... so far, so good.

Nice!

Nice.

Quote and edit buttons would be better if they were smaller and up near the "#3" and date.

Good work though. It does look a lot like the old layout.

Jeff I had 9,777 posts what happened?

It's so....cluttered.

It's so....cluttered.

It's infinitely better than it was when he first unveiled it.

And you can finally do this!

Also: 10 replies per page is _pathetic_.

Jeff, I must say you did a fine job making it look the old UBB version. It's going to be a little difficult getting use to the reply/new topic fields and other things but all in all, great job.

For those that want to go back to UBB, FUCK OFF! Change is good, and we needed it :D

EDIT: Um, it fucked up my post count. I'm not mad, I just thought I would let you know. If you could fix it, it was something along the lines of 5,018 :D

... so far, so good.
Jeff, thank God. Bravissimo! I am very pleased with the new setup.

Nice! it may take my eyes a little getting use to, but nice work!

My God. I never thought I would live to see the day.

OMFG, well done Jeff!

you've done a really good job, but could [IMG] be turned off, to avoid the goatseage please?

This... is awesome.

Can we change it back now? Its too confusing, and it scares me a little that totse is actually... with the times. Im so confused... so horribly confused. :/

It now lacks the comforting face of totse that i have grown to know and love.

This is fucking sweet Kick fucking ass. Thank you jeff. Also haha we can see when you are online. Unless you choose to hide your online status. Also thanks so much. I'm twitching I'm so happy

Nice work Jeff.

Well done Jeff Hunter!
I really like the new layout. Everything new takes a bit to get used to, but I am already getting warmed up to it. If you ask me, the basic layout is done and all that is left is minor cosmetic changes to please the bastards of Totse.

Peace.

Stop kissing so much ass.
gh3y.

Nice mother-fucking job, buddy!

Also, my post count was about 2970, could you fix please?

Thanks :)

†Jesus†

Holy batshit.

I made a few posts within about an hour before the switch. Will these posts be replicated on the new BBS?

Wow, this is different.. More replies per page would be neat and I have already seen people posting gay sehks images :( but the layout looks perdy. Also, it says that the last time I visited was 1970.. I wasn't even a fetus then! Anyway, I can get used to it :)

Wootage

Wow, this will take some getting used to. Im kind of liking this new bulletin board though.

It's about fuckin' time!

But seriously, I personally like the changes very much. Thanks for all the work you've put into it.

Can we some how make it so you can't post images. I really don't like the feel of it and it just looks really bad. :(

I am very surprised to see it finally happening. Thanks Jeff and ignore all the "haters", but I'm sure I don't need to tell you that.

Please make the names smaller. They are extremely distracting.

Can we some how make it so you can't post images. I really don't like the feel of it and it just looks really bad. :(

At the top of your screen click on "User CP" and then on the menu to the left select "Edit Options". There is a section called "Thread Display Options" where you can turn off images. :)

Please make the names smaller. They are extremely distracting.

I actually think they are harder to read now. When I am posting in a thread, I rather liked the ability to look to a special column on the left for the username.

I guess you can't make everyone happy all of the time.

In short, it still looks a hell of a lot better than it did, Jeff, and we'll get used to the new interface.

P.S. The text editing capability is just....*quivers* I am beyond ecstatic. Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this upgrade !!!!!!!!!! *stabs tags in the eye*

Also: 10 replies per page is _pathetic_.

So is the inability to figure out how to edit your own preferences.

It is pretty kickass I guess. I'll have to get used to it.

Thanks Jeff the new Forum is A o kay

Sweet, bout time. We got PM?

No. Dammit.

My only issue is that it wont work with lynx browser just so well, but you've done an impressive job getting the old system working with this, good stuff.

So is the inability to figure out how to edit your own preferences.

Neat.

Looks snazzy.

Oh yes...

I really don't like the feel of it and it just looks really bad. :(
What the fuck is this 'Your message is too short

I like it but i don't it is pretty cluttered with some useless functions and some stuff that regular members should not have access to and it looks like you have used the full user db rather then the pruned db of inactive members if im not mistaken as well as last visit for some reason is all defualted to 1970-01-01 at 00:00

i like the merge thread as well thats a handy function but i must agree new is well hard to accept scary part was i was reading the FAQ about the switch and went to my thread and was replying then boom it's all like click here

i do agree on this

Jeff, my offer still stands to de-clutter the theme back to the UBB style. Email me if you're interested. (As mentioned before, I created the phpBB skin for www.notse.net)

Jeff, my offer still stands to de-clutter the theme back to the UBB style. Email me if you're interested.

Do eeeett.

I'm not liking it :S

I'm noticing some stability errors, Jeff. I'll try to load a new section or even change topic and the thingie will die on me and read a 404 page.

Not quite 100% yet, but it should be ready by Thursday at the latest.

Just be careful with the full loads.

-Dust

Ed: A few things:

-The "join date" might have to go, just a way of comparing E-penis size.

-"Reason for Editing" stuff. Not sure how that's going to work yet.

-Names are too big, the old system was MUCH better.

-"Add to user's reputation" is going to get nasty when all the kids in Spurious and Half Baked get to it. Guaruntee you'll see "add to my reputation" threads every day.

-Private message stuff is a good idea, but get ready for hell...

-The links at the top of the page are excellent though, very helpful.

Otherwise, some good, some bad, mostly meh. I'll get used to it.

Jeff can you fix this?

Everytime I see all the threads messed up I have to hit "Last post" to assort them every single time I enter any forum.

Thanks for the teal color.

☺~Dfg~☺

*crys* i miss the old totse, this totse just feels so generic.

There's only 2 threads in NS&H. What's going on there?

FLRX

Overtime this is going to be fucking great.

Jeff can you fix this?

Everytime I see all the threads messed up I have to hit "Last post" to assort them every single time I enter any forum.

Yeah I'm having to do that, fucking annoying.

This is awesome.

Can I have my username changed to Tostitos?

Actually I think thats might be the accounts of those who tried to create duplicate accounts with the "&#XX;eff unter" bug, where the XX is the code for J.

So...so...weird.

I have to agree, this is kind of cluttered. Hopefully it'll get a few tweaks. Nice to be running some modern software however.

w00t...


...That will be all.

Cool! This is my first post on the new system.
The thread preview feature is cool. It's almost like having ESP or something. :p

I miss the old emoticons though :(

What ever happened to bugg eyed eek dude, and the orange cool dude with the dark sunglasses, and who could forget good ol' Razz? It makes me emo thinking about them. I miss them a lot.

thank you jeff, this is a switch ive been wanting to see for YEARS now! this should really reduce some problems and random glitches ive seen over the years ive been spyin on totse.

Jeff can you fix this?

Everytime I see all the threads messed up I have to hit "Last post" to assort them every single time I enter any forum.

Agreed.

This is awesome, it'll take some adjusting to, but it'll be good.

Looking good but a little confusing... I'm getting the hang of it. :)

Cheers Jeff!

I don't know if you can even do this, but would it be possible to get formatting codes for superscript and subscript? I keep running into a need for them.

All in all, I like it. Took a little getting used to the new position for the names, but I'm more likely to know who's saying what now.

It's a little different.


"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore toto."

my post count went from 451 to 331 or something?

I honestly don't like it. 1. I cannot believe you allowed private messages, 2. the username display, edit and quote buttons are way too big, 3. having to toggle to see older posts is really annoying, 4. I can't believe you allowed avatars in profile section, 5. it's too bloated, the old forum was minimalist (I like minimalist), 6. I preferred simply having to log in each time I made a post, and, well... give me time and I probably wont care either way.

EDIT - I really don't like being listed as "online" at the bottom of the page either. Is there any way to remain hidden?

I would assume that people have lower post counts as Jeff is still converting over all the older posts, in which case they will rise to your previous level once that's all taken care of.

(Hey, this is exactly as I had predicted in that thread I made in SG that was more than likely locked within a few minutes)

Jeff I have a dollar I found on the sidewalk, it has gum on it and looks like shit, but you're probably used to stuff like that. Do you want it? It's yours!

Why am I now "imported_" and not just Tommy Lund?
I don`t like this.

Hey Jeff my can you get my old account back for me (Fubar) it was cookie hacked? Zok has it disabled so I can't loose my post count/reg date. My email is walkercincioh@yahoo.com if you need further info or proof its me. Thx.

I like the vbulletin style. Kudos to you Jeff.


Btw.... can we turn the rep function on? i'd love to see the sheer amount of flaming and bitching and moaning that I have seen on other boards, but in a very "totse" style... :D

I am glad to not have to wait an hour to get all the posts by a person. And maybe can there be signatures only limited to 56 characters?

--Cr@sh

Jeff, is there any chance of having the threads displayed by last posted in to oldest posted in by default? The alphabetical order thing is really annoying. The closest we have is "last post time" but that shows them from oldest to newest, so I have to scroll down to get to the threads with the newest posts.

EDIT - OK, so I've found all I have to do is set it to "last post time", "descending", but it is tiring having to set that each time I click on a forum. How can I have it like that all the time? I looked in my edit options section, but there was no option to do this.

nice to see the switch, don't you have to have powered by vb at the bottom of the page?

interesting

Hmm, many new topics disappered and my topic that was locked came back....

Is it just me?

Edit: It's going to take a while for me to get used to. I liked totse's old BB looks 10x better....Even through I'm on other Vb forums.

Finalllyy <3

Fucking bullshit.

My main complaint is the images. The smilies and post icons suck, and I would like to see them replaced with the old school ones. And the folder icons. The current ones are big and annoying.
Same with images, without dancing Osaka, HB isn't HB.

Looks like you fucked it up.

Uh, where's the archives?...

http://www.totse.com/community//archive/index.php/

I like it, but it still needs some work.

Thanks for restoring all the old RKBA and W&C posts Jeff.

It means a lot when someone keeps their word.

Awesome. The layout & such could still use some tweaking, but overall I'm definitely digging vBull. It's refreshing.

Awesome, vBulletin for the win. However, being a webmaster of several forums myself, I suggest changing user details to the left.

Admin CP -> vBulletion Options -> Style & Language Settings -> Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template -> Yes

It make shit look neater and is easier to read.

Links to BBS from rest of Totse are broken.

Also, I got this when I first hit the thing to switch to threaded view: http://i12.tinypic.com/2n9kh9l.png

I feel... fancy

Whoa, it actually lives... its lives!Time will tell, although it will need more time to get used to it. And I hope it wont show any more database errors again.

edit: And yeah, I see post count changes, from around 1070 to 968, I feel younger :D.

Everytime I see all the threads messed up I have to hit "Last post" to assort them every single time I enter any forum.

I'm not sure what you mean by "assort".

I can tell you that I'm still merging in threads from the last 24 hours so things may take a bit of time to settle down.

Have you tried scanning for new messages yet?

Actually I think thats might be the accounts of those who tried to create duplicate accounts with the "&#XX;eff unter" bug, where the XX is the code for J.

You are correct.

Jeff, is there any chance of having the threads displayed by last posted in to oldest posted in by default?

Yes, it's called "setting your personal preferences." Try the User CP.

It's so....cluttered.

QFT.

It's so messy, and confusing.


Also, what did you do with all the threads in Oral Indulgences, you monster!?!?!

Database Errors are completely skrewing my browser(Safari) over. I can't get past the homepage.

(I'm having to resort to using my back-up browser(Mac IE v5), which is recieving slightly less DB Errors, although the browser is so poor that it keeps having shitfits).

Uh, where's the archives?...

In the forums. Message archives go back to 2003. An old NIRVANAnet(tm) sysop just sent me more message archives from the mid-90s. Someday I'll load those in too.

Moderators can use the power of sticky tags to put the old threads to a forum's landing page.

Thanks for fixing the usernames to the side, please leave the post count/reg date under the users name cause it's a lot more convinient.

Why is the PM feature disabled? I think it would be really nice to have. :)

Yes, it's called "setting your personal preferences." Try the User CP.

Do you know what CP stands for in Freenet?

I think of that every time I see "User CP."

Not that I'm suggesting a change. Just a stupid attempt to be funny.

Another thingy that's having problems is the login at the top of the page when using the Opera browser. Doesn't seem to work at all.

I also noticed you fixed the thing with the links. Or maybe that was just another database error. *sigh*

Yes, it's called "setting your personal preferences." Try the User CP.

There's no option there for doing that and it's really annoying having to set the forum to "last post time" "descending" repetitively.

I dont know what to say

Gee wizz...

Well, it certainly looks and is different.

Ah well, it's definitely an improvement, and considering how much people use totse, you'll be used to it within a few days :D

Hmmm, we need to bump it back up to 50 replies per page. 10 is just pathetic, threads will jump to three pages in a matter of minutes.

EDIT: I just hit alt+S to post, my god it was like pure sex...

can you set the boards to display the last post by default, because it keeps changing back to thread title > descending :(

You can change the number of posts per page in the CP.

Infractions, eh?

just came here after a break... ¡Ay Caramba! the change has happened and now begins my getting used to it. what it seems to me, what a great job done with these changes. a lot of stuff to look into.

can you please restore image tags to hb?


also, can I have a special title? like, awesome?

It won't display the newest threads first without making the posts in the threads backwards.

Can we change it back now? Its too confusing, and it scares me a little that totse is actually... with the times. Im so confused... so horribly confused. :/

It now lacks the comforting face of totse that i have grown to know and love.

It's ok, it'll be out of date again in another 5 years and the totse you know and love will still have it's antiquated charm.

Until then, I think once all the adjustments are made, it's going to kick ass.

It isn't displaying new threads properly. They're all about a month old. And yes I checked ascending.

Thumbs down

I lost like 200 posts.

Other than that I think it isn't bad though.

Uh, people, the default display option is to display threads by name, not newest bumped. This needs to be fixed, and right now.

I wish you niggers would stop bumping all the old threads. This place is cluttered enough as it is.

Cool.

I wish you niggers would stop bumping all the old threads. This place is cluttered enough as it is.

Every thread that begins with a W or Y is at the top of the page. This fucking sucks.

EDIT:

Also, I'm getting messages about the server being too busy, and telling me to try back later. Is vBulletin too much for that ancient piece of hardware to handle?

... so far, so good.

Thank your for taking the time and spending the money to set up vbulliten. Through the years Totse has bee very inspiring, and I have learned much. Vbulliten is awesome and the layout is ultra fab. It is very organized. It's working great and it's much easy to browse through old files with the vbulliten search functions. Totse has a 21st century makeover. Yippy Hooray!

Jeff, the display options are sort "descending" and "last order" by default now, which is excellent, but can you also make them "last post time" instead of "thread title"? It's really annoying when they're in alphabetical order, especially when there's posts from a month ago, instead of by which thread has last been posted in.

I just have to say please don't put the names beside the posts. There's just not enough room

can we have the old smileys back? pretty please?

can we have the old smileys back? pretty please?

Seconded. The current mad face just doesn't have the same oomph.

I just have to say please don't put the names beside the posts. There's just not enough room

I hope he does put the names beside the posts, and makes the usernames smaller whilst he's at it.

I love how you brought the purged threads back.

Also, why did you rid the registration date next to the names? It's the only thing that matters, not the 'rep' crap.

Thank You!

looks good.

I like old totse. It was quality over quantity. it was pure simplicity. it was almost to easy. that's what made it great!

The image limit of 4 is way too small. Also [img] tags in HB, but I bet you're working on that.

Can we please bump the number of posts per page up to 40 or 50?

You can bump the number of posts on a thread page up to 40 on your user CP.

Go you!

My ONLY complaint at this point is that there is no quick navigation between the forums at the bottom of the page, which makes changing forums a bit cumbersome, and the replies per page need to be changable.

other than that, butter.

It's a cluttered monstrosity.

First off:

Change the Names back to the left side.

Secondly:

Who cares if your postcount is lowered.

Who the fuck cares about your postcount.

Who cares if your postcount is lowered.

Who the fuck cares about your postcount.I'll admit I was slightly disappointed when the new forums went live and I had lost a little over 500 posts, but not because post count matters, but because I had just made it past the 10,000 mark, and that's a somewhat exclusive club.

Yey..

Thanks for fixing the login for Opera.

This is great.

Jeff, I'm not reading thru 14 pages of people sucking your nuts to find out if I'm the only one on totse that feels this way, but please, for the love of all things holy and unholy, change it back. One of my favorite things about totse was that it was basically the old school google of Message boards, stripped down to the bare essentials, not the fruit booty fisher-price looking bullshit. To paraphrase Dire Straits, I want my, I want my, I want my totse back.

I think its pretty good, got alot better once I edited the reply meter thing. Im angry that a few threads got locked though, major ones, like the Moola! thread in money money money, that thread was epic, why did it have to stop?

Props Hunter, this looks great.

Sorry Jeff but... this looks like shit.

A whole fuckton of unnecessary frames and information in every single post.

Any chance you'll fix it to look simpler like UBB?

My ONLY complaint at this point is that there is no quick navigation between the forums at the bottom of the page, which makes changing forums a bit cumbersome, and the replies per page need to be changable.

other than that, butter.

I agree, that's driving me nuts. Also, there might not be a way to have it highlight the forum on that drop-down menu when you hit a letter key, but that'd be nice again. Ok, maybe that's just me being ungrateful...

I think it looks nice, I'm adjusting. But please please please put the navigation thing back!

It was there. I don't know why Jeffy turned it off.

It was there. I don't know why Jeffy turned it off.

Yep, no reason to take it out...

Are you planning on turning on the Private Messages? I heard from another Totsean that you or Zok was going to soon, but wanted to hear it from THE MAN himself.

Hmmm...

OH THANK YOU GOD(JEFF HUNTER)

I have been waiting for this day for over 4 years

Great looking vbulletin, especially javascripty post editing, however...
OMGNOROUNDEDCORNERS! How can you possibly support trying to upgrade the forum and at the same time ruin the lovely rounded corners at the top of the content column!?

And something that actually DOES make a difference to the site: the forum list is horribly cluttered, mainly because the moderator column is taking three times the space it needs to. MomentaryLapseOfReason is the sole cause of this. :p However setting a percent width to the forum name/description column would be workable I believe.

A little different (gonna take getting used to), but overall it looks great. Hopefully the <img> function is disabled so people don't goatse the place.

Jeff, the captcha for the search function is barely legible. Any chance you could reduce font color variation, or restrict it to a more legible font?

A little different (gonna take getting used to), but overall it looks great. Hopefully the <img> function is disabled so people don't goatse the place.Please give img tags back to hb. We need it.

...Can we change back now? :(

Jeff
Way impressed with the new vBulletin system.
kudos to you and your staff of geeks!!!!

I love how it was like "BAM" switched.
You all made it pretty seamless for everyone.

thanks

daniel

I'll admit I was slightly disappointed when the new forums went live and I had lost a little over 500 posts, but not because post count matters, but because I had just made it past the 10,000 mark, and that's a somewhat exclusive club.


I lost about 200. Meh...I will get them back quickly.

I really liked the old totse layout, especially the smileys. These new ones suck balls. This new layout has more problems that it solves, and it looks like every other forum.

i approve.

I lost about 500, but it doesn't really matter. Any idiot can post a lot. The trick is to post stuff the people want to read.

Looks good...

Is it possible to have two seperate skins, one like this and one like the old style? Let the people have choice!

Where are our archives?!

Where are our archives?!Well, currently, they're in their original forums.

You do realize that every post is on the forums, right?

The threads may not be organized in an archive (yet), but they're still around...

Recently I brought up the question of Avatars (over in BLTC in one of the stickies). Now I know some people here will be opposed to them, but think about all the ones who would love them. There are alot of characters here on Totse, and having an avatar would be a nice way of showing who you are.

But not everyone should get one right off the bat.

You should have to earn it in some way. Maybe by donating a buck or two to Totse for better servers/parts or matainance. Or maybe by using some sort of point system where users give you "karma" points for good replies and "negative" points for shit posts. I mean, I don't know, it's just a thought, not that it's really necessary. Here is my original post from BLTC, which was suggested that I post here:

While you guys sit down at the virtual table for your pow-wow, how about discussing avatars? I remember some discussion when we had the old BBS that when totse switched to VB, people would be allowed avatars if they donated a buck or something for better servers or matainance or some shit like that. If not, how about letting people have them only if they earn it in some way? Not by number of posts though, since most kidiots will just flood totse with shit replies for #'s.

Not really necessary but just a thought.

Peace.

EDIT: Okay, even before you had a chance to reply, I feel that Avatars might be a bit of a stretch here at Totse, so after you say "no avatars", how about signatures? I noticed the Mods have them. How about the same deal, except for sigs?

If sigs were to be made available to the general public, there would defiantly have to be a size limit. Back in the day (man, I feel old) we had sigs available. Lots of people had long ones, and lots had banner sized links in there. Very distracting.

I have no opinion on avatars. I personally like them, but I don't know how totse would react to them. I'll bet we'd see a lot of nasty stuff.

See, thats the thing. After a while of thinking about it, I can see every other person having Gotse or some other nasty shit as their avatar.
Maybe some rules like "no porn in avatars".
I like avatars too, but sadly, the more I think about it, I don't see it happening.

Signatures I see as something that can definately be implemented, especially if it generates $$ with the "donate a dollar" thing.

Peace.

Here is something I would like to see implemented, if it is at all possible.

I like how posts that are new since your last visit in a thread have a little gold icon in the upper left. I would like it more if you could navigate multiple pages of the same thread without those getting reset in the process.

I like the old format better. One of the reasons I came to totse, very simplistic.

Can we up the post limit before changing to a new page?

Started a page two after 10 posts is a little short, don't you think?

At least bring it back to 25 posts like the older days or 50 posts in the past year or so.

You can change it yourself in the User CP at the top of you browser.

Thanks man.

Rep points for you. (in 24 hours, I've given out too much)

Jeff, just want to thank you for the change, and your efforts.

It's a terrific improvement. I'm glad everything went well.

<3,

GREAT JOB!

everything looks good.

almost... up to date, or... newer of course... but... like futuristic kind of but not quite....

ANYWAYS

you should change the side parts a little? it would match more if you did it right and make totse look even more legit!

Sigs would be cool.

Just think about it: All you're doing by removing the ability for automatic sigs is making it slightly more difficult to post them.

------
CTHULHU DEMANDS SILENCE!

Wait, regs don't have sigs?

When I saw that we could have sigs, I was dreading it, but if it's something only mods have, I'm okay with that, since it limits the probability of abuse.

I didn't even know about the new changes. When it happened I was confused and wondered what the hell just happened, maybe it was because I was high, but eh..

I like the fact that mods can create stickies. It might cut down on repetitive threads in forums like Reinvent Yourself.

I don't get the rep points, can someone explain that or point out where it explains it, if something like that exist.

All in all, it looks cool.

Hey Jeff, restore the old message icons, now. That's an order.

sweet! I love the new format. I almost never post, but I've been reading totse since 2003, I believe. Thanks for a good job.

Thanks for everything Jeff.

I read the last page of posts only, so I may not be up to speed.
There appears to be a gap of, say, two weeks missing in many slow moving threads.
most probably date to the two weeks previous to the vb changeover.
where are those posts?
Gone forever?

Can we lose the forum descriptions at the top of the page? We only need to see them once.

I'll second the motion to remove descriptions at the top of the page.

Also. What is with the reputation thing? Mousing over while it's red tells you that people don't like the poster, but over green (I'll assume that's good) you get something about no information. Feature or bug?

If someone likes your post, they can click the scale and give you a positive point.

If they don't like your post, they give you a negative point.

The points add up to give you a "reputation", or an indicator of average quality/likability.

Is there anyway to know who rates you? Is it automatically kept track of by the system?

Depends on the board. Some show who left the rep points, others, like Totse, are supposed to be anonymous, unless the rater decides to leave their name in the comment form.

You can see your reputation points, the comments left, and what post you got them from, though, on the main page of your User CP.

I was specifically referring to a positive rep coming up as 'unknown'. Perhaps I should have been more clear.

That just means that Jeff hasn't set the levels for when "unknown" becomes "good" or whatever.

Not bad Jeff.

Are you going to Dissallow /community/ from robots.txt?

If not it would be good to throw up vBseo and get some nice keyword URL's instead of character strings.

Never thought i'd see the day, i thought Infopop would crunch away until the end of time. :)

wow i just looked on to the site for the first time in a couple of weeks and i like it

ps.watgch out the ubb monster is behind you!!!

Are you planning on turning on the Private Messages? I heard from another Totsean that you or Zok was going to soon, but wanted to hear it from THE MAN himself.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Not anytime soon.

Thanks for bringing img tags back to HB, I love you again Jeff

Just a note Jeff someone recommended vbSEO I feel it is over priced and encrypted (ewww) I would say get zoints SEO and zoints thread tags.

Jeff, I've noticed you've enabled [IMG] tags. I tried disabling them in my User CP but my preferences seem to have been overridden?

Hey the switch looks great. It's also great that the XSS vulnerability is now closed and the use of session keys makes the value of the cookie less valuable.

chinese hciken havea cumstick n your brain start tickin

bump:mad:

Jeff, I recommend you return to the 50 post per page standard or else I will go on a Buttsechsing rampage across Amerika.

...Don't use them?

You can still see them.

...Don't look?

I miss the old look.....

And regs being open
And not having &T crash monthly
And Rep.:)

yeah I agree

Rep was bollocks, and Mr. Hunter made a savvy decision removing it. Totse isn't about a collective jack off session. It's about intelligent discussion, and learning.

*READ*KNOW*DO
not
*REP*KNOW*DICK

*REP*NOW*DICK

Yea, I want rep too.:mad:

erree erruuuh (like a record scratch)

Best move evar!http://www.totse.com/community/images/editor/attach.gif

Troll thread is troll.

Overall are you happy with the decision?

Well played.

Looks great, good work jeff

Thanks Jeffrey.

I thought he locked this thread...

or did he?:confused:

:eek:

I thought he locked this thread...

i thought so too.

It's not just good, it's marvelous. Probably one of nicest looking, and functioning fotum on the web. If the count of posts is lost-it's lost. Not so important. Expecialy I like that an ansver on question, which is few posts earlier gets edited post on which ansver is.

thanks!

Bump.
