Hello everybody,
Welcome to the new and improved Fibsboard.

I have converted the forum to a different forum software with more features and better security. This is the first update in a series of updates over the next year in which i will add functionality every time.

Articles
For now we have the new functionality to publisch articles and reviews. Anyone that has a serious article and would like to share it with the rest of the community, please feel free and submit it.

Gammon Empire
I recieved a request from one of our sponsors, Gammon Empire, if i could provide a support forum for his backgammon server. This is also a new part on Fibsboard. But don't worry, the main goal and community of Fibsboard will allways be FIBS related.

Rearranged and added forums
I rearranged some forums for better overview and added a forum for the new fibsclient DelFibs.

For now this is it. Feel free top post any bugs, typo's or other problems in this topic.
Have fun! :specool:

Nice work!  I have a question, though...it appears that a number of seemingly randomly selected posts have non-functioning scrollbars on the right. Why is that?  Just a bug?  Thanks!

Actually i think that is a bug in the old forum where posts weren't saved in a correct manner. It will probably not happen in new posts. Also i haven't seen any of those using FireFox.

What is karma ?

Where are the pics of members?

I get some errors on member pages, under IE :Line 68, Char 0, Object expected.

The Karma system is a system with which members can express their positive or negative feelings on a post or member. You can give karma points if you have posted more then 25 posts and only one per member every week.

The member pictures didn't make it through the conversion but soon there will be a new option to add pictures.

Could you tell me on what page exactly you get that error?

If someone makes a good remark you can applaud him and if he gives a bad remark you can smite him.

Hmmmm, love the fact that it will be more secure - and hopefully a lot more spam free, but it will take me some time to get used to it - perhaps I should run off to join the Hamish..... :cripple:

Some posts seem to have not made it - meetings of fibsters for one - I had made a post about meeting kid_pantyhose, and intended to post the photos, sorry blurs, I took of him competing - are they due to follow?

Also photos are currently downloadable, but not displayed, will this change? And does that change the photoposting restrictions  (ie picture size). 

I love the top bar which displays my status (or whatever you might call it) so I can get to new posts straight from there.

Thats all for now - I am sure I will find more.. :yes:

All new photo's will be visible as a thumbnail in the post, clickable.

The number of posts that was in the board before the conversion was exactly the same after the conversion, so every post should be there. I did however rearranged the boards and moved some topics around. That could be the problem. Have you tried the search option?

It will be more secure, however spam is like virusses, they find new ways of getting in all the time. The best way to fight spam is good and active moderation on the forums. Also i added captcha registration.

Arghhhh, also cant find an edit feature - so when I write a post when I am half asleep  - then realise I meant Amish, and not their Scottish cousins, the Hamish, it is alllll toooo late  :laugh:

Ok - will give the search feature a go and if I find you will know - cos I will post some photos (but probably not tonight - I must go and deal with that half asleep issue - ooh and where is the ;) emoticon?)

I'm still tweaking the permissions. This forum has a much more sophisticated permissions system, but it needs some tweaking to get it right ;)

"Edit rights" where revoked for the announcement board, and are now reinstated.
