I think you have destroyed your own "house". For me, no more interst to come here : a "ghost hall" ...

I've moved your post here to the official thread for complaints/concerns/opinions about the new forums. Your post was made in a SPWW2 press release thread from 2006 which was unlikely to be seen.

1-What specific area of the forums are you looking for? The SPWW2 forums? They are found here: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/forumdisplay.php?f=139

2- Were your user name and log in name different on the old system? As posted in our announcements before and after the conversion, that would impact your ability to log into the new forums.

I have changed the way forums are marked as read from cookie/inactivity based to being done by the database. Your initial flags since this change may be messed up because it will most likely mark everything as new. I have no idea how this will affect performance and if it is too labor intensive we may have to revert back to cookie based; however, for now this *should* remove the issue with marking things read.

Ah, thanks! I was wondering what happened just now.

Well, I appreciate everyone's understanding of the slight burp in what was becoming the normal operation of the forum (since I really wanted this fixed!). But I just wanted to say, that from what I can tell, one click of the "Mark Forums Read" button to clear the chaff, and things are functioning much more like before - thank you! <3

Did someone say they needed a new favicon for the site?...



Will this simple one do? (you'll need to remane it and place it in the right spot, but I know you can do that.)

Cheers!

I think that this favicon is way better than the current one. Very nice! What does the current favicon resemble, by the way? Super Mario?

I like the current favicon

it reminds me of the color scheme for the old site ;p

I haven't yet decided if it figured a mushroom or an english colonel with his moustache.

See, that's what I had in mind. It's simple and matches the site.

The old favicon looks like this...



looks like a highly reduced scale of the "Shrapnel Games" oval at the top left of website.

I don't see how that reminds you of the old site.

Cheers!
