Cool Forum upgraded to vBulletin 3.5

[IMPORTANT] As just pointed out, the javascript files have significantly changed, yet are usually cached in your browser. If you are receiving Javascript errors in IE, hold down CTRL and press F5



Finally we are upgraded to the latest version! I've just finished modifying a load of code to use hooks (don't worry, it's more for me than you) - so the full power can be realised.. lol..

Nah, basically for you guys there a few performance modifications, a few bits looking nicer and a little bit of HCI updates... (oh and with a handy "page jump" box now, instead of having to click on and on ... )

The main changes are for me and the moderator team... HOWEVER...

This big change is this "hook" system, which allows simple integration of new add ons for the forum. So, you want something, a 3.5 hook exists, it can be added in a couple of minutes.

The arcade is currently offline until this gets upgraded to 3.5 compatible (should be any day now) and the trader ratings mod I promised will also go on when it's released (again, should be anyday).

In the mean time, feel free to see if you can find anything new and then rest safe in the knowledge the FF kicks ass

How do you flush cache in Opera? Though you had problems with the user search too.... maybe your browser is blocking something?

Re: Forum upgraded to vBulletin 3.5

To clear cache in Opera, click on File, Preferences, History and Cache (with most computers, you can use the keyboard shortcut ALT+P) and under Disk Cache on the right side of the Preferences screen, click Empty Now.
