Hay what just went on then?
For a second Then the forum went back to the other layout

[Bennoz]

I was just uploading Nighthawks tweaked theme

Darker contrasting grey & darker fonts.

[-Nighthawk-]

Yep changes all gone through.

The rest of them are still coming. If you would like your FTO in the banner (I will be having a few in there) please PM me, and preferably with a pre-cutout version.

"Constructive" criticism only, a lot of you don't know what that is. As Bennoz said PM one of us with your suggestions, otherwise you get everyone jumping on bandwagons and making this a mess.

cheers

Favicon is back

Just did a bit of pruning on the database.

Deleted all users with a zero post count that haven't been active since 01/01/2007. It deleted 800 odd users & free'd up some the prime user names.
I saw "GPvR" "GPXFTO" "FTOGPX" "MivecGPX" etc all free'd up

Some lucky new users will score them!

Should do like the NSW Road Agency and charge a $400 Annual price on those usernames!
You don't need to justify it, simply say it's going toward 'maintenance' like they do.

Guys, seeing as I got sucked in to the touch screen mobile world. I thought I'd bring the forum kicking & screaming up to it as well.

I've just installed Tapatalk onto the forum, so you can browse it more easily on your phones.

Yes, you will need to go download the Tapatalk app, you can get it from here: http://www.tapatalk.com/mobile.php

Available for Nokia, Blackberry, iPhones & Androids. As much of a dodgy bastard that I am, I can't give it to you the phone plugin for free, it will cost you the princely some of $2.95!

Enjoy folks

Tapatalk is a forum app on the iPhone, Android, webOS, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry and Nokia. Tapatalk Forum App provides super fast on-the-go forum access to majority of the discussion forums that has activated the Tapatalk plugin.
