Hey all, welcome to the new Halo Babies forum!

First off, if you experience glitch or any other forum issues, please post them here. Thanks!

So this is the new forum system. It's quite magical. Seriously though, there are a ton of new features. A TON. Unfortunately, most of them are on the end that only admins can see... plenty of upgrades to better control and manipulate the masses! BWUAHAHAHA!

*cough*

So anyways here are a few things to keep in mind...

- this is PHASE 1 of the forum upgrade. as in, this is all i had time to do before i went off and got hitched. new graphics and such will be coming soon. in fact, there may be a way to submit user templates that can be used by all... hmmm... ;)
- things like your User Control Panel WILL take a long time to load... the first time. several other things are like this too, so please be patient. over all the board should be speedy once you've been on it for a bit and all your lovely browser caches are updated.
- there are plenty of new features to check out, so feel free to play around with your user settings ("friends or foes" anyone? eh?)
- things will not be perfect. this is literally brand new forum technology. in fact, this isn't even the final release. it's the pre-gold release, which is almost as good. i'll update to the final version when it comes out.
- our staff will be working hard to maintain normalcy here, especially when i'm gone. please respect them and be on your best behavior! :)

If other staff members want to add anything to this, please feel free. I'm off to bed. It's late, and I have a wedding to be at! :D

Very nice, very nice :)

This version runs ALOT smoother than the previous one, a bit harder for me to read than the old because the higher contrast isn't there, but I can assume this is just a layout that's here temporarily

As a suggestion, is there a chance we could perhaps get a flash embed button up there with the img, url, list, code, and quote buttons?

btw, congrats on the marriage! (seriously, you better have some cake left *prays*)

The colors are easier on the eyes, and the avatar thing just throws me for a loop. So strange!

I'm assuming it shouldn't be too tough to change the avatar location. It throws me off too. Something I'll work on when I get back.

Wow, I leave for a day and just LOOK at what happens.

Nice job, smiley. It'll take some getting used to, but I like it.

Ooo...A forum make-over. Neat.

In fact, this is almost the same layout as the other forums I frequent, so I feel right at home. Although, the Avatars being on the right-hand side sure threw me through a loop; thats going to be the first thing to change in my personal settings.

And good luck with tying the knot Smiley. Best wishes to you both.

Woooow, this is so sexy. I guess I could get used to the avatars being on the right but if you're going to change it that'd be kewl too. >_>

THANKS SMILEY

FIX THE AVATAR LOCATION!


*revolution*


Is there also any way to change the color scheme? Not for everyone, just like a personal preference thing. These colors are kind of bright D:

Starting to realize that it's literally impossible for me to tell whether a forum has a new post in it or not, there is so little contrast on all the icons and the likes I can't tell :/

The Little Icon is red if there's a new post

Yeah but Comet is colour blind. He can only see some colours and if they're too similar, they look the same.. if I remember right.
