The new message board is up and running. I’m still playing with some of our new features, so certain things may come or go over the next few weeks depending on how people use them. The new forum software integrates a lot of “social networking” features which can be great, but can also be abused. We’ll see how it goes.
Over the next couple of days we’ll be posting about new features and notable changes. We’ll also be stomping out any bugs that we missed in the beta testing. If you notice any bugs, please contact us.
Not enough people used that option to make it worthwhile to maintain it (I had to rewrite this entire theme to work with the new message board system). Maybe in the future I’ll create a new “minimal” option, but not right now.
Hmm?it looks like the spell checker we were using doesn’t work on this version of the forum, so I’ll have to find something new. In the meantime, I’d recommend installing ieSpell, which lets you spellcheck any field in Internet Explorer, or use the newest version of Firefox, which has inline spellchecking (red underline, like MS word).
Don’t know if anyone else is having this issue… when I click on a thumbnail pic for a second time, I get a message box that says ‘You don’t have permission to perform this action. Refresh page and log in again’.
You’re going to find lots of little issues. Just let Chris know. Whenever you do a big forum upgrade you lose your customizations and mods and have to start going back and recreating them. I know when I’ve had a forum running a long time you forget half the ones you’ve made and the other half won’t work for the new version and need to be rewritten.
