Forum upgrade complete!

[James]

If you can see this, it means the forums have been upgraded!

Much better version of the forums now, with super-quick replies and a much better modding system (all old mods will be restored )

Can't explain it all now so have a browse round and if you see anything odd please let me know

Also I have got the email notifications working again so you can all tell when theres a new post/pm etc...

I'm working as fast as I can to get the old mods converted, but be assured they will be better when they're installed, there's even talk of LIVE MULTIPLAYER options in the Arcade!

James.

Struggling to reply, had to quote then delete the quote to reply..

Plus avatars are links instead of pictures, was this a choice?

S'all good mate! Well done

 

[James]

Quick reply working, and much quicker than before

I can see many advantages for us moderators with these new tools I guess the software makes the forums a bit more secure and reliable, and apart from quick replying being quicker, do the users get any other benefits?
