Welcome to the new website & forums! We've made a lot of changes, so I'm sure there are a few things we've missed along the way. If you've spotted anything that needs additional adjustments and tuning, or something isn't working at all, let us know here!

Its not really an issue as such, but whats with the vote post up/down thing at the bottom right of every post (which doesn't actually work)?

EDIT: Ive just spotted, why are there two fields on edit profile for Skype ID?

EDIT2: Im not sure the board legend icons are working right. Ive read the new posts in all active threads but the icons still show new posts in the Lounge/Mytheon sections. Clicking Mark all boards as read fixes it temporarily (until new posts are made).

Congrats on the board update, looks nice. I just have a small question; what happened to the blue and white board theme that was up for a little while? Is it possible to have it as an optional skin? Apart from its great look, I prefer the lighter color theme.

Edit:
Never mind. Looks like my browser was stuck on the black theme, visiting my profile reverted to the light color scheme.

Oops.  I just tried the different themes and lost the black/blue Petro one :(

Themes are broken, as is the Rep system (which is rubbish in ipb anyway :p), the links at the bottom for seeing who's doing what are available to everyone...

I could go on if you want ;)

I suppose one man's blessing is another man's curse. It might be a good idea to have a couple of skin options available.

The links are there but you just get an error message if you try them (which i did, naturally).  I liked it in the old days when you could see who was reading what thread when :p

Guess we didn't set any reputation quota ;) Well, we've decided to disable the system. For now at least.

Good call. One removed (I verified that no data was lost).

I think it's lit up if there's any unread posts. You can click the icon to mark the forum as read.

Uhm, what? At the bottom should be a drop-down box of themes. IPB, IPB Lo-Fi and Petroglyph should be in there. If selecting it doesn't help, try to do a full refresh (Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5).

The Petroglyph theme is not showing in the menu, even after clearing the browser cash and refreshing the page.

I tried Ctrl+F5 and Shift+F5 and still don't see the Petroglyph one:

I also would like maybe a couple of other choices for board sheme/theme/style or whatever you wish to call it. Choice is always good :)

I think the Petroglyph logo/link at the top needs fixing. On every other page it takes you to the site index, on the forum it only takes you to the forum index :lol:

I like looking at the last click whos online thing, Its can be useful when you see somebody only who you are waiting for a reply from, and can see if there are replying to a thread or something. That or i just like being nosey :D

Oh yeah, that's one of the things we're still working on... we either need to pay to get the IPB 3 version, or find a module that someone developed. Any ideas?

:o Does this mean all your pics/comics are gone?

EDIT: Can URL links in posts be made to open in a new tab/page rather than the current one (i think thats how it worked before)?

EDIT2: Mike, im still not convinced the Board Legend icons on the main index are working right..

EDIT3: Nitpicking, but perhaps the text on the forum indexes might be better off all the same colour? (at the moment half are white and half are blue) :p
