The new site is GGGGRRRREEEEAAAATTT!!!! Though, I can't find anything! I just have to get used to the new site!
@Mods/or Admins: Can you still PM people here?

ShenTirag · « **Reply #26 on:** February 10, 2007, 02:30:08 PM »

Yes, PMs do work. But the current number of PMs it says you have may be wrong.

Well, since this is the first time I've gotten to log in since we have been ' up and running' (darn company!! :wacko:) I just wanted to say the new site looks great! I know we will all be getting used to the new layout and such - but I have rarely - if ever - seen a website move go faster or smoother!

I LOVE IT!!!! :violin: You guys did such an AWESOME job! :wild:

The only weird thing is that my name is MarineMania on the boards, but everywhere else its MarineManiac

I think this is an awesome job so far :first: I personally love the blue colors. It reminds me of the marine mania colors. GREAT work guys I love it!

Budgielover101 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 10, 2007, 04:23:02 PM »

The new site is looking fantastic!! great job on getting it all moved so quickly!

MarineManiac · « **Reply #35 on:** February 10, 2007, 04:24:22 PM »

Just out of curiosity, when will the download section be finished?

ShenTirag · « **Reply #36 on:** February 10, 2007, 04:30:02 PM »

As soon as it is ready, please be patient.

It may take several days if not weeks to get all the many downloads we have here at ZA back up!

mikaboshi · « **Reply #37 on:** February 10, 2007, 04:30:58 PM »

When we've got all of the bugs out of it, etc. We really can't give you a definite answer right now. You'll just have to be patient, I'm afraid.

Yellowrose · « **Reply #38 on:** February 10, 2007, 05:29:47 PM »

The old site version of the downloads will be made available by the end of the weekend.

We will not be taking any new file submissions however until the new downloads manager is tested so we know how it all works. Remember this is just as new to us as it is for you.

You just have to get used to a few new features you should see the stuff we have to learn and figure out and all without an instruction manual

I know you are all excited and would like everything asap and we are trying, just a little patience on your part to allow us the time to get the rest of the site features working and all in good order.

okya, my pm box says its full, but i cant see any messages. can a mod clear it for me?

other than that, i like the new site!

sheltiefan · « **Reply #40 on:** February 11, 2007, 10:39:48 AM »

Yes we seem to have had a problem with the PM's transferring over however deleting them seems to work. And you should be able to clear your PMs yourself. If you look at the bar at the top of your PM box you'll see the words Date, Subject, From and then a small box. Check the box and click Delete Selected. Do the same for your inbox and outbox and your messages will be cleared.

Will we be getting those "scientist" and "pooper scooper" and "game warden" labels back? Those were really neat.

badisbadis101 · « **Reply #42 on:** February 11, 2007, 03:28:09 PM »

Sheltiefan-for some reason that doesnt work :console:

is there any other way to do it?

Yes, the staff is working on little icons to replace the stars. They will be ready ASAP.

mikaboshi · « **Reply #44 on:** February 11, 2007, 07:07:01 PM »

About the PMs - we know there is problems with them right now but I'm sorry you'll just have to deal with it if Sheltiefan's very clear instructions did not work for you.

About the stars/titles: if you look right under your names, you still have those titles; all of the icons for everything basically are going to be changed though as we get to them. We figured it'd be much better to get the site up and running so that you can all be talking here right now then to smooth out EVERY single bump in the road first. That could have taken a month - did you really want to wait that long? Didn't think so.

About siggy banners: IF you had a banner from a site contest and it is currently missing, we are also working on that.

The one thing that I can't stress enough is patience, but I also encourage you to post any issues with the site that you may have here (after reading through and making sure that your problem hasn't already been addressed, of course). We can't catch everything by ourselves, so you are all a great help in letting us find all of the bugs so they can be squashed.

I don't like the front page as much but otherwise it's Ok.

JohnZTMaster · « **Reply #46 on:** February 11, 2007, 07:39:29 PM »

It's good, but I really miss the old skin. I also just generally liked vBulletin better than SMF board type. But I can live with it.

Also, are the downloads up? I see a downloads button!

mikaboshi · « **Reply #47 on:** February 11, 2007, 07:43:03 PM »

Downloads will not be up till Monday, Feb 12th as we have stated in numerous areas.

And SMF is free; VBulliten you have to pay for.

Bengal_Tiger · « **Reply #48 on:** February 12, 2007, 03:59:22 AM »

I really like the new site, but I'm still trying to get used to it instead of the original Zoo Admin site!

I can't wait for it to be totally finished and the downloads to be back up again...

Texgnome1 · « **Reply #49 on:** February 12, 2007, 07:47:17 AM »

First off, I want to thank everyone for bringing things to our attention. We're working on it, but there is still quite a lot to do. Thanks for your patience & support while we get everything done.

Now a few things I'd like to address.

PM box counts: I do know they're off, however I am not sure what caused it. I am working with the SMF guys to try to correct this.
Downloads Database: This is going to take longer than we thought. For some reason, the files did not transfer over as we'd hoped. We have them all, but as you guys know from last year, uploading approximately 3000 files will take some time.

If you guys have any questions, suggestions, comments, etc. by all means please let us know. Thanks!
