Sorry not a fan. But I am one of those people who doesn't like change.
And what is this character limit about? People like Doug and Mr Fozzer are going to be stuck. Wink

Can we have the old ones back?Dec 4^th, 2006 at 10:02am

Lips Sealed

Edit: At least the standard forum time is now GMT. Makes things much easier.

At least this set up tells of of the character limit. The old one would just say "Post too long. HAHA"

The look will take a little getting used to. Maybe we can keep an "oldtimer" forum open in YAbb format! Grin

I think one thing we do now need is a vertical limit for sig size, as it's frustrating scrolling down a plage, then it stops to scroll a sig, then continues - and if the thread been posted on with that sig more than once, it happens each time...

Would it be possible to have the last post time also in bold text, not just the "Today" part?

What are you going on about Craig? Ah, I see it now. Smiley

Doesn't worry me anyway. I tend to keep my posts short & sweet nowadays. Tongue

Looks a little weird on my pocket PC. Some posts seem to have a very narrow text wrap, while others go off the screen and need to be scrolled. I'll compare them on my PC to see if there's a reason.

Very efficient changeover though chaps, well done! 8)

All complaints .. don't assume this it IT.

This is simply the main install. Like a car straight out of respray booth.

Had to make it live due to time & resources to convert messages.

Over then nect short time we will refine things.

& then ........

Convert to a PHP based forum.

Reason? Because PHP is far less server hungry & has more scope. I aim to keep changes to a minimum.

As for visuals right now - they will change & be improved.

Please always remember that Simviation genuinely IS run for our users. No one could ever offer a coherent argument against that. When it comes to the site -- We listen - we act (when we can) Wink

.

Think Global. It's the world we live in.

Well i've gotta say it: PHP! if this thing still uses flat-file databases im going to cry Cry

But this is okay, the colour scheme is cool, but it just isnt SimV if you know what i mean. I'll get used to it. Good work!

Hi everyone!

I'm a new user here. I had been reading these forums occasionally for the past number of months, but never joined until now. To tell you the truth, this new forum layout inspired me to join up.

And what a great new forum layout this is! The color theme is much better, and much more professional than the old one. Compared to the Avsim and Flightsim.com forums (which are both so old and archaic forum formats that they belong in the prehistoric era of the internet) who never seem to upgrade their forums, I have to commend you for doing a great job for being on the forefront of adopting new and improved technology so that our communty can better share and communicate with each other.

Do you know how to write CSS? I fixed it with:

Code:

.scroll{overflow:hidden !important;}
