              Something needs to be done with the sig pics.

              Everyone's running around with [sigpic][/sigpic] in their sig now. :lol:

                      I am going to be fixing the smilies right now. That was on the list. I am not 100% sure why some signatures are working and other are not working. I will look into this as well.

                          Anything in particular that you miss that we might be able to find some sort of "middle ground"?

                              I don't see too much wrong with it as long as it functions the same... It'll just take a while to get used to :(
                              Oh and I agree with fixing the "signatures" my picture doesnt show

                                  I suggest giving it a few weeks before you start taking opinions on the new layout.

                                  It's been my experience that anytime a forum drastically changes its layout in an upgrade like this the vast majority of posters will absolutely hate it at first because they're too used to the previous format, but after some time goes by and people start to adjust you start getting more honest opinions.

                                  edit: That's not to say opinions on specifics can't be valuable right now. I'm just talking about general "do you like it or hate it?" opinions.

                                              I have fixed one problem with signature pics by allowing IMG bbcode. Still working on the random "sigpic" showing up.

                                                          For some reason, the LOL smilie is corrupted or not usable. Looks to of been a program since the initial move of bolttalk.net.

                                                          Can you link me a smilie that is close to the LOL smilie? I will update that ASAP.

                                                              I pretty much just google'd for a background and found one. Not sure if I have the original or not, but I will look for it.

                                                              Glad you like it. :)
