New forums

Chern Ann · 10-25-2009, 09:00 AM

We've just upgraded our forums to some spanking new software. You'll also notice that your PMs have been upgraded with *gasp* threading, sent and generally a nicer interface.

CMoN supporters get to keep 1000 PMs in your inbox, the rest of you lot will need to make do with 50 :)

Alas, expect a LOT of bugs, it wasn\'t easy chucking out a 8 year old forum so things will be a little wonky for a while. CMoN supporters will soon have nicer things like bigger avatars in forums etc.

Ooooooh!

Looks weird

Necroghast · 10-25-2009, 10:11 AM

Hmm... I don't know! Its going kinda slow for me. Also, it looks like a lot of old threads have been deleted. And what happned to our post counts and "posting freak" and stuff like that? I don't see it.... I'm gonna have to get used to this!

freakinacage · 10-25-2009, 10:17 AM

looks like some cool new stuff but it will take a while to get used to. can't wait to have a look at home, it's massively slow at work

A Luna · 10-25-2009, 10:48 AM

Looks like there is some new nice stuff, but I do like the older forums more. These look like some free silly forums

Chern Ann · 10-25-2009, 10:54 AM

That was my screw up due to a misconfiguration, should be much nippier now.

Necroghast · 10-25-2009, 10:56 AM

Oh, hmm I'm a Freak now! What are the # of posts that determine the rankings now?

Amazon warrior · 10-25-2009, 10:58 AM

H'mmm, for some reason I can't upload my avatar - might not be CMON's fault tho! And maybe the "missing" threads will get uploaded as the kinks are worked out?

Edit: Hey, I'm a superfreak now? I thought I had about another 3000 posts to go before I reached such a lofty position! lol

SJB · 10-25-2009, 11:42 AM

Much prefer the new forum software. Nice to have the 'new posts' option

devoncodain · 10-25-2009, 11:55 AM

It is different shouldn't be hard to get used to though.

Occultist · 10-25-2009, 12:08 PM

Looks good so far, only bug I've found is that I can't access my "Add/Edit Pictures" page.

Lord Maggot · 10-25-2009, 01:27 PM

I love them to be honest. Was never keen on the old forums layout. Used to get logged out constantly.

Matt Cexwish · 10-25-2009, 02:24 PM

Achievements, eh...?...

I guess this opens a whoooole new world to our little freak contest here...^-^...

A Luna · 10-25-2009, 03:18 PM

Ahhh this looks a lot better.
Also, the forum is changing of colors:O First it was orange, 1 click later it was lime!
Like 'wow!'

I'm also interested in the rankings... I'm a ... senior member & blender. I guess first one was post count and second one miniature ranking?
Oh nvm, I just noticed the second rank gone.

I like the new forums. Bit of a different look, but still the same basic layout. Very cool.

ScottRadom · 10-25-2009, 09:41 PM

I have too many questions to even begin. I like it, but I don't know about some things. The worst thing to happen was this level up shit, 'cause as soon as I see that I want to be a level 50 wizard/fighter/ninja dude. For no reason. It's just the gamer in me I guess.

Thanks for doing this up Chern Ann, enjoyed the forums a bunch before and I aim's to continue that.

laurence · 10-25-2009, 10:24 PM

I was wondering what was going on yesterday here at CMoN when I couldn't access the site. Now I know. I like this new set-up!

Chrome · 10-26-2009, 01:48 AM

This looks like it has potential! But as stated, it kinda feels like any other Php-forum out there at first glance...

But other than that I like what I see this far!

chivas · 10-26-2009, 03:16 AM

Liking the new look so far-cleaner and less clunky than the old format

RuneBrush · 10-26-2009, 03:42 AM

Hats off to you, it's not easy doing any kind of board migration (as my own experience has shown me) - very impressed...
