GingerBlokey: The flash chat is thankfully only the temporary chat (its terrible), so we should be getting lovely Java Real Chat back soon.

It is Firefox friendly (I'm using FF right now)

The home page will be back up tommorow.

The Homepage should be back up tomorrow.

[Boggy1 45]

Ok, *should* then

I'm just waiting eagerly for the chat to be up. The modmins still havent given an estimate as to when it will be up though

[guinea 30]

im still completely lost in this new shiny simtropolis... 

>_<

[Boggy1 45]

Awww...poor Luke.

I simply love some of these features, the favorite topic and quick reply. So useful!

[dev 47]

Ahh...it is beginning to grow on me...still kinda harder to navigate...but I am beginning to like it.... And ohhhh...I love the new darker color rather than the off-white! That just changed only a moment ago...didn't it?

[Superstar 69]

I knew slowly but surely this would start growing on people, good to hear

[vidioman 21]

I'm completely used to it now, I know where everything is A bit of trouble with the smilie code (someone should develop an internet wide smilie code, seriously ) but it's all good!

[sloppet 3]

I'm glad too see another person that likes the new ST

[simoplis_mayor 3]

i really like the site dirk good work

[tag_one 133]

I really like the new ST. the colors are cool and the navigation isn't that hard. I'm happy that it's much faster. cool work

Seems that the stex is faster but there seems to be some files that
when I try to download there is an error message given. Jeroni's Walls Seawalls and fences etc seem to be effected. Are these downloads no longer
available to download ?  I would love to have them in my game as they seem to look great in Many of the CJ's out there . Thks

[sloppet 3]

hmm.. when will you show us the new home page?

[sim1234 62]

Oly Ontario: I think dirk knows about that problem and is working on it, the files might become available for download again soon.

I wasn't very active in the Forums before so I can't say that it's better or worse. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into this FREE site. Just downloading stuff and organizing my plugins folder is a major effort for me even though I have all the time in the world. I can't even begin to imagine ...

I'm totally "Green" when it comes to using a computer in the first place, not to mention going on-line, Forums, downloading, uploading, etc. etc. Most of the stuff people are praising or complaining about is all Greek to me.

I SHALL ask dumb questions, I WILL ignore any rude replies, and I HOPE someone will patiently explain things to me - even if I unintentionally put my question in the wrong place.

Hey! How about a "Bunny-Slope" all topics Forum for us youngsters or "oldsters"?

[Fischbob 9]

Yay! I can see coloured links in posts and sigs now!

A strange side effect of this seems to be turning all the visited links on the site blue. Oh noes! EDIT: Or at least it was. Now it's back to normal. Thanks Admins!

[sim1234 62]

I see the links are now coloured which is great and the side effect seems to have disappeared which is great, Thanks dirk!

EDIT: I became a Statesman with this post!

[Oly_Ontario 0]

Congrats Sim1234 how long do I have to go before I am not a stranger ?

I think you become a Passer-by when you have reached 11 posts.

Halfway down this page here (if you have your posts per page set to 30), there is a list of labels and how many posts you need to reach that label:

Thank god for that, I couldn't stand those gray links. Nice one dirk!

[Boggy1 45]

Hey, I was wondering, because larger pictures stretch the page, but not the header, would it be possible to implement something like this:

It still stretches the page, but also the header, and it makes it look so much neater.

[Dodge44 2]

Wow! I came back for a visit and I see we have a new look.

It's not going to be coming out for a couple of days guys.  If you click on the text in the calendar, you will notice that Dirk said that he is under the weather and the home page has been slightly delayed.

[Kevin 101]

Don't know if anyone noticed, but there now appears to be a fixed limit (30) on the amount of posts allowed per page. Back to normal at last!

Wow, you're on the ball, I only did that 10 mins ago...

Yes, 30 will be the maximum, and I have disabled the ability to change that because we need to keep everyone the same for optimal performance...! 

[Mikeaut1 261]

Awesome. I like it at 30 anyway, that's what I'm used to . Thanks Dirk!

[Andreas Roth 607]

Whoa, that was scary... I just thought the NAM General Discussion thread lost about 50 pages. But the "ghost" pages problem (the last few pages in large threads are blank) still exists...

Yeah!  No more "Welcome to page" in the middle of the page.

Speaking of such, does everybody having a different number of threads per page affect performance?  You might have changed it and I didn't realize it, but I thought that I would ask.

Also, thanks for bringing back the blinking envelope for new PMs.  I just noticed it recently as my other computer had animations blocked.
