Forum upgrade

[webmaster]

The forum may be down for a while today while I install new software.

I'm installing VBulletin, which is probably the best forum system available - more info at http://www.vbulletin.com/features.php

Exciting stuff.

This will also stop unwanted intrusions by Ruski script kiddies. :roll: :? :-(

VBulletin appears to be more secure, but I don't think any forum system will ever be 100% safe.
VBulletin is developed professionally and costs money, rather than being free software written by people in their spare time, which the current PHPBB system is, so hopefully that will make a difference.

 

[webmaster]

New forum installed and hopefully working.

Please read the announcement for more details.

The colour scheme is quite good.

The colour scheme is quite good.

This is just the standard template and theme that came with it. I'll be installing others so people can choose the one they prefer.

There are other options to change the look of the forum in the control panel. You can choose to ignore avatars, images etc if you prefer just text.

Takes a bit of getting used to but looks good and a lot more professional

[MKFox]

Splendid.
Whilst I have nothing against our baize obsessed druid friends, I won't miss their folder...

Nice to have the options on the different syles, at the moment I am liking Mobile/PDA as it's the closest to the old board. But nightshift is rather splendid too. Good work webbo!

 

[Ox Fox]

By the way is everyone automatically a "senior member" or is it a badge of pride for the chosen few?

 

[BOB HAZELL]

Just checking......

This is so much better than the old forum.

Most of the smilies seem to be missing at the moment. Is this to stop Steven's wagging finger or will there be more added later? :???: (see what I mean!)
