This is how it should have gone last time. Thank to Sarah from Diagonally.org who is the only one to thank when it comes to this upgrade. Thank you chica!

Now, it isn't all the way done yet, but the rest should be even more subtle than now. You will notice a few changes here and there (and even some minor fixes), especially here in the forums, just try not to get carried away

Looks great... except... is it only me, or when you log on, does everything slow down to snail mail pace? And for some reason the comments in "News" are being attributed to some number and are coming out in gobbledygook. Where's Dumbledore when you need him...

Can everyone else still see the avatars and siggys in the forums? For some reason I can see avatars and siggys in the user profiles, siggys in the pms, and also my own avatar on the left-hand side of screen...but the forums are bare... Completely bare...

*sadness*

Oh, and because I'm feeling silly:

The applaud/smite options have me intrigued... but I don't want to play with them without knowing what they are for exactly

No avatars and siggys for me either. *grumbles*

I, unlike Dragon, have tried smite even though I had no idea what's it for. Just couldn't help it. *grins*

And what is 'karma'? What does it mean?

I know what a drag it can be to get thing up and about after an update so don't worry. Things look great. Keep up the good work. Thumbs up!

No avatars or siggies right now. It is at the top of my list.

As for Karma, it is just awarded by anyone that feels like awarding you karma, or smiting you. So be good! There really is no other use for it.

Oh good! No worries then I'll happily wait for siggys/avatars to return.
*bounces*
All praise the MagGod!

The karma is cute! I'll have to pretend the 'smite' is like hexing someone... *evil grin*

Nah, I couldn't hex someone on Immy - I love you all too much.

Ummm I actually used 'smite' on myself. *rolling eyes*

Oh, and are pages being opened A LOT faster than earlier today or is it just me imagining stuff? (It's 5am and I'm still up so it's a good possibility.)

If 'smite' is hexing, then 'Ignore users' would be like Avada Kedavra...right?

*ded*

I think you're on to something there Voldoramort!

LOL That is so funny Dora! I like the the hex or jinx. I was thinking of what to rename it to because I don't like what it is called right now. Any ideas for

Karma:
Applaud:
Smite:

? Feel free to post!

OMG, and I am double posting because I really do think that it is insanely faster now than it was!

Karma: Spells?
Applaud: Charm?
Smite: hex or jinx?

Just some thoughts.

Oh, can I ad that every time I see "Karma" I think of that song from the '80's?

The karma feature is grand, and with those names it will be much fitting ^^. The posting fascilities are really useful, too.
I'm afraid to say, though, that chat doesnt work ...unless it's only for me?

Hehe, I was just as intrigued and more, I clicked mine and it told me I was silly! I couldnt stop giggling for a while. Then I went and applauded Molly, a 0 just isnt like her. XD

Heehee!
Yes, it is a lot faster than it was before

Randomness:
Karma: Immy Love / House Points / Magical Merit / Special Sevices
Applaud: Charm / *huggle* / Chocolate Frog / Lemon Drop / Brilliant!
Smite: Hex / Jinx / Curse / Dungbomb / Howler

Out of those, I like:
Karma: Magical Merit (Tom was given the 'Award for Magical Merit' - according to Lexicon this is probably academic achievement (I just think it sounds good ))
Applaud: Charm
Smite: Jinx

Charm and Jinx seem to go well together - I think Hex or Curse are a little harsh... Well, Hex is ok, but Curse, no - I wouldn't want to curse any of you!

If it was jinx it'd be like muhahaha! I jinxed you! (More fun-loving than mean)

Mag, how does the 'Thank Thread' option work? I was curious a clicked it before, but all is said was 'operation complete'. Is it something only the all-mightly mods can see the results of? And if so, what will the results be used for?
*curious*

Squeeeee!

Nice new update! Looks more modern =p

I can't wait however for the avatars because I love to make it match with my paws!
