Forum change...!

w3bz · 14 June, 2011, 01:30:33 PM

Hey All,

In an ongoing battle to counter abuse of this forum it drastically needed an update. Downside of course, as with everything, is that the old theme didn't work. As with last time this happened I'll be about to try and make the transition smoother but it was, at the end of the day, a necessary shift

Please report any problems / issues if they arrise!

Cheers,

w3bz

Thanks my Master... like this site, would there be more updates later with background etc into 2000AD theme?

Yeah very likely, just wanted to get the forums back up and running (already spent waaaay too long with the upgrade) so you guys didn't suffer too much downtime. I figured even with layout type gripes you'd rather be chatting away than not

Uhhhh - shiny... right lets go play...

Appreciated W3bz. I fear change, but from having run my own forums I know what a pain it can be. Keep up the tip top work

Cheers, yeah, it's a pain but we put it off long enough - and the new spam stuff installed is already working a charm it would seem (blocked 9 in the last 15 minutes) - hopefully that keeps up

Shiny and new, I like it

That's a relief - I was getting worried when I couldn't get back in earlier!

Will the "active topics" index (as opposed to unread posts) be reinstated at all as this was always my usual starting point?

Yeah sorry about that too way longer than expected, which is why we've ended up jumping the gun a bit, loosing some features but gaining others. As for the active topics, literally thought of that about 5 mins ago, will go hunting!

Good man! Feel exactly the same way mind you, it's like when you go into Tesco and they've moved the toiletries
