Welcome to the new forum

Post by masterofinsanity »

Hello all and i hope you have all made it over to the new forum.

Why the move??
PHPBB3 is the latest development from the PHP team.A much better feel to the whole forum, more updated looks and features, also a complete clean install which should make the forum run more smoothly.I have been testing this forum for a few days and as far as i can see there are no gliches.If anyone does have any problems then please inform me.

You may have to clear your cookies from the old forum to allow you to login, if anyone has problems please don't hesitate to contact me.

As far as i can see we have had no losses with the transfer, maybe the last couple of posts made within the last hour?

Enjoy!

Nice update, just is it possible to "tone it down" a little. Extra skins ect?

might just be me but lots of bright colours this early is never a good thing!

i fear change!

but that's just many years of using phpbb2 boards with default skins.

don't think the icons for unread posts, etc are as clear as before. doesn't seem to be a key to tell you what they mean either.

i'm sure we'll get used to it.

Its too loud man. Hurts my eyes and is much harder to read ..

With so many forums its hard work with the roll over colours and too much blue meshing together.

The old one was fine, clean and easy to see on every sort of screen.

:(

Can you allow oc members to set their own theme preference?

I can't get on with this theme mate. Seriously. :(

Arrghh, I'm confused, there's too many buttons, it will take some time to get used to it but I'm sure it's for the best!! :smt003
