As you can probably see the forum software has had a massive upgrade to the latest and greatest version of the SMF software we use.

No doubt a few little issues will crop up. We haven't found a theme yet that resembles what we had before... Give us time.

Post here if anything weird comes up or something looks out of place please.

Update
The bookmarks mod is gone. Go here to recover your bookmarks:
Bookmarks recovery
We'll try and get the mod back when a new version compatible with SMF 2 is released... In the meantime you can just access what you had before from the link above. I put it together quickly so it just outputs a simple list.  :nerdold:

Ooooh fancy!

I like it already, nice and clean...mouseover buttons, etc. Wicked.

I don't mind the theme actually, it makes a nice change.

Yeah, it'll probably do the job. I'd like to get the old AM read/unread icons up again though. I'll do it tomorrow probably.

Seems pretty good so far though.

Possibly related to that, I just hit the Show All Unread Posts link and literally got every post on the forum come up as unread. It's easy enough to mark them as read to overcome that though.

Ah yeah, that was a third party mod. I actually used that as well. I just had a quick look at the database. The content is all still there so I'll put together a little interface a bit later today so you can access what you had bookmarked before.

I have very minor (and lazy) quibble here but previously when I would click the button for Insert IMG/URL/etc. the cursor would automatically be placed within the tags ready for me to paste the link.

Now it defaults to the end of the code forcing me to manually click inside first. :(

When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

I don't think there's a mod for that. Facebook has it but I don't think it works too well.

I could probably code something up myself but with some of the input it'd have to deal with here it'd probably require 10 times more computing power than what my server provides. :E

That's a good point.

I reckon it's OK to double post if it's a completely new bit of info. For instance, in the Wide World of Sports Thread, which covers a range of sports, sometimes I'll post something in there that concerns a different sport to the previous post which on several occasions has been my post.

Another example is the videos thread, if you post a new, unrelated video and you happen to be the last one who posted but didn't get any feedback.

On the same note, the What's Rocking Your Shizzle threads, etc.
