JohnTC02 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Rocky will be doing a trial run in preparation for upgrading the forums this evening (04/06/12 GMT), if all goes well the forums will be off line for about 4 hours. The upgrade process is quite complex so unforeseen problems can arise leading to a delay in getting the forums back online. If we are not back up and running after 4 hours then please be patient as we will be working hard to minimise any delay. Thanks for you understanding, John Edited June 4, 2012 by JohnTC02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Actually this is just a trial run, so 4 hours off for a trial run (in about 6 hours), then if it all goes well, I'll do the full upgrade later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RileyFletcher_01 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Actually, to provide for our wacked out community Rocky has decided to completely change the role of this website. He hopes to be more inviting to people like me and WytchDokta, so the site will now mainly feature pages similar to these: My link My link My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 so what changes are being made? is it a security and Server update or are users going to have a new board to look at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm guessing it's just the background and layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTC02 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Due to other commitments Rocky was unable to do the trial upgrade on the forums last night. Details of when this will happen will be posted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightCrawler Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm gonna miss the old GR look. My best friend always tells me change is good, I reply, not always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm gonna miss the old GR look. My best friend always tells me change is good, I reply, not always. I have screenshots of the old skins, I might try and get something akin to them for you old timers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oelmuvun Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Well, it is certainly different looking. It feels like there is lots of wasted space at the top of each page though. *shrug* The text is readable, the colours do seem to fit. Seems ok. Interestingly the background of the logo image at the top is veeeery similar to one of the Mac OS X 10.3 default background images. But the lines do not perfectly line up in it's current form. Close though, sneaky guys. I see wat u did thar. Edited June 5, 2012 by Oelmuvun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 sweet! something i can certainly get used to! hey can i design a new banner for it? sorry i sound cheeky Not cheeky, thanks for the offer. The plan is to make it like the previous forum, the default site banner will go right at the top with all the nav links below it. So that logo you see at the moment is only temporary.
