New forum software

Both those things should be sorted now mate.

They are indeed. Nice one Ric.

I know it won't be to everyone's taste, but hopefully as we get to address some of the issues raised you'll start getting used to it. It's probably the fifth major upgrade we've done since we started 18 years ago, and every time there's a bit of apprehension at first from users. People are naturally resistant to change but adapt quickly. To be honest, I was reticent to even do it (hence why it's taken over two years to get round to it) as it's a shit load of work and stress. It wasn't done for vanity or for the sake of it though. The old software will become obsolete in the not too distant future so not doing anything wasn't really an option sadly. Will try to fix/resolve as many of the issues that have been flagged as I can, but by all means PM me if I miss anything!

I've adapted already :)
It's great, top job.

No worries mate, I'll get used to it

No, this is the friendly BM forum, not the abomination scared layout that is RAWK.

I wouldn't soil myself by going there

This is very scary

I don’t get alerts so I don’t know who wants to kick the fuck out of me, strange times mate

Had to switch search off again just whilst I finish rebuilding the search index. Will switch it back on first thing.

You might need to turn them on again in "preferences", either that or everyone has you on "ignore".

@Ric thank you. It isn’t easy pleasing everyone and upgrading takes such a long time and patience. Thanks. :-)


p.s. I still think you got the deep cleaning squad in as well. Covid cover!!

Loving the new software. It really is a step change from the previous software.
