Greetings,
We've changed the forum design around abit (as I'm sure you can see). The aim was to get rid of some of the clutter from the old design and make things abit more streamlined. None of the controls have changed, just the design. We will be rolling out a brand spanking new front page design very shortly which will give us a great deal more flexibility when publishing content (articles, news and such). The forum redesign sort of ties in with this. The current front page design is only temporary and will be changing significantly shortly. Those who do not like the new forum design have the option to change back to the previous design via their control panel - However, please note, the old design is now no longer supported (meaning will no longer be updated) and will not evolve with design changes and future implementations on the Bogiez website. There may be a few very small glitches (aesthetically and function wise) which I'll be ironing out ASAP. As always when we make changes to the site I'd appreciate if anyone encounters any problems, please send me a PM detailing the issue in as much detail as possible. Cheers, Tom -------------------- Control the airwaves, fuel the reaction, use every weapon of mass-distraction.

It feels a bit...odd. Although progress is good and I understand the need to streamline things.

seems quicker to me. and it's a hell of a lot better IMHO having things spread across the page. easier to read, less scrolling required. the purple on black isnt that easy to read though, but i can do it, cos im special.

QUOTE (StrappingYoungLad @ Aug 25 2008, 01:53 PM) is it just me or does this site appear to load a whole lot quicker than it used to ??QUOTE (ChestRockwell @ Aug 25 2008, 02:23 PM) seems quicker to me. Glad you both noticed - Yeah it is quicker. Got rid of some of the unnecessary graphics and have tweaked some of the php caching options. The overall width of the site has been increased which as Chesty noticed makes for better reading...I hope it doesn't cause issues for those with smaller screen resolutions/sizes. From the site logs, 90+% of people who visit the site are 1024+ resolutions so shouldn't be an issue for the majority. Very cool to hear people approve! Any suggestions let me know.

I know you say it's still being tweaked Boss, but can I say that the only thing that I'm missing is the fact that when you clicked on the topic before, it would automatically take you to the last post - which was good
 I did notice that it was quicker, but just thought that my laptop was being good for a change! -------------------- I will argue until you are red in the face!
