first post by someone whos not ben

Where's the Active Topics button ?????????????????????????

Err, ok, found it!

Nice one, well done Ben!!

What's happened to member titles though??

Looking good Ben!

Looks more modern, a bit different...

Noticed that theres no links section and you have to get your own smilies for the message.

Looks great, bit more up to date! This will atract more users I think! Greetings from Holland

Click to expand...

Ive found out that if you just type in , etc for the smiley you want, it will automatically be turned into a smiley!!!

One good trick - in User CP and then Edit Options - turn on the full WYSIWYG text editor; smilies can then be picked from a drop down menu.

Also note the new 'full screen' mode, selectable from the very bottom of each page

well done ben - i am sure it has been worth the wait -dj resound i think you need to make your sig a little smaller

how do we do active topics??

or can we not? do we have to do the topic read button?

Nice one! Site looks more modern and I like the new interface. The rep system is nice too, well done Ben

ok, active topics is now called - New Posts

Smilies are automatically converted, you dont need to square brackets around things.

Your user title, if you have donated, can be changed in the control panel (no need to mail me anymore )

Oh, and down the bottom there is a drop down, which will probably say 'FIAT Forum Traditional' - change this to 'FIAT Forum Traditional (Full Screen)' for obvious results (it will save the option for you)

Apart from that..... any more questions... (just dont ask about PM's, i know the counter doesn't work, got a support ticket out with vBulletin, so they can fix it...)

Thanks Ben for your hard work in getting us changed over! It appears we are now in working order

Ben, is there any other way of donating other than paypal?

And i hope the link section will be up soon, i used that to find decent companies and websites for my mods.

i hope so, i'm so tired... got work in an hour, i better rush... i cant even just fritter through the day then home to sleep, i got a 2 hour Japanese lesson @ 6:30 - ah well, its worth it (i hope!!)

By the way, anyone who's wondering where the front page went, i'll sort it at work

also you can leave people feedback on the posts they make - whether you think the post made was good or bad - it is anonymous as far as i am aware.
but remeber you have to spead your reputation around before givivng it to the same person again

I'm trying my best to spread it about a bit

Nice one, i have just requested my password and i am back in. I like the new look of the forum. I really like the option of making it fullscreen, good job ben. U r the man!!!

looks good, better but not too different!
