OK, first things first - Log out of VR, and then back in to get the full effect. Second, If you don't like the blue, edit your profile, you can pick a colour in there. Only Green and Purple at the moment, but more in the next few days.

Also, there is a funky new member map - add yourself onto it if you want.

Member biography's on your profile have been improved - since people put loads of stuff in them, I thought it would be good to make it show up higher n the page. If your biography is missing - let me know, and I can put it back

You now only get notification emails once per thread (until you read it)

The threads showing up as unread bug should be gone, as should the weird characters showing up instead of apostrophes etc (only on new posts, old ones will still have them there unfortunately )

New smileys - just a bit nicer really.

I can't really think of much more - post here if you have any questions!

also
there doesn't seem to be a 'last edited at' thing for each post

and in firefox the site doesn't display properly. it needs a horizontal scroll bar to see everything on the page.

Yup, old style homepage will be back - but I thought I'd get something up rather than waiting till its all done...

Been a problem before, so I thought I'd get something online, and keep it as a work in progress.

oh, sometimes the thread rockets down past the shoutbox leaving a big gap at the top and it's a bit odd in firefox, but you're on the ball so I assume you already knew that.

Should really be keeping these comments till after you're done... anyway, yeah. I like it otherwise

The Shoutbox has shrunk. It's really slim.

Otherwise, I like a lot of the new stuff, and I guess I'll adjust to the rest.

I've an idea.... How about a board especailly for all those NSSW threads? 'Cause let's face it - they're a lot more interesting than most threads. Having them all in one place just makes sense.

Also, do we still have access to all those other smileys?

*boobies* <<---testing

edit - awwwww
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

I think it looks quite good. Alienating at first, however, but I got used to it quickly.

As for an NSSW thread, yes please!

equality, tolerance & logic

 
Sex like life in general, You can only make up so many threads before it all dies...
Now is that salary pre or post tax?  

100% of Earth's population agrees with the following statement.

"Forces should be spending their time catching rapists and murders and not worry about piracy theft."

Well yeah, the dots should be spaced, but I was referring to intent!

Don't challenge me guys, you KNOW what you're getting yourselves in for.



I actually meant that there is a specific character for an ellipsis (…) as opposed to 3 dots in a row (...) - Since we are being so pedantic, I thought it would be pertinent to point this out to someone such as yourself

That's a nice lack of full stop you have there.

I hope it should, because I left that like that on purpose. Still, I find some rules just ridiculous and don't follow them... I'm a rebellious Nazi.

You certainly can. Click on member map, then click the Your Location button. Type in your password, you'll get a blank map, and you can put your pointer wherever you like.
