If you can read this you have made it to the new system. We've been working on this for some time now, but I'm sure there will be problems and things not quite working right.
The picture gallery is still being imported, it will eventually be here!

We are now running xenForo software, which is a bit more up to date than the 6 year old vBulletin 3.8 software that we previously ran. Some new features you may like, some you may not!

Please reply to this with problems and general comments. Preferably constructive! Somethings have still to be added, some things have still to be programmed. Really we shouldn't have opened up the forum again so soon, but you all pressured us(well @Rosie did) :D

Please bear with us on requests and smileys and stuff, we still have a lot more work to do.

Will take a bit of getting used to, but you can't move forward by standing still....unless yer in a bus/train/boat et al....

Any who, anyone know where the 'Mark Forum Read' button can be found??
 
Looking good but...

Is there a mapping between the old post urls and the new - its a pain in the arse that the old google links are all broken it would be good if you could have a look see if you could make your 404 page redirect to the new post urls

D

This has just been completed, let me know if you find any that don't work.

Has anybody had any difficulty/Luck signing in with Tapatalk? Main PC ok but trying on phone get "get_config error"

Tapatalk is no more, various potential privacy issues and they kept spammin mobile users. The forum should work fine on mobiles and tablets now without tapatalk.

How to I list posts in descending order so most recent is at the top?
It wasn't broke, so you fixed it and now it is broked

Not sure what you mean, all the posts I see are in descending order. Yes the forum wasn\t broke, but it would have been soon, we where using seriously outdated software.

Couple of points - LZ-Live is brill.... Except for the fact that it is now so fast (probs with lots of posts) that it is next to impossible to keep up with it and read the bloody thing.
One other thing - the search bar defaults to search for posts by user, rather than keyword - you have to go to "advanced" to get that option. - seems a bit silly default option to me.

LZ-Live, some people are saying it's to slow, some say it's to fast :D I need to use it some more, maybe it warrants it's own thread for improvements.
Search wise, it shouldn't default to user, it should default to whatever is closest to the part of the forum you use it in, so if your on the main forum page it will search threads and posts etc.. Haven't tested it fully yet though so just make a note of where you are searching from and try it in other places.

As Saint V8 asked, is there a "mark forum read" button/option yet? Ta.

I also can't find this, on the to do list :D

looks good feels nice on the iPad..

but I miss the my topics link, but I guess your still working on that?..

On the to do list, you can sort of get to it now by clicking on your username at the top and selecting Your Content.
