Otherwise, it looks great! Good work zic (& co)!
Yea thats your stupid computer :D

Ok i guess i went a bit liberal on the size. It looks great on my screen, but i guess not everyone has a 24" lcd at 1920x1200 8)

These are the most streamlined yet least visually attractive forums I have ever been on, aside from yer basic boards back in 93'. Bah and I hate you all.

Server Specific Forums (NWN1)


Live Server Specific Forums (NWN2)

Zic can you add the word "Live" to prefix the NWN1 Server Specific Forums to match the NWN2 section.

I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else, but the forum theme I was using appears to be gone. When I logged on today it had reverted to the default "Bl@ck" them and only offered the "subsilver2" and "twilightBB" themes as alternatives.

Neither of these was the theme I was using before (can't remember it's name though). I would very much like to have it back....

Working on a whole new thing for this, integrated much more with the website.

Should be done shortly.

The forums i removed where usercreated hacks that had alot of bugs etc. I hope you can live with this one until I'm done with the integration stuff.

I never noticed any problems with prosilver personally, unless the problems were on the server end. I'll be happy to see how the new theme being worked on looks but hopefully we can still have those other options as long as they don't damage the boards.

Well, I guess you could link to it manually instead of using the new system.the new one is going to be pretty nice and minimalistic though :)

To get an idea of what it'll be like you can have a look here:
(still early work in progress though, only gotten more of less where i wanna be with the front index)
