Now 1/2 hour past the outage time. Perhaps I'm on the ghost of BAUT!

As per ToSeek:
It's also possible that technical difficulties will be encountered sufficient to call the whole thing off for the time being.

So sorry for the mess. Images are uploading now. Pamela is quite sick and needed to go to bed prior to sorting all the threads. We're deeply sorry.

Two post-merge questions. Above my user name is the date and time I posted this. It's a white font on a white background. Can we maybe bump the contrast up a bit?
Second, Things will eventually be as fast as before right? Please say right. Wait Please HONESTLY say right. It just took 25 seconds to open this thread.

Looks like it worked. But, one thing I notice is missing: The date/time that a message is posted. (This message posted at 6:33 AM ET, 7/11/2012.)

The site also seems to be quite slow at the mo'.

A the very bottom of the page is a skin selector that will allow us to change back to vB4 Default Style. This looks like the old BAUT, complete with date/times you can see and the hidden settings button. I can't find a way to show "what's new" that lists just the thread titles and not the user avatar and the first lines of the message. That gives me a sad.

Well my profile made it through, despite all the money you paid Pamela to delete me. All looks fine but the page counter color looks like BAUT to me and not having seeing any images just boxes with xs. But give them time all will sorted out.

A few things are being worked out. The date (as I understand it) is there written white on white (D'Oh!). The next day or two should fix a lot of things.Originally Posted by Nowhere Man

I'm pretty sure I saw images earlier on, at the very least my avatar. Now they appear to be all gone, which is probably why the site is also working much quicker

Yahoo, I got in.
I know it may take some time to get the annoying little oversights repaired, and I have no issue with that. It always seems to go that way with upgrades/moves.
But; I propose you start a thread of known issues with updates and/or workarounds as these get worked out. And, make it locked so it doesn't get messy with "me too" replies. Perhaps a second thread for us to report problems.
The post date/number is a good one to mention since it is possible to see with highlighting.
Another thing I noticed was triple posting over here

I see we are back to the horrible default smilies.
Order of Kilopi
Oh for the love of god! What have they done?!!! (Technically, smilies aren't showing for me. I'm not too distraught.)
I see we are back to the horrible default smilies.
The color change was jarring for an old-dog like me, but then I found the option to revert back to the default like BAUT used. I was all excited to share this, but that Tog jerk beat me to it by a few hours. (Tog isn't really a jerk, but for all the CQ'ers that don't know him yet, I thought I'd set up a bad-boy persona for him. You're welcome Tog.)
I noticed that there are a few sub-fora that seem redundant. Like General->Random Chatter / General Interest->OTB, but I assume that's the kind of organizational thing that will drive the mods/admins to the bottle over the coming days and weeks.
And just for the record, I'm never going to stop referring to posters as BAUT'ers. Not out of some deep seeded rebellion or resentment, but because my simple mind is not able to override 5+ years of learned behavior. Sorry.

I've tried to fix this. If I haven't, please let me know.
Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.

Just made everything a nice calming shade of blue...looks just like BAUT.

No worries...Hope she feels better soon.

For dumbies like me, it is not labeled "skin selector". It is a drop-down box in the lower left corner and the default says something like "Cosmoquest". Click the dropdown and you see the other styles.

Someone went the extra mile and bought us blue wallpaper, too.
