ANNOUNCEMENT: new upgraded software (aka. YUCK what is this?)

[kwun]

Hi all,

after many years of running the old software, it is time for BC to upgrade to the latest version of the forum software. the new software is much more bug free and provide much more powerful features such as an article/content management system and much more powerful moderation features (so we can ban you even faster when you don't behave. )

there are still tons of work that needs to be done to customize it for BC, so please bear with us.

as a regular member of BC, you will find that it is different yet similar to the old software. i hope the change won't cause much inconvenience for you.

it is still work in progress but do let us know if you run into any issues.

still not yet familiar.
the "today's post" no longer at mid top. it is small at left top.
ehh.... the smileys look very ...... err... not cute

[undeadshot]

It looks nice and all, I will probably get used to it in a week's time, and start to prefer this
A new smiley?
And many cute icons.

[kwun]

please go around and explore the new feature in the new software. please let me know if you see things that look wrong, things that are broken, or thing that shouldn't be there, or anything else.

many of you will hate it cause it is different than what we had before. but at the same time, many will like it. please bear with us while it is being deployed, it will take some time to transition.

for now. it is 6am and i need to get some sleep.

(okay, jetlag is starting to wear off)..

..what a change!!...i definitely will have to get use to this change..

Some inputs from me:
- The SEARCH feature is now a bit more visible. That is a good improvement.
- Reading & typing the posts is a bit "harder" for me. I don't know, maybe cos the letters & display are smaller/wider than before..
- The smileys. When posting, they're back to normal on the right hand side. But the ones at the bottom are different.
- I haven't tried or experienced the other new features nor seen anything different from the last time..so, can't really say much, yet..

other than those, everything else looks okay..
