I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

yeah im having the same login problem also along with a few other people thats going to need taken care of but my guess would be thats because its bouncing from 1 server to another.

i will troubleshoot this on the phpbb forms.

i totally agree about the new posts link on every page i will look into trying to get that link on the header somewhere else.

after replying to a thread it should just refresh the screen instead of taking you to the 'post successful' page.

and traditionally arent avatars on left? I'm a pussy....

and I know you're doing a whole bunch of shit right now but I like complaining....not really a complaint, but any easier to read layouts?

i think the avatar on right is alot easier. thats the reason for phpBB3. they flipped it.

yes im going to try and get rid of that message.

also.. i had beta forums up for over a year. seemed like eric was the only 1 who really took advantage of that. he knows the layout, some features and the theme. he seemed to be a fan of the backwards layout. using the software for over a year i guess you would be custom to it.

eric your thoughts? personally i LOVE it. you read the post first, and with the handfull of members on the site at the moment you can pretty much guess who the poster is. i guess the only drawback from the layout is if the user does not have an avatar and his posts look short. this could be cured with an avatar hack that would make people select an avatar or have the board default one. but that would probly cause a second longer load time? possibly not because the new server seems to be lightning fast.

I've always liked it. Thanks so much for changing the new posts button, love love love the ease of use. I checked out V3 test site and I'm missing the portal page, I can't wait for that to get going. I don't think that a user not having an av will be a problem. I also like how you can choose to have your signature or not for a post. I bet there's a bunch of features like that we haven't stumbled across yet. Let's keep the options open, and continue bitching. .saint is changing things every time I visit the site. He's keeping busy ;-)
