Looking good Gregg. The speed is great, I am liking a lot of the format. But I am finding that the text, especially in the sub-forums, too light. A darker blue will make it easier to read.

I can hand the avatar size, but can we make the file size larger, I have a bunch of awesome avatars that I can use but because they are .gifs they won't fit the tiny a** 6KB requirement. Maybe bump it up to say 125K.

is that like when you get off by repeatedly punching yourself in the nads? yeah, i don't like that.
Close. That plus conventional fapping at the same time. I heard its a rush.

Anyone know how to edit the physical size of an animated .gif file, I have a couple of good avatars but now they are too big physically and if I edit them in MS Paint then they aren't animated anymore.

GRM did the same thing when they foolishly wrote forum software from scratch. Weird layout and Web 2.0. You guys didn't hire Baxster, did you?
The blues and yellow crap will be gone soon.......or at least whenever I can get logged in :lol:

You need a legit image editor. Photoshop/GIMP work well for this.

Hang tough, guys - We still have a TON of work to do, but we didn't want to be down in the meantime.

I'm awake now, gotta run a couple errands then getting back on it!

Welcome to the other side. :)

Embedding videos has never worked on Nico. The only exception is if you ran FireNICO which ran a 3rd party modification to create embedded videos from links.

You *can* embed flash, which is new.

What screen size and resolution are you using? They look normal on my computer so we need to know what they don't look normal on.

It's going to take a while to get used to this as it is, not having FireNICO is going to make things even harder. I've been using FireNICO since it came out.

Any chance that the new NICO is mobile phone/Ipod touch friendly? I couldn't log in with my Ipod Touch and haven't even tried with a phone.

I'm with this, it feels cramped.
In picture threads, like the Best 240sx thread at 240 gen, all of the pictures are cutoff and you can't see the full picture.

3 feet from my screen, it doesn't go any further back or my monitor would fall off my desk.

I like the new site so far, Greg. Can't wait to see some new skins though. The stock one is a little too bright for my taste. Other than that, it's pretty good. I had a forum with phpBB once and it ran smoothly.
