The theme will change a little bit over the next few weeks with tweaks here and there. Additional themes like the old Woodie one will eventually be back for choosing also.THAFUZZ said:So THIS is what is looks like nowimp:
The old forum software was almost five years old - basically a dinosaur in comparison. It had been so heavily modified, that adding much needed functionality would have required a complete restart and recode. The newest stock version of the forum software still didn't have some features some members and I wanted.nz boom said:can i just ask what was wrong with the old site as im not a computer dude and i had no probs with it i hate change![]()
