All will become clear on Monday...
Discuss.

New forum? [-o<

does this mean the forum will be cleansed and we can start again like Noah's Ark?

Imagine everyones posts reset. Bahaha watch Joffa commit.

:lol: I hope they all do. Would be cool.

I dunno if it will affect the forums though - probably just the main site.

You'll see the new wave of kids trying to shoot through a post a second, try to front run and be known as the new wave kings.
Afro and Joffa would probably combine to launch WorldFFTCyberWarI

I'd be happy to have my post count reset at zero, although a cyber war does sound cool if somewhat impractical.

Forums are kinda separate from the main site. Probably just be a skin change if anything.

... Sounds painful.

I know. :( :lol:

Pffft. You're only for it because that's the only way you'll have most posts than me :lol:

It'll be a skin change for the home page because it's looked the same since 08.

The forum is fine but the main site does need a update.

If you squint you can totally make it out.

NO FRIKIN WAY. Im so close to my 10.000, no post count resetting anywhere.

ooops. double post.

If you squint, that pink rectangle down the bottom left totally looks like a chick in a bikini.

99 posts off.
Oh the :lol: if it happened

It'd be even better if it happened on 9,999.

I should ban him for a few hours when he's on 9999 :P

How many times have we heard that threat over the years though? :lol:

banning is ok, cos then i can still come on later and get my 10,000

but a reset is worse. but dont you dare think of a banning, ill hunt you down...:p

I've always wondered what happens when you delete a topic. Do the posts get deleted from the user's total also? One would think so huh?

Should experiment with the Llounge..

Delete the 'ask afro' thread and watch Joffa and Heineken's post count half.

Err... it's Monday.

Probably at midday. They are kicking the gerbil that powers the servers as we speak methinks to run faster.

I think the old website looked better. I liked the red options bar.

Shiny...

Looks hot.

Just...

Need to change the banner colours for the Roar and Jets pages ie. Roar use black not maroon, and Jets use dark blue now not gold. ;)

Schexy. Love it!

This

i like the new look. looks shiny and neat.

one thing, whenever i put in my login details and press enter, i get the search results page.

Are you trying to login in the search box??

The login dialogue is now in the black bar right at the top of the page... (on the left hand side of the bar)

Front page news thingys don't work in firefox.

I had this problem logging in when I was on the forum page. But logging in on the home screen works fine.

yes it does.

The site looked all over the place (seemed FF wasn't rendering the CSS properly) when it first launched. But now looks fine on FF

hahahaha, no mate.

i was trying to login from the forum homepage, i dont usually log in from the main page.

When the site went all funky was when it was halfway through being uploaded.

Re: login issues; if you actually "click" login, instead of pressing enter, it'll work fine. Minor bug that I'll get around to fixing one day.

Why is there a new button for 'new topic' but still old buttons for 'reply' and 'quote'? :lol:

Have you pressed Shift+F5? I've got the new buttons for those.

You mean ctrl-F5 right?

Shift+F5 does the same thing in Chrome. Though, now I think about it, afro uses Firefox. :roll: :P

Firefox requires neither shift nor ctrl. I doubt it was a simple matter of refreshing because I was clicking around pages and as I said, the 'new topic' button had changed, but not the 'quote' or 'add reply' buttons. They have now though.

work faster...:p

Hmm, looks like my adblock had blocked the i.haymarket.net.aus url for some reason.

Oh well, fixed now.

the top banner is a bit annoying i think. im talking about the main banner with the big FourFourTwo name and the magazine front cover.

The white background is a bit bland and it makes it seem like its a bit unfinished and something is going in there.

just my view.

Maybe I'm just adverse to change....but...

I don't like the new website. What was wrong with the old one anyways? Sigh.

Liking the new website, very classy guys :)
However, I've noticed that the "add reply" button is still of the old fashion for PMs. Just so you know.

Keeping peoples attention is all about staying 'fresh', most websites update something about their look every six months to achieve this (see facebook constantly changing). FFT hadn't changed since 2007 and it was time for a revamp.
