Yeah, it did before. We'll see how things go in the long run before we change that. It's obvious that anyone who's been using vB2 for a while won't like vB3 because it's unfamiliar to them. If it still sucks in a long time, we'll think about what needs changing.
Why bother switching over in the first place? What advantages does it have?
HUGE amounts, actually. I've gone through so many of them so many times - you'll find them as you go. Maybe I'll list them after I finish browsing threads.
The post number links on every post look stupid.
I like it. Maybe the number could be smaller, but it's nice to have a link that gives you one post only. It's something I always liked in IPB that vB didn't have.
Post Icons at the bottom of the posting box = retarded. Shouldn't it be next to the title or near it seeing as how that is where the smily will be.
Yeah, we're working on that one. Of all the templates, I can tell you now that the reply page is freaking awful to figure out. vB3 is very, very, very customisable, but only if you know how to do it.
All those quick VB things like /right and stuff piss me off. Just make a VB tags FAQ and don't put it in the FAQs section(that thing is really pathetic to begin with).
/right? I don't get it. If you mean the quick links, I like that stuff and I know a lot of other people do, too, so I guess it's just a matter of opinion. If you don't like it, it shouldn't mean much, since nobody is forcing you to click on them.
[quoet]Since when does the post before when you reply also show the date and time of when it was posted?[/quote]
What? Are you complaining about the fact that it shows the post time of previous posts in the reply page? Oh, come on. That's freaking helpful, ed. *thwack* Nothing to complain about at all.
Where are all the icons for stuff at the bottom of each poster?
Click on someone's name. Most of them are now there. This halves the load time of a thread.
[qutoe]What is up with this fagtastic red dot telling everyone I am invisible? Thats like running around telling people to look away because you don't want to be seen.[/quote]
See, Staff see that in vB2, actually. We can see when you're online, invisible or not. Now you can see yourself, too. Can anyone else see you? No. So don't worry. I don't like the vB3 images either, and we're still working on that stuff.
Is the real intention of switching over to a system with this many problems to piss people off into leaving the board?
Problems? It doesn't have any problems that I've seen. Just things that aren't yet finished. You obviously don't know how many advantages vB3 has to vB2. =P

I'm considering working on a seperate style that will basically replicate the vB2 style, although it will probably take months to complete. Still, keep in mind that if you give vB3 enough time to get used to it, you'll see huge advantages. There are so many extras - including many things that people have requested in feedback before but were denied (hi sig preview).

There were also a few security holes that vB2 had which are now completely gone, which is great.

EDIT: Meat Puppet, what browser are you using and which pages do you get this error?

EDIT: eest, that will get fixed asap.
