Forum upgrade

I've upgraded the forums to phpBB3.

All the old links should automatically redirect, and you should be able to log in using your usual password. If you're having problems though, please use the "Forgot password" link to reset your password.

Enjoy using the new forums!

What are these Bots things
I've seen Google [bot] and Yahoo [bot]

And a great new look to the forums :D

Michael - it's called 'spidering' (at least last time I looked it was).

Google/Yahoo are search engines. They help people find things on the net. How do they do that if they don't look at it first?

Oh, and nice face-lift on the forum's.. Shame all the pics are on the right-hand side though.

Hmmm... seems like a downgrade more than an upgrade. The avatars on the right hand side of the screen is confusing and it's hard to tell where one post finishes and another starts. But hey, maybe it'll grow on me.

I haven't used it much, but I like the aesthetics of phpBB3 better than the previous version so far. Good move, Alex.

How about moving the pictures to the middle and splitting the text in two rows around it... That would be even stranger.

Seriously, I do think the new forum looks good.

Good Job Alex

WOAH
This is just amazing to be honest. It'll take a bit of getting used to, but otherwise pretty cool.
Are there any actual new features, or is it almost all completely aesthetic?

I don't think it's shame on the avatars.
It just makes me laugh
Most just shrank

How does Google and Yahoo Go into the Registered Users Online
Its like Alex knows their IP address

I just wonder if there's any more search engines looking at this forum

P.S Good thing for locking my topic
I dont need all those garbage post that enemies throw at the topic

Dont get me wrong but why is this topic here?
I thought it was on the Announcement section..
If there's a reason why it shouldn't be on the Announcement section you could at least put this topic in the Chat Forums.
I dont think this has gotta do with Creating Games
