Within the last day I have performed three tweaks to the forum:

  • The size limit on signatures has been increased.
  • The number of posts per page in a topic has been increased from 10 to 20. As such a couple of topics that were two pages long have reverted back to one page.
  • I have added a link to the old forum in the bar on top of this forum. I couldn't add a straight link so it'll take you to a small webpage which provides a further link onto the old forum.


I'll keep you updated on any more changes performed.

I've added a number of yellow emoticons to the site today. You can access them by clicking on the Show All link on the left hand of an edit box whenever you're posting. Here's a preview of a few:

I've edited some of the Post buttons with a new font and colours in order to make them clearer and more prominent.

Some more board tweaks:

  • Banner: As you can all probably see, I hope, there's a banner for the Nationals sitting on top of the forum. I believe I can plug in a bit of script there that will allow me to display multiple banners, each one rotating to the next one every few seconds or minutes. I have plans. :-"
  • Favicon: A favicon in the form of the clubs badge has also been added to the forum. That's the small symbol that displays on your browser tab beside each website you visit. Britmodellers are using an RAF roundel I believe.
  • Ticker Bar: A ticker bar, of sorts, has been added to the top of the forum. Important announcements may appear there from time to time.
  • Calendar: I spent some time today updating the forum Calendar with various shows on over the next year. The event will appear in the Board Statistics area of the forum within seven days of its start date. Keep your eyes peeled.

That's really great work. :clap:

The banner in particular is very eye-catching.

I forgot to mention, I realise the Search function on the forum is still not working. As I've said before this isn't a problem exclusive to our forum but is a problem within the Zetaboards architecture. As far as I know, and have been told, they're looking into the problem.

After a discussion between the Moderators and myself we have agreed on the following board tweaks:


  • 'Stealth' editing of posts is no longer available. Now whenever you edit a post a message will appear at the bottom of that post stating so.
  • Deletion of posts is also no longer available. Only Staff members will be able to delete posts. Requests for the deletion of a post may be sent to a Staff member with a valid reason and it will be considered.
