YoungCR Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Tell me what you think! This is just the beginning of the new and improved WI BIMMERS. The transition process was relatively easy and trouble free with the exception of the profile pictures. Respond with any issues/concerns or questions about the new forum software. If something is missing or not working let me know. It is pretty similar to the old vBulletin setup though.I'm gonna keep the old forum up for about a week incase we need to transfer anything such as missing data. The old forum is accessible here. I'll also be starting a blog in the morning that will showcase whenever we update the site or add a new feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 In all honesty? It looks really cheap and chincy on a computer. The version when I viewed it on my phones, was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Starquestclub.com changed to this a few months back. The mobile view is great, but the console version isn't as aesthetically pleasing as before. I wish the new content button was more like the old What's New button. It works though=) I read every post that happens on this site=( I'm a sad sad man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm gonna be working on custom themes for us. Really one of the major reasons for the switch because its based on html/css One of the bike forums i use alot switched to this layout a while ago, good to see wibimmers has a similar layout, after getting use to it, its way better. waiting for different themes, the colors are super similar on my screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I keep looking for the Reply button in the bottom right of each post. Its at the bottom of the page, which makes sense. Just gotta get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 How do I change my thread settings? The old forum let me pic how many posts per page I wanted to see. Also, can there be a 'Mark forums read' on the main page? I see each subforum has the button, but not the top level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan... Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Is there any way to make the colors in the thread a bit darker, so its easier to see where one post ends and the next begins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 ANOTHER Groups are gone? No that they were used a whole bunch, well... .no that I used them, but are they hiding somewhere?Yes they are gone. The new software did not have this feature but if it is sorely missed I am able to purchase an add-on to bring them back Is there any way to make the colors in the thread a bit darker, so its easier to see where one post ends and the next begins?I'm gonna start tweaking with the forum theme this week as it seems to be the biggest complaint. I agree it needs more contrast as everything is mostly a shade of light gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
