Hi Everyone

Underdog is working on moving our forum to a new platform which will hopefully get rid of a lot of the issues we are having, from forum down time to glitches such as the -1 messages and not being able to log in first time issues and all the others e_e.

The move will only take place when messages, posts and accounts can be successfully migrated so we are all impacted as little as possible by this change.

As a small warning, as it is a new platform no one is familiar with we may have a few hiccups and such along the way, if you have any issues or questions about how to use the new system, a "super thread" will be made for us to exchange how everything works on the new system :).

If you want to take a look around at the new platform (simple machine forum) you can see it working here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php#c4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You can also see how catspawisland uses SMF: http://forum.catspawisland.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; !

Hopefully, I forgot to add to my post that catspawisland uses this platform so you can see how it would work with a chatlands site and how it can be customised too! http://forum.catspawisland.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Wait, so the layout of the forum will be different, or will it stay the same as it is now?
I'm finally familiar with everything, I don't want it to change too much ;_;

Nope you should be able to log into the not platform with no issue :)

Everything should be in roughly the same place, I'm going to aim for the forum to have a similar look and feel it does now, with the blue because it's pretty neutral in terms of a default look, maybe we can finally get some new themes going too!

If anything is different it'll be little things like how to change a signature or how the search works etc :) If you look at CPI's forum the layout is really similar to how PHPBB3 looks albeit the skin is different. But posts/replies/quotes all look the same.
