Well, its back and it looks... interesting.

I will reserve judgement on it for a few days, it always takes time for a change to feel right.

Didn't think I had that much to drink last night.

It is quite grand isn't it?

I'm slowly finding my way about although my last post appears rather "sig-less"

Edit - it appears to have sorted itself now

It's just a more subtle shade of orange. I think it kinda merges each post into each other which is confusing me a bit but I guess I'll get used to it.

Would admin be able to make the "new posts in this thread" icon slightly darker - the two look very similar...

All in all, it looks pretty cool though!

Try it and find out, or look in the new FAQ.

The change is positive, I had seen the look of this before anyway, as when they relaunched phpBBs site it was with the new software. It's different but it's good, it will always take time to get used to.

I very much like that when you go into a thread on the wrong page (i.e., you've read all of that page earlier and the new posts are on another page) when you then load the correct page, the relevant posts are still shown as new.

are they - that was something that I didnt like with the old board.

Can I ask admin why they use phpbb and not invision? Is it a license / cost thing?

Personally I prefer Invision because of the amount of configuration you can do, though I know some people see it as overkill.

Just testing something...

Thanks.
