Forum Update

[moOmL]

Umm i had a thread in "the light switch" section or whatever it's called... where did it go?

[d_stilgar]

I just noticed that the "mark as read" button is gone or moved.

[DaveW]

what was the name of the thread?

the mark as read button...i can't remember where that was to be honest, i don't think i ever used it...

Keep this stuff coming guys, a lot has changed-not all of it visible.

Due to the upgrade, we've lost some of the original formatting: most notably, the user profiles and the rounded silver boxes that used to surround posts.

Although i can restore these, it's quite a lot of work, and it might be easier to improve the appearance of the current template than try and get the old ones to work with the (much, much) newer system.

What do you guys think? Are you going to miss the silver post boxes, or the old profile layout? Let me know in this thread.

You can also PM me if you like.

I've taken a bold step and become the first person to add a 'call me through skype' button to my profile. Don't abuse it, but feel free to give me a call. Good luck understanding my accent if you're not Scottish.

Not going to miss the silver box and go for the new profile layout, change is good.

My favorite accent is the scottish or gaelic drawl. While hitchhiking down through the loch's we stopped at a bar right next to one of the loch's (not sure which one) and ordered cider. When we walked in a group of old men gave us some guff for being american and when we ordered cider they asked us to sit down and chat. It took me most of the rest of the day to understand even 20% of what they were saying... OR maybe it was the cider. The more I had the clearer they spoke...

(sorry, back on topic now...)

Thanks for the feedback guys-love to hear some more opinions and agreements, disputes, whatever.

Something like "Info on lights".

If you find a thread missing, search for it. My NES PC topic disappeared, but was there when I searched for it. I just posted again and it was back. I think it had something to do with how much time had passed since the last post.

I was a little disoriented with the new icons, but I got used to them pretty fast.

I had that problem too but I fixed it: go to the bottom of the forums and somewhere around there is a option to change the range of posts shown. By default it only shows like stuff in the last month or something like that.

Hope that helps a little.

Some of the older posts may be showing up, for exactly the reason Indybird mentioned. You have to change some of your settings - it looks like it set some of them back to default.

I've fixed the icons to our good-old custom ones.

Thanks for the bug reports so far, we're doing what we can to keep up with them. Please continue to let us know if you notice anything.
