I've only just discovered this zetaboard malarkey ... it doesn't look at all bad but isn't wildly user-friendly (on my Mac laptop, with Firefox) as the page size is considerably bigger than my screen size. But I am quite good at adapting (if I have to). Love the blue emos! Oh, and is there a list of the most recent posts, like the old search results page? Edited by Ali, May 30 2008, 01:59 PM.

Oh yeah, we'll get used to it, but I like the other way too. I guess it beats not having a message board at all. The main thing is that we didn't get the plug pulled like they did the last time. I can change, but I certainly don't want to lose my friends...you are all too precious to me.

Sorted? Fixing one problem at a time. The last will be restoring the skin. The first will be the domain. The next will be how you merge topics.

Forum HIstorian Posts: 3,222 Group: Senior Member Member #2 Joined: June 20, 2005	I agree, the speed is incredible. The errors I get usually ask me if I want to continue on the page I am on. Of course I do, because I'm on it. It normally requires that I click on "yes" twice before it will go away.

Actually that sounds like it was quite a success in an unintended way --- that guy ought to think of something new to ban every week so people will go out, spend money, and have fun boosting the economy.

Beth-prophet Posts: 8,206 Group: Forum Administrator Member #1 Joined: June 20, 2005	That's actually quite simple Faster servers (more RAM, faster processor clusters means pages are served faster), more bandwidth (more capacity for us to use up before we have to start sharing so much bandwidth), newer technology used to serve the pages (new ideas / better ways to do things in PHP and MySQL) I've just bought a dedicated server myself, so the website that goes with this forum should be much faster too, when I transfer it. How much longer I will be hosting those pages, and this domain, is another matter which I have been considering ... What the hell is "Fuck Boris" night? Edited by Ade, Jun 9 2008, 12:06 AM.
