The New forums Cometh!!!

You —

Well, have now converted the database to the new system.

[b]As a result:[/b]

1. Any new members since about 10pm yesterday will need to re-register.
2. Any posts since about that same time yesterday will not be present in the new system.
3. Any members that had not made any posts by that time will also be deleted.

I will put a link up for preliminary testing soon.

[b]What you will not like[/b]

1. The theme. I am using the default atm.
2. Change. Not many people like change unless ti is obviously for the better for them. This should be much much better for me. For anyone else the changes will not be a rewarding in the short term - many of the features will be disabled.
3. The signatures. This will be fixed, but atm they are [part of the post and not separate.

Have a look:

Oh. I just logged out of the new site. When I clicked on my link here it returned me to the voting page anonymously, giving me the opportunity to vote again. I suggest disabling anonymous voting. btw I voted yes, because I like my avatars.

Also, maybe further down the line, it might be a nice idea to allow members to tag their new topics: news, uk, islamic discussion, festivals, fun, general etc. Other forums are organised with a forum for each category, which is a rubbish way to surf, but tags are a good way to keep topics on track and encourage discussion of specific issues, which might address Ed's point about the forums losing their relevance.

One more small thing. On these forums I have changed my name after 613 posts. It's not vital that I do that. 😃 But on the new forums it credits me with a larger number of posts, such as on the Juma Mubarak thread. Maybe it is including PMs or deleted posts?

Thought so... Still could use a little help.

I KNOW there is an option to change the colours. I have used it. But atm my mind is so blank I cannot find it.

Secondly, somehow I have managed to re activate the subjects in comments, but now cannot disable it again! GRRRRR!!!!!

I can retain the old ones, but afaik, no one really liked these either!
