Here is the link for the partially built new forum. http://www.aussiecampovenforum.com/cgi-bin/yabb3/yabb2/YaBB.pl

Please go in and have a look around.  I have transferred everything as far as members, messages and photos so log in and have a good look around.  Add a test post or two

Basically it isn't that different.

BE AWARE THAT IF YOU CHANGE ANYTHING AT ALL IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE DELETED WHEN IT GOES LIVE AND EVERYTHING OFF THIS BOARD WILL BE TRANSFERRED ACROSS

WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK ~ GOOD OR BAD

Cheers


Derek

Congrats on your new forum. Do prefer the coloured camp ovens for new postings. Little grey flashing dots are a bit hard for the visually impaired. Keep up the good work

Thanks for that

Yep agree.  Those buttons came with the program and they have to go.  I am looking at something to replace them.  Still may go with the red and black camp ovens yet.

Problem I have is the buttons have moved from the old board and the camp ovens are to big.  I'll work something out.

Some of the colors are a bit all over the place but I am getting there.  It's not like you just click a box to change the color, you have to go into the code and change each one.  :-[

Ok I shrunk the camp ovens and put them on.  Also uploaded a pic of a camp fire for the sides.

Dunno if I like it though.  Would be nice to have a different pic that represents the categories.  Sigh!

Ok, worked out that I can turn that off and on.  We want visitors to look and join, not be frustrated cause they can't see anything.  ;D

Derek,

Sorry, I don't have time to look.  The one thing I will say, is please keep the over all colours light.

I have real problems with dark backgrounds.

As with RVO, I pushed the envelope and 3 options were made available for backgrounds.  Us old fogey's has interesting eyes.

& I'm on a new-to-me laptop.

Will pm re. other stuff in theory.

:)

Colors have not changed from here.  Still basically the same.
