The forum now runs on SimpleMachines Forum 2.0. This upgrade was pretty abrupt, but I'm glad I finally got to do it. When we started 2 years ago we knew of SMF 2.0 but did not want to use a beta. This is good because we will have more modification options, and some things that required a mod in SMF 1.15 are now a part of the forum.
All of us will have to learn the new drop-down menu system. It does save some clicking and might even save us bandwidth.
As for the theme, I want to let you know that you can change it.
Head to Profile > Account Settings > Modify Profile > Look and LayoutThe first option there will let you see the available themes. Choose among them and find one that fits you. I'm using the bright green now. I might even switch around from time to time
I hope that no one has any major issues with this upgrade. This version has been in development for a long time and is the result of the combined effort of a lot of dedicated people. You will find new features and changes to the way things used to work. You can talk about features and changes in this thread. Feel free to express your opinion about the upgrade and anything we might do to improve your experience. I am sorry but not every idea can be implemented.
Note There are few plugins installed right now. I will work to get those features working as quickly as I can. So if something's missing, it might be due to a plugin.
