Gonna use this forum software on the new server I think. After I went through all the trouble converting stuff to test it. I figured it made more since to switch to them now, so there's no need to do another entire conversion in the future. It seems to have properly imported all the data/users/etc. from the last forum, so I don't think there's a downside to things.

If you have trouble with things, let me know.


Some nifty new features include the ability to attach files/images directly to posts, better search functionality, great spam protection, spell checking, and many other things which I'm sure I haven't discovered yet. :-)

So it occurs to me that "Hero Member" sounds pretty fracking stupid. Below are the postcounts/tags for the "stared" groups. Help me pick new names/requirements.

I was never much for preassigned names... *shrug*

Well, what "theme" are you going to use for the names? It's kinda important in the whole creation of the names themselves (also would be neat to have names for higher than 500's  :P).

I don't know, that's why I'm asking for suggestion! :-)

Yeah, more than 500, I can do that too. If you'll recall, my old post count was slightly exaggerated. Converted to the new forum it triggered some easter-egg-like feature I couldn't disable. Rather than showing my post count or rank, it simply said "I'm a nerd!" for the count under my name. Anyway, I don't really care how it's setup either, so have fun. I'll probably change the titles from time to time too, just for the heck of it. Thus, any ideas/themes/etc are welcome.

I suggest science as a theme... now to think of actual titles.

it's so...bright! O.o;;

Eyes watering...

Color scheme is a bit hard on my eyes (darker is better, in most cases) but other than that, looks spiff!

You can probably use another theme, if Xeph has them installed. Or turn down the brightness/contrast on your monitor. :P

I have themes disabled at the moment. It's probably gonna stay that way at least until the new server. Sorry.

I was thinking Spore based stage names would be funny, but so far, I'm stuck at Molecular Mishap and Super Swimmer.  There's Tribal, Civilization, and Galactic domination phases afterwards.

Odd I don't have any issues, are you using IE or FF?
