New forum software

Not really, sadly. If you have a play around with the Web Archive site you can see some things, but not everything has been indexed. Here's a page from 2008, but none of the links seem to work:

Bluemoon | A Manchester City website & forum

I was looking for the thread about the Tevez transfer think it was around June/July 2009

Why is it that every IT bod puts in a new program it never works as intended. It is the IT people who dropped the word PROBLEM and replaced It with ISSUE, it doe's not sound as bad

Seems to render a big gap at the top of the page - or is that due to the browser I use?

Adblock- Ric won't be happy :D

Can you do a better job? It's hard to please everyone- in fact, no- it's impossible. Ric and his team got this up and running with very minimal disruption. If you don't like it, cancel your subscription. Oh yeah- we don't pay for it

Woohoo! The 'unread posts' button is back at the bottom of the page. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
Cheers Ric

I work in IT, it's not as easy as you think. The problem is generally that every end user isn't the same, the amount of testing scripts you can run in a lower environment (one thats not online) depends on how much time & money you can give to it. If you want, you could have automated scripts that run through every single possible scenario that could ever happen, but it's going to cost you a fortune and loads and loads and loads of time. Then you can create smaller pilots like betas, where people in the real world test it. But even that doesn't completely mean you will be problem OR issue free, because there is always someone who has a different setup and always someone trying something nobody thought of. Shit happens, if you were paying for it then maybe Ric could invest in creating test environments and employing testers...but you don't.

There is talk in the mod room about having Adblock enabled being a banning offence.

Awww. Now I miss Bell in the away kit in the right hand corner, remember when he was replaced, it was by Trev Sinclair if I recall.

They've always been there, tbf. Nothing has changed in that regard.

Be cool if we did it away kit themed.

Your wish is my command. If you click the little brush where it says BM at the bottom of the page, and select BM-DARK you have a darker theme (based loosely on the new away kit colours). Might be useful for those who feel the current site is too bright, or want a "night-time" mode option. It's been a bit rushed so am sure there will be a few bugs with it, but give me a shout if you notice anything particularly wrong.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

wow, that's retro.

Bluemoon - Night vision mode.

 

[mexico1970]

The site seems faster too, most of the members here will love the changes when they get used to it IMO.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Cheers @Ric - liking this a lot.

First thing I've noticed as an issue, where you click on "Find Threads" it comes up with white writing on a white background, screenshot attached.

Just thought I'd highlight things as I click through the new mode.
