Welcome to SoldatForums version 2.0!
« on: October 21, 2008, 01:13:59 am »
Hey everyone,

Welcome to SoldatForums version 2.0.  This means:
- New Theme
- Based on SMF 2.0
- Lots of bugfixes
- Lots of new features
- New active topics page that behaves a bit differently (better)
- Frontpage like the old old forums
- We got the old domain back, though we're still going to try and migrate off of it
- Much, much more!

ElephantHunter and I have been working on this for the past few weeks, the vast majority of credit goes to him.

Please look around, enjoy, and report any problems you encounter!

Flies is being a bit modest. He was instrumental in setting the forum up so quickly. Hope everyone enjoys our new forum and reports bugs (in the appropriate section :P)

That's nice! Thank you very much!

And congratulations on retaking the old domain!
We can enter forums via either domain now, it doesn't matter?

PS Do I remember correctly that in previous forums shortcuts to upper-leves boards (for example, when I am here, these shortcuts look like this:
)
Were not only on the top of the page, but also at the bottom? I miss it a little... Or is something wrong with my memory?
[edit] Well, this "jumping" menu at the bottom can replace oit perhaps...[/edit]

What the hell have you done to SF?! ;D

Now it looks like 'portal'. It'd be nice to see 'static' sections like download etc.

I like it ;).

That's what the Soldat homepage is for (downloads, etc) as well as community sites

I though about something like 'download section' with topics that have only one post with image and link, for good mods and maps :).

Wow, its very different with the new homepage. I almost feel there needs to be a bit more emphasis on the link to the main "Forum" page for people new to it, at least for a little while for people to adjust.

Great work anyway, it's good to hear you got the old domain name too.

Loving it! Makes it look much more slick and...generally better :) I'd need to change my avatar when I get back home from college, since the colour gradient doesn't blend in like it used too.

And glad we got the old domain back. Though not sure why we'd want to "migrate off of it".

I do have a request though; I'd like the "Moderation Centre" to be renamed the "Inquisitorial Chamber of Ecclesiarchal Judgement". Thanks. :P

Hahaha, nice! I wasn't serious but I'd sure like to keep it anyway. :D And nice sub-description too. :) Heretics shalt be purged, and thy forum cleansed.

I think I play Dawn of War: Deamon Hunters a bit too much.  ;^^
