Forum Software Change

[Gobalopper]

Right after the thread name are the thread page numbers but more to the right those are mod tools. They show up when you hover over the row and have moderator privileges.

If anyone wants to test out the new forum software and skin send me a message and I will add your IP to the allowed list.

[Dragoon Knight]

From what I've seen of the new software, it looks like it won't be too much of a culture shock changing over.

I'd be more than happy to test, but unless you can deal with a dynamic IP address that changes just about every day, I don't think it would be worth the hassle of constantly adding me. :)

[Gobalopper]

Wow I took a look and it does change a lot. If you have a range of IP's I could add those.

[Dragoon Knight]

Alas, I do not.  The pool is somewhat large, and you'd likely end up including half of the UK.  Put it down to crappy internet service up these parts.  Bring on Local Loop Unbundling. :(

Cannot use MAC address instead?

[Gobalopper]

Nope those aren't reported when browsing the web.

Last chance for feedback on the new forum look. Here is the latest screenshot from the main page.

[MrFlibble]

Is it going to be possible to have the old style scheme with the new forum engine?

Will The Terminal be getting the upgrade?

[Gobalopper]

Nope, this will be the main design. There is an option to get a custom skin but it costs $300.

The Terminal will probably become a sub-board as you can't have two installs.

I like it. Will take some getting used to, but I like it.

[athanasios]

Jpg's are not good for screenshots. Nevertheless I suspect it is nice. Only I think that the silver title should be a bit more darker to fit with the rest. If we had a png screenshot we would see more clearly...

[Gobalopper]

Here you go.

[athanasios]

It kicks ...! Me likes it! ;-)

[MrFlibble]

Can't say I really like it, but it looks okay.

When is the change going through?

[athanasios]

When it will be ready. LOL!

[SandChigger]

Will the new software have an "ignore posts by obnoxious moron trolls" feature? :)

[athanasios]

As long as we can mark certain members as foes and make their posts, name and avatar invisible I am content.

[Dante]

I think there was an option like that once... That there no longer is suggests that it didn't find favour.

[Lord J]

Hi,

I'm against any change in the forum software. Or, to be more exact, I'm against any change without a clear benefit. We shouldn't be upgrading just for the sake of upgrading. What are the benefits

WTF is this nonsense on my FED2K?

Ask Edric, he was the first to post those sentences on first page. ;)
