yep

Qbix, did you set the registration spambot trap to Q & A challenge? That is the one that I have found the most effective, at least if set to an answer that cannot be Googled.

yep

collector just logout try to register and check that yourself 😉
qbix i think the easiest solution would be this:

Strange that they put the previous page button on the left side of the page, when all the rest of the page controls are on the right.

Previous link is on the left and Next is in the right. These only show if there is a next or previous page in a thread. Other than that, all of the navigation are on the right, page navigation and jump box.

1. Might I add that the Moderators' green color code blends too much with the light purple (lavender?) of the tables and a bit difficult to see? It looks ok with the dark purple outside of the main box (when listed below).

2. And the zetafleet.dom are listed in the disclaimer at the bottom. Two of them.

3. Clicking on an external link does not open in a new tab or window like it did previously, and instead opens up within the same tab/window. Or is this the default behaviour for this new site? I prefer the links to open in a new tab/window so that I can maintain what I was reading in the beginning and/or to refer back. But I wonder how many prefer this way.

4. And, as others have brought up, any chances of including the cool option to alter our titles in our user control panel? 😁

EDIT : Oh, and it's nice to see the Announcements section at each main subsection listing important posts. 😀

It looks new forum has way smaller amount of characters limit for thread title

I like them very much. Could you please also make "onMouseOver" buttons? I think inverting gradient would be enough for that. Or do you think we don't need such a thing? 😀

They seem larger than the ones that are currently there ?
Please contact collector about it.

Done and done. (Some are a bit larger, yes, but they fit nicely - tested with firefox's stylesheet editor.)

Qbix: I mean the "topic reply notification" emails.

new ones look like

I'd prefer the shorter ones. I also dislike the sender of this mail "forumadmin@vogons.org", previosly it was "vogons@zetafleet.com". Something shorter would be nicer, especially without "admin" in it.

Another issue with the "view unread posts" view:

I miss the easy to see field in which forum the unread threads are. Of course they are listed at the end of the information
"Just an important heads up
by Qbix » 2013-5-31 @ 22:50 in Milliways"
but this is not very easy on the eyes, since the subject is so big and the forum name so small in comparison. On the iphone it's even worse since, depending on topic length, the forum name is at the end of the 2nd line or the beginning of the third.
And that orange button is way to small on the iphone 🙁
You need that mobile theme 😀

The dom is not a typo. The old board also said dom. It was just Snover being cute. The first one is for the copyright notice and the 2nd is for legal disclaimer to shield the site from idiots that might post warez. Although it might be best to change the disclaimer to vogons.org, now.

Bullet points from the old site do not seem to display correctly on the new site. They now appear as •.

Still taking in all the changes. Wow! Shiny!

custom ranks, This was a custom mod on the old board. This board, at first glance, doesn't seem to have the ability to let the user select it themselves.

I found this on the PHPbb support forums: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2164870

Looks like a relatively straightforward custom mod, but I'm not a PHPbb guru so I could be wrong.

@flashback I don't see how it doesn't blend. what did you change ?

Maybe it's my browser (I still use Firefox 3.6) but the logo currently looks like the one on the left and I was suggesting to change it to the one on the right.

The odd thing is, yesterday it looked like someone changed it to the one I linked to and now it's back to the other one.

Anyway, sorry for the confusion.

It is exactly the same one from the original VOGONS.

"View active topics" seems to do nothing... one of the few features I wanted badly...

Little thing: we can't edit our user title anymore. Could you fix that please?
