Forum Upgrade Brings New Features

[Dr Bunsen]

I'm considering upgrading our forum software and looks. How attached are you to it all? Moving ahead would also mean some changes, new features and some short term inconvenience...

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
i like new things.

Go for it Dr B, Might as well see what an upgrade will bring :wink: Could be fun, any idea of what the new features could be?

Scouse MrAHC why not? What's up with trying a new format? Looks like there are a couple of changes that could be for the good :wink:

[Dom_sufc]

Those new features look ace! Go for It mate.

[GiantMidget]

Would the site close then for a little while whilst these changes occur? shall we invade SJ and disrupt their lives!!! :weee:

[2old4this!]

I'm old - I don't like change raaa!

Only joking, change is good. it will keep the grey matter alive :wink:

[Angel]

I'm a bit for and against..
Would like the upgrade but not the change of looks :bounce_g:

PV's one of the best looking forums I have seen on my way around the net

(and I have seen a lot)

Yes i agree with you Angel - PV is easy on the eye, very user-friendly, unlike so many other sites. I usually give up and leave as i just can't be bothered to try and navigate around the place!

[binge]

If it stays as user friendly then why the hell not?

Go for it!

[Dr Bunsen]

I put a lot of time and effort into both in the past so I'll make sure we keep both. And the existing skin isn't available for use in the forum version I want to move to but should in future so I'll make a note of keeping an eye that as well...

[Dr Bunsen]

I've bought the unbranded version of the following skin (http://www.forummonkeys.com/forums/demo/?styleid=12) and I'm open to maybe buying others...

[lilmstrixta]

i like the skin looks clean n fresh

[MrAHC]

[GiantMidget]

I like it as well! Looks good! :love:

[beddersfc]

[GiantMidget]

I know i've asked before but are our video avatars still gonna work? I've tried doing it but it ain't working! :wink:

[Digital-A]

[Southcaver]

I did put no on the poll but i'm liking it now. just takes a bit of getting used to.
