    As you might have noticed, the site is looking pretty different! It is my proud duty to unveil KH-Vids's newest redesign, KH-Vids 7.0! Before I start to highlight the new eye candy you've got ahead of you, let me explain a little: it is the tradition of KH-Vids to release our new styles on KH-Vids's anniversary in December. However, in August of 2012 we underwent the taxing but worthwhile move to Xenforo, a new forum software, thus introducing KH-Vids 6.0. In order to get the site up and running as quickly as possible, I downloaded a pre-made style, modified it for KH-Vids, and dubbed it KH-Vids 6.0. It worked well and looked nice!

    But I am of the school of thought that KH-Vids should have something entirely custom, built specifically for us, by us. Once everything had settled down after the Xenforo move, I began work on KH-Vids 7.0. I tried my best to have it done by the end of December but was unable to--however, I've busted my butt the past few weeks and the skin is now available, albeit a few weeks late!

    I do sincerely hope you guys like KHV's new look. The KH-Vids 6.0 styles will be disabled as I will no longer be supporting them, and 7.0 is really quite similar in color scheme and layout. I know a lot of users want a light style for KH-Vids and I do hope to provide it one day! Instead of explaining the snappy new appearance of KH-Vids, I'll leave you all to see it for yourselves.

    KH-Vids 7.0 has been tested rather extensively by myself and the staff team. I have tried all the major browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer), and while it functions fine on any of those, if you are using anything below Internet Explorer 8, I highly recommend that you upgrade to a newer version, or to a more modern browser. You'll be able to experience the full pizzazz behind KH-Vids 7.0!

    Should you find any display issues, browser-specific or not, please reply to this thread with the following:
    • Screenshot of the problem
    • Link to a page where you see the problem
    • What operating system you use
    • What browser you use (include the version!)
    ... and I will address it as soon as possible.

      Great job Misty. Looking snazzy and whatnot. Thanks for your hard work.

      Couple of things. Just voicing my support of a fixed width skin if you find the time. This is a major improvement from the ocean of forum in the last skin, but fixed was my bby.

      Secondly, is it possible to make spoilers not as...in your face? The long bright blue bar kind of clashes against other color schemes. v:

      Also supporting a lighter bar or something to separate posts and signatures. I keep thinking signatures are apart of someone's post lol.

      Another instant change, at least this one's better than the last move, not much difference, and the software's the same. I like the new design. :)

      If you want to introduce yourself you should click this and make a new thread, this thread is just about the updated style. I'll help you out if you need it, just make a post on my profile and not on here.

      To be relevant, now that I'm awake I'm noting the symbols for default avatars and new posts, etc and loving them.

      The advanced editor box, such as when replying to a thread, creating a conversation, etc. is skinny.

      Thank you guys for reporting all the issues, I've recorded what problems were actually problems in the first post. I'll try to get around to fixing them tonight! But just a reminder...
      It is extremely difficult for me to address issues without this.

      Thanks, Cass.

      Were mine okay? I never crop my images when reporting issues on a site, so the URLs of the page I'm on show, as well as the browser I'm using.

      I do have a question, though: what if there is no link? For example, that member preview popup issue I reported.

      Yours were okay because most were not browser specific issues and there were screenshots, but just saying "this is happening misty halp" makes things really really hard. I appreciate everyone taking the time to point this out so I can fix them, but I can't fix them if I can't find them!

      Cool.

      Also, I realize I didn't provide a screenshot for the issue I reported earlier at 9:30 AM / 12:30 PM, but I figured it was pretty self explanatory. I did say where it occurred, though. :)

      Not really that much of an issue but I guess it might be worth reporting in case.
      Sometimes I notice that the default avatars (or profile pics if you prefer) show up as just a blue line in some places. Not always though. A couple of places I've found it does this are:
      on a member with a default avatar's recent activity
      http://oi45.tinypic.com/1568kd5.jpg
      and on their follower/following list
      http://oi50.tinypic.com/4qrk94.jpg
      bot pics have the url for the page in them so I guess I won't need to say that.
      Operating system: Windows 7
      Browser: Google Chrome Version 24.0.1312.57 m

      My friend is having the same issue but he is using his own avatar. Happening to me and I use Chrome and I am pretty sure he uses firefox (will asking soon/when I can and come back and edit when I know for sure.)

      Edit: Oh, he uses Chrome. So maybe this is a browser specific problem. And it has been happening before the switch too apparently.

      I think re-downloading it may suffice. I have Chrome and never seem to have this issue myself. It may be that another application within the Browser is stopping it from loading the image. I know that all I have is ad block.

      The Post New Thread button at the bottom of forums is cut off.

      When uploading an attachment, the status text is hard to see.

      When hovering over an unselected tab on profiles, the text color is hard to see.

      This will take some getting used to. It's good and I love how everything is customized just for the site. Biggest pet peeve for me is the amount of space left on both sides of the forum and the way the post flows into the signature is confusing me on some people's posts, but the former is a personal problem and the latter has already been addressed. Anyways, good job again, staffies.

      Posting to say that I've just put up a Fixed Width option--to those having the Bug #001 problem (I've not been able to replicate it yet!), does this help at all?

      Just wanna say that I think myself and Jayn, among with many others I'm sure.
      ...WE LOVE YOU FOREVER! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BACK FIXED WIDTH! *seizure*
