Is it no longer possible to delete a post by yourself?

R. · 21 Mar 2005, 00:07

It is, as long as you do it within the 60 minutes time limit.

Skeleton · 23 Mar 2005, 18:51

This is really weard forum... It´s hard to learn how to use this... But Is there any possibilities to change the color? I don´t like this color...

R. · 23 Mar 2005, 19:11

Check your profile in the UserCP (top left corner) or use the "Quick Style Chooser" bottom left corner.

Skeleton · 23 Mar 2005, 19:16

Thanks, R.

Tim · 23 Mar 2005, 20:17

R., is it possible that the site is a bit slower then it was with the old program? Mean, i got a 56k6 modem and sometimes it is very slow with loading topics, threats and posts/replys.

dottie · 23 Mar 2005, 20:40

I have broadband also, but am finding the site a little slower...

SuperLoafMan · 23 Mar 2005, 20:45

Me too....

R. · 23 Mar 2005, 21:21

The database backend is definetly faster than the phpBB one, but as much more information is transferred, it may be a tad slower.
What definetly is causing a slowdown are the signature images. The more signature images are linked from different sites, the more connects have to be done and the more data is transferred. Think about it, this is a message board, not a picture posting board.
As an example, the one above my post has a filesize of 55 kilobytes.

SuperLoafMan · 23 Mar 2005, 21:35

I will take mine down, hope i didnt cause too much aggro,

Sorry guys

SuperLoafMan · 23 Mar 2005, 21:42

No problem so far, you could have resized it. Nice to see that my subtle hints work.

Seriously, I can disable images in signatures and will probably do so some time.

Mmmh ... by clicking on the "Edit Avatar" link in your profile, perhaps?

SuperLoafMan · 23 Mar 2005, 21:53

Yeah your hints worked very well R.

I have changed the aviator, it seems alot easier to change the
aviator on this new look site than on the other one.

Thanks anyway R.

dottie · 24 Mar 2005, 12:29

Working my way through the forum now a little easier R.

Thank you for making this old girl use her brain a little extra

What do you think?

I have renamed that style to "Light Grey" and have added a "Dark Grey" style.
Dark Grey is using less graphics (no gradients) and thus probably a tad faster. Just check it out.

Deb · 24 Mar 2005, 18:19

I like the light grey best of them all

DIZZY DRUMMER · 26 Mar 2005, 08:56

NOW the Dark Grey ....................... I Like

Tim · 28 Mar 2005, 11:35

This software actually does work with the correct DST settings.
Check your profile and verify your timezone settings.

Tim · 28 Mar 2005, 14:50

Indeed R. Oeps... my fault. Was living in the wrong timezone

I have added another "Dark Grey" variation, so that we have a cold and a hot one now.

SuperLoafMan · 30 Mar 2005, 19:30

I like the COLD one, really good

R. · 04 Apr 2005, 20:21

I have slightly changed the Edit/Quote/Reply buttons by adding a theme matching outline (grey/red/blue).
And finally, I have finished the new buttons for the Hot Dark Grey skin. It looks complete now. Test drive it here.

DIZZY DRUMMER · 06 Apr 2005, 12:55

I like the hot dark grey
