Brilliant, who said that? Would be quite good to have lovely quotes like that down below.

Lee did, click the link above the quote and it'll take you to the post in question.

I also think it's a fab use for the space, the only problem being the size of it restricts the quotes to about 25 words or less. Might be an interesting use for the RTP system.

To celebrate this change I have had the forum footer installed on the walls of my office.

Well that's the majority of it done. A few more template fiddles and we should be at 100%, sorry for logging you all out but there was this tempting new "log everyone out" button on the admin panel that I just wanted to press.

Also you're now able to report PMs, the recaptcha thing is built in and no longer a plugin, there are some fab new tools to purge useless users and the TVF auto signup is broken until I work out how to make it work with the new registration page.

I'll make the remaining bits of ugly go away asap. And swap the buttons down there back the right way round again too.

New version of phpBB out today. Slightly more major update than usual so there will be a fair bit of downtime.

Exciting new features include:
new capchta thing that's not an addon
report a PM
loads more stuff, see http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1859035 if you care.

Question is... is it to early to use the Christmas downtime animation?

Yes.

Yes it is.

At the same time can we buy a new mobile and bottle of water?
It's getting a bit boring. (Perhaps an iPhone instead of the Sony Ericsson Brick)

We're already on our second bottle of water.

Absolutely NOT having an iphone thank you. Anyhow we're only 11 months into the contract for the 595 which you'd know if you were keeping notes on the design like you should be.

Are we not on the second phone too?

does this version of phpBB allow for a mobile version - its hard to read on the iphone - it must be possible - you are a god oh PHP (or at least installing a script)

Are you going to update the nectar card? its been re issued with no logos on it

we are on the second phone yes, we launched with a w910i of course

as for a mobile version, not really sure, although I hear the 3GS can cope better with the site.

Either way I'm going to have to redo the templates so I'll try and keep them simple.

Thanks, I'd lost that page of my records.

it would be nice if we could have a mobile Metropol similar to mobile TVF for those of us still relying on WAP/GSM. Not all of us need/want an iPhone or a blueberry.
