Jonathan, what do you actually mean by this?

And we're all really nice people, too.

It's just that being treated like idiots tends to get us ornery.

Still, today is a new day, and it seems to be a much better one than yesterday - so many thanks

The competition threads now load very quickly.

You're getting there.
You beat me to it, George!

I can confirm this - delighted by this change.

I also really like the way the content now resizes with the browser, as I suggested yesterday.

As I said, I can live with this now, while all the myriad other things are addressed bit by bit.

Thanks for the responsiveness, guys.

Not sure if anyone has noticed yet, but we have added a fullscreen layout for the forums and removed the image resizing in the forum as well.
Fantastic news, thank you.

I reckon I can live with it now - looking forward to all the more minor things filtering through as fixes in due course.

I'll be on your case about those, next

I'd go back to the old one for now, but use vBulletin or phpBB3 instead for the new one.

I run a dance forum using vBulletin (not even the current version), and it works just fine. And the people that run PentaxForums.com have made a pretty good job of the site there, which also uses vBulletin.

So I've voted for 'revert', but I'd rather efforts were put into something a bit more mainstream.

By the way, FWIW, I've raised a problem report linking to this thread, so that we can hopefully get a view from the powers that be on the technical issue that Darkmunk and I have raised.

Could arrange for a half-hour session or so during the week (in my lunch break). Let me know if there are any takers and we'll try and set up a trial...

Heavens, the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Do you chaps write forum software or something?

With accompanying 'Mwahahahaha'?

Since your move to DSLRs, has anyone noticed certain times more?
No mate, it's just you

It took me a good 30 seconds or so to work out what you're on about here (coffee's not kicked in yet this morning) - but when I clocked (clocked - geddit?), I laughed out loud.

Nice one.
