So it seems the upgrade went okay.  We are now on SMF 2.  Please report any issues.

At the moment we just have the forum, I will add the other features to the site over the next week.

I feel I want to review what members want to see on the site.

What features that we had on the old site can you not live without ?

I will be reinstating the gallery, using a new system - all the images have been saved.  That is certain.

What else would you like to see restored ?

Many thanks

Also, I hope people like the new theme or 'look' of the site.

It's designed by a friend of mine called Bloc.  I chose it because I thought it was nice and fresh.  It has some cool features too, like showing avatars in various places.  Also if you go into a board now, if you hover over the subject of a message it will show you the first few lines.

My thanks go to Bloc

Looks fresh nice indead, very clean and fresh, modern without being bland or boring

It has a bold, clean, fresh look.

I liked it at first glance when logging on!!

Good work and tip of the hat to Bloc as well!!

[DaveMorton]

Sure! Confuse the already addled old Yankee!

[Bragi]

I like it, looks good. Needs a little getting used to, but it's fresh, nice.

[squarebear]

Looking good.

Looks like it went very well, congrats   and you kept the cool smilleys too 

What else would you like to see restored ?

Many thanks

Tiny Portal, embedded YouTube videos, SMF site map,

And the spam filters

[Freddy]

Well for those that are confused you will be glad I didn't choose another one that turned the site into something like a wiki - boy was that confusing, I couldn't find anything.  So I went from something that was not a great departure from the old theme but with a few more modern features.  You will get used to it ! lol

@Data, ok thanks, yes those things definitely need to be restored.  For TP I am waiting on an update at the moment.  YouTube button, yes on my list already and the site map too which I had forgotten about so thanks.

Spam filters too - registration is off at the moment, but that will be in place before it gets turned on again.

Sounds good Freddy 

When I’m clicking internal links on AiDreams they are opening a new tab.

I don’t know if you had it before, but there is a mod that makes internal links open in the same window, personally I much prefer that to opening a new tab or window.   

[Freddy]

As far as I recall it always did that but I will look into it.

Links can be set to open in the same window by using the

Code

Everyone finding the new gallery section okay and is it working alright ?

It's the 'media' button up top if you hadn't spotted it yet. 

[DaveMorton]

Now that it's been pointed out, I did. Looks fine, and seems to work well. I like the random image selections.

[Data]

Yeah! I too spotted the 'media' button  last night, had a little look around, some nice new features, took me a while to work out the albums are what was the categories.

Its good, I like it  

[Freddy]

Cool.  Yes takes a little getting used too but I think it is better than the old gallery.

I too took a while to figure out I had to click the 'Albums' button to see everything.

I can promote albums to the media home page (where the random images and such like are) if needed, but I am working on other stuff at the moment.

I do like that we can now see recent comments too.  With the old gallery you never knew if anyone commented unless you went through everything all the time, far too time consuming for me.
