Hi Everyone,

We've just completed a major forum software upgrade to the new 3.x series of the IPB IP.Board software. There's probaby going to be many minor bugs and issues to fix over the next few days so please post your commentary here.

Thank you!

All my messages are gone. Please tell me that you are still in the process of restoring data?

Nice! Hopefully we can get something more with 5series.net instead of IPBoard logo on the top!

Thanks, Mark!

Horrible imho. And most of all annoying for eyes.

And can't find a "suck" emoticon to express it.


In many field, I cannot understand why people "upgrade" thing to worst.

Yes, I agree! Also message "+" , that is "positive approval or agreement" with previous poster does not work. At least it states that I have reached my positive agreements for today.

Thus we we will not be able to downgrade Alex's post....

Thanks Lomag...

As with any upgrades, etc., it takes some time to iron out all the issues. Those of you who are quick to judge things, you may want to give it a little bit before passing a final judgement. Change can be tricky and I'm not usually one for change but I have to say that Lomag held off from upgrading for quite some time since the overall philosophy of this board is to keep it simple, etc.

Unfortunately, the spammers were able to "crack the code" on the older version of the software which enabled spam bots to constantly register and post spam messages via public and private means. Since the version of software we were using was fairly old, it was not supported anymore so there was no (and never will be) a patch or fix available to help stop this problem.

Hopefully, in time, this version will become "normal" looking and have everyone comfortable again...

Top right area..."View New Content"...

(you might have to select the appropriate tab on the resulting screen...for example, click the "forums" tab to see new posts)

As Rudy implies, "Patience, my boy. Everything will be just fine."

I welcome the upgrade. But as the mods have already mentioned, there will be some bugs to iron out.
