In the not so far future, the vogons board will be upgraded and moved to a different domain.

So don't be alarmed if you are being redirected or when things look a bit different.

Cool 😁

no more mini icon for editing & quoting post?

request if possible: please keep the user info on left side of the post like always?

Good luck with the move. I just hope the new framework would still be lean and mean... most modern forum software seems to enjoy hammering the client side with 400kb of useless javascript for 20kb of content.

search with ability to check titles only
and Search for all terms as default

"Don't panic" is pretty cool 😀

It will be a phpBB3 board, so check for the functionality there.

Joey_sw:
The buttons will be (a lot) larger. At least they are in the WIP skin.

great news, hope all goes well with the upgrade!

I hope the colors remain the same. I like this theme, but not sure if everyone is ok with it.

Also would love to have embedded playable video function.

yeah the color scheme is like a trademark, maybe there is a theme that we can choose

The colours will be similar. At least that is the last piece of the puzzle that is being worked on.
The style might not be 100% finished when it goes up though.

There is a embed video function, but I am actually strongly thinking of removing that functionality. I don't want even more threads that only post a movie, which they consider funny, while the probably 90% of the internet has already seen it.

Noooo, we neeeeeeeed videos just as much as talk about old hardware!!!!

^ yeah but it will great having this function when posting vids about builds/problems/etc
you can always smack those that abuse this function... 😉

what will be the new domain name? are you moving to save money?

The new domainname will be www.vogons.org
and I am not changing servers or so, only the domainname. So it will be slightly more expensive than it is now. (as the current name is "free")

This sucks.

Maybe we'/ll get less unneccessary slashes.

Also video embed might be troublesome for the vogons users who use their retro rig to browse here.

Kinda amazing that this phpBB2 board survived for as long as it has. It's the only phpbb2 place i've ever visited in the past 6 years.

Yep, but with the development on phpBB2 having ended this long ago, there are limits.

www.vogons.org sounds nice.

Though I like and don't mind Vogons remaining in this older version, here's a toast to the best for the future version!
