In order to use this forum you could change the link at your main-page.
At www.falconfly-central.de you will be directed to the old forum after 5 seconds...

I dont know why, but I always am nostalgic about the things I get used to. I got used to old, plain and simple forum, and this one looks too... well... colorful  Huh

But I guess an upgrade was needed... The old one had a few glitches. In a forum, people are important not the looks Wink And here we have good people  Wink

Yeah, as soon as there's an oldschool Style available, I'll implement it.

I also like things simple and compact, the existing Style is already modified to better meet those requirements.

Now I know what I miss the most!!!
There was an option "show latest posts" or "new messages" or similar in the old forum - one click and you see all the new stuff. Very handy if browsing a not-overly active forum. Can you please put that link in this one as well?

Thanks!

You could even bookmark them Wink

Small comment.

When placing a new thread/reply or modifying a post:
The textarea is just too small!

You should increase it's width by 25% and it's height by 100%. Smiley

The old Forum had a 49x13 Reply Window (637 Chars),
the new Forum has a 62x10 Reply Window (620 Chars).

IMHO good enough, and modifying the Reply Windows would mean a massive dig into the Board Code (= not gonna happen)

From an optical and overview standpoint, it would look nicer though, agreed Smiley

PS.
Not sure if it will change alot, but there's still an Board Update Install pending. Maybe it'll take care of some of these points (so far, I didn't have the time to install)
