Uhhh, which new board? The php one or the Invision one? So far, I like the phpBB much better.

Be sure to try out all the skins and features. Some skins work better with some browsers and you will have to play around to discover the one that works best for you.

This new board is based on the same principle as the other but allows for greater control in the daily workings. I know it's tough to jump around from one to another but this one is a definite improvement featurewise and we hope ultimatey a bit of a speed boost. Of course until we totally convert we won't know for sure.

Go play...

"This new board is based on the same principle as the other but allows for greater control in the daily workings."

Which is which when you're referring to "new board" and "the other" Krissel?

Sorry to make things even more confusing.

UBB is the present board where this post sits.
The phpBB board is the one we set up a couple weeks ago.

The "new" board is Invision and is the one to which I was referring in my previous post as having more features and ease of use from the administration point of view. The phpBB was so convoluted I spent days shaking my head trying to figure out where anything was located.

At least with the Invision (IB) Board there is a structure that makes a bit of sense. Still a pain to work with compared to straight html files but manageable.

My first impression of the Invision board was that it looked like Windows XP.

Hence, I'd prefer a different skin.

But I bet you guys are already working on it, right?!

Spartacus, Right you are re the new skins. Just click on "My Contols" and then in the next window, on the lower-left, under the heading of Options, is the link for "Skin & Languages." At present, there are seven different skins. Enjoy!

I just went to the Invison board and I don't like the looks of that one at all.

I was talking about this one:

I went to the Invision board and tried the TS Special skin which was the only one I liked.

I still like the phpBB board better.

Had a feeling that was what you were talking about Krissel.
Thought I'd better ask just in case.

Gary:  What don't you like about IB (the new? new) vs the PHP board?  It may be something we can tweak.

Cause, I've gotta tell ya, it's a whole lot simpler for the admins....

I like to TS Special skin.  

I didn't like these   icons too much, though...

I've posted some thoughts about the Invision board, mostly what I didn't like about it. But nothing was so bad that I coulnd't live with it. Especially if it is easier for the admins.

Biggest complaint was the skins available, I too ended up with the TS special. Is it possible to allow some of our graphics experts to create the parts. I suspect it is basically a collection of parts (mostly corners, lines, etc.), some of which are stretched as needed. I assume that bckground colors and boxes are done in the CSS.

Anyway, I can live with either. And I think the ease maintenance factor should be the deciding one.

Jennie,

No big deal. I could live with either.    

The other one was easier on my eyes or something. I don't know.

But really, it doesn't matter. What ever is easier for you guys!
