It wasn't possible to log in over there.

I get a server not found error.

And where do I check that avatars are allowed to upload?  Is that maybe something that is switched off on our normal forum?

But how can we test if the new software allows upload of avatars?

Oh, I wanted to post this picture... but then I tried adding a new reply to the section and the "no post" thing went away.  So I guess this wasn't an issue at all and just not me realizing that if the latest post is too far back... it doesn't list anything in that column.  One issue gone, then.

Well, many of the issues deal with when posting.

But it didn't fix that forum section from not showing posts.  We haven't tried uploading avatars to the new one to see if that works.  And we really have no way of testing these things on the new one you made... so we cannot see if it fixed those issues.

It looks acceptable, but I'm not seeing how it fixes the issues we are having.  Also... if we make the switch, will the URL for the forum change?  How will people then be able to find it?

The forum link doesn't show the grey and black style.

And the "Officially Licensed Props Discussion" still shows it has no posts on the front page, even though it has a lot of posts.  Is that a bug that is fixed when the transfer i made?

Also, please wait with the switch.  I need to alert my co-admins about this and the forum itself.  I'll ask them to not post anything when I give the okay to make the switch, so we make sure we do not lose anything.

Will the update screw up permission settings on the accounts?  As mentioned before there are hidden sections that users should not be able to access or view the new posts from.

And will it fix the ability to upload avatars?

Got more opinions on people preferring this look to the forum:

I'm not sure what I should review on that link you wanted me to review.  The alternate forum made looks decent and seems to work fine.

Got one reply back on the forum style.  And I agree with that user that this one might be the best look:

It's been a while since I've dealt with the inner workings of forums.  But what do you mean by main features?  We have a few hidden sections that needs to remain hidden (also so users cannot see new posts in the new posts feed from those sections.  Is that what you mean?

I could post examples of the two versions on the forum and see which one people prefer?  Could you give me a week to come back with a verdict from the users?

Though, the first link has a black and red version, which looks good too.  But it may be too aggressive on the eyes, for some.

If it might help fix the issues, then I see no issues.  Will it break links and avatars and pictures, or will those just be converted?

Some people prefer a dark background with light text and others prefer a light background with light text, like we have available on the forum now.  The last link for dark looks nice - does it also come in a light version, so we can have both?

The forum really is messed up now.  Would it be possible to get some assistance on the various issues, please?

The limit of the avatar images has also been reverted back to 150x150 pixels instead of 160x160 pixels.  Maybe this is also part of the issue?

I tried deleting my current avatar and try to upload a new one, but the error message I get is this:

*The URL you specified is invalid."

I tried uploading a picture from both imgur.com and flickr.com through the direct link URL on both sites as well as the BBCode links.  Nothing worked.  And now I don't have an avatar either.
