Looks like a change to the Island, no? I hope I'm still able to mispel, bitch, gripe and whine here Looks good. Steve, did you have a hand in this? |

Nah, they imposed a change on all the Invision Free boards, so we basically didn't have a choice. At some point I would like us not to have Northwestern State's color scheme, but I will need to investigate how to go about doing that at some later time. |

The layout is fine, but I wasn't crazy about the color scheme either. |

So will the other stuff be back up? Like the rotating photos of Maes, the story of the game, etc? |

Game story and regular website are still up, we just don't have a direct link from here as of now. Hopefully there is a way to reestablish that. I would have left things as they were, but there are probably ways to do all kinds of things with this new board that I am not technologically savvy enough to pull off. |

Steve, Thanks for hosting this board and your efforts to keep it up and running. It has been a sounding board over the years for the Privateer faithful.....and trust me, I know my own technical limitations.....light switch goes up for the lights to go on.....and down for them to go off...... GO PRIVATEERS!!! |

Are there settings I need to play with for the board to identify the threads with new posts like the old board used to? Am I the only one that is having that problem? |

It looks like the threads with new posts are not easily identifiable as far as I can tell. When you click on a thread it will take you to the most recent unread post, but I don't see any markers identifying the ones that have new posts. |

I think I've figured it out. The threads with new posts have a different color icon to the left. Looks purple if they have new posts. And you're right, just clicking on the thread title brings you to the most recent unread post. Just need to get used to it. All good. Like everyone said...thanks for doing this. |

I'm still not particularly happy about the look -- it's pretty clumsy -- but at least I eradicated most of the orange. There's still some left but not enough to make us look completely like a NWST and/or Sam Houston fan site, like it was before. I wish there was a way to get it back to where clicking the banner linked you to privateerisland.net but not sure that is possible. We'll see. |
