      April Fools went perfectly until the forum didn't come back up at the end of the day with the new upgrade. Rest assured that everything else was an intended joke. The upgrade:

      @brennen.exe:

      I'm sure you all are seeing that things have changed quite a bit. Well, not so much changed, but it is a little different, and there is much more potential. There is, for example, a more advanced video posting option, allowing you to select from more video streaming sites than just YouTube. There is a more advanced search feature. There is a new visitor messaging feature in your profiles, allowing you to leave notes or have conversations with people. We can integrate with Facebook and twitter, should we choose to do so. There is a donate button on the navbar, for those of you who would like to help us with the monthly server costs. Obviously this news section is new.

      There are quite a few more additions, which I am sure you will all get to know over the next week or two, so we all hope you enjoy the changes. In the mean time, if you find anything you believe you should have access to, something you shouldn't have access to, or just something that isn't working, please let a staff member know or leave a comment in this posting.

      Check the news tab for more information.

      There will probably be a few kinks to work out, but that will come in time. The staff has remained untouched and we've never been on better terms with each other. Hopefully the new theme and the upgraded VB software are worth it.

      New skins/themes will be available in the future. They're a lot of work to set up, though, so you'll have to make do with what's available for now.

        So I see that we lost the ability to change skins under this upgrade. Probably because they are incompatible. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth to not have the classic theme available but whatever, it's for a greater good.

          the new version of vBulletin has a lot of new elements that the old skin simply could not be imported for, though it's possible to remake the old skins for the new forum version, I'd assume it would take some time.

            Right now vBulletin is working on a script that will convert– within reason-- older styles. I've held on to the old styles, but of course they are disabled. I'll try porting them as best I can when I get the chance. I've also started working on a newer version of the CP9 skin, as well as a special mod of said CP9 skin; major problem with it right now is contrast issues (color layout) and divs working with the gradients. Eh, I'm a little reluctant to keep pursuing it, but maybe after some more adjustments I will enable it for the rest of you to try out.

              Is it possible to move that little bar at the bottom of the PM page saying how full it is to top of said page, before the PMs? Kinda weird having it at the bottom underneith everything.

              Oh hey, I do videos on figures and manga and stuff: https://www.youtube.com/thatmanhismerch

                Avatars won't save for some reason. I'm assuming it's broken?

                  Old Youtube embeds aren't working.

                  I'm assuming there's a new way to do that?

                    It'll take getting a little used to but I like it.

                        Patience is a virtue, everyone.

                        Yeah, 'Go Advanced' when you want to post, and there is a new option button above the text box called "Insert Video". You'll be able to insert videos from more than just YouTube.

                        And yes, it works. At least YouTube does, and the YouTube box is bigger now! 😁

                        Same issue here.

                        Again, I can keep shirtless Chris Evans a little while longer. I'm not upset. No rush.

                                        I want to ask about something.

                                        When I click on "search all posts" the last posts in search I found belonging to myself are from December 2009, but for example when visiting the Bleach thread, my February posts are stil there.

                                        What gives ?

                                            I just find the rather important "new posts" button seems kind of insignificant here, that's all.

                                                      Love the new skin guys! It's o easy on the eyes; all the colors blend perfectly!

                                                      Also, I too am having problems updating to a new avatar…

                                                      Great job guys!

                                                                                          When I click on "search all posts" the last posts in search I found belonging to myself are from December 2009, but for example when visiting the Bleach thread, my February posts are stil there.

                                                                                          I mentioned this in the news posting on the front page, but for those who didn't read it, the posts need to be indexed. To put it in layman's terms, I need to have the forum check for all existing posts and their content so that it knows what is there when it searches. It has gone through partially, thus why you get results at all, but we have over 2,000,000 posts, so the process takes a long time.

                                                                                          @Akumu:

                                                                                          Though, why are you all back to Stars instead of Arlongs? Those were awesome!

                                                                                          @Mrs.:

                                                                                          Criminal stars 🙂

                                                                                          People liked the stars, for whatever reason, and they look a little cleaner at that small resolution. Like Iceburg noticed, they were modified to be Criminal stars, so technically they are still One Piece themed. I figured they would work well with this Fishman Island theme in particular (though rank isn't theme specific).

                                                                                          Also, about the Arlong Tattoo, if you clear your browser's cache it will download the new favicon (the icon that shows next to the http://websiteurl), which as you might have figured out is the Arlong Tattoo.

                                                                                          @Buuhan1:

                                                                                          Is it just me, or does the forum load a bit slower? I presume it's normal as it's heavier than the old version.

                                                                                          @Urouge:

                                                                                          The database probably has to reindex everything. I'd expect it to speed up over time.

                                                                                          It's likely a combination of things. The posts are being indexed right now, so the database is pretty busy, and we have a few hundred users online, and there is more content as you said, and… yeah, I'm sure it will pick up speed as time goes by. Your browser is still caching a lot of this as well, which, likely the old theme and forum was cached already so there was less to load. Etc, etc.

                                                                                          Edit: Oh, and I think I know why you are having trouble with avatars. Let me look into it real quick.

                                                                                                    It's gorgeous, no doubt and all, but I hate the brightness.

                                                                                                        Just noticed. The ignore list user commnet box is alot more noticeable this time. No big deal since I'd get use to it. The Report Post icon is still as vague as ever. I suppose some things should not change.

                                                                                                        Still looking through the other features. I'm really liking the freindlist and profiles.
