Forum Upgrade
« on: 06/06/09 04:26PM »
I upgraded the forum to the latest version of SMF, but as you can see we're using the default theme until I have some time to customize it. It ain't pretty, but everything should be working.

Let me know if you experience any problems.

I just couldn't take that black and green any longer. :) We'll stick with this scheme for a while.

As for the dead link, you must've had the /forum/ at the end of your URL (rather than just tallahasseesportbikers.com). That changed over six months ago, but I left a redirect for people who didn't update their bookmarks. I removed the redirect during this latest upgrade. I meant to put a big landing page up telling you to update your bookmarks. Thanks for reminding me.

What do y'all miss about the black/green layout? It's the same software. Everything is nearly identical except the recent posts are now at the bottom of the page rather than in a tiny box at the top-right.

you had things on both sides that made it easier to navigate and the posts were in the middle

If you haven't noticed yet, the stuff that was  in the left box ("show unread" and "show replies") is now at the very top, next to your avatar. The "recent posts" were in the right box. They're now at the bottom of the page. I liked the recent posts thing, too, but unfortunately those side boxes aren't available with this new version.

Don't worry, you'll get used to this layout again and I'll change it in three months and you'll wish it was back to how it is now.  ;)
