Exclamation Welcome to ScoobyNet 3!

Hi All

Shaun and I would like to offer you a warm welcome to our new home!

It has taken a gargantuan effort to get this up and running, especially on Shaun's part, so we really hope you are pleased with the results.

In addition, please accept our deepest apologies, that the search function is not yet switched on. It requires a huge indexing process, which we will do gradually over the next 2 weeks and then switch it on.

We have implimented almost all of the features requested by the community including the subscription forums, paypal sign up for plus membership / all subscriptions.

There are still a few things to tidy up / get running, so please bear with us over the next couple of weeks until we get all the finishing touches in place.


There is SO MUCH to explore, so take the time to have a look around at all your new options, etc. Parts of it will take a while to get used to, but the main functions are essentially the same.

Please let us have your feedback here, and we will work on anything that needs it as soon as possible.

Finally, we would like to send a heart felt thank you to everyone who has been so supportive, especially during the last 2 weeks. This is all for you

All the best

Simon, Shaun and the moderator team.

Congrats on the move.

vBulletin is by far the best BB software available.

like the new features (preview of posts by hovering over the title is fantakka) Little slow still, but on the whole a great improvement!
Google ads are much better being off the thread "section"

Looking good. A bit slow, as mentioned previously. I like the new carbon look. Although this may have been more appropriate

Only joking, well done Simon & Co.

Question

Looks good

Just wondering if it's just me that can only see two threads out of 2,796 in the southern section?

Like the look so far, but its taking about 3 minutes to load this thread on ADSL.

Once the speed issue is sorted it will be great

Well done S&S

As mentioned: Speed issues are absolutely awful, and formatting of posts seems a bit iffy from here. Not 100% sure about the new look (someone said fussy, which seems accurate: seem to use a lot of screen ordnance for not much benefit, though this may be a function of the "iffy" formatting") but I must say the extra functionality is AWESOME!

If you could just make it faster, I could get used to the rest of it.

Bit slow - and no Google Ads - Although I did briefly see a message about it not liking their width (or something like that).

Also getting some odd views ???

Will keep practising - The views are changing as I type - another speed issue I think !

Speed needs a little work as mentioned by others. I also seem to have lost all my favourites which is a bit of a pain, esp as I can't search to find them all again! Some of them were old threads but with really useful stuff in them - anything you can do to sort this?

Hmmm - seems quite a few threads have dissapeared on "Non scooby releated", 3 that I was involved with seem to have gone, or was this a moderation decision?

Very quick update

Apologies for the outages. We're working hard to optimise everything to keep the thing running when you all log in!!

We'll get there but it's taking a while.

Thank you for your patience.. full update will come once we're stable.

Talking :) Looks good to me

.... and since it had some maintenance a short time ago, the speed issues seem to have been rectified. Much faster than earlier..

Well done chaps, keep up the good work..

Looking good!

Thought I was going mad when I checked at 5pm to see a closed vbulletin message then got home and it had switched back to the old forum!

Looking good Simon & Co. Bit of a culture shock at first, but I'm sure we'll all get used to it.

It would be interesting to have a glimpse of the old UI again after a few weeks to see what everyone's reaction is then.....

Big thanks to all who've worked so hard on this!

PS. Like the post preview facility. Useful to check on spelling and whether the emoticons have worked.....
