I preferred the old colours I was using (I think it was the default blue). Plus how do I go back to where I was up to on each thread?

Also when I post the page doesn't go back to the thread. I have to go to the board index and start all over again? WTF?

This site is mirroring our team - almost unwatchable!

How do we get better colours? Do we have to pay?

Our 1.2 million posts took half a day to migrate into the new version of the software.

Bells and whistles still to be added.

5861 users of 7272 users were using the style Extreme Dark Red by Vinnie having chosen to switch from the default Saintsational style (1362 users) with a few remaining users split between 4 other styles.

Extreme Dark Red by Vinnie wasn’t available for this version so we picked something similar. Not exactly the same of course.

We shall add some styles to switch to but not all of the old versions are available for this neeer version of the forum software.

By the way these phpBB “experts” based overseas say they have never worked on a forum this big and active before and that in itself has presented some unique challengers!
Thanks Simon for undertaking the work. Much appreciated. Would be awesome to have some lighter background options available as this black background isn’t very user friendly for me. Cheers.

absolution theme as well please simon.
and what a good time to join the 21st century and allow embedding videos.
they are just like images, only 24 of them every second. actually they are more private than images as the user makes the choice as whether to see them or not.

Think that's just a link to phpBB bulletin board - you can view demos of different styles, but there's no option on this site to change - perhaps the admin need to download extra styles and add them to display options?
If so, add Absolution style please. And the native white and blue on the phpBB board.
oh -you're right! my bad :o|

Thanks for your work Simon.

I, and probably a few on here I’m guessing, want to contribute some $$$ to the upgrade.

I know you’ll probably say “no” but even $10 or $20 here or there from a few of us is warranted.

If you PM your bsb/Acc I’d love to make a small contribution.

This forum could not be more shithouse.
Looks hopeless, has no features and the only traffic is endless arguments.

Move to Big Footy, put Plugger66 on ignore and enjoy.

Thanks!

So what features do we not have that BigFooty has - besides Plugger?

Will be happy to see if these experts can add them while we are at it.

You've contributed 1843 posts. There must be something that keeps you coming back. What a rotten post. Just bagging the efforts of people chipping in out of their own pockets voluntarily. Zero class.
