We are happy to announce that we have upgraded our forum software to a new and improved version! This is the largest upgrade to the forums since 2005 and you will see that there are far more features now than earlier.
New features
Some of the new features include possibility to attach files to posts, a better poll system, a new warning system (don't do anything bad now...
), the ability to search within specific forums or posts and much more! Feel free to explore the new features of the board to find out more yourself. The Ptifo, paperWood and IPB styles have disappeared, but we have two new forum styles; proSilver and subSilver2. We are going to add more styles in the future, including some darker styles for those of you who prefer that.
Bugs
Obviously, a such large upgrade may also result in some minor bugs. Some people may not be able to log in if their password contained special characters. If you are unable to recover your account, please contact us and let us know so we can help you.
You might also notice that the [center] and [right] BBCodes don't work. To fix this, simply edit the post and submit it (without doing any changes), and the text will be aligned correctly. Similarly, if you have used these codes in your signature, go to User Control Panel > Profile > Edit signature and submit your signature without making any changes.
We had to set all the permissions again, but something may have slipped through and you might discover that you can't post where you are supposed to have the ability or have too many abilities (such as being able to make topics in the news forums
). Either way, please report any bugs and errors that you might find.
Features that have disappeared
Some of the features that we had added ourselves (not a part of the forum software) have disappeared, such as the list that displays the users that have been online the last 24 hours. We're going to add these again, just be patient
Lastly, you might find out that your RuneScape information has disappeared. Since this was not a part of the forum software, it was not converted during the upgrade. However, we are working on a new feature that includes many nice features related to your RuneScape character and stats.
Remember, if you find any bugs in the new forums, please let me know. If you have any problems or can't find a specific feature, you can ask the question in a reply to this post or make a topic in the Questions & Feedback section. That's all for now, enjoy!
