Until and unless all the previous posts come back, we defiantly lost more than we gained. The forum software doesn't matter nearly as much as the content it contains.

Waaait ... are they actually going to make form which makes woman look MORE feminine YET male? I think this will be worse than Tedd.

Currently listening to the UK vs. France women's Rugby 7s game - and the other 7s games being played today. Just listening because I'm working on something - but Rugby 7s is an awesome game.

Yeah, i noticed when it asks for birthday it prompts for Month/Month/Year, hopefully that's fixed in the next update of the forum software.

Speaking from experience working on the backend of another forum - When Robin says we're starting fresh, he means FRESH. The forum is starting from scratch due to the accident regarding the old server and its hard drives. Now - speaking personally as an IT tech primarily and admin/server maintainer on another forum secondarily - it should be possible to get the old forum data from the old server drives, BUT that will take a fair bit of time (and probably money) depending on the level of technical work needed to be done to rescue the data. Whilst it would be nice to get it all back, there likely WILL be a point where the cost-benefit ratio doesn't work in favour of getting the data back.

Good idea, I'll throw together a post real quick with some of the basic info I've figured out from playing around on the forums the past hour or so :). It won't stay accurate for too long, due to upgrades and other such stuff being done as the forums get put into order (Like @Robin has implied that BBCode will probably be coming as soon as it gets fixed on the forum software end, and in the meantime if we wish [and we {or at least I} definitely do] they'll turn on HTML formatting for us). But some basic stuff on how the editor seems to be working would be good, and then others can add what they've figured out to it as well. EDIT: And done. Here's the thread as promised:

This is useful information, and should probably be in a separate thread, maybe in the General section.

Unknown at this moment. We'll probably get clarification in the next page. This would be nice. I wouldn't be too sure. He does strike me as a "make the same mistake 8 times" kind of guy. He means well, and he isn't stupid, but he is a bit predictable and doesn't seem to put a whole lot of thought into his choices. I can see him checking the book regularly for maybe a week or two, then going back into his old routine and forgetting to keep up with it. Hah, I seem to have figured out a way to force nested quotes. (You have to multiquote both posts, then drag one quote inside the other in the WYSIWYG editor). Also, I agree with Changer. This post is an example of why we need the nesting quotes. Is this even possible to understand in context without following the linkback three different times? Now what if we had an entire chain going on, with multiple multiquote responses? Anyways, I think the GPS, Internet, SMS integration would be a cool thing. ALSO, just so everyone knows: On these boards hitting enter adds a new line in between the line you're writing on and the next thing you type. Like so: : See? No need to hit the enter button twice to spread paragraphs out. Now, if you need merely a carriage return and not an empty new line between them, hit "shift+enter" to get the next line without excess spacing. Like so: : see?

Yes, this please. BBCode or basic HTML or something other than in addition to WYSIWYG. (I'd also take Markdown). Also, there's a bit of a bug in the profile area. When putting in date of birth, both the first two boxes are the month of birth...and no option for the day. And it throws an error if you don't put at least the month and the day. Good luck with the data recovery. I'd like to see some of the stuff preserved as well. EDIT: Also, another bug report: The "Location" info underneath the user's post count has formatting issues. If you just put "Texas - USA" in the box, for instance, what appears to show is "LocationTexas - USA". So I had to put ": Texas - USA" to make it look right. Maybe a bug report forum / subforum would be a good idea? EDIT2: Also, I know this is probably a big ask, but is there any possibility of a dark theme (Grey or black) being offered? I like the general design and layout, but the bright white is quite blinding.

Good luck with recovery. There are definitely posts I would like preserved. Meanwhile, can you get the option of editing the source back? I mean, write the posts in bbcode instead of WYSIWYG.
