I spent a good 10mins in the UCP wondering what the hell it wanted. Every time I went somewhere, it redirected me to the UCP...Apparently I needed to change my password. :?

mixed case and numbers? These password requirements are getting strict :|

The new UCP is awesome, heaps better than in phpBB2 8)

This is going to take some getting used to.

Can we fix the blue on blue thread list? It's a bit straining on the eyes.

Took me 17 attempts to get the forum to accept my new password and let me in. I'm not really happy with the way things look and feel at the moment.... Dunno why. :whistling:

I'll be over it in 24 hours max....

And yes, lightbox is screwed.

Why is 24pt font so tiny? The above is *200pt*. :?

It was easy to get used to phpBB3 i think. :)

The new password thing was annoying to setup because i now have a unique password to every other forums that i have to remember, but i've just written it down on my desktop so i don't forget. :lol:

Woot, it looks really great, but that password run-around has me wondering if my windows re-install went belly up. I miss the old style as well and preferred the avatars on the other side but I'm loving the extra features. I can actually lock topics now as I make the post saying that I am locking the topic.

I have to say I really like this version. Took only 2 minutes to get the hang of. I didn't have any hiccups with the password thing.

Very nice work, Tim. *bow* You are full of win yet again. :respect:

The lightbox and spoiler tags were custom modifications that Tim made to the original forum code so they probably won't be back until he has time to alter the new coding.

That is 200% not 200pt phpBB v3 has limits on almost every thing it is well about 5700% more tweakable than v2 ever was.

Ryan is right on this one they were customisations that I had done to the forum. both will be back but I cant say when!


BTW the password thing, Well how hard is it to capitalise a single character and/or add a digit to your old password. other wise it WAY to simple to brake someone's password.

My original password was too short, so I had to change it completely. It was a nonsense word to begin with, so nobody was likely to pick it out. Now it is another nonsense word with capitals and digits. 8)

Umm the password restriction are ONLY phpBB3 minimum password length and 'Must contain letters and numbers'.

Mappy wrote:The AJAS.ath.cx title at the top doesn't look quite right. And the busy topic icons are missing from the various boards.

that was a problem with pre CSS3 browsers not recognising the font color transperant, Ive had to use another method to hide the plain text title.
And with the busy topic icons its being fixed right now.


Also both spoiler tags and Lightbox are working again it is like 5000% easier to add extra bbcodes to phpbb3, one caveat though old posts need updating by editing them and resubmitting. So if you come across one of your old posts that the spoiler or lightbox tags aren't working please just edit your post and resubmit it.

Okay, those problems should be fixed. I was trying to alter setting to allow people to use bbcode and it would appear that if you want to alter one setting, you should be prepared to alter all of them. Figures that more control would lead to more work. Any further problems and I think I'll end up buying Tim a slab so he can fix them.

Oh, whoa, I just saw the extra smileys! :w00t:

Standard Update Kitty is cute, but I was thinking we could (for example) give the sunglasses smiley Kamina's sunglasses (From Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann). I understand that not many people would agree to this before seeing any kind of finished product, so I may find some time today to whip up a rough initial version :respect:
