Going to be applying the latest version of the message board software this evening.
Not sure exactly when, but I'd expect it to be sometime around or after 10PM.
Upgrade will be 30-60 minutes.
LMK if anybody has any problems after the upgrade.
The new message board sucks. :o
Sorry. Could not help myself. Not actually seeing what's new. 8)
The only difference I see is the lack of a bold line between pinned and normal topics.
and a bunch of spam showing up.
The only other thing I notice is Dan's signature is blacked out (in red) for me.
yea, I know about the spam.
I like being able to search a seemingly unlimited number of recent posts rather than the last 10.
On my PDA I get a very vanilla looking board that does not show the last post or poster for a thread and doesn't show all of the controls. It just shows the different boards such as "Leagues and Tourneys" but nothing else. The indivdiual posts do not show graphics or signatures. It takes more looking around to find anything. However, the color contrast is much better on the PDA than before. Its weird because on the PC it looks and feels pretty much the same.

Is there some kind of "PDA friendly" mode kicking in? Some people with PDAs want less stuff on the page when viewing because of bandwidth issues and display size issues.
You might want to check to make sure the Yahoo Messenger icon is still there or named properly, that picture looks to be broken.
David - it also looks like your sig might have been previously taking advantage of a bug that is now fixed with the link to your email.
you probably have to do it like this:
[email=dbarish@kfeej.com][color=red]dbarish@kfeej.com[/color][/email]
I tested this, and it will give you a red text link, but the underline under the link seems to be black. Not sure if that's what yours looked like before or not.
It comes out looking like this:
dbarish@kfeej.com (dbarish@kfeej.com)
I'll have to do some more surfing around and see what else I see :)
I see the correct YIM icons... can you give me some specifics?
david - yeah I believe there is an automatic browser detect going on which is why you're getting the lite version of the board from your treo.
Looks like a good upgrade Mirth. Thanks for your continued support!!! :computer: :wav: :computer:

Hmm, I think my work is blocking that link because it returns back dynamic content (the logo based on if you are signed in or not). So it's just me :( Carry on.
Ok, here's something legit: I can't change the message icon in a post. Either start a new thread or click reply and look at the drop down for the Message icon box. It only gives you "Current Icon". usually it includes exclamation, smiley, etc etc.
Not no more! I also fixed your announcement post. Congrats! We were hoping for 03/04/05 for our daughter but it ended up being 3/9.
Just finished updating the new 'default' theme that comes w/v1.1 with various things. Turned it on for everybody... lmk if you run across any bugs.
Pretty
looks good. i havnt run into any bugs yet
Hey how come I'm not allowed to view the arcade? :(
should be good to go now.
where did the link to marshall street go? i'd like to place an order.
Heh, thanks for the reminder serg! I totally forgot about those links....:) that will be fixed very soon.
You're quick! I went to site home page and found it there...
Ah yea, that's another way to get it.
howz that look?
could both be put in the box to the right? the ms on the top looks a little out of place. maybe it's just me.
I tried that initially, but instead of side by side they go on top of each other & makes the user welcome area (that box) look huge & not very visually appealing.
Having two banners like that will end up making a lot of users scroll down to see anything on the forum pages here. It could work if you use a different Adsense option up top, like the one with just a horizontal set of 4 links and no descriptions.
Is there any way to have the latest message be the first you see rarther than the last?
meaning reverse sort order in threads? maybe... but wouldn't following conversations be difficult if you always saw the most recent reply versus the whole discussion?
Some of the threads are over a year old. I am new at the site and was looking for current news. It is a great fourm you have here the games are a nice touch. Thanks!
hmm... well, newest topics are typically on top except for pinned ones.
there is an option inside your prefs, look & layout, where you can have most recent replies on top.
