Nice one Russ, I get the feeling this one is less likely to crash all the time.

That image at the top is quite large in height, takes up roughly a third of the page on my resolution. I'd recommend making it a bit shorter if possible as it means quite a lot of scrolling.

Great work and congratulations all round.
My only comment would be any chance you change the typeface (or make it larger) or the wording at the top - the `home` `new topics` etc?
I struggled to read those, my eyes must be tired after a hard day, nothing to do with age of course...........

Russ
Well done on setting this up, it looks great BTW.
Any idea why the official one has been pulled?

Ray - the official forum has be pulled due to the fact it was hugely unreliable. Hopefully, this one will be able to cope with large user numbers and post volumes when a major story breaks and people want to discuss it.
Dan - interesting point about including links to news on the official website, I'll look into it.

So far, I like the following: the 'new' button, saving you trawling through posts to find freshly squeezed ramblings. And, the Twitter integration Both, nice

Can you ban 'he who's name must not be said' before he starts going on and on and on and ruins the board.
and I don't mean Frank.

The worst thing about all this is so many people changing their user names.

New additions: Scrolling news has now been added to the top of the main page of the forum (where you select what board you want).
This won't necessarily be updated as and when breaking news occurs, but we'll try our best to keep it 'fresh' - Ling's preview of the Barrow match is the current item (it's a clickable link, as they will all be)
Further to that, you now must be registered to post, but can read the forum without being logged in.
And finally, the rankings system has been changed, as is reflected by the tags that sit just underneath your name, along with the star(s). After a certain amount of posts, you will earn promotion through the ranks - I can tell you that all have a loooong way to go to reach the ultimate accolade, and you'll have to wait and see what that is!

Sorry, didn't I mention that CRC substitutes aren't allowed to ask questions?
