Looks pretty good, and a lot faster to loadup here.

At one time you made a change so that the 'mini popup review' for each thread would only showup when you rolled over the actual link. Now it's back to showing up any time you are anywhere in the box. Could you go back to the 'rollover on link only' if it's not too much problem?

Also I just noticed that here in the reply window that some smileys are missing = Mad!, = Big Grin = Rolleyes!, = Wink, = Frown, = Confused

Also I'm using IE7 at 1024x768 and with the font SIZE at largest, the right side of the 'smily area' is cutoff. If I drop the SIZE down to smaller or smallest it comes back into view. That's ok for the 'Kids' I guess, but some of us 'Old Farts' need the larger size

Maybe this is just a temporary problem, but only the default theme is working. I always use MidnightHeaven

When I came in it was on the default, but I just went to the bottom of the page and changed to BlueHeaven, and I'm using it now, and when I made the last post.

Midnight should be selectable from the style menu, if you're on the index and it's giving you 404 make sure you put index.php before the "?styleid=61" seems to be an issue with the rewriting software.

As for broken images i'm still waiting for the domain to fully propogate so I'm getting issues here and there, once it's fully working I'll troubleshoot any missing icons and such, altho the smileys are appearing for me.

Thanks

I had to change to one of the older styles due to one little but annoying thing. The colour of threads that have new posts is too similar to those that don't. It requires extra effort for me and I just can't be arsed to.
Speed wise is fine.

Not all the smilies are showing up. I'm seeing maybe 80% of them and others are just place holders. Using Midnight Heaven theme if that helps any.

Craig, if you go to the options just below the second AD, and select SEARCH, the AD takes priority over the search input. We had a similar situation previously. Any corrections in sight?

EDIT: BTW, that's from within the Forums and the Forums listing.

Guys... love the multi-quote option. Brilliant idea. That one bloody button saves me a ton of copy/pasting, and a crap load of organizing quotes and responses in the right order. I mean, all I do is click on the multi-quote button for each post I want to quote, and in the order I want them to be in, then hit quote on the final one, and bam.. it's all taken care of.

Whomever came up with that one give yourself a pat on the back.

CDs: Look in your profile options, I had the default theme selected after the upgrade and I had to change it back to Midnight.

Nice upgrade altogether.

I liked the colors of the old Cyborgheaven skin.

I was going to mention some remaining slowness likely related to page layout based on my experience yesterday, but right now everything loads fast. Knock on wood.

What theme do you have selected in the user CP? Like I said a few posts earlier I've had the same theme problems and I fixed it by setting back the Midnight theme in the User CP - options (it was reset to default after the upgrade). Maybe this will fix it for you too.
(I did not delete any cookies )

I only deleted the one cookie - and it worked fine for me... ??? same exact symptom.

I had tried this and it didnt work... it always went back to the default skin.

edit:
Maybe an ad blocker is now interfering - or cookie saving *was* enabled when first visiting DH - then turned off, possibly.. ??
