WTFDetroit's new look (Feedback/questions go here)

[The Syndicate]

As of Tuesday morning (4/25/06) we're approximately 90% done with our upgrade. We say 90%, because there are bound to be some wrinkles here and there we need to address.

Everyone needs to re-post their avatars. Currently we are set up to allow you to upload them from your computer to WTFDetroit.com's server, but that may change at some point.

We're working on getting the default time set to EST, but in the meantime, you can fix the time of day for where you are in your profile settings, now under "User CP".

Also, please bear with us while we work on restoring access to several "Areas". You can rest assured that we're not just sitting back drinking "Champagne", we're working on it.

If I point to a URL that has my avatar (vs. uploading from my local laptop), and click on "Save Changes", I get:

Remote file uploads have been disabled.

Change is frightening. Also, WHERE THE HELL IS "View posts since last blah blah blah" ?

We're working on that right now. The mods that they have out right
now are virtually unknown and just trying them out is a little crazy.
Who knows what the consequences would be at this point.

Hang tight though. We'll get it done.

We'll have to install that feature. I like that shit.

In the meantime, there's a View Today's posts under the Quick Links above.

To be honest, the layouts cooler, but for some reason, it looks smaller in a way.

once I adjust to this, it will kick some ass.

I guess we have to wait on the emoticons?

This is kinda cool:

How do I rate a thread?

You may find a small menu on thread pages which allows you to 'rate this thread' with a number between 1-5.

Casting a vote for threads you view is entirely optional, but if you think that the thread is superb, you might rate it as a 5-star thread, or if you think that it's unspeakably dismal, you might choose to rate the thread with a single star.

Once enough votes have been cast for the thread rating, you may see a set of stars appear with the title of the thread in the thread listings. These stars reflect the average vote cast, and can allow you to quickly see which threads are worth reading if you are on a very busy forum with a lot of threads.

Lots of interesting features explained in the FAQ.

Not a biggie -- just letting you know since it was strange.

If you upload the avatar from your local system, it seems to work ok (though my transparent GIF of an avatar isn't so transparent anymore, it seems).

It'd be nice if the skyline image wasn't quite so dominating. It takes up 40% of my laptop's display when I click "reply"

Scroll to the bottom of the page to where it says "Smilies are on".

If you click on the word "smilies" you'll see the whole menu of emoticons.

It is a little smaller. It doesn't stretch across the entire screen.

Also, the emoticons are there homie.[smilie=lbjapan.gif]
