We do still have multiple URLS, but they are all forced to http://theholo.net as soon as you navigate anywhere on the page. My old relative URL forum tricks don't work in this vB version. Quick account Switch will have to suffice for now.

The new mobile style is pretty snazzy, but I admit it'll take me a few days to get used to. One thing I noticed right off the bat is that I can now see images in mobile. Also I have a lot more options than I did in the previous one.
One thing that I like is that if I really feel like it, I can switch to the other stylesets which I couldn't do before.
I'm looking forward to flattening and inverting the colors on the mobile style set.
Oh dear.
I will work on Spoiler tags soon! I know they are broken in all styles.
The mobile style is snazzy.
Had a play with the tags, and they look pretty useful. I can see it being helpful when we're doing arcs like the Dan/s'Il stuff and the Vanguards arc, or with groups like Rogue Squadron, Shadow Squadron, the Novgorod, etc: you'll be able to click on the tag and find all the other threads that have been tagged to match it, which is probably easier than trawling through forums or search results.
We're only able to add two tags, though. Is that a changeable setting within the software, or is it set in stone?
It's like that, and that's the way it is.
A new thread starter can use 5, replies can add 2. It can be changed, but its probably bad practice for some reason I am currently not aware of.Originally Posted by Captain Untouchable
I have no issues to report - just wanted to comment on how amazing it looks so far!
"Computer, coffee, hot. In a cup this time!"
Spoiler BBCode has been fixed and is now working just like it did in the past.
Worship the simplicity.
Bummer!!! Spoiler text is displayed in the Activity stream....gotta figure that one out.
This is only possible through the New Thread screen (you can't retroactively add 2+ tags in by editing the first post), which could be a problem. it's very easy to have a brain fart and forget your tags before you hit post: I imagine you're only option if that happens is to nag admins to change things in the admin cp or what have you, which could end up happening often.
I am of the opinion that a new feature that we did just fine without in the past does not need its default settings changed at this time.
If you click on a poll in order to look at who has voted on what option, the names will not be displayed correctly. On IE you see them written on top of each other. I have not checked on this in Firefox. I have this bug in the Euro Nerd Poll Thread.
*shrug* It was just a harmless suggestion. Seems a shame to have a new feature and not make the most of it.
Default vBulletin options are generally set for good reason and make features perfectly usable. For a feature that no one is really familiar with or has even used extensively, I think it best to stick with the default. When we have multiple people stating a change needs to be made and actual proof the change is needed, I will reconsider.
We will investigate. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Apparently the issue only appears on the IE at work. My IE at home shows it fine.
Issues like you describe can often be caused by a non standard size of zoom level within the browser. To adjust the zoom Level in IE hold CTRL and roll the mouse wheel up and down.
I'm having an issue with the Blues styleset, whereby on the main forum listing the 'new post' icon (that looks like a speech bubble) overlaps with the first few letters of the forum name.
This happens even if I zoom out on my browser (Google Chrome)
Hold the shift button and press the F5 key to load the new icons. You have the old icons cached. The icons on the main forum listing should be the old yellow and white light bulbs, which are much smaller.
Aha!thanks
