Chris Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hello Forum Members.Welcome to Invision Power Board 2.1.1 the best kid on the block just got a whole better. Q. Why Can't I See The Old Forum Look?A. The forum upgrade mean't that alot of old files [that make the board work] are no longer functional. This should be sorted soon and the look should be back.Q. Why The Upgrade?A. This new version brings some cool new features that we all can use and experience. There is to many list, but you should notice different profile options when viewing a profile [look to the top right] and the reply box is revamped! When you edit a topic, you should be given two options, FULL or QUICK just take a look at what the QUICK edit does.errrrr I ran out of Questions, so feel free to ask away, about the forum upgrade...I suggest ALL members take a little time exploring the new features, they might come in handy...Errr that's itBye!

Craig Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Please also bear in mind that the software is new to the admin and moderating team as well, so please stick by us while we find our feet.Over the next week I shall be tweaking the forum settings so you get a few more benefits that you don’t have at the moment. More news on this as it comes available.Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Just a quick question, I see a blank group icon as shown in my attachment.Is this going to be sorted eventually or is it a 'feature' of the new forum software?Just curious.I also like the 'new' look as it looks very like the old Windows Forum used to look like (not that I ever posted there).

It will be back with us ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 No, its just because we are on the basic skin Curly. We should hopefully have the same or similar skin back in the near future. :paperbag1:[Edit] Oops! the boss answered your question Curly while I was still typing.[Edit] the quick edit button is great! Just edit your post then click on the "Complete edit" button bottom right of your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
