I got demoted.

Strange thing happened. Ever since the site changed its look, I went from Staff Sergeant to Sergeant. What I do?
 
My user name changed and my post count went to zero, been here since 06. Odd...
 
I miss being able to watch chat and read the posts, messaging is kind of fubared, ooohh well its franks site.Oh and Reply goes to quick reply, no place to post pics.Hope and change.......what ever.
 
Agreed, post count to zero..that is cold. I guess I should feel fortunate I only lost about 50 or so.

As for watching chat and reading posts, just have two windows open???
 
I will probably get flamed but shit happens, I think the change is for the best, pages load much faster and I have not run into the site is to busy to respond error since the change.
 
I lost 1500-ish posts but it's growing pains and shit happens so who gives a fuck. The chat room thing is pretty cool too and I'm still trying to figure out all these new buttons and options.
 
OH NO!! My penis has shrunk 2 inches. I have been bumped from Master Sergeant back to Gunny. Whatever will I do?:rolleyes: So glad we have an eyeroll emoticon now, I would gladly trade my rank to roll my eyes.
 
I lost mine also,I think it transfered the posts from my original user name as I was re-named the old name I used when I first opened my account. I lost everything under my new name.(This is just a guess),Has any of the others that lost posts changed your user names over the years?
 
I lost over 1100....and a couple of stripes! LOL! I think I'll survive. I do NOT like the channges to the board however. Much preferred the old look.
 
Eh, I prefer the enlisted side anyway. Over 2000 words of wisdom lost.... Who am I kidding, if I had wisdom my name would be Major 0811
 
This site is not nearly as easy on the eyes as the old color scheme. All this white is to harsh.
Just a minor observation.

The skin will be changed and more will be added. It just takes time. The admins have a major undertaking on their hands, to say the very least. UBB hasn't released a software update for several years, creating a major security issue.

As time goes on, you'll come to appreciate vBulletin so much more than the UBB stuff that we've transitioned from. There's so many features and functionality that UBB didn't and most likely, never would've had.
 
Hmmmm, BAMF...also known as Big Assed Marine Female ;)

Cigar envy? :D
 
^ NICE!

So you don;t like the name/rank thing...damn, I gotta explain everything to GT86's don't I? Ah well, been doing it for long enough anyways, so here goes:
Look up way high to the top right for MY PROFILE. Click that
Look at your SN(SCREEN NAME YOU GRABASTIC MAGGOT!) and scroll down until you see the little pencil. CLICK THE DAMN PENCIL MAGGOT!
Now look at the left side and scroll down to MY SETTINGS.
Now LOOK HARD AT THE MENU FOR EDIT YOU worthless grabastic shit eating turd. You need mroe help now? DO YOU MAGGOT? Just begin, smoke yourself until I start to sweat!
 
I haven't noticed if I got demoted or lost posts, but it won't matter much to me unless I got knocked down to zero and want to sell something. But it won't be too difficult to get another 100 decent posts if that does happen.

But I have noticed that anytime I click on a thread it always goes to the first page, unlike on the previous site where it would go to the last page in the thread that I had read. Anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it? even though it is only a minor inconvenience.

Also, my display name changed to my login name..

I guess just some time messing with (and finding) settings should fix most of the minor differences.
*Edit: I think I lost about 50 posts. No big deal.

*Edit #2: I now see that to change the display name all you do is go to your profile settings.

Click on the little blue icon to the left of the thread title and it will take you to the first unread post.

Hey Switch. Be nice. Maggots need love too.
 
You think you were confused? I was serving a temporary suspension when everything changed. Lucky for me I didn't lose anything I guess. Never drink and shout-box...
 
I have been messing with my settings all day yesterday and can't figure this out.

Right after the switchover all was well, then I loved in yesterday and the way I am viewing threads is FIBAR. When I go to a thread the username and avatar is on top, then location and post count are above the thread itself.

Could I be directed to the setting to change it so someones username and info is to the left of the screen and their posts are to the right?

Thanks
 
You might try thread display option under general settings. Although I tried each option and none of them produced results you described.
