Also, a note to all project leaders: before shutting down the old forums, we requested that all project leaders would submit a list of members who should have access to their respective project internal forums. Unfortunately, this went largely unnoticed by majority of the project leaders. Those hosted projects now only have their forum moderators granted access to their respective internal forums. Project leaders: please post a list of members who should have access to your project's internal forums to the Hosted Sites Support Forum.

Everybody noticed this, right? RIGHT?

I would post there, but I seem to be lacking access to that forum.

Well, I do like it, it´s HLP afterall... But I liked the old look better. In the old days the posts were seperated by background color. And it was, how should I say this, easy to look at.

Now all posts have the same background color.

Ummm... I think I missed something. Last I checked, in the old days posts were all the same colour (Hard Light was all black, and just orange lines separated all the tables). Here, every second post is maroon or black. What's colour scheme do you have going?

[Spicious]

Thank you Fury. I'll post a staff list in a moment.

[Setekh]

Cheers Spicious, looking forward to getting all the hosted projects back on their feet.

The text in those nested quotes is getting pretty small.

Yes, it really is.

Are you sure?
I am pretty sure the posts were seperated by colour. At least in the TBP forums.
And in here, every post is on black backround.

It might have something to do with this crappy school computer with ancient explorer ... I´ll go home where I have opera.

BTW: Where is the hand smiley list? Am I supposed to remember all the smileys?

BTW2: Thet notification about new posts when replying is great! On the other hand, this is the third time I am trying to get this post out, and always there is new replys!

[WMCoolmon]

I have a request/suggestion...could we get some more obvious way to tell new posts in a thread? Right now it's more difficult to tell which are new and which are old because you have to read the date, geusstimate when you were last here, etc etc.

Whee, BitTorrent. Too bad my school blocks those.

Ahhh. What you're complaining about is actually two different issues. Firstly, we haven't restored all the hosted styles yet; so that's why the TBP style is gone. Everyone is using the default HLP style right now. Secondly, I think it may have something to do with your browser - try it at home. No one else seems to have the 'every post background is black' problem.

Hand smiley list: I realise it's not perfect, but this is the closest thing we have at the moment.

Notification about new posts: I know, I love it too. SMF is a winner.

Yeah, Goob was missing that small feature from vB. We'll see what we can work up.

YAY It's back!  Lotsa good, lotsa things I'm going to have to get used to though.  Please do tell me the nested text can be changed. Apart from that I really do like the changes, and it was worth more than the couple of days estimated for putting this up.  Nice work, everyone.

Appreciated, Nix. When we put up the maintenance message on the old boards, and started prepping the new boards for import and transfer of all the old stuff, we realised we'd bitten off a lot of work to do - hence the week and a little bit that it took us. But I think we'll all find that it's worth it. Believe us, this is just the beginning.

(Also, we'll see what we can do about that nested text. )

Oh, one thing I just noticed. There doesn't seem to be an option to change the number of posts per thread or threads per page anywhere... Or am I just blind?

Yeah, admins can change that globally - but I don't know either if that can be changed on a per-user basis. We'll see what we can do about that.

[CP5670]

I think the old forum had that option but the maximum wasn't high enough. I personally like to have all the posts on a single page unless there are over 500 or something.

[Gortef]

Hmmhmm. *looks around*

Looking good. Nice improvement. Indeed a great looking forum.

[Turnsky]

crikey, this will take a little bit of getting used to.

As you have probably already noticed; at the moment our biggest problem is our SQL-database, which is more heavily loaded than we ever anticipated. We have already made several adjustments to help the load on the SQL-database. To completely fix the problem, a short downtime may be necessary in the near future.
