The search function seems to be much quicker, which is nice.

You will need to alter your offical threads thread links too. I have to install something first though that will make all the addresses more user friendly. I'll tell you when I've done it.

[Maljonic]

Ok, I did it.

I can indeed moderate all forums. I notice the Temple is still missing - presumably that's coming?

Also, minor thing for when more important stuff is dealt with - I still get a new post indicator icon on the Boardania forum even when I've read all new posts within it.

Edit: I note the Temple is back, and I can moderate everything in the Sweeper section.

[Maljonic]

I think I've done all the moderators now. Those graphics on the main pages are almost identical when there's a new post, I'll add back some of the graphics from the previous site when I get time as they were nice and clear.

I'm not sure about it still showing new posts when you've read them all, I think sometimes there's one that you missed right down the page somewhere. Or it could be that we're all treated as if we've read none of them or something and will sort itself out after a few days.

One cool thing we can do now is merge threads as well as split them so, like the other day, when someone posts an almost identical thread we can merge the two together.

[Buzzfloyd]

That could indeed prove handy! And adding back the old graphics would be brilliant, thank you.

I've restuck the official thread list and tidied up the tags on it.

Because i'm public minded. Not cause i'm bored. Oh no.

[Buzzfloyd]

I meant to add that I'd stickied this thread. And Doors, if you're bored, look at the "Baby Photos Competition II: The Cutening" thread.

Edit: And I'm currently going through threads fixing broken code.

Huzzah for Doors actually doing something for once!

I've just noticed that the latest threads are no longer latest, and appear to be in a relatively random order.After stickies, last post indicators are:

They were in alphabetical order for me. You can change that in the Display Options at the bottom of the page.

Only problem with that seems to be that they keep jumping back to alphabetical order after I've browsed a thread.

Ok, I see now that they were ordered by thread title, rather than Date of Last Post, as indicated by the thing at the bottom. Might be best to change the default?

Yeah, I've just noticed that too. And occasionally I will select to change to order by date and it will jump back to title. It's Doors' fault, he changed the URLs and it was alright before he did that...

[Buzzfloyd]

Quick note: I am starting to delete size tags on sight, as what were previously tags to reduce the normal size are now producing giant writing when left in.

[Electric_Man]

I noticed that by my picture in the photo comp, changed it to size 1 which is small-ish.

[Rincewind]

I can't find alot of the threads has the order been messed up during the move or something?

Also, the quick reply isn't working for me. I'm outraged!

It does work, and we went over the order earlier, fool.
