SITE NEWS: Some possible changes, feedback needed!

[Aero]

Me and Eric have discussed some pretty big changes that we want to do in the next few days, but I want to get everyones feedback first, not just shock everyone like with the failed merger.

Most importantly, we want to switch to a new software for the message board. phpbb, which we run now is terrible, its lacking so many features, hard to use, and very insecure. This new program will open up so many options. And its simple and similar looking, not like that last one we tried to switch to. Ton of new features, like attaching images, more options, admin stuff, like to many to list lol just check it out. Plus its so easy to install mods we can add even more.

I set up a sample here -

I mainly want to know if everyone likes how it works and will be happy with it.

And don't do any serious posting on that board, its just a test, so all posts on there will be deleted.

Spent the last hour redoing the theme on the new board, its now as close looking as possible to this board, actually a bit better looking I think.

MY ONLY SMALL COMPLAINT WOULD BE TO CHANGE OUT THE C.I. SAFETY BUILDING PICTURE. PUT UP SOMETHING MORE SIGNIFICANT FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR SIX MONTHS.

It looks OK to me.

Good idea, I think a new logo to go along with the new board will be nice. I got to see what looks good though, I used that CI building cause the colors of the pic fit perfect with the logo/board.

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like the button to show posts since last visit is missing.

Hm, I never used that, so I guess I didn't notice, but theres just no link to it on the theme, I'll work on adding it in but here's the link for now -

Theres still some problems that need to be worked out, some graphics, title and avatars didn't work perfectly in the conversation, by the end of the day I should have all the worked out.

Post any problems or things you don't like here.
