I'm not to keen on the new look of these forums, it'll take a while for me to get used to the look of it as i really liked the old style PESInsight. But i've noticed a few little things that the old site never had which are quite handy. But if all this merging means that Hitman can keep the site going then thats fine by me. :)

Thats good to hear! This new forum has a lot of good improvements but I'm not too keen on the colour scheme.

What are the bars with lit up squares under our names hitman? Is it something to do with number of posts?

I never noticed them, i'm only 2 dots away from filling it, what happens then?

there are 10 rank images in total.

once it his filled, it will flash... this is one step away from solid filled in with red dots.... i dont expect we will see anyone for looooong time with this rank image.

I like the colour bar that hitman has.
Any chance someone else can get that too?

hitman how many posts I need to get the 4th one coloured? (don't laugh if I need too many)

yes the old style is now back. it isnt perfect because of the way the new forum software is set up, i couldnt make it look exactly the same as before. but its certainly just about as close as i can get it :)

and i believe you need 100 posts fordfocus

Yeah, I'm using the old look at the moment, but it is still the same layout mainly. :(

I know I shouldn't post it here but I don't know where to post it. there is a green box next to my posts number and when I put the cursor no it it says "fordfocus is on a distinguished road". what that means?

Any way to fix it so the signature picture works again?

Paul B

12-08-2003, 09:37

Yeah, what's happened to the pics in our sigs?

ford focus i can answer part of your question, that green quare is your reputation points to give someone else reputation points u need to click the mans face that is on the left of the edit/reply buttons, i don't know why it says what it says though

In this thread, only Rjs37, hitman and fordfocus are "on a distinguished road".

(Is it yellow and bricked by any chance?!)

i think having the two forums (old xflare and this one) on the same domain, pesinsight.com, is causing some problems. i will be moving the real evomed to its new url soon. pesinsights forum will stay here for a while though until i can merge the forums.

and if any of the above is confusing too you.... sorry :)

well them reputation points have gone already lol, oh well, on xfn the only poeple that had more than one square were admins as they boosted their own and I had like 30 points instead of 10 liek now and it hadn't gone to a 2nd square :(

I like the new look but will it be changing again? And although I normally shy away from all that malarkey is there a like thread to tell you how everything works? What is this "linear", "hybrid" and "threaded" stuff (I can guess) but an explanation of all the new stuff would be nce. Like the status bar thing too.

rebusrahman i am guessing everything is going to change as the arrows on the right of the screen at the top say temporary so i guess somethings changing.
