Marcus,

well done on getting things back up and running after the hack :D Just one issue remains though; the old avatars are gone which is beyond your control of course, but I can't upload a fresh one because it tells me avatars are not allowed any more.

Can you fix this?

To explain a bit further, I am quite attached to my old avatar. That little imp represents part of the history of my hometown, in stories as well as being hand made by proper old-fashioned craftsmen builders 8)

Done - it was a setting I hadn't turned on. There are a massive number of admin options in v3, I'm sure it's going to take me a while to get up to speed!

Marcus

Edit - Hey, hey... what you know, the avatars are still there!!! Just the option was off :D

That's definitely worth a hearty w00t :twisted:

Well overall I think this latest update is great and the fact that so much of the old information and settings could be preserved is nothing short of awesome.
Like Lee said, definately worth a w00t or three :D

I particularly like the font colour option...

Could you tell? :P

Beautyful
Thanks a lot. We now even have a button which tells us who is online. Nice.

I've noted a slight issue with the 'nosebleed' template on the site and am wonder if it bothers anyone else?

Basically, 'hot' threads (those with 25+ posts) are displaying the same icon that is used when a thread has a new post. This could be a little confusing?

Feedback?

Marcus

Yeah, I spotted that as well but it doesn't happen all the time. All you need to do is check the time stamp on the Last Message indicator anyway.

I've had the same situation as the two of you and initially it bothered me but now I'm not so fussed (especially now I know what it's about). It could be confusing for new users though.
