Good job Timbo, I know how long this has taken you. Let us hope moderating is a bit easier now. Onward with the banhammer!

and we can stick a [smite] toothpick up into your ass  ;D

Big YAY to the new engine, I love SMF... tho -1 for turning avatars off and still showing turned off karma...   :-\

Since we can turn on and off other ppls avatars it wouldn' be a bad thing to have them. Unless you're concerned about the sizes of them...

There is one thing I dont like here..
In phpBB, new posts in a thread were visible, there was an orange file-icon, small but visible.
I miss that in SMF :(
And there are no good, dark themes :/

Besides, it's a good software...

slightly better, but that contrast would burn out the eyes of the uber-l33ts.

You could use it as a starting point, and modify from there, I guess...  replace the red with the alien bluish egg / OM color.

Is it turned off now?  I didn't have access to the buttons yet since I haven't spammed enough on the board.

Ok, Timbo: COMMUNICATE. Just tell us if you're going to do something like disabling avatars. Otherwise, we'll just think you're crazy off your ass and disabled them because of all the positive feedback people were giving regarding them. Really, if there's a good reason, you're kinda responsible to tell it to us as the leader of the community.

hmmm i was online when the change came, got some 404errors, then smoked a cigarette and came back to a fully working new forum. it's understandible that some changes had to be done afterwards.
switch was SMOOTH and thats the point! ty devs.

IMHO, the best forum upgrade would have been to phpBB3 which has an infinitely better default skin and I believe is much more powerful.
They are at the finals test versions (RC7 :o) and hopefully will have a Final "soon". Considering the old forum was using phpBB2, it would be a natural upgrade.

Despite of that, the update broke many links. Links pointing to the old URL (e.g.: http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5059) are not being redirected to the new ones (e.g.: http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=5059.0).

Well, you can turn all sigs off in your preferences.

But Paradox still has an avatar.  How long until the masses arrive at his door with pitchforks? :P

Glad this system seems easier for the moderators to deal with the crap (from the handful I've talked to already).  From moderating other boards/sites/etc, I know it can be a boring job to wade through it all.

Well, a majority of the commands are more intuitive, and the instant moderation options are quite nice.

PHPBB3 isnt that great. It has no ajax, and is only a marginal increase.

I would suggest MyBB, but it isnt as widely used (read supported) as SMF

I think David made an SMF theme that looks like the old forums.
Ages ago when the SMF idea was first floated.  Did a bit and then stalled, mainly due to lack of knowing what it should end up like.
http://tremold.davidsev.co.uk/

My suggestions: Remove post counts. Really easy to do, and cuts down on spam.  Remove post-based groups too.

While I applaud your efforts, the old forum theme was based on the old website which has long since been retired. It's pretty impressive how close you've got it, really. Ideally a new theme would fit more closely with the existing website. One of us will probably get around to this eventually, but if anyone else wants to give it a go they're more than welcome.
