Geeezz what's happened whilst I've been away!! When you said the server was being changed I wasn't expecting it to look different. It's kinda cool, nice work!.

As much as I like signatures, some peoples were getting ridiculously big. Although it's easier to tell who's writing what as it cuts it up a bit more.

I definitely like the change, I agree the old one was outdated. It was getting spam constantly too.

But I think the colour schemes at present aren't enough of a contrast. I'm finding it very hard to read people's posts, who posted them and when new posts arrive.

Corrupted Threads Since Server Move?

Post by MaxZ »

I've been looking through a few pages (haven't been on here for quite a while now)
My thread of all the info on the GTI has been reduced to about 15 sentences! What's happened????

Thanks for letting me know. I've added a bit on the disclaimer page to say you need to use an up-to-date browser to use the site.]

Cheers

not sure if many other people are having problems so its a good idea added it to the disclaimer page, i was having trouble connecting for a few days just thinking it was at the server end, then had more time last night to find out it was my old internet explore that was the problem :(

I'm using ie6 and it seems fine to me.

I'm using it at work so we've only got ie6. Although I can't see many of the pictures and avatars, but thats just because work have blocked Photobucket and the like. They've also blocked http://www.UK-polos.net, but I can get round it by using the Tigerstyle address, so please dont change that :P
