    Yes, I know that the site looks like shit right now, videos won't display, the frontpage is unavailable and we are not flying the black and maroon, but such temporary sacrifices must be made when one upgrades forum versions. On the plus side, accounts and forum history appear pretty much intact. During this week, we will work on the skin and all that gadgetry.

    Needless to say, it will be easier to keep the spambots out and phpBB3 naturally ships with possibilities phpBB2 could only dream of.

    Welcome to modernity.

    If you, like me, find that the new style DE installed is hard on the eyes, please switch to SubSilver2. That is the theme which in layout is closest to the old style. Also I'm working on making it more like the old style.

    Also note that this style is only a temporary work around anyway in order to have at least some black and maroon.

    Welcome to the future! P.F. 2007!

    The style isn't bad, but my eyes hurts a little... Please consider recoloring the style using http://www.colorizeit.com, for example.

    The site looks very neat now, i think that i speak for the community by saying thanks to those that have been working today to improve the forum.

    Nice, job, don't know why it keeps forcing me to relogin though. Cookie expiration set to 5 minutes or something? Anyway, good luck with the cleanup...

    Should be OK now. The cookie domain hadn't been updated since the conversion on localhost.

    No, we're running phpBB3 that looks very much like phpBB2.

    We worried about the skin, essentially Xz found a way to make everything look like the colours that are part of our soul.

    My brain hurts.

    EDIT: I suppose I should take the time to thank you guys for the hard work in upgrading. I honestly never thought I'd see the day. I guess getting 2-3 admins back kicked up some dust in the secret admin forum that I totally don't know about and doesn't exist. I bet DE was getting tired of talking to just DarkFool all the time.

    Finally, the latest update in php by the powers to be. Yes. I've got to say that the new upgrade is grandiose and welcome.

    Since I came clean about why we brought Herr Otto Flick on board, I'll come clean about something else: DE is actually just my puppet.

    and suddenly, your reality has become inception

    That actually makes sense. Even *you* get tired of talking to yourself it would seem.

    The quick reply box has been modified to look like the old one. The quick-quote and the signature tick boxes were not implemented as they were never used anyway. Posts made with quick reply will use your default signature settings.

    Tip of the day: You may now go directly to the quick reply box by hitting TAB once while viewing a topic.

    Nah. If I got tired of talking to myself, I'd have nobody to talk to.
