Test the new Forum Software for us.

[CarlK]

Hi all,

The update to the new forum software is now in Stage Two - testing for stability. Can i ask you all to log in to http://www.underwaterhockeyworld.com...etin/index.php

The info is not live. It will not survive the move either so don't post 'for real'. Poke around and let me know if you find any problems over the next few days.

The 'Look' or skin is not what we'll be having either - Alex is working on that now.

Once happy we'll make the live move. Prob over the weekend when the site is quite.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,
CarlK

No avatars?
Can you choose another layout? something like the "öld"software/site?
I did find that far more good looking.

Dare I say I like my dancing kitty (resisted the urge to use the other word) - Carl can we fix this?

I think he can.(i like okki, thats the name off that cartoon caracter i have as avatar)
By most forums you can choose for avatars yes or no
And many more things you want or don't want on you forum.

But i can not see iff thats the case by the new software/site.

Yes avatars will be imported.
No - maybe they won't automatically find you so you may have reselect afterwards.

WARNING - saved PM's may disappear. Back up any PM's that you want to keep.

Yes - the skin will be very similar to the current one.

I'll work on this all on the weekend, so the board will be off line for 24-48 hours then.

THANKS CARL YOU'RE A LEGEND MATE!

actually i prefer the look of the skin being used for trial purposes
avatars? just a bit of fun - i can take them or leave them.

does the little circle next to posters name indicate level of admin access or current online/offline status?

otherwise i notice no real difference, services continues as normal

[CarlK]

There'll be several skin options including the default. You can select your own preference (the same as this software, look in your user control panel)

Seems fine. I didn't see posts since last visit. Is that reworked as the "new posts"? I do like the today's posts. Makes for a quick What's happening fix.
