Phew, finally done!

Seems to have gone well, at least I haven't noticed anything that I've managed to break. I'm sure somebody will let me know if I have.

One extremely annoying thing is that the report post function is still broken. I'm really going to have to get off my bum and ask the nice IPB folk to look into that for me, because I just can't see how or why it's broken. Should get that fixed next week anyway (they're away for thanksgiving atm).

Quite a few bits have changed, the majority are minor changes but the devil is in the details, as they say. I'm not going to list them all because I'll be here all night, and I think most are pretty obvious anyway.

You may also notice that the secondary skin(s) titled 'Elegance' are no longer with us. They haven't yet been updated to work with the latest version of the software, so I decided to dump them and get a new one instead. The new one is called 'Uniform' (you can change to it via the 'change theme' link at the bottom of the forum) and I think it's pretty nice as it allows you to use your own custom background.

One last thing, you'll notice a new 'Contact' link at the top right. This isn't fully functional as yet, for the moment all it will do is send an email to me, but it's quite customisable so I plan on making full use of that. I'll probably put up a post with details when I / we have had a chance to test it properly.

Right, I think that's it, though I'm bound to have forgotten to mention something, I always do!

Any questions / problems etc, feel free to post them below.

Font so small... Eyes Must Adjust

[Jackie]

It is quite a small font, I'll have a tinker and adjust that tomorrow.

*edit*

Also, I think some smilies may have gotten lost. I'll track those down too.

Good work Jackie.

There doesn't seem to be a button to mark posts read, have I missed it somehow? I use the 'view new content' link to bring up stuff I haven't read and just pick out the ones I might be interested in and mark all as read after reading them. Now I'll have to open every thread to have them removed from the new content list?

[Fad]

I was just looking for that button myself !

Great job Jackie....it must have been a right headache.

There's a 'Mark Community Read' link (not a button, just a link) at the bottom of every page. Is that what you mean?

[Fad]

That`s it ! Thanks...I didn`t see that at all

(and it takes you back to the front page)
