Berkan Gulen topic has been destroyed by the transfer caused by umlauts i guess

yo rude, what looks terrible compared to the old version?
the blue text or something? because the general interface is kinda the same if you have the r4r theme selected.
anyway please post a list or something of stuff that should be better the ill try to make adjustments. the r4r theme is gonna be available in the 'old' yellow theme as well next week when i get back from NY.

okay, i'll be very honest, and we'll do a group hug together afterwards. but we had a pretty much perfectly functioning forum that was updated obviously without doing any research into what these updates can or can't do (loosing posts, half the new functions not working, etc), without consulting anyone else here (moderators, etc), and even without notifying the users. as a result a lot of posts are gone and there are a heap of problems you, i admit, solved well so far. i hope its a lesson for the future to not just do unproperly researched updates on your own. also dont update unless you have actual time to act quickly if things are not okay, because obviously it will never be perfect the first time.

if i see the forum 5 or 6 times and every time sonething else is wrong or not working, the 7th time i'll do something else.
the blue text is a pain to read, and the yellow theme has black letters on a dark grey background which is unreadable. also the bold letters for new subjects were a good way of seeing what is new in a quick glance, that seems to be gone too. somehow much easier then the squares. there are also much less subjects under each other on a screen, is the spacing bigger between subjects or something? and a lot of times the first time i open the forum in my browser (firefox 3.5.8) itr looks weird, almost like in text mode..letters way too big, in orange.. then if i re-open its back to normal.

ugh, and that security token shit is still there..

rant mode off, now lets hug..

Stentec, don't you think that after a month of scatered links, its about fucking time all the youtube and other video embedding should be fixed? It's still shit (meaning it doesnt work) and have a hard time understanding why you dont seem to be bothered at all by that. A lot of vids are being posted on this forum, so set the standard back to what it once was. Now its just ridiculous..

So you agree there shouldn't be any major problems anymore?

true that. ask not what your forum can do for you. this is R4R after all.

@Stentec  i reckon its about time i said huge thanks for all your work, i love the forum. and, i'm very very grateful to all you robots for sharing    

oh and the mercury is ace, much easier to read for longer 

I could have put hours in figuring out how to implement that video-embed after it didn't work after a few tries.
My knowledge of php is close to nothing and I can't bother to put a lot of work in learning that stuff for a free forum.
After all I have busy life with school, my own company, a girlfriend and my passion for music. Also take into account that after having a message on the frontpage for 9 days only ONE forumuser offered help with the video-embed. Eventually I'm sure it will work but I don't know when.

can't we just go back to the way it was?

ah well.
