    As you can all see, we've had another facelift. I hope the changes made make the board easier to use and will encourage people to post.

    Please let me know about anything you find that isn't working below.

    I'm already aware of the following:

    1) The "Last thread" link on each forum not working. This is a bug associated with the move and it will start to work when new threads are posted or old ones are updated.

    2) Certain smilies aren't displaying - I'm having to add these all back in manually. They should display properly after a few days.

    3) Some media (youtube, soundcloud) etc isn't working properly. This is because of the way vbulletin displayed it - I'm looking into this now. Any new media links posted should work without any problems.

    Logins and passwords haven't changed. You can log in with your previous username and password, or you can log in with your email address. For those of you who've never used this place before, you can log in using either facebook or twitter.

    I like it. Nice and modern. Could do with a few things tidying up though. The font when looking at a forum (for threads titles etc) is a bit big in contrast to everything else. Where it says "mark all forums read" in the green bit at the top, that also looks out of proportion. I love the font for inbox etc though - what is it?

    i like when you post, a little loading animation pops up in the corner, and the slide down confirmation boxes look nice too :)

    Few issues;

    Takes a while to load up when viewing on my phone.
    When looking at 'what's new', the threads are all different sized fonts.

    Bar those, it all looks blob on. Like Kieran said, teething problems are to be expected but I'm looking forward to learning to use the boards all owa again :)

    Pop a 40 and check your rollies - its Blyth Tyme!
    These trophies are going to make somebody at Sony a very unhappy man.

    Just checked out that events thingy really good idea having the location map thing, will work out nicely for Digital Society at Hoults Yard seeing as I don't have a fuck where it is!

    This board is probably the most highly advanced forum any of its 20 users will ever see.

    I'll look into that and see if there's a way to change it.

    Verdana. I'll adjust the font sizes for the bar to make it look better :)

    I can set it up so the more points you get, you win features and abilities on the board. As a basic one - if you have over 1200 posts you get a frontier trophy which grants you access to that which shall not be named.

    yes.

    If you go to the bottom left of the site, you can change themes as well - there's a mobile one in there which looks good on the iPhone :)

    I don't think so, I've tried it on my iPhone and it hasn't kicked me onto mobile on this PC.

    Give it a go and let me know :up:

    Classic.

    How does the events page work then? I notice it isn't jam-packed full of all the events nobody gives a fuck about. Do you choose what goes in there? Might be a good idea to have some upcoming events on the home page.

    I never know what's on these days, so could be good as long as it stays uncluttered.
