Website and Forum / Downtime...
22 July, 2008, 06:13:50 PM
Should be back up tomorrow. We had a problem with email forwarding so had to monkey around with the domain settings which reset everything back to default...hence no site. Painful but necessary

Website and Forum / New 2000 AD Plain Style
16 July, 2008, 11:33:19 AM
If you go into your User Control Panel - Board Preferences and then select "2000 AD Plain" from the list you'll get a bog standard skin for all those with issues or colour impairment 
As a side note, Prosilver counts as the default as that's the one we modded.

Website and Forum / 2000 AD Online
09 July, 2008, 11:22:11 AM
I felt it time to give you all the breakdown of what will be happening with the main 2000 AD Website. There has been quite a change already with regards to the forums, and the website will no doubt come as a shock to some of you. So here's the reason why...
About a year ago we had a sit down and a discussion with regards to the future of the website and decided that we loved the content, but we wanted to make changes to the structure and the design. The main problem was time...
That's pretty much the same problem now; only with the recent server move it felt about the right time to give at least some elements a go. So, with that in mind we got our main design underway. Now comes the interesting bit.
We wanted to get the site online as fast as possible, but with limited functionality. I made the point of saying that if a feature was requested for one of the pages, adding it in after might be long-winded. So that's where you lot come in – get involved!
When the website goes online shortly it will have:
This Week – Front page with latest news, progs, megs and GN details.
History – About 2000 AD
Community – Link to this forum
Which leaves:
News – To include expansion of the front-page news and a forum watch feature
Characters – As you're used to but with an A-Z and more artwork
Creators – Information on creators, linking to characters etc
The way we're going to be working it is that on a reoccurring time (yet to be decided) we will effectively be patching the website to include new features in a bundle. What I'd like you all to do is list features that you'd like to see in each section or even in an overall sense.
I stress that nothing can be too big or too small a request to ask for. While we can't guarantee that ever single request will get added, we'll be working on the basis of doing the most important or the most asked for requests to be added first and work from there.
As well as this post there are going to be 4 other sticky posts in this topic, one for each heading and a general request post.
While change can be dramatic, we're hoping that you'll all want to contribute to shaping the site the way you all want it!

Website and Forum / Forum - Smilies and Other Options
25 June, 2008, 10:07:22 AM
For those of you who don't like to see Smilies or Flash Animations etc, you can change your settings to prevent the displaying of such in your Control Panel.
Use the link at the top of the page to go to your User Control Panel
Under the Board Preferences tab there's a Edit Display Options section
Here you can change how the forum handles images, flash, smilies, signatures, avatars and censoring to suit your personal preference.

Website and Forum / The New Forums
25 June, 2008, 07:58:03 AM
Hey All,
Hopefully the transition over to the new forums will be as painless as we hope!
To help you direct your issues to the right person:
Wake has been handling post and user transfers from the old forum so that everything should be the same as before, except with the new layout and functionality of this forum. If you have any problems with posts or your username and can't solve the issue then post here and Wake'll help out.
I've been sorting the design and permissions for users. While the design is still undergoing changes you may experience text that's difficult to read or some interesting colours. Although you'll have to bear with us on that, if there's any part to the site that needs changes then give me a shout.
Other than that, welcome back!
