About the new forum software


This is the new version of the forum software. I was hoping to test it for a bit longer before promoting it into production, but losing all the files for our forum didn't help.

It has many new features.

* U2U interface is simpler and no longer pops up
* Member Control Panel is much better
- You can choose from a bunch of preset Avatars
- You can change your own custom title now
* Lots of small tweaks - you can now sort the posts to display in reverse order - think of DasDubber's 48 page monster - now you can see the latest posts on page 1 instead of page n. Just choose "Descending" order in the thread
* Multiple attachments per post (click "add attachment" on the left). Up to three attachments per post. the 50 kb limit is still in place. The forum is development, so it will not warn you if any of them do not make the limit, so if it doesn't post the image, make it less than 50 kb.
* More smilies and post icons.
* Fewer bugs and a bit faster

thanks,
Andrew

That's because the U2U quota was set to 100. I've set it back to 999.

i like it.


a few threads seem to be missing though....my thread on the new herbie movie has dispeared into cyber space. a

any chance of getting the lost threads back?

its not a huge issue.

i dont see really how screen resolution affects it. im running 1280 * 1024 and had no problems with the old forum style or this one.

WE lost everything between Sunday morning around 2 am and 4.30 pm. Someone "helped" by pressing install when I was trying to upgrade the forum and deleted our database. The backup held by our hoster is the same age.

What on earth?
I was somewhat confused when I came here and was greeted by a different beast.

I never knew there were any noticable bugs in XMB.

Still, I like it. Very nice new look. :yes:

This forum is not phpBB. subSilver is not allowed to be used with forums other than phpBB.

So... no.
