Some notes on the new board (theme, messages from the previous board, etc...)
« on: July 28, 2006, 07:15:30 AM »

This new board was put together very quickly (well, sort of.)  Read this before complaining about little things.

  • The old board did not survive when the web hosting company moved the site to a more powerful server.  The newer version of the database software on that server is not compatible with the old version of the board we were using.
  • The messages from the old board could not be imported.  The converter didn't work.  There's no point crying about it.
  • The current theme doesn't fit very well with the rest of the site.  There are a couple of reasons for this current state:
  • 1. I could not find a suitable "dark" theme.  Some didn't work, some were just horrible.
  • 2. The current version of the board is not a "final release" yet (hence the "RC2" after the version number.) This means that by the time the final version comes out, changes could be required to get themes to work.  To avoid wasting hours, I've decided to keep it like this for now, and spend more time on the issue once the final version 1.1 is released.
  • 3. This theme has a very clean, agreable layout.  You'll survive.
  • Yeah yeah yeah it's different.  But it's easy to use and more modern than the old one.  It'll take you a few days to get used to it.
  • There's a forum in this section to report problems and ask questions, make suggestions, etc... Please use that rather than pollute the other forums with those things.
  • The Jokes forum is gone.  You only have yourselves to blame.
  • No, I do not know why I've listened to the new Slayer album at least 10 times in a row so far.
