Welcome back!

In case you haven't noticed, we've upgraded the forums to phpBB3. Quite a lot has changed, so feel free to have a look around and see what's new. There could well be bugs cropping up with the new system, so please report them in the Bug Tracker:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24

The old forum archive is offline for the moment (I needed the disk space for the upgrade), but I'll try and get it back online soon.

Cheers all,

~T

Oh, and I'm currently building the search index... so for the time being, searching will not work.

The username on the right is going to mess me up for a while. I'll manage. :)
Can this not be changed? I've never seen a forum with the user info on the right.
Quite possibly. I'll look into having the option to change it on a user by user basis. I have to say, I actually prefer it now that I've got used to it. The (mostly) irrelevant details are kept out of the way on the right hand side, letting the main body of the post take precedence.

This is awful, sorry. Can you add the old design as a theme?
Unfortunately not, themes from phpBB2 aren't compatible with the new system.

I've just noticed that when you upload an avatar it doesn't get automatically resized. I'll look into getting that re-implemented.

Actually, you can add what is called the "Subsilver2" theme, which looks just like the old theme and it is compatible with phpBB3. See thread here.I just registered there and was able to choose Subsilver2 which looks almost like the old style with the profiles on the left.

If that's what it sounds like, please try it, cause this theme is not cool.

I think instead of replacing this theme with a phpBB 3-compatible version of our old default theme, it may just make more sense for tom to spend some time finishing at least one Mac OS-like theme that we can all enjoy.
