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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Oh well, fixed now.

work faster...: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.

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

You mean ctrl-F5 right?

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

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

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.

hahahaha, no mate.

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

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

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

Front page news thingys don't work in firefox.

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)

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.

This

Schexy. Love it!

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. ;)

Shiny...

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

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

Err... it's Monday.

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

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..

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

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