Watch this space, we have a new look forum coming very soon, maybe even tonight. Before I install it, I am just getting advice on installations so that I don't run the risk of f**king everything up on installation.

Back up the old before you install the new....
Congratulations!

Making a darn good site even better!

Don't worry, I back up the database every day. This new forum is absolutely brilliant. If you think this one is good, you should see the one that's coming. It is on par with all the big forums that you find online. I can hardly wait. I have just installed a forum and overrated the old forum on my other website and all works perfectly okay. I'm just a little nervous about doing it on here. I just need the powers be to tell me that everything will work okay and then I will do it.

Penn, are you funding this? You must be because we don't seem to be putting up with any advertisements / spam or pop ups either. Are you funding this on your own?? Mind if I inquire what your cost is?? You can email me if you like...

(AND what is your "other website" if you don't mind me asking?)

Oh yes, I pay for the domains and the web space. But don't worry, it is as cheap as chips. Just over £5, or $9.99 a year for the domain and I think it's around £40, nearly $80 for the web space. And I have got absolutely loads. I think I have got about 200 gigs of web space. And when you bear in mind that this website doesn't take up much more than a couple of megabytes, you can see I've got quite a lot to play with.

Well, photos will add up to allot of space too. Anyway, if you ever need or desire me to kick in some I gladly will. Just let me know as I would silent partner with you.

Consider opening a Paypal account and have a link here or button where people can contribute if they like the site.

Thanks for the offer, it is very kind of you. Honestly, the money involved is next to nothing considering what I can do with the web space. I have got various websites hosted on all the same web space. It saves me a fortune and a lot of hassle as well.

What would you class as a production site?

Well, this new forum is very new. The people who designed the programme said although it was tested thoroughly, it should not be used on production sites. Not sure what they mean by a production site. The fact that they are using it on their own website makes me think it's perfectly okay.

Anyway, here goes. If everything goes pear shaped, it was nice knowing you

Well, after one heart stopping moment, seems to be working.

What think you?

VERY Nice... I like it!

It appears more "user friendly" etc.

Like Homer Simpson's Boss (Mr. Smithers?) would say: Exxxxxxcellent!!

One item of note. When you open up a topic and it overlaays the Helpful Article Menu, you cant read all the words of the post because they are interfered with. Is it possible that the background color is set to trnasparent and it might be better off in white?? Open a tropic and you will see how it overlaps the Help Menu on the right...

Openm this one, then look at the very first post of this topic (not the last post, the first):
