Hi all! If you're wondering what happened here, the forum has been upgraded to a new version. I will be perusing the help pages at Proboards and learning how to be a good administrator. It could take me a while, but I'll do my best!

Hi BP. Just logged back in and I think it`s that the forum has been upgraded. Just needs a `New Posts' button along the top. I think you`ll make a great admin.

Hi Goonfella! Good to see you! I didn't even notice the absence of a New Posts button. I'll see about adding it. The old themes are still available, without images. Go to your Profile > Edit Profile > Settings > Forum Themes and choose your theme. I'm getting used to the new layout and won't make any drastic changes for a while. It probably won't be exactly as it was before, but I'll do what I can. So far I've mastered passwords. I think. Thank you for your support.

Thanks for the tip on the themes. Tried them all but I have to say the default one looks best so far.

Great to see some activity her. I almost thought this forum was dead.

Thank BP. Much appreciated. Hi Leif. Don`t think this place will ever be totally dead, just a little less busy maybe. I have always preferred Fans. I joined here first before the main site when I first started with PDN. Seemed more friendly - still is in fact. Shame things have died down a bit though. I remember when this used to be as busy as the main forum.

The new look is sleek. BP you are a star for keeping this place going.

Awww, thanks Welshy. But it's the participating members who really keep it going. I'd like to see it more active too.
I like the new layout too, in fact I've pretty much forgotten the old one. However I did find a plugin for the classic menu settings. Now if I can figure out how it works, I can make it a theme for those who like the old layout. I'd sure like to see Pixey's buttons there again.
There is also a plugin to add smilies to the Quick Reply. I'm going to try that too.
I might need help with some of this stuff, if "lil' H" wants to come out and play...

I must admit I'm ashamed how I left you in the lurch and threw all my energy into the main board.
This next couple of weeks I won't be around much but when I get more time/ energy I'm happy to help you out. It's been a long time since anyone asked if Lil' H wants to come out to play ...

No problem Welshy. And no need to feel ashamed. There wasn't a lot of activity here, and I left it alone for a while, too. Besides, I wanted to learn, and I did. And I'm having fun. I'd upgraded my test forum, and thought they would automatically upgrade this one sooner than they did, so I didn't do much other than add Pixey's buttons. Other than that I've been checking in sporadically. Then when I saw it upgraded, I decided to get crackin' on it. It's pretty user friendly and easy to understand. I've installed a few plugins on my test forum and they work fine. There were a few challenges, like getting my test forum linked to my blackpenny account instead of the admin account. With my two monitors and the laptop, I felt like Garcia on Criminal Minds. (Yeah, not even close, but I have a vivid imagination.) The latest addition is Quick Reply BBCode buttons.

I would just like to say a big thank you to both of you for your work on this forum even if it has been a bit quiet lately. Hopefully things will start to liven up again. Where would we be without you?

I agree with everyone else, BP, you'll be great as an admin. This place was deserted for way too long. Let's rock our boats!

I just noticed that the New Topics button added recently has disappeared. Any reason for this?

Yeah, me fooling around with settings. I was doing a theme with the Classic Menu plugin, and rearranged the buttons. It should be there now. I hope.
But I did remove the Messages button, because we didn't have a 'special' button for it

Nope, still can`t see it.

Next to the Home button? I rearranged them like the old layout.

Ahh I see it now. It just says New, that`s why I missed it. I am so used to looking for New Posts. Thanks BP.

I added the plugin to remove the avatar builder. We make much better avatars ourselves .
