The New Forum Software!

#1 August 8th, 2004, 02:30 AM

Well here you go, your prayers have been answered (or left flaming by the wayside).

The new forum software is here with the forum still intact. In an effort to create a much more user-friendly look I will be shifting and editing Posts around (stickies and others) in order to bring this albatross back down to the ground. Any comments about the new software/look please keep them to this thread.

Any possibility to turn down font size (besides setting it in the browser) ?

I'm running 1152x864 on a 19", and the forum font very much looks like 14pt to me ...

I had to reregister to logon again. Is there a chance I could go back to using my original email address with this board? However the new Boards do look much nicer. I was always looking at print_topic before.

Edit: I just realized why i could not logon
I feel very foolish

The stickies have been resurrected from their crypt deep in the forum. I will also be making massive revamping changes specifically to the Game Faq and Newbie lov'ns as well as "Current Community Projects" and "Wishlist" stickies once I have these under control. I will, for now take suggestions for any stickies/ideas that are placed in this thread.

I would also like to point out one minor point. For those of you who are browserly challenged and do not like the current setup (I'm not saying it won't change) try using Firefox.

Find it here!

Any way of getting the old forum links within Posts to work w/o having to edit them by hand?

Links? You mean in the sticky threads how they are all broken ? Yes I will have to redo them in order to make them work, unfortunately.

A lot of new threads have already been covered in detail. Moderators or other forum trolls respond with links to previous Posts. These links take you to the shrapnel forum index.

Yes, they are all broken. Like the AAR's and such, I will have to relink them when I have a chance. It may be a little slower, since there are quite a few links within the frame of the forum.
