Hi Howie

Whats the go with the page banner and logo? It looks like it was done in MS Paint. Also not sure about the (century gothic?) font choice. Apart from that i do like the theme.

It's not themed yet. I selected a default theme, as there are several technical issues that need to be sorted first. This was a jump in the order of about a dozen versions so naturally everything broke. Still trying to fix it.

Lol true. I've been putting it off because of the extensions I had running on the old forum. Now we've been forced off the old platform by our data centre, it wasn't really we could really avoid. But already it feels a lot quicker and I'm hoping a lot less downtime.

Hi Howie, how does one know when a project on a forum is a proposal or under construction or SWP, it used to be label d, maybe its just me but i can't seem to find where it is written.
Cheers.

The label system was broken with the upgrade. I'm trying to find out if there is an update for the latest version of the forum. We haven't lost the data just our ability to show and edit it.

Just realised - have we lost the ability to give and receive thanks for a post? Or am I missing something?

The forum/system time is off by about half an hour it appears.

Yes you are missing something - the ability to give and receive thanks for a post. ;)

It was an extra feature Howie added to the old software, that's possibly not available now.

(Thanks for your post.)

It seems Adelaide no longer exists according to this forum software. XD

Go to the top right corner, click on your profile, click on the user control panel. Go to Board Preferences & Global Settings.

Where it talks about "my timezone", if you're in Adelaide set it to UTC+9:30. If you're lucky there will be a suggestion button you can click on.
Exit on the right in the direction of travel.

The Give Thanks mod is back but there's a styling issue which means the Thumbs icon is currently missing, we'll get to that when we re-theme the whole forum.

Topic Prefixes are back also.

Please let me know if you find anything else.
