New Forums, Please Read

[PranK]

Hi Guys,

Ok, a lot of you are unhappy about the new forums, so hers a quick FYI for you

1. New styles are coming, I'll enable the use of the 'stock' style in the meantime, might make it easier.

2. IPB2 is a quicker forum package than VB, sure some options have been removed but I am working hard on getting them back

3. Please be patient, and document any problems/ideas etc in this thread of forum.

The VB smilies are coming soon, check your CP for options for the quick reply, you each have a blog now and I am working on a garage/timeslips registry + the trader ratings again.

If you are having problems with permissions, send me an email.

Christian

PM Space - this has been affected by the migration, everybody is getting their space back.

Navigation up the top will be revamped shortly with a menu system.

Speed will pick up, when complete the forums will be faster than VB.

I am working on the 'Contributor' & 'Trader' etc icons to come back

Trader Ratings are still in the db, working on the display of them

This has been updated to be enabled by default for every forum now!

Lots of silly little problems, but in the end everything will be much better. The forum could have been kept offline for a longer period until everything was 100% but it's best to have it online I think!

Site seems to be pretty good..

One of the only things i miss though is when you used to hover your mouse over the topic title. it would come up with like the first paragraph or so of that post.

I thought that was a great addition and made surfing the forums much quicker

Either way. i think once everything is finished it will be better than the old one

hehe. *my 2 cents

And by the way, what is a blog?

I second that. It made browsing much quicker.

Also, people's location should be compulsory, especially useful in the trading section.

Hi Christian - I suspect you are busy!

Is the 'stock' style something we have to pick (I couldn't find anything in the control panel) or is that what we are using?

If you need help testing styles etc, I'm happy to help.

ps As a rough rule of thumb, just about no web site works with a very dark background as the contrast with most colors - except white and yellow - doesn't work, with green and blue particularly bad...
