The attachment size has always been small on the forum. Even on the other software it was small. When posting pictures it's best to use a photo hosting site like Flickr or photobucket.
Welcome to our new look!

How big is the picture you are trying to attach? With the crazy number of megapixels in even phone cameras, the files are WAY bigger than they need to be to show nicely in a forum and they eat up the forums resources.
You can always host the full-size images at a photo site and post the URL link if you want them to be very big.

The attachment size limits are the same as they were on the old software. However, the new forum software will try to resize your images so they fit within the limits, while the old software would not. As always, it is best to post photos to somewhere like photobucket.com and then link to them from the forum.
I love the new look. I have a question thought. For some reason, by the time I was done typing my message, the system said that I needed to logged in so I could post. But I was logged in. Is there something I should check so I won't be logged out? Thanks.
Many thanks to Jason for the long hours he has put into this change over, not just this past weekend but also many hours leading up to last weekend. He is awesome!
It seems that some posts are missing. Well at least for me. In the Backyard Oasis I only see 5 posts total.
Down at the bottom select thread display options and change it to a longer time period.
In the "General Setting's" you should see a box for " Default Thread Age Cut Off." Change that from the forum default to a longer period of time. I've got mine turned to "Show all threads."
Thanks. That did it. I like the new look, but the default should be all threads IMHO.
WoW! Congrats on the new clean look and a definite welcome surprise.
What no advanced posting options like BOLD, italics or COLOR for fonts, LINKS or other fun stuff like smileys
etc.????
Who said learning BB Code was a waste of time?
I know looks aren't everything, Craigslist has proven that to this day
but there are some things that nearly every respectable forum has in place for its users. I'm sure there's going to be quite a few bugs still as usual with most transformations.
Keep up the great work!
ERRRR!
Edit:Just noticed you have to go to a separate page for smileys, still no advanced options, unless I missed those too.

There are advanced font effects like you mentioned in the advanced editor, just not in the quick reply.
It looks like the search button is now the built in vBulletin search instead of a Google search. I seem to get better results with Google than vBulletin. Are there plans to support a Google search button?
I know I can do a search over on google.com with "<search term> site:troublefreepool.com", but I'm lazy and would prefer a button here.
Thanks for switching to the new software.

It looks AWESOME guys! Thanks so much for all your hard and I have no doubt frustrating, work! It's absolutely beau-ti-mus! 60,000 members??? WOW! I remember the days of "can we hit 5,000?"!!

I agree. On another vBulletin forum I am on, I think the search is the same as here, but under the Advanced Search link the Google search is available.

I could not find the link, everytime I clicked in my favorites bar on old TFP it would say could not find server, so I finally googled troublefree pools and voila here I am. Keep up the good work
Where are the smileys?????

Google search as the default is coming back, however Google results are mostly wrong at the moment. Google still has links cached to the old URLs. In several days when Google gets straightened out I will switch them.
