Admin Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Welcome back, gang. I hope you like what you see. RWG's new look will "hopefully" provide better readability and a "cleaner" look. Personally, I love the new skin Rules We are as of now removing the 12 dealer maximum rule. This is purely done because of the low activity in the dealer section. We want active dealers here at RWG and not just dealers posting the news on their website. Because of this we will also concider removing inactive dealers and their review areas. The dealers will also receive a new special package. More info about this will be posted for the dealers. This includes access to professional support centre where they can follow up all e-mails, all posts made in dealer area will automatically be imported to TRC, etc. We will also be loosening up on the "no sex"-rules we have here. No pornography will be allowed, but since we are reopening the looney bin, we will alow people to post pictures cointaining nudity in this area ONLY. Let this be a warning to all of those who consider entering the looney bin while whey bare at work or they have people who can see their computer screen. We wil still not accept any nudity or sexual content in avatars and signatures. Administration We will be adding more moderators and admin members to our team in the next few days. More news on this later General board changes Members are now allowed to use bigger avatars; 250x250 pixels is the maximum size. 250kb is the maximum filesize you can upload as your avatar. Apprentice member group has been removed. All apprentice members have been automatically upgraded to members. VIP and members are the only two member groups we now have. Forum changes Miss understood has gone missing..... Member interviews is a new forum in the RWG lounge The RWG support forum has been merged with the Introduction/rules forum. Photo gallery and photography has been merged into 1 forum Test forum has been moved to the Off-topic section Looney bin has re-opened. Technical updates Forum software has been upgraded to latest version, including all security fixes. We will be introducing a new article system for the members. This will be a handy tool for some of our excellent reviewers and writes to write articles instead of posts We are also introducing a new image hosting system. This is similar to the other off-site photohosting services and will offer easy uploading of images and qick access to posting them. This feature will only be available to VIP members We have a new upgrade system in place. Please contact me via PM or e-mail admin@rwg.cc for more details. We now have a brand new contact us-form that all members can use if they have problems. All support and help requests will be handled through this form You like sudoku? Well, we now have our very own RWG Sudoku game installed. You can find in in the links on top of the forum. You can play three levels; easy, medium and hard. You can also choose to time your game and compete for the fastest time with the other members New PM indicator - You will now see both how many new PM's you have and how many unread PM's you have. Who read my topic - This function will allow you to see who has read the topic you have posted. All readers will be added to the bottom of your topic. There are still many things that I have not gotten round to updating, but this will be done over the next couple of days. I hope you enjoy the changes that have been done and as I said, there is more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRG Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Early days I know but I really don't like the new layout, it dosen't seem to format correctly on-screen, the older layout was much clearer and easier to view IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Looks good. I'll need some time to get used to the new format, but the wider galleys mean I'll be upping my picture size to 800px wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think the new skin is great. It reminds me of some green pillows my wife made. I am very tired of blue skins. Any time I set up a new computer one of the first things I do is change the color scheme. The text font needs tweaking, though. I find message body text harder to read. Perhaps I can tweak this on my end. Otherwise I hope you can make some simple administrative changes to improve message font readability. As an experiment, here is the same text in black: I think the new skin is great. It reminds me of some green pillows my wife made. The text font needs tweaking, though.

KB Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well personally I think it looks great and all the added extras are really fantastic Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 like everyone said, it will take a bit to get used to the new skin, but i think it looks nice. one small thing that is very appreciated is the title of the start page (www.rwg.cc/members) -- RWG is much less obtrusive than having Replica Watch Group pasted across the top of each new window (especially when at work ) many thanks to admin for all the hard work you do to keep this site in tip-top shape deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pix Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hi, looks good. Well, I liked the other layout too.. Which I will have to get used to are the members profiles on the top of each post (mixing with the conversation). I preferred them on the left. On the other hand, we have more room for our pics, that's true As for the rest, I have to explore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Also, it is "wierd" to get a new skin and the old one was usually "better", but I think that after spending a few hours with the new skin, you'll feel right at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkerouac Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Font size adjusted Thanks very much. Even that small adjustment really is better. Please take a look at the color samples I added as well. The current blue does not stand out as well, in my opinion. By the way, I really appreciated your status reports during the upgrade. The professional and friendly way you administer the board is one of the key features that make this board great. We all owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

jkerouac Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 What color samples and what blue colour? I added some color samples to my first message. Message text for me appears in blue. I went back and added copies in black and in red. I am using the MeanGreen skin and think it is great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 loony bin isn't going to be in New POsts is it? that gets annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I am using the MeanGreen skin and think it is great. I went with Mean Green for a while, but now I'm on WorkSafe (boring, no avatars). I PREFER BLUE! T, please add a MeanBlue skin, plllllllease.

kasigi Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well it's not bad but I think the avatar resizing is a BAD move. The avatars can now be huge and will take silly amounts of time to load, even on a decent connection. 250x250 is immense for an avatar. I feel that signatures have always been too large here and now so are avatars. So. I'm off to the control panel to see if I can turn them off.
