"The New Forums Are Shit" Mk 2

The new search function is very bad atm.
I tried to search up simple words like mouth f. ex. No results.
Searched up Uveto. Only got the thread. I did not have the "titles only" box checked btw.
For the heck of it I searched up ping. Only got an user by that name.
And I only got 13 results by searching tits. This is heresy
You get the gist. Bad search function is bad.

Yay, BBCode is back and theres a button to switch between WYSIWYG and plaintext.
Look down at the bottom of the page; there should be a row of controls on the left.
The two arrows pointing at each other switches between fluid/fixed width.
The next box along lets you jump to different skin sets (although theres only the default at this UI.X skin).
The next two are more interesting though; the AD styler will let you select whatever the hell colours you want for yourself, and the skin has a couple of built in variants ready to go. If you don't like the colours, then you can change them to what you want.
Not sure if it's because I'm using a TV instead of a monitor, or maybe even my scaling options, but now it's a bit too narrow. What's the max width for fixed?
Only the preset skin switch is displayed for me, for some reason. Right after I refresh a page, I can see a glimpse of the other two, but then they just vanish.

Only because that option hasn't been removed yet. "@" tagging does work.
Miss the smugdog smiley though.
Do not fucking abuse it or I'll figure out how to disable it again. This is exactly why I disabled it on IPB in the first place.
I never cared about the old smilies anyway. I do however anticipate this one being used for every promising new game that shows up.

That was in the old smilies pile, it made the switch over like some of the other ones did.
Rainbow text should be limited to people with 2k posts or more. c:
EDIT: Any possibility of lowering the flood limit to, say, 5 seconds for more senior members? It's like, what, 30 seconds right now?

Oh, we're now on this forum system too. I've seen it quite a bit around the web. Best version off the top of my head has been the Paradox forums.
Only problem I've seen so far that hasn't been mentioned on here yet is that it seems that signatures seem to be disabled by default due to being collapsed. There are two options that both seem to disable them, one is to enable them (in options) and the other collapses them (in style options). Both essentially seem to turn them off, though the second one being on by default hides them.

So, it turned out that the shiny new editing function everyone including me was so happy about doesn't exist for messages in conversations. What's up with that?

Yep you're right it is the same forum system as the Paradox ones, the emote smilies are the same too! Though the like system reminds me more of the one from the AlternateHistory forums, since the Paradox one has 3 different ratings to give a post (Like, Dislike, and Helpful)
Me neither. Krynh is probably right, but why did Gedan advocate it to us simple forum folks? Also I do not like the new "titles" (I dunno what else to call em) for post count because mine just reminds me that I am well known for being a stupid jerk. And why are all the smileys so shiny? I don't like that either.
I can learn to live with the smileys I guess. But I hope this forum type can be set up with custom "titles". By that I mean the moderators can create basic, when you´ve reached so and so post count get this title. Well known member doesn´t necessarily equal a high post count
