.... and isn't it looking hideous? Sadly, not hideous enough. Some of the old codes no longer work, and the faithful Vault box is well mangled so will be looking to fix that over the days/ weeks/ months. Those of you who've yet to uploaded a personal avitar are lumbered with a generic ''Vault of Evil' for time being, which trust me, is a huge improvement on the Proboards-provided alternative , bless them.

Hmm. Yes... Why has the board suddenly acquired this frankly hateful mauve header? I hate mauve and purple - when I was a kid, travelling in a car, if a mauve/purple car came into sight, then sure as eggs are eggs, dad would have to pull over so that I could have a yack at the side of the road. As this was the late 1960's, early 1970's - there were quite a few hideously coloured cars on the road; I was therefore well acquainted with a lot of the gutters, kerbs, layby's and verges in our area.  Also, I've noticed that a post of mine, concerning Alan Class's comics, suddenly goes into italics after a few lines. Not serious, but quite odd to read. Change is good, but I always liked the clear, unfussy layout of the board as it was. Why mauve though? Surely the correct colour, given the nature of this board, is BLACK, with white typography. Simple as. I'm going, now, that mauve header is making me feel slightly nauseous. No, honestly.

No, couldn't read a word of that.
Everything seems to be working OK, but the allegedly 'Related Topics & Stories' lumped at foot of every damn page are a pain, and looks like we're stuck with them, more's the pity.

Jesus Christ, what's going on? Hopefully there's still the Recent Posts tab.

Right down the bottom, James, under 'Forum Information & Statistics'/ 'Threads & Posts', you get 'recent posts.' There's also a 'recent threads', which we didn't have before.

Wow. This was ... unexpected.
Have they really eliminated the reply button in the "recent posts"? Thanks for nothing. As long as everything is still there ...
Wait a sec, have they eliminated the view before posting? No editing before posting? Sigh

One thing that worries me is that I am not seeing anything "mauve," like other people are reporting. Are we all seeing different things? I do not mean this to be a profound philosophical question.

Good question. I don't see neither the preview button in a new thread- which according to the help should be there - nor a possibilty to delete my own posts. Which is strange. |

Not only does the new 'upgrade' look awful, non-relevant ads everywhere - but it's a bloody palaver just to log in, as well. Oh well, I'm only semi-regular as it is.

I see mauve now! What I was looking at until a few minutes ago turns out to be the "mobile" version. It seems to have no ads, in case anyone is interested.

Looks more a sickly lipstick pink to me, will bloody it up at some stage, but we've more pressing matters to attend. One of our valued contributors has reported being unable to log in - could just be a case of clearing the browser cache, i guess - but if anyone else is having similar difficulties, email us at terroroflondon ATgooglemail.com (replace AT with @ but i'm sure you know the drill by now). Have actually done some proper moderating which is a first ever, and looks like kicking things back into shape will be a lengthy process. Somehow managed to add page numbers to the foot of each thread without deleting entire forum in process, also a 'back to top' button ( Fig A, below). Unfortunately, it appears below the accursed 'Related Topics & Stories' panel, but better than nowt) |

Andy, the delete option is still there, just click on that - i dunno - anchor in the right hand corner. And i think the log-in palaver is just the first time you sign in - they're not gonna ask you to change password each time. But that page looks absolutely disgusting! dem |

At first I didn't notice any difference with mine, Dem. Maybe because Craig had been saying the green pages weren't so readable, so I'd changed them both (the original site and the new trial version) to a sort of beige with a chocolaty background. But I said 'at first'. As soon as I started moving the mouse over the pages I started getting weird green and blue highlights! When I was playing with the 'test' version I did find new features which could be useful - but probably not until this initial effect settles down.  At least the new 'puke' smiley's come in useful, huh? |
