Sorry Richard, but the old board seemed to flow a lot better on the eye, and everything you needed was right were you needed it.
Just my 2 cents, which converted to US cents is less then 0.

No problem, of course we heard the same complaints the Last time we changed the Boards colors. In fact I think the Last time we changed the board to the previous look, we got the exact same comments we are getting now.

Yep, I remember, although I liked the new look almost from the start.
I'll stop bothering you now, and go back to staring at the Beach and wishing it wasn't raining. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

No, sorry to have sounded crabby, but it's late and I am pretty tired after getting very little sleep this weekend.

I still cannot see the SE IV forum. To get to the threads I click on the 'latest post' thing and use 'next' and 'previous' to get around.

Of course, this could be a problem with my computer.

Any advice?

Send me, via email, a screen of what you are seeing.

Odd, I can get to this thread, by clicking where it is listed as the Lastest post. But I get 'Page cannot be displayed' when I try to open the SE IV forum.

http://69.56.133.54:81/threads/postl...mp;Board=UBB23

that's the one that won't come up.

hmmm... why is it using the IP and not a name?

[edit: still can't get to it]

Because they have 'outsourced' their bulletin Boards. A reverse-DNS on that IP returns 'theplanet.com' as the owner, not Shrapnel Games. The Planet is apparently a large Internet Hosting service.

It seems to be working relatively well for me, but then I surf behind Proxomitron with a large set of filters. It could be removing or fixing all sorts of things for me that others cannot get around. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I don't think that is it. The only difference when I disable Proxomitron is that the ad banners at the top and bottom appear again. The forums look and function identically for me.

No our entire server farm as at The Planet. We are using the IP because we haven't reserved a name for this particular IP yet.

I just wanted to say Richard, thanks for all the hard work you and your team have obviously put into the Forum upgrades. I know that some people don't like some of the results (myself included), but I do know that we ALL greatly appreciate the time and effort that you've put into this, trying to make the Forums a more welcoming and pleasing place. Thanks a lot. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
