So... the time has finally come for out with the old and in with the new! After 24 hours of exporting, downloading, indexing, testing and general techy stuff (including last minute panics) the upgrade is now complete and we're really pleased with how it looks.
You'll notice a few things have moved around and the general look and feel of the place is, we think, a lot more up to date and a little easier on the eye :yes:
With anything like this we don't expect things to be totally flawless and we may find a few teething problems. We'd love to hear your initial reactions and if you do come across any issues we'd really appreciate you letting us know and being a little patient while we fix any bugs and all get settled in
The upgrade has been a long time coming, and there's been a ton of hard work behind the scenes here at TheSite Towers. We really hope you like it!

Woo to the nominate button. I want to click it...
:thumb:
Edit - I clicked it.
:yes:
J/k people, it looks really good so far! I'm still looking around though.
EDIT: One small complaint: The "Quick jump" select box at the bottom of each thread doesn't have a "Go" button any more. This made it easier to go back to the thread list after finishing with a thread. But I suppose the "top" button works, since I can just click on the forum's name afterwards.
EDIT2: I'll add a couple more.
1)This might be a change in design and not a bug: There's no list with currently logged-in users at the bottom, it just says "array".
2)The icons for forums and threads for when there's new posts and when there aren't look very similar to each other, so it's not easy to tell where there are new posts (at least for me; I'm a bit colour-blind).
EDIT: Actually, it's at the bottom of every page.
Thanks for that littlemissy. Hmm, I'm not getting that problem (using IE8) - it may be a browser issue - what browser are you using?
You can see who is online if you click next to where it says 'there are currently...'
Oh. If you click on quick links under the forum tab, theres a who's online option.
The 'Array' thing is a bug we're aware of, well done for spotting it! So yeah, hopefully we can get that fixed but if you click on the number of users online it will take you through to a list.
I know what you mean about the forum icons - the colour change for new posts isn't as obvious as in the old version. I'll add it to our lists of tweeks we'd like to make When you're in a forum the thread titles should change to bold if there are new posts in them which helps.
Could you do a screen grab and attach it for me Scary? Another one for the list
Edit : It might just be that im blind!
I'm just guessing here, but I think that changing it from the options changes the setting in your account at the server, while changing it from the bottom of a page just stores it in a cookie on your computer.
Although some of us like having a different skin for home and work
The tag cloud shows the most commonly used tags, and they're bigger depending on how often they've been used.
Think this shows it Helen. You can now see why I didn't make my own av.
Like I said, I use the worlds most ancient browser as it's still our standard at work, so it might just be a dinosaur thing, and dinosaurs can cope.
It\is way to slow, the speed of a snail really after going 13 CM far. So slow, is it meant to be like that?
