruce up, when you've finished on here Roy you can pop round to my gaff that needs a make over as well:D:p

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

i dont like the upgrade , doesnt feel the same :( Im sure i`l get used to it though i suppose. Theres too many options etc , when before there wasnt and seemed easier to navigate etc. But like the colours :)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Shocked at first, and instant response was I dont like it, but I am now getting used to the new look, nice one roy, oh and flashy, its red and grey hun, your colour settings are out, hehe. :p

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

not bad upgrade

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

more Stanleyfied, I like it - it helps with the brand building!

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

er, I'm not sure. It is a bit 'in your face'.
I DO like the new additions to the arcade though!

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Well I like it so far:alright: . great colours (red and grey ) flashy heehee... put the vodka down girleeeee:D:D

Bit slow on the refresh or is that just me:p

right off to check out the rest of it ..
good job roy xx:):D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I found it a bit of a shock at first, but i think it looks quite good.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Got to agree ,it is a bit slow to refresh.....

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Me too.

I wondered where I'd come to when I first logged in.

I'll have a look round and see what else has been changed on here.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Some great glitches in chat, left and right and him and her are reversed and if you type sex in it comes up chicken !
I kid you not !

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Sounds like that could be fun


Was certainly wide eyed when I saw the change, am sure the colour will grow on me

The new games are ace!!:D

Well, they would be if I could beat that Bagpuss:p

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

LOL.......that could get very confusing. :eek:

Does it work the other way round too?

What if someone mentions chicken soup?

Will that come up as sex soup? :D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

if you type chicken it says chicken, if you type sex it says chicken, very odd.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I love it!

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Not to keen at first as i don't take kindly to change. But must say it's growing on me.
Well impressed with the games.
Nice one Roy.:alright:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

The decorators have done a good job.

Looks good.

Will be even better when there's no smell of new paint.:D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I like the upgrade and colours, well done good choices.

Roy are the profiles an add on to the forum software or part of it.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

The profiles are all part of the software now.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Definately a shock when I logged in but of course I love the new colours.... accyweb, stanley through and through :)

Only downside is it seems to take quite a bit longer to download a page as others have mentioned.

Good on ya though Roy :mosher:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

It is fine except for the slow page load.
It is a bit traumatic when a grey blank page lasts a few seconds.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I like it, Love to know what Mr W, thinks, think he will like it MR C.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I thought i was on the wrong sitee when i logged in!!...love the red, ....and grey:D

goin to get some getting used to though!;)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

have to agree with earlier posters it does seem to be a bit slower , get email alerts about new messages about 2 minutes before the message appears on the site , never seemed to happen before ,
Not complaining , just passing a comment .
appreciate everything you guys do

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Not sure about the grey but I like the Claret ;)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Thought you may have had more to say about the colour Margaret .. red is a hot one ... thought you may have come up with an analysis as to the mood it gives you ... :D

What's Roy gonna' do at Christmas though now ?

Also, in the profile .. it tells you how many visitors have had a nosey at you (haven't had any yet ..'cept meself .. :rolleyes:) Does it tell you who ? ... just need to explain Lancsdave if so .. wasn't stalking, just random chose you to practice on .. ;)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Red ignites passion - but I dont use the web when I have male visitors - so am safe :D
It does clash with the *'Windows classic Rose desktop theme'* I use.

*That is much easier on the eye than harsh windows summer blue

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I can't even see where it says how many people have looked, let alone who it was :)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

HERE look bottom right hand side - recent visitors

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Ha I see now, no friends and 2 spies :D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I will be a friend to you if you need me to be :dummy:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Four spies now:eek:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

FAULT here Roy, just spent 10 mins typing a new thread out, Posted it n was logged out?:confused: dont know why, but sod it.aint typing that lot again.:(

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

That happened before the changes too.
The solution is to compose a post using Wordpad, then copy and paste it into the reply box

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Great Tip Margaret..............:D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

it would be if i knew what Wordpad was:confused: bloody clueless.:D

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Click the 'start' button in bottom left corner, and it should be shown on that list - click it and then it shows you a blank page to compose your post on.
When you have finished composing, choose 'edit', then 'select all', then 'copy'.
You can then open the reply box, right click and 'paste'

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Make sure when you log in you tick the remember me box. If you haven't done that and it takes more than about 10-15mins to write your post then it may lose it. Pressing back on your browser however, should recover it.

And to anyone who is experiencing slowness, it is possibly because you are using internet explorer. The site has lots more graphics now and IE waits till its downloaded everything before displaying things, firefox however show things while its downloading, thus appearing much faster.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

That is good news - I got a Ubuntu disc recently - will give it a go

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I got wise to loosing posts a long while ago, I don't use wordpad or anything but what I do is when I have written a long post I always copy it before posting, if it fails you just need to paste it when you ry again

You don't need Ubuntu to run Firefox, it can be run using windows, download it from HERE

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Thanks for that. Now I have 2 PCs in working order I will risk a bit of such exploration on the older one

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Should we all be using Firefox then...........?

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Well having just come in to the site I must say I like the new look and well done to Roy and whoever helped.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Just got Firefox running - brill - thanks
It makes a big difference

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Great update nice stanleyfied decor, much more homely:D Still trying to get my way around the additions & more games to be naff at :rofl38:

Anymore surprises:eek:

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

LOL K.S.H. You visited, and does show who, unless it is because you left a message. (very gentlemanly in case you lot get going !).

Thanks Shill... for being my friend.

Am doing this through Firefox .. still don't like this browser ... jitterbugs all the time .. my eyeballs are all over the blooming place trying to focus on it. My new wireless mouse is having a wobbler crisis, having to give it electronic therapy. Switching back to Opera.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Phew ... so much better .. much more peaceful.

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I like it .. though still trying to get used to it but that might just be because im using firefox....

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Due to slow load times on the new style I have modified the old blue simple graphicless style and brought it up to date, it is now available if you need/want it. Use the Style Chooser in the bottom left corner or click on this link to go blue http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/index.php?styleid=44

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I've opted to go back to the blue.

A bit more restful on my eyes.:)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I have reverted to the old style too

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

I love a bit of blue...........;)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Roy the page which carry avaters, its says there are 1to6 before the upgrade I could only access pages 1 and 2 now I can get 3 as well but the others are beyond my parameters, any ideas

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

i'm sticking wi the red, quite like it.:)

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Back to blue. Much better. Thanx Roy. xx

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

Staying with red, got used to it now. Thanks for the choice Roy

Re: Upgrading the site...
 

back to blue definately much better . another pleasant night on here with true blue lol..
admitedly dosent look as sexy but sure works a damn site better.
