spread the word
Most people are pretty clueless about the new move, if you're one off the few here now, spread the word...they could've given us notice.
the standard maintenence message you encountered when following the old link can be edited to say "the new board is here... http://www.ambrosiasw.com/forums/index.php?showforum=60..(just the facts ).
smooth move exlax...

It took me a couple of days to find the new forum because the old bookmark said, "temporarily down for routine maintainence" till just recently. I'm still trying to find my way around because not all the features are fully implemented yet.
But to answer your "wonerment" Ogre_Bob, We are watching you! :unsure:
Well, we did know it was happening - and some of the users knew as well, just not all, I suppose. At any rate, I'm rather fond of IPB myself, as it's a lot more fun to tinker with than UBB or phpBB. Just a few thing to sort out - maybe see if they can figure out forum-specific skinning etc, and I think we'll be good to go. ^_^

Tarn, do you know if we are allowed to use image signatures now?

I have seen a few on some other forums. If they stay relatively small and unobnoxious, they might just survive. If a lot of members abuse the system, they just might all be banned.
About my earlier poke at you, I didn't want to miss the chance when my cartoonist offered one. All in good fun. I'm sure my late-night typing will soon present an opportunity for retaliation.

Hrm. Nothing has been said either way as of yet - quite a few people are against avatars, let alone image signatures, as it is unfair for dialup users - as a user of dialup on a 28.8k connection, I can say I don't have a problem with avatars, at least. ^_^
As to image signatures, as RD said, as long as you keep them relatively small, then it shouldn't be a problem. Figure a height of no more than around 70 pixels - maybe 60, and try to keep the file sizes under 50k odd. If you can keep within that - I think it should be alright, at least for now.
We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

How's 450 x75? This seems to be the standard max signature size on other forums. If you think it should be removed, I will do so immediately :ninja:
points to sig
edit: RD, no offense taken =). I'll be looking for your slip-ups

Yep, that should be fine. Nice picture, actually
Mind you, I've never ever had a signature pic... I've used the same quotation for a very long time now. I like it. Change is good, but... I like it! ^_^

Hey, no offense but, these arent that good, theyre the same i use for my webboards.....so, its just not origanal
Sorry for the double post, forgot to login, but could i be an admin or somtin, temporarily, cause i could make the boards look and be better (been using invision ALL my life). Just asking (dont worry, im very trustworthy)
Hrmm...
I definitely like the new boards.... The "sticking out tongue" smiley isn't very good though... <_< Neither i the "wink" for that matter. 
(see what I mean?).
Overall, though, the boards look nice, though we'll probably have a decreased user base for a while. 
P.S. Are those blue dots under our title (i.e. "Member") supposed to be karma? :blink:
