I'll start with the obvious: the forum software has finally been upgraded. Some might wonder the need to upgrade when IPB2.0.0 was serving us okay, but the most important answer to that question is: security. The upgrade also means new features, and a more up to date style. I know it's lacking a little flair, but I plan to get around to doing some finishing touches sometime.

It's also likely you will come across a broken or missing feature. So please drop me a private message, post about it below, post about it here or even email us if it's that severe. If things are looking particularly terrible, you're probably using IE6, in which case upgrade to IE7 or IE8 because I'm not going to support an eight year older browse any more.

Well, this is different. It's good, though. Different is good.

The moderator icon doesn't seem to show up. Maybe that's just me though.

So is there a way you can take the "interests" category out of the...thing on the left? Seems like an odd category to put there. Especially since some people's lists might be excruciatingly long.

Awesome. I feel loved.

I propose that all of our avatars look as clean-cut and purty as TOG's.

My eyes! :( I admit, this looks awesome, but I'm used to the Dark Tones skin... Speaking of that, shortly after I got back from my trip, part of that skin went missing. It was just at the top of the page, so it didn't bother me that much.

So, are you going to be adding a darker skin anytime soon?

Also, I do have to admit that TOG's new avatar is pretty damn cool looking.

Edit:

Holy hell, the edit function is awesome now!

Sorry to disappoint but it seems fairly unlikely. One of the biggest problems of Dark Tones was its fixed width design. When Sway gets back into the posting vibe, we might develop a new style for the forum again.

Oh. Well, I guess I can live with the forums being as bright as a light bulb.

Also, what about the YouTube tags? I noticed that they're now disabled.

There should be a little media icon in the posting interface, you can just paste the url and it'll insert the video. Alternatively, copy the full youtube URL and wrap it in

tags. Easier than it was before :)

It's the same as it's always been. Go into your settings and choose to edit your profile. It'd located under Profile Information.
