Welcome to the new forum!

[TheModDoctor]

Thanks Ron for putting the "Unanswered posts, View new posts & View active topics" links at the top of each thread... makes life a whole lot easier...

Oh yes!

One question, is it possible to make bolded text appear bolder than what it currently is? As the style is now it's hard to see if text has been put in bold or not.

[GreyWolf]

could I just ask why and who it was decided to move to this new forum?

was there something specifically wrong with the old one?

It was a decision made by PC Format itself iirc.

was there something specifically wrong with the old one?

Yes. It was slow, prone to MySQL crashes, and buggy; something to do with posts and the word union?

Lol, wonderful summary there, Xiphan! Wouldn't have been quite the same without noting the problem with the word "union."

[Stuart]

Won-Won, can we PLEEEEZE add this smiley to the array?

[Prime]

And i have one aswell, its the counter to lurkers. i just can't get it to host properly and show up but i can email it?

[Xiphan]

What about these:











And the following is especially for those very descriptive posts often made my jamin:

I just think a new smiley set would be nice. I really love the smileys on Systemshock. Here are some:










The whole set is really nice.

I don't think smileys are important in terms of forum upgrades, but it would be nice

I agree ... SS has awesome smilies. Except they don't have and .

@Ron2K: i've thought up a few new BB tags we could do with..

[TLOSTSC][/TLOSTSC] - anything posted between these tags gets spell/grammar checked ... this way we can permit all those intent on butchering the language to do so without exposing anyone to the effects...

[TLOSTSC-HK][/TLOSTSC-HK] - uses the number of spelling/grammatical errors in the offending post to construct an insulting haiku aimed at the offender...

[MIP][/MIP] - turns anything remotely spammy into an insightful post...

i trust you'll agree that these are most necessary for improving the overall forum experience and will be implementing the necessary changes posthaste

i'll be sure to drop you a reminder or two over the next few months...

OI, RONALD!!!

you are right.... what would I do without that one?

[Stuart]

implementing the necessary changes posthaste

I read this line about four times and kept reading "toothpaste." I was trying hard to see the connection. Then, suddenly, the clouds cleared and I could read again.

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Okay, i have another gripe. As far as i can tell, 800px wide images can no longer be displayed

I've only tested this once though. Let me try again.

EDIT: *image removed*

Hmmm. My mistake

BTW, any chance we can have the sidebar back?

We are considering starting a poll for this. If there is enough interest (and we're not sure there is) Ron has promised that he will get cracking on the code pronto to make sure it works. Hang in there!
