Due to the high ammount of spam the board has been getting (and the fact that this board is about 5 years old!) I have gone out and bought a licence for the latest version of the vbb software.

I will be attempting to upgrade the board over the next few days so anything could happen!

Be patient and wish me luck!!

See you on the other side......

Well, it took a few hours and over £100 (about time we got the latest version!) but look what we have now!

A lovely shiney new message board!:eek:

Have a play, let me know if you find anything neat!

I'll tweak the graphics when i get time, along with the donate button that gone walkies!

Comments please!

Ooh new toys to play with... :)

Like the quick reply bit too, makes things a bit easier (once you work out which button activates it...lol)

Come on everyone, time to donate again (once Paul finds the donate button ;) )

Ady.

I am having quite a lot of trouble when writing replies. As the reply page opens, the text box is squashed to the left such that it is only about 8 characters wide.

This is probably because I am running the page zoom function on my Opera web browser. Incidentally, Opera is miles better than Firefox or IE, mainly for this zoom feature, as it lets me run high res screens with readable text.

Hope you can fix this for me.

Hey, that's weird. Now that I try replying to my own message, I get a sensibly-sized text box... Hmm...

Edit:
Now seems to consistently work fine.

Looks good to me Paul, especially now I've found the 'view new posts' too :-)

Wow! I dunno, you don't visit for a week or so and when you return, everything's changed. I'm also a member of type r owners.co.uk, and that's a pretty swish looking message board, but this looks even better. Top job.
