[ANNOUNCEMENT] New forum software - Please bear with us!
« on: August 06, 2016, 02:51:48 AM »
As you can probably tell we are now using SMF for our forum software instead of phpbb. There are lots of new things for me to go over so please bear with us while we work everything out. Don't worry, medals and other features should return as soon as we get round to them.

Users with certain symbols in their usernames will be unable to log in, ever. I will allow a name change for these users. Contact me via e-mail (admin @ cutstuff . net without spaces) or @cutmanmike on twitter with your old username and desired new username if this applies to you.

Please report any other issues or oddities you find here.

Edit: Currently aware of the fact spoilers and youtube bbcodes are broken in old posts. Feel free to edit and fix them for now if you wish but I may have to do some kind of mass-fix later on. Some posts you will simply have ti click edit, then they will fix themselves.

(click to show/hide)
hopefully you find a way to port over the old layout (or something similar)

the forums have looked largely the same since before the SGC Demo was a thing
I guess the current theme just sort of... iunno, feels alien almost?

also R.I.P. fun medal :-X

If you go searching for SMF themes and find the most subsilver (old theme) looking one I can add it easy enough.

RIP quick reply and subsilver  :'(

Even with the rocky transition, it's nice to see a more "modern" board. (also it links to the discord, nice)

Now I have to get my avatar set up properly, since I don't like the default "men's loo sign" one.

I'll see if there's a mod for quick reply

Edit: Oh it exists, just had to enable it (if I add any extra themes I will need to enable it for those too)

My main problem with it is that it breaks links to other topics from the previous forums.
Everything else is bearable.

EDIT: Testing edits.

EDIT 2: Scratch that it sucks I don't have invisible edits anymore.

Wow, am I lucky. Plenty of forum software doesn't seem to like *s.

I miss the simplicity of the old format. This one's going to take some getting used to.
