Change in Bulletin Board

This is for those that do not notice a change.
I hoped this was going to only take a couple of hours. I have now been working on it for 12 hours and I am about to pass out for over tierness.

Unfortunately I could not transfer across to SQL the either/or topic and a few other extra long posts with over 1000 replies (sorry it those were yours, I stilll have copies of them)
I still need to do a lot of fine tuning on this new system. Hopefully it is going enough for your to post a reply :confused:

I will work on it more in the morning.
I have already found some errors but please also feel free to post them here so i can continue on them tomorrow.

Kindest regards

Malcolm

BTW yes you can use your old login user name and passwords

Find lost login details here

omg!

malcolm you are a demon - thank-you

Something eerie's afoot.....

Thanks for all the hard work Malcolm.

Gold star for you, Malcolm - you've clearly been busy. Being an old fart the changes will take some getting used to but the board looks a lot brighter.

Presuming old PMs won't be restored Nay worries though, sure there was not anything there I can't live without.

Get a good sleep! Ta for all your hard work Malcolm
- that definitely derserves 3 gold stars.

It's cool! Obviously will take some getting used to but I'm liking all the customisation features.

12 hours! Eek! Must have been a huge job so well done!

Testing the edit feature and to note that the dates are in US format!

Been working 18 hours now. Preparing the changeover took 3 weeks. getting ready this morning was 6 hours and the script was supposed to take 2 hours to complete. Sadly it could not handle some of the huge posts. I will reopen the old bulletin board tomorrow so you can read old topics and posts. but you will not beable to create topics or reply to the old system.
I think I have also today managed to scratch my head so much when things went wrong that I have a hole in my head

ooo this is all very confusing!!
but weldone malcom good job looks very flashie
and i can have different colour text

Well done man, loads of work.....
Thank you so much for putting all the time in

WHOAH!

I must admit that I mourned the loss of the old look, but only for about a minute. Now I'm logged in I think it's all good, especially that there's new options to play with ! and the graemlins have been kept :

My, you do sound tired Malcolm. Sleep well, and thank you for all your hard work

*ticks "I want to preview my post" box*

Wow! Good work Malcolm!

These new boardds look ace Can't wait to play with all the new options !

Sleep well!

Yeah this really looks incredible. Awesome job. Thank you so much!

will PMs be restored? What about ones which were sent but not yet read?

wow loads better, much faster, looks better, works better.
confussing layout, was looking for reply button.... my brain needs an SQL injection.

Malcolm props to you mate, 12 hours, i know your stress man, i feel ya. the tempted fate of loosing a database of a 6000+ community ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH! "just glad it wasnt me". But you did it mate, nice one.

oooh it's lovely!! Thanks for all your troubles and sleepless nights
A BIG THANK YOU FOR MALCOLM!!

nice job malcolm...layouts different, not really confusing..but the new colors make everything much easier to read

Malcolm do we get our status messages back too?

I kinda liked being UnRegistered.

Wow, its fantastic!! Nice Work!!

Great job with the switch Malcom!

Hate to give you more work to do, but most of the introduction posts are MIA *cough* including mine *cough*. Any info on if those are going to be transfered?

Thanks

and it works




so thanks alot, you deserve a whole weeks sleep

well done Malcolm.
Nice colour choice with the orange. It will keep me busy tonite have a good look around at the changes, but its a lot faster and looks luvvly.
Nice one!

Hi All, I'm new as of yesterday and noticed my intro post is missing.not a problem as I will repost in a couple of days. just a quick thank-you to all who replied and this new bulliten board format looks great, looking forward to using it lots. Now if it only had a spellcheck feature.....

Wow! ::is utterly overwhelmed::

This is going to take some getting used to...

WOO: Pretty!

YAY: Avatars! i get to use the groovy monkey from Metal Slug 3! :

BOO: suddenly it becomes a lot more obvious to the casual observer that i'm not doing work

HUH?: no active topics? how am i going to keep track of new posts? oh its all so confusing, whats going on?

but hey, i get to use my monkey picture so hooray

EDIT: no! my monkey is not working! i must go practice my web-fu...

Though it looks like a lot of the intro threads have disappeared, which is sad. But that's okay (for now, bwahaha), cause Malcolm's working hard and I appreciate it and love him for doing it!

All I gotta say is...

It's about damn time! The old board was... nice. But it was too basic and lacking style. Good work Malcolm!

Now all we need are some smiley upgrades

Kudos to Malcolm...good job! Many nice improvements!

I too miss the active topics link. Might there be some way to collapse the threads on the active topics for 24 or 48 hours? This might give the same thing as the old link.

OK, first off, thanks Malcolm for putting in the hours.


I have a very slight niggle, though. My registered email address had a + sign in it, (which is legal RFC2822, yadda yadda), and your new profile editor thingy doesn't let me use it anymore. Is it possible that when you next do updates you can be a bit more flexible about what constitutes a "valid email address".

Other than that, a bit of a shock looking at it for the first time, but it's definitely growing on me.

Ooops, I didn't notice multiple different pref screens

*goes away and hides under a rock*

At the bottom of the main index page there is a box with:
View recent messages
Past 24 hours
Past 48 hours
Past 7 days

That what you're looking for?
