Nice to see the upgrade. I got some extra BBcode's for you if you want them (see attachments).

Also, could you possibly replace the subSilver gradients for the older phpBB 2.2 ones? (also attached) these ones look very jagged.

Some previews of both of these can be found here.

I don't really see a need for any of those, to be honest.

I think the Spoilers one is quite useful, I've seen it used to much advantage on other forums.

But those forums weren't about transportation games, I bet.

Spoiler tags can be usefull in movie threads, or in threads where people have to guess something (game threads). They can then post their answer between spoilertags. :)

Or when stuff is discussed about a game. When someone knows how the ending goes of a game or hidden features then he can post it aswell. Between spoilertags ofcourse. :)

Glad the rest of you like it :)

The other gradients are from when phpBB 3 was still called phpBB 2.2, the developers replaced them with those horrible jagged ones now seen on subSilver.
Thanks,

Here you go.

Oh and BTW, an off topic BBcode will help users keep irrelevant content out of the way, or for moderators to push off topic content out the way.

I have to zoom in on the picture to see any difference at all... Is the difference that important?

At first I didn't even see it but it's not so much a different image as it is an offset error. I'm positive phpBB will solve that in any future v3.xx release

Heya. I just came back from a four week holiday and I'm a bit lost because of the new forum version. I'm sure I'll soon navigate here without a problem.

Combat: and would this said spoiler tag come in a TT theme (normal or red + yellow text)?

Same with me, (except it was two weeks), and everything is different!

Yes. It uses the built-in "QUOTE" class, so it'll adapt to whatever theme. Same with the off topic one.

I may be a bit late, but Hyronymus, DaleStan means no ill will. He simply means that he would eject all 'idiots', because they are 'idiots'. It's a credit to us that we tolerate people enough to guide them through their initial "newbie" stages, so they can become valuble, contributing members.

I know I for one am very lucky that I was guided, as now I contribute in a big way to a couple of large forums, and I wouldn't have got where I was today without people like Owen and r/Tombe showing patience rather than showing me the door.

So yes, DaleStan has a very valid point, and I take it as a compliment.

I've upgraded the forums to phpBB 3.0 RC4. If you spot any problems or errors, do let me know.

I think I found a bug. Sometimes the thread title is missing, well it's there but just not visible. I've attached a picture explaining it better. IE 6 is my web browser.

I can't wait for the common-as-muck response you're going to get from certain members, Jezulkim. It involve approximately these words:

"A", "Browser", "Better", "Web", "Get"

Not necessarily in that order.

Either way, tell em to shove off! :P
