NEW 4.0 IS HERE I WILL BE WORKING TO GET EVERYTHING WORKING AGAIN....

THERE ARE A TON OF NEW FEATURES SO PLEASE CHECK THINGS OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

THANKS

[csmiths]

I dont like the way that the site is setup now. I wish i could have a different skin so reading things would be easier.

[punkr6]

if this is what its come to, I won't be on here anymore. THIS SUX

[J-ROCK]

hope its not like this forever! very hard to figure things out now

[umairejaz]

aahhhhh, turn off the lights!!!!

[David88vert]

Paul,
I have a lot of experience with CMS systems (designed plenty of them, and work with them everyday). If you run into an issue or a problem, let me know, and I'll do what I can to help.

To Others:
Give it a few days to get used to it. Colors and positioning can be changed easily on systems like this, but they have to verify that the code is working properly first. It's a big upgrade, and there is more to it that just what you see on screen.

[FasTech]

I hate the new skin. I agree, we should give it some time to work out the small stuff but please god change the skin color! lol.

[CautionMeDC2]

[NEMO]

not liking the skin layout. looks like a cheap website now

[r0bb86]

I like it, except of course the current layout style. That can easily be changed... everything is working so thats great.
Several other forums I frequent has recently made the switch and the majority of them have seen some sort of data loss.

[Boosted FC]

Welcome to Corperate IA.

[civicturbo10]

I have lost a couple things. Threads started, posts, link to see you reps....etc. It's incomplete or not there. Hopefully these are being rebuilt behind the scene. Please change the color.

[NAIZBST]

it's ok but definitely needs color

[Paul]

Look it takes a few days to sort everything out... i spent most of yesterday preping and upgrading. I will be working on bugs and converting our styles to the new style. If you have suggestions and enhancements keep them posting i am currently working on templates.

[TSiFTW]

I actually like it, but I am already used to it from experience. It takes a minute but once you get the hang of it everything is much more manageable. Especially for the admins and mods.

[Hulud]

make another dos equis amber skin son!

[.:Stirfry:.]

hmm i like it.
when i first clicked forums on the main front page i was like wtf is goin on.
but im just so used to the old one, but i can dig this.

[S2KJD]

look fwd to a couple of days from now :)

[JITB]

im considering suicide! oh em gee. these colors!

[bonezMTA]

[Nemesis]

lol yall complaining but dont pay anything to log in.


It looks alright, at least they are upgrading shit around here.

[youngmill]

Im just saying its bright, but change is good. Maybe it has to grow on me...As of now IM LIKE NA...

[Skorcher]

Can't say I'm liking it too much at the moment, but I know it's just my first impression. May grow on me over the next few days we'll see. Color is terrible, but I understand everything has to be in place and working properly before the tweaks like that come in. I'm patient, especially since this whole thing is free.

[Paul]

GUYS THE COLORS WILL CHANGE TO OUR NORMAL SHIT BUT IT TAKES SOMETIME... THERE ISN'T A TEAM OF GUYS WORKING ON IT THERE IS JUST ME. I AM CURRENTLY FIXING BUGS FIRST THEN WE WILL WORK ON VISUAL ASPECT... TRUST ME I WANT MY DOS EQUIS BACK!!!

The new system has a ton of features to help us grow the site and get members more involved. Check things out and give us feedback.

Thanks

[ATK_Designs]

I actually like it. It's similar to other forums I'm on :)

I see your Dos Equis and raise you red/grey :goodjob:

[Kourt]

I hate how it has the homepage thing 'cause when I'm signed in it says I don't have permission to see it. So when I get on it says I dont have permission to see the page, then I have to click forums instead of it showing the forums automatically when I sign in. (even though the web address is http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/)

If that makes any sense?

[youngmill]

Thanks

i will, and i tried to find the rep icon to rep you but couldn. well good luck and no matter what this turns out to look like. we will still log on bet that.

Rep button is the little icon at the bottom of each post kinda shaped like a sheriff's badge.

Edit: Arg I was ninja'd

[XanRules]

I hope most of the people complaining about the looks get banned for being idiots.

Actually, if we banned every idiot here, there would be maybe 100 members.

[Turbodude06]

WTF???? This is just gay I agree with whoever said this looks like Facebook for tuners:cry:...... IMO :)

[ls-r teg]

this sucks

[D3UC3S]

Thanks for all of your hard work Paul!!! No one would be here right now to complain if it wasn't for you.

Im sure we will all get used to the upgrades soon enough. Im not feelin it at the moment but i have faith in you my brother.

troof. I needs that shit man. and we need to replace the VBulletin at the top with IA again man.`

[XanRules]

I'll be more than happy to write "IA" on my dick and make it the banner logo.

"importatlanta.com" won't fit :(

[ALVIN]

OH and if you click SETTINGS at the far top right next to my profile...thats where your reps are where you can view them....just FYI

[bdydrpdmazda]

where is the user cp?

[xxbckiexx]

[AnthonyF]

-Ant.

[Just_CHill]

WTF?

[XanRules]

can I make a tiny request?
Can we get better rep titles?
"XanRules cooler than coke classic" is just fucking stupid.
I'll gladly rewrite them if someone buys me a burger or something.

[AtifSajid]

Guys, this is just the initial template. Colors and designs will come back. Relax and get use to the style of the forum. Everything else will be brought back to close as possible, with tons of new shit you can do. You will enjoy it more. Promise.

[MachNU]

interesting very interesting...

[oneSLOWex]

AHHHH now you can click insert image and just paste in the image location....maybe peoples FS threads will get better now LMAO

Consider yourself lucky. I'm not able to get IA.com to fit on mine. Later, QD.

[Drummerboy]

My only complaint is the motive behind this. I liked the "community aspect" of this site, but now it does seem to blend in with all the other forums. In this case, it seems that an upgrade wasn't the best choice. Maybe that will change withinin the next few weeks, so i'll hold my judgement. Thanks for working hard Paul.

[civicturbo10]

Yep just found it

[TougeGTR-33]

not liking the skin layout. looks like a cheap website now
Yeah it really does look cheap now. TURN IT BACK!

[Paul]

hey guys i'm working on indexing all of the post so they can be search-able again... please bear w/ me as this takes a while and could be the reason system is running slow.

[juan08079]

I usually get on this website trough my phone on the opd website layout everything would fall in place as it should. With this layout it makes it like one of the cheap websites where all the links are on top of each other whics making it hard to navigate around. I hope there is way to fix that. Also a lil warning would have been nice or atleast better then having everyone log in this morning and be like WTF and start complaining about. Hopefully everything gets worked out right and soon paul it was time for an upgrade.

How about reading first before posting this garbage? Later, QD.

[bodhi]

there are a lot of bitchy little twats complaining about this shit...

who cares? its still a forum to post your pointless dribble, and im sure everyone will eventually forget about the new skin/layout

i remember when the original IA skin changed to the shit we had before this one
people complained, but eventually got used to it


so everyone should change their xxxl tampon and prepare themselves for the future

[bdydrpdmazda]

Is it just me or did 75% of the site get a name change, i find myself wondering who half the people posting are...

[Nemesis]

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE NEMESISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSS

[Alan®]

[EG_Ryder]

[x Resilience]

if this is what its come to, I won't be on here anymore. THIS SUX

No one likes you anyways. Good ridance.


I like the new forum, take a couple of days to get used to it but its good.

[swimshark]

seriously? how many dumb fucks are illiterate in here? so many people bitching how it looks and i swear ive seen Paul say multiple times in different threads that he is currently working on getting the new skins to work with the new system. read before you whine and post. it makes you look like an idiot the more you complain about the current skin. give it a few days and let Paul do his work. like he said he is right now a 1 man show. sounds like a bunch of bleeding vags in here complaining how the new skin sucks.

[boostedb16]

[Echonova]

I agree Maniac.

[bodhi]

srsly tho, its just a forum so everyone should just be happy that they can still communicate with their ebuddies,
and be given the chance to score with dumbtwat ia girls...

dorks

[RJ's325ITS]

I really liked the old one (eye friendly), I will be willing to give this setup w/new colors a try, but I dunno.... I looks cheap, hard to read, hard to track a thread, and loaded with so much stuff.....

[Destineal]

I am not liking this new layout. Hope it changes for the better.

[ultm8mind]

Can we not go to our "user cp" anymore?

[EM1toEVO]

It's under settings at the top right of the screen.

[swimshark]

hmmmm...paul it seems like when you click to go to last post of the thread it does not display the tabs at the top right for settings and displaying that you are logged in

edit: haha well i guess not now

[Dirty Octopus™]

hey homie i like how big IMPORTATLANTA is now but when you quote someone it extends past the grayish box. So do some sigs. maybe its the template you're using?
here's an example of what i mean...


http://i39.tinypic.com/v78v2x.jpg

[Humphrizzle]

is the reputation feature not in use anymore?

where's my userCP?

i stopped frequenting hondaforums.com because of this upgrade..

[Dirty Octopus™]

oh i see... its the color that you choose. the sigs and quotes fit a tad better with the default style. They're still shifted to the right but its a tad better with the default style.

[quickdodge®]

is the reputation feature not in use anymore?

where's my userCP?.

Reps are given at the bottom of each post. Click on the STAR. To acess USER CP, click SETTINGS at the top right of your screen. Later, QD.

[Elbow]

Haven't seen the new layout until today, it's a little overwhelming at first being SO different but I like it, I also like the new Blog even though I haven't done it but I like the option. I think the new look gives a more modern look to IA. I also love the reply with quote how it lets you message right below the post, it makes speaking of pictures in the post and such much easier.

[UpSideDownDesi]

main forum & individual section main page layout looks like clutter mess of words. It def is harder to read. If i look at it long enough, i'll get a headache.

New features do add to it, but old layout was i guess still better.

[Elbow]

I agree some of the colors make it very hard to read, anyway to change the colors? Especially threads with more than one page I didn't even realize it still said the page number next to the thread title it's so white and blends in.

[e30pwr]

is there a way to look at rep comments? that was some of the funniest shit

[D3UC3S]

they are still there...just underneath instead of next to

[Dirty Octopus™]

oh yeah fix the smilies. the "MORE" option is like hidden behind the ninja smiley

[sti_cham]

this shit fuckin sux ass...looks like a facebook for tuners. kill your self for thinking of this. what's next? music for our own thread?!

lol so true, the home page also fucking sucks ass, like news, food section? wtf its for car enthusiasts wtf is all these other carp! ..R.i.p ia ............ maybe lol hope they change it soon

[dwnsthGABOY]

wow, this new IA looks pretty amazing.
Seriously wow, I can't believe how far this site has come.
Dang, I was 16 when I joined this forum. Where does the time go?

[e30pwr]

lol so true, the home page also fucking sucks ass, like news, food section? wtf its for car enthusiasts wtf is all these other carp! ..R.i.p ia ............ maybe lol hope they change it soon

maybe people have more than one hobby/passion? ever think of that you selfless little whore. now go bathe in your uselessness elsewhere.

[OG-Skinny]

Paul,

Heads up on the Search Feature is not working properly. It starts searching for post 2006 or later (ie, 2005,2004,2003)

[UpSideDownDesi]

When you click on user name and click on "find all posts"...it takes you back to 2006.

[smoknlegend]

Paul said that search isnt working right because he has to index all the posts for it to work properly, which will take time.

Look at it this way, paul could have been a dick and taken the whole place down for a week..........................i think that would probably place many of us on suicide watch.

[jR1_kS14]

been here since 2006...and this is by far the worst i've seen this go.

i dont like this...

[speedminded]

Paul,

Heads up on the Search Feature is not working properly. It starts searching for post 2006 or later (ie, 2005,2004,2003)There are no threads prior to the summer of 2005 silly, when IA was hacked and everything was lost...

[Franco Tirador]

this does sux, bring the old ia back, im even beginning to like ht more than this crap, i would much rather have the old IA back, nice dark background, i can turn the dark background but cant read the text, i hope it gets better, cant even find my recent posts

[eViLMunkey]

Not really liking the new setup, but will get used to it over time,

[dwnsthGABOY]

Look at it this way, paul could have been a dick and taken the whole place down for a week..........................i think that would probably place many of us on suicide watch.

Too true, and I dont don't even post on this site that much. I'm just always on this site lurking you know what I mean. IA is perfect for someone like me, b/c when I'm on the internet I spend most of my time looking at the same type of shit. IA always has something going on, it may not always be qualitative, but it's constantly always "popping off" as they say. NYC is the city that never sleeps,and from my POV IA is the site that never sleeps. corny as fuck, but I think its a valid statement. I mean c'mon what other site can you visit where you can look at cars, pron, politics, and ppl talking an ass of shit to each other on the same site. I like the new design, its taking a little to get used to, but I like it nonetheless. Over time I have literally become addicted to coming to this website. And to be honest it is really unpleasant to entertain the possibility of not being able to come this site. I really think I'd freak the fuck out actually. *Dave Chappelle's voice* "And that's from the heart" And for the ppl complaining, get the sand outta your vajayjays please. JESUS!

[claybird]

this shit fuckin sux ass...looks like a facebook for tuners. kill your self for thinking of this. what's next? music for our own thread?!
I like the features but this is some horse shit. I come back from spring break and this shit now. uggghhhh. I guess ill get used to it. I like the music idea though

[DSM~420A]

just my :2cents: but i miss the old IA :cry: THIS ONE IS:gay: not knockin the effort but:no:

[5speed]

I must say I am liking the PM's now.

[FasTech]

Yeah, the PM's are cool. I actually like some of the new features. Still not adjusted to the look but its not all that bad.

[bodhi]

fuuck


it

[oneSLOWex]

Any way to get the smilies next to quick reply like they were before? I have tried clicking "reply to thread" a couple times because they are listed on that page but half the time it wont go anywhere when I click it.
