2000 AD Online Forum

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS!

Welcome to 2000adonline.com, the official website of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. I am The Mighty Tharg, Betelgeusian editor, and I recommend that you regularly stop by here for all the info you could possible ever need pertaining to 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine.

Following a server interface/wormhole event, alas the earlier incarnation of this website is in several pieces beneath Mek-Quake's tracks. But we're in the process of rebuilding it, constructing over time a new and even more zarjaz site. So keep visiting, Terrans - W3B-bot.2 and PYE-01 are working double shifts to get it up and running, but things will settle down soon. Florix grabundae for your patience, and apologies for any inconvenience.

Thrill-power will prevail!

SPLUNDIG VUR THRIGG!

THARG

A nice new forum.    Good luck with it.

Damn sight better than the old forum!  

is this the new forum or just a temp solution, dont really like it

I'm not so sure I like it either, might just be the shock of the new...

I'm sure I'll get used to it in time...

How was it decided who has Bionic fingers or is Mek Quakes left overs or a shelf stacking droid ?

   [I hope i am not Bi-Polar]

it depends on the amount of posts that you have posted. the more posts the better the ranking

Its definately an interesting change.  Did kind of like the old board aesthetic, but times change and maybe we should all move on.  Smileys?  Now no one can pretend that something has been lost in translation.....  

I like it!  I hope not too many folk had to be fed to Mek-Quake before everything was normalized!

Ooh... Look at all the  pretty  colours.

Mr Logan, if there's anything I can do to help ease the transition let me know. There's always room to accommodate

[quote="w3Hey! It looks like everywhere else! very swish! Slight issue here though - and I admit it may be to do with the fact that my monitor blew up, so now I'm using a massive old one - but the left half of the screen is missing and I can't make it come back. This makes it very difficult to see what I'm doing, or even if I'm posting in the right bit, or posting at all. Help!Oh, and if it hadn't been for facebork, I wouldn't even have noticed the board was back... Now to attempt to actually post... HOpe there are no smelling pisstakes where I can't see them! x

I don't care what it looks like, it's back!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!  

I'm sure we'll all get used to in soon though.

One question, how can I get all postings e-mailed like I could before? I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks

This new forum is a big improvement over the old one. This is what I call a forum. The old one was a bit basic.

ahh thats better, earlier in the week i couldnt read some of the stuff but the blue boxes work better.

I hope i figure it out quickly, i think i always hung out on 2000adonline forum rather than others because it was very very easy at a glance with no clicks to see what was up & running thread wise. If it takes more than 2 seconds to navigate the work-ethic guilt kicks in and i wander off & do something less fun.

Heyo luvverly people

I wasn't too sure about this at first. Kinda sorta got used to the old message board, and knowing instantly who'd be posting 'cos of their little icons.

Have to say, I do be liking this lotsly of a muchness now.

Obviously a lot of work has gone into this. So a huuuge pat on the back to all involved.

The shakes and sweats should stop now. Thanks Wake and Tharg.

critter

Ummm...too much information for me at the minute...overloading everything!!

Will take a while to get used to this!

Quote from: "W. R. Logan"is this the new forum or just a temp solution, dont really like it

Now, now Mr Logan I bet you want the old SA80 as well. We have to move with the times. I mean just look at all the lovely things the new site can do.
I love all the extras but the main thing for me is the View New Posts bit as now I don't have to fart about looking for stuff.
IT ALL COMES TO ME

Bring back 78 rpm records !

Is the chat function away noo?

I really like the new forum look and all the extras, still working out what all I can now do in posts.

 I kinda miss the old forum's immediacy and ease of use; still any problems I'm having are really down to my own lack of prowess when it comes to computers and the internet.

OOOHHH SHINY!!!!

I thought I'd host an image just to see how it looks on the new forum.

(//http://www.pinkkryptonite.com/images/pinkkryptonite/2000ad.jpg)


Looks good.

SA80, i still want my SLR back.

Still not keen on the new board, foundthe old one so much easier to use, especially as i used to get all the posts e-mailed to me.

logan you can still get things sent to your e-mail its somewhere in the user panel i think , subscribe to ...or such

Um' can someone point me to the Chat er  room or area?

Hey Krom, chat's still in development at the mo'  

Grr Arrgh, why are ther some topics that won't give me the option to reply? what am I missing? why am I so stupid?
...or is it actually your fault?

I'm guessing it's me, but y'never know...

Any chance of RSS feeds of new posts?

-pj

Sweet. Well done Wake!!!

QuoteGrr Arrgh, why are ther some topics that won't give me the option to reply?

Can you give me an example?

QuoteAny chance of RSS feeds of new posts?

Certainly plausible, I'll look into it

Apols if this has been discussed already - still having a trawl - but any idea why my Icon didn't make the move?
Do we have to resnd them again to Wake?

I like the new forums so far - a lot closer to what I'm used to elsewhere.

My only critcism is the background colour. Black text on the blue doesn't stand out terribly well. I'd much prefer a white background, or at least a much paler shade of the blue.

Regards

Robin

How about linking the old address to this new forum ? I still get the "unavailable" page when I click the icon in my bookmarks.

Or alternatively how abut a little icon to go along with this new forum?

im loving the update/upgrade

I'm with you on that one Logan. I liked having the posts mailed to me rather than having to go onto the board all the time, I want that function back. Anyone else?

Well, this thread, fine, post a reply Icon on the bottom left an' everything...
over in the events section, the Rebellion festial thread, and the win a writing gig thread, no reply icon, whassup wit' dat?

 ...still running on the assumption that I'm being a moron...

...in fact, I don't seem to be able to post topics or replys on the events section AT ALL...

so, if anyone want's a thread free of my facile pointless meanderings, you know where to go

Try the events section again. I think it should be sorted now.

i have to say that the "read latest posts" link is bloody marvelous - it gives the old rsi-fingers a bit of a break when attempting to navigate the new section structure

I deleted MAX.gif because it was 16x16, not 32x32. I thought I'd checked it wasn't in current use at the time.

Cheers,

Wake

Still getting used the changes myself. Admittedly the new board is more in line with most other boards these days in both appearence and interface. My only gripe is that some of the many avaliable options seem a bit unnecessary but that could just be something i'll adjust to.

How great is it to see the board back? It was getting sad how I kept checking every couple of days with no results. In honor of the board's new incarnation I will finally get around to getting an icon or die trying! Banzai!!

QuoteI'd much prefer a white background, or at least a much paler shade of the blue.

Me too...

w3b-BOT- The blue looks good on the BG, but if this sticks- will you ditch the white text?

Thanks for all the work, especially as you are doing it live.

Yeah those damnable links mainly. I'll keep hunting and changes things that don't work

Quick question is W3b-botv2 a new addition to the ranks of Tharg?

I thought it was Wake's new 'handle' but apparently not.

OK, just made my first post on the new board. Not bad at all, gentlemen, not bad at all.
Now - when are we getting the rest of the site back? I reinstalled Windows during the hiatus, and need some new wallpaper!

QuoteQuick question is W3b-botv2 a new addition to the ranks of Tharg?

Technically no  

Quotewhen are we getting the rest of the site back?

Aiming for this week, will keep you all posted!

I love the look though using the new board will take some getting used to: Is there a way of switching off the categories so I can just seee the latest postings from any category in order of latest posting on the same page? It doesn't seem to give me that option on the control panel. It looks like it's an attempt to kerb casual off-topic posting and keep everything firmly inside pre-determined legitimate categories.

Quotejust seee the latest postings from any category in order

Does the "View new posts" link on the front page not cover this out of interest?

Ta, that seems to do the trick.

ADE

Ah. This answers my question... I should try searching for more than two seconds next time.

1,500 posts  :oops:

I'd much prefer to see all new posts instead of going through each topic to see the most recent posts.

QuoteHave I really made only 1300 posts in 3 years?

Sounds like rank fever  

I'm still finding the board mucher harder to use than the old board.  Too disparate (maybe not the right spelling) for me and certainly doesn't have the 'easy to view or use'-ability as the old board (I can't spell immediacy, but that's what I mean).

It's certainly stopped me visiting as much as I used to.

I have to agree. I'm making an effort, and the "view new posts" thing is a help, I much preferred the old board, which is weird because I'm quite happy using boards based on a similar template to this elsewhere on teh interwebs.

Cheers!

Come on fellas. Suck it in.

It Isn't the board that makes the site its the people.

I remember being on that stage where Jim C is now. "giving it a go..." but I'm as addicted to the place already.

I know that old board was easy gossip grab and this one can be aswell but if we don't get up to date new boarders won't come and advertisers get very nervous about that most of all. Anytway As much as you're all into the auld boarde Newbies have no idea how to get to speak to all of you funtastic comic weilders.

Take it easy and don't expect too much. It'll be a lot better when the progs are up and the tuck shops open!

Hey the View New Posts is working very well though I only get about 11 results, is there any way of increasing the number to get a bigger list? Can't seem to find anything in the Control Panel.

Try "View Active Topics". View new posts only shows you threads which have been posted to since your last visit.

The active topics option is the one I use. A much nicer way of reading and it almost makes the board look like the old one.

By the way, thanks for lightening the background.

Regards

Robin

Quotecertainly doesn't have the 'easy to view or use'-ability as the old board

As well as a new skin option that will be developed at some point, there's also going to be something else. On the new site under news there's going to be a forum watch section which will show you all the latest topics and allow you to reply straight from there. Not sure this will be up and running straight away but it's certainly going to be there at some point.

I've recently started using boards more like this one, so this isn't so bad.  That's not to say that I don't miss the old board, mind...

Of course, there aren't enough angry looking smilies for my liking- but that's another story.

Oh- and well done whoever it was that made it.  I'm assuming it's Wake, but you never know.

Call me Kenneth?  Is that good or bad?

Quote from: "Matt Timson"Oh- and well done whoever it was that made it.  I'm assuming it's Wake, but you never know.

The board itself was installed by Julian Hall plus others at Rebellion. My main contribution was adding to their headaches by transferring the old usernames and messages. As some of you may remember from a few weeks ago, the old board was particularly flaky on the new server -- I think that the message IDs didn't transfer exactly, so the time was ripe for installing a new one rather than rewriting mine.

Cheers Bolt...much better!

Oooh! Nice new look to the front page (animated Dredd = cool!)

-- Mike

Glad you like ! :)

Putting the prog and meg front and center, just as it should be!

yipes !  I miss the old kooms skree page. Also now when boarders e-mail you, it comes through  Mr web-Bots ( excuse spelling ) e-mail so the only way to reply ( i assume ) is to find the boarders name and send-mail, I just trawled through 4000 + boarders names all beinging with the same letter of the alphabet so i could reply... whereas i could have just clicked 'new posts' as they'd posted recently, but i wasnt to know that.
Now this system protects privacy yes, but you know my e-mail is in the local paper and all over the web, so i don't care, I have my own methods of dealing with stalkers & freakoids. couldnt the privacy be optional? or is it? it was much easier on the ancient olde board.

am i just being thick ? I am quite old & fatigued, forgive me.

haha, woaaaa...yes I think the privacy is optional, or if it isn't it should be. Will double check!

Somebody please help! it's been 3 years since i moved to Australia and have never found a copy of 2000AD here - JD monthly yes but not the galaxy's greatest comic. is there a subscription service that delivers down under????

Try: http://www.clickwheel.net (http://www.clickwheel.net) - it's not quiet the same as having physical copies, but it's a good option.

-pj

Not that i use it very much but the search facility within the website is 10 times better than it was previously on the old site.

 Because i havent said it before and i dont think anyone else has the old messageboard was a work of genius in its simplicity and how it looked and it was really unlike any other messageboard or forum that i have ever seen since i have been online.

 Unique.

Hail the forum lawbreakers !

Ooh! Shiny new forum!  I approve.

Alfasuarus, where abouts are you in Oz?  I'm in W.A. and have no problems getting it (in Kalgoorlie) its in several of the news agents here and regular (only ever a few copies though so if they can make sure they hold it for you), its also about 8 weeks behind the UK distribution.  I know the Perth Comic shops get it in Via air so its more up to date but also costs an extra couple of bucks.

CU Radbacker

ohhh nice forum

Ive not been to the forums in a long time but have still been reading tooth.  I must say I think the new layout is Zarjaz lol.  Keep up the good work.  

Hi all. My name is Jack but just call me barrettj. I am 14 and I live in Rochdale, near Manchester. To be honest I'm not a big 2000AD fan. My dad is a big fan and has been reading sine about prog 220. He has almost all progs since and still collects them to this date. He gets our local newsagents to hold the copies and collects 4 every month. He also has many specials and classics and things.

I recently was very bored and found a prog (somewhere near 1990, I was delited that it had all new story's in it) and read the next 6 or 7 progs or so. I got really into the story's, especially Judge Dredd and Nikolai Dante. Now I think I'm gonna carry on reading future progs and I have about 1350 comics that are in my dads draw to get through   . My dad recomended the 2000AD Classic sereis to read. I read a few storys already including one where Alpha dies and one where Mean Machine is experimented on by aliens. Oh, I've also read two Judge Dredd/Batman graphic novels, Judgement on Gotham and Vendetta in Gotham.

Well, nice to meet everyone. And keep the brilliant comics coming Tharg.

Welcome aboard new squaxx. You take it slow with the progs, don't overdo it.

My eldest started reading at 12, and if he gets to the envelope before I do it's not pretty!

Yikes! Where the heck do I start? This forums 'uge. I just started reading 2000ad a few days ago. (Bought a load of Progs in a local geek shop) Since about Saturday I've been buying them like mad on eBay so I decided to join the forum to help me get a foothold on the mountain that is 2000AD but now Im even more lost and confused than I was before I signed up.    Can anybody help me? And Hi!

How do, Monkey!

What do you want to know?

Ask a question and I can assure you, you'll get the reply in no time!

I be good and damn glad I've discovered 2000AD!(Cheap and action packed FTW)

I've read a bunch of Progs featuring the ABC warriors in the 1520 area and was blown away by the story but Im desperate to know what happens next! Which issues did the next part take place in because the few issues after book one finished had no sign of the next installment which was a downer. I was also intrigued by the Origins storyline but thankfully discovered that there's an origins collection avalible. Anyway back to the point I was wondering if anybody could tell me which prog the ABC warriors storyline picked up on again and Ill get to eBay and get buying right away!

Thanks in advance.
