Major forum upgrade -- post problems here!

[nightwulf]

I've just completed a major upgrade of the forum software. As I suspected, the forum theme we've been using since the beginning has been officially deprecated. Fortunately somebody made a pretty close version of it which we're now using.

I'll be dicking around with this for a little while longer tonight. Any suggestions for things to change / fix, post 'em here.

The banner at the top looks weird.  Looks its cutting off a line of text.

SPIDERS!

I may have to stop in the greater Cerro Gordo area (named after the Battle of Cerro Gordo) and buy nightwulf some Taco Bell for this one, he did this completely on his own. 

I notice a few spammers already, so I'll lock registration until we can figure out a better way to do that or find a better captcha app.  My work day is pretty busy so I don't have much time after 8:30 to look at things. 

But everyone PLEASE look around and post here with any issues you can find so we can clean up later on.

Ussue #1: Gantry still sucks. 

Please rectify.

[Gantry]

I disabled registration, far as I can tell there is no CAPTCHA setup but I didn't look very hard. 

I switched to the Core theme and it's treating me well.  It's noticably faster at rendering the pages than our usual theme, or was it loading slow only for me?  Try switching and tell me if you notice a speed difference - also a little more polished.

A note for myself more than anything else - look to see if we can add a package that'll force Admin approval for anyone registering from an non-US IP address.

doesn't work

Also a lot of the smilies don't work either

Shooty clearly doesn't work.

Let me clarify.

I was trying out the "Classic" layout theme.  And and other smilies don't work.  And for some reason, the cop smilie changes into a smilie with an afro.

I think he's working undercover

Switched back to the old school theme and POW looked fine to me, also works fine on the Curve theme.

And after switching it's official, the Curve theme is way faster than our normal theme.  I think I'm migrating...

Is this how it is suppose to look, or is it just my outdated browser?
Lots of unnecessary space at the top of each post.
The quote links look weird.

Stock - that looks horrible and is definitely not what I'm seeing when using IE 7.

Giant pictures now have a scrollbar instead of fucking up the entire page --- great job, WARD!

Do Not Like.

That's encouraging.
I can barely read this shit on my work computer.

Some day they will let us upgrade to (at least) 7.

I'd probably rather not use the internet than use an old version of IE

Changes I've noticed (using the default theme, as far as I know, on Firefox 5):

Quotes now have a little quotation mark in front of them
URLs are much lighter in color, a bit hard to see at times
The "general" and "Dee-Nee Forums" links have slightly different destinations now - "General" scrolls down the page to the actual forum links
People with a custom title (e.g. "Not Funny Level") have both that and their default post-based title (e.g. "Reggie Jackson Level") displayed simultaneously, rather than just the custom title
Header is a bit different, without a mention of PMs (although there's a new "messages" link up there for that)
Chat is gone, although I'm pretty sure that was a custom addition by Nightwulf

Other than chat leaving us (which I would assume could be put back in at some point, and I don't know how often it was used anyway), the URL thing is the only thing that I'd consider at all a negative, and it's pretty minor.

Yeah, our IT is awesome.
We all got upgraded to IE7 several months ago, but then we reallized that all of our functionality on our Intranet site was gone, so they downgraded us all back to IE6.
