trevs - you need to have cookies enables so you do not get logged out. Nothing on the board that will effect this. Also please post a new topic going forward as this is about a different issue.

with topic titles, unfortunately we cannot expand it anymore. If we do then we reduce the forum description size!

the skin wont make any difference at all. There has been site slowdown recently which is to do with something completely seperate. Speeds should now be as per usual. Phil

all done. Should be able to find member topics and posts on the left hand drop down box...

please be more specific with this

still a few things outstanding. Right image has been updated but with just a div attribute. Not sure I know of display flicker.. for Mozilla they need a height attribute which is handled fully in the CSS..

should be...

all fixed :)

this should be working - or is for me... Also added extra permissions so you should have no issue with PM size.

Imagined there would be some tidy up work. Thanks for the headsup. Added ref=nofollow to where I could find + updated guest post info. Coudnt find any macro differences apart from the green underscore which i liked the design of

added more gaps between each topic - i also thought this looked over crowded.

I have seen the functionality and they offer access to an external database so can be added back.

this is fine for now - the news system etc is very good. We will add the usual news every Sunday for now. This will be built on but one step at a time :)

now closed the above two threads.

removed this now :)

Mod CP fixed

i will be adding that back!

the skin for me is important - and I would have had to do a fair bit of work on the old one to get where I wanted it so I have added this one back. The forum height is much less so now it visually fits together better and doesnt drag on as much. There are many other things added to the site such as the interactive profile which I still want to keep :)

interactive profile will be back - didnt remember everything. No everything wont be going but I want to build from this skin. We had our busiest time every on this skin (both on here and CC) and I am confident we will break that record again with this skin. Teresa - I am definately looking for an updated banner. I really liked the one you did and the 'We Entertain You' section

this will be the standard skin now. I will now be updating features on this skin. In addition will look to have an updated banner as a priority.

New skin for some - updated one for others. I have decided to work off this skin set going forward! Please let me know or post here if any attributes which you are used to have been missed off! many thanks.

the review section will come but will be driven from what we have already. I dont want something seperate from our existing forums as that spreads out content too thinly. Please be patient.

Please read my about first post: "For main forum mod's, how often will we need moderator's for these? If we need a mod we can add topics or approach people on a case by case basis." There are many fewer Main forums with much fewer people stepping down so when it comes to applications we will have less! Hope that makes sense. Exactly :). There is no point reviewing a constant stream of applications with many for forums who do not need a mod or from people who never visit the forum.

On main mods, my point is that we will not need a constant flow of main moderators. There will be times when we do need a mod and we can post advertising the place or even PM suitable people. Makes no sence keeping a 24/7 topic for something as infrequent as that. You dont become a mod by applying you become a mod due to your actions on the site before applying. Those actions get you noticed and as such you will in the most cases be asked to moderate without making a topic about it. Bence every decision and choice doesnt need buy-in from everyone; however this was discussed. You will see over time we will develop and grow based a lot on the community but also on right decisions made at the right time. I want admins and GM's to have less work to do, if we need a mod we will post for one and if someone sees an area in decline then PM someone - what we do not want it an open ended topic for anyone and everyone to apply.

I closed the thread. The reason is as follows: For AF's I would like to build towards two mods per forum and if someone leaves then it is up to the other mod to promote someone. This is much more community centric and should have very little to do with Global Moderators or Admins. For main forum mod's, how often will we need moderator's for these? If we need a mod we can add topics or approach people on a case by case basis. This is a much better use of people's time and effort. If we keep a topic open people will apply for everything and anything (ive seen it 1000 times) and it will be the Global Mods and Admin's who will be taking up there time sorting out something that in one case should be community generated and on the other very infrequent.
