This morning I have added a chat room. You can access it by clicking chat on the bar up the top ^^^^^^^. I've also implemented (is that the word?) a script that will enable any member to have whatever smilies he damn well pleases. I know that some of us like a bit of factor on our boards and this was easier than adding more individually. To add smileys just click "Profile" at the top of the page then click User Smilies next to Member's Bio. Then all you need to do is paste in the URL of a smiley you like. To do that all you need to do is find a smiley you want (eg at www.mysmiley.net) then right click it and select "copy image location". I'll keep adding any features that I think would benefit the forum over the next few weeks but if there is something in particular you want to see then post your idea here and I'll see if it can be done. Enjoy!

Update:
I have stuffed around with access rights making the board a bit more secure. I have also password protected the locations board. If you would like to post in there or view info in there (when there is some) please PM either myself or Rob.

Just another update, the secret reason I'm posting all of them up is so I remember what I've done if something stuffs up haha.
I have edited the code for the main page so that the categories dont get split into their own sections. The main page looks more streamlined now and is also smaller. If we add more categories I may need to reverse the change but for now I think it is a definite improvement.

I'm a pretty lazy person.. so is it possible to have a password save or remember on the login page?

That's to do with you browsers settings and cookies not us.

reckon u need to make the writing a bit darker or change the background, as it is a bit hard to read peoples post with such a light font and a light background

Yeah, I was waiting for someone to say that. I haven't had trouble reading it but thought some people might, I'll investigate it and maybe just go to black for now. The current look of the forum took me around 8 hours to get right so I'm not big on drastic changes at this stage.

Ok, tried black and I feel it is a little too "striking" with the "fresh" look of the forum. Is this grey dark enough for people to read the boards comfortably?

yeah that's better, but still reckon a more dynamic background would be good. Plenty of time for you to work on that though

Yeah there will definitely be a "new look" some time in the future but unfortunately my coding abilities are shocking so for now you have to live with this template. Once I know what I'm doing we should see another wave of changes hit where I can finally put everything exactly where I want it and how I want it.

Much of this is dependant on how the concept unfurls, if we are able to attract a large following, of course, many changes will ensue but if not, then who knows
