[jaydee]

yeah it does look better, but can we add some more, =)

i got one i use on my forums for work, i likes it alot, wouldnt mind installing that one.

[RXI73D]

Jaydee - send me a link to ure forum skin and i will have a look at it?

[jaydee]

yeah no worries. i'll find the link on the phpbb site in a tick.

i would even customize it for ozwrx,

[Elmo]

When i use it i get page unavailable when i submit :?

[RXI73D]

Are u still getting the error??

Are u using INternet Explorer or Firefox?

Try Ctrl Refresh??

[jaydee]

i use firefox 100% of the time.

i still getting a random error every now and again with pages loading....

whats going on?? is it me or are other people getting it to.. if its me tell me, i'll format lol

[Elmo]

all good now

[RXI73D]

I use Firefox, and i havent got any errors since the new skin and server have been uploaded??

It could be u??

I dont know if u need a format but have u tried loading the new version firefox??

FireFox 1.0.6 (http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-1.0.6&os=win&lang=en-US/)

[jaydee]

every other forum im on is 100% error free for me.. atm anyhoo.

thats even including ricenet =S and im on heaps of forums.

well im due for a format, its been like 2 months since last format, so im overdue... so we'll see then, maybe some bad cache from the old site on the old server, who knows, could be anything.

im still deciding who i need for a web host.. do you still swear by these guys, i think the problem may even be the sql database on the server itself.. but thats just my opinion..

either way as long as i can still read and post im happy =)

[RXI73D]

Im not sure mate, cause i havent had a problem with the forum since the new server.. and i am using it from home and work..

So it could be ure pc..?

See how this server goes for you after a couple of weeks and u decide what u want to do with who provides your hosting.

I have noticed dramatic speed increase in forum borwsing and loading time.

Clear your cache and temp internet folders and see how u go..

If it is a MySQL problem there is only one fatal error that you should be getting and that is the script that you are using cannot connect to the database at all, a good indication of this if you try to use other scripts on your site that are database dependant and they are also not working.

iContact-Hosting has been moved to the new server as well, we have small forum running a vBulletin board so if you ever notice ozwrx forum down then this link http://www.icontact-hosting.com/forum/ should be down also.

The new skin and the entire board itself does need some more work as I have also noticed some missing pages when performing random actions. I personally think that this is more to do with the cookie management of phpBB rather than the end-users PC.

Please send the error messages to your administrators so that it can be investigated and fixed.

[jaydee]

yeah i think yo could be right, we are having a similar problem with pages here at work with cookies not setting properly.. but thats an issue with logging in and staying logged in, a random action will throw you out.. but its generally good.

hmmm ahhwell, we'll see how it goes =)

as long as i can post, im happy lol

[rexin]

this is so much better set out

i think you should change this to the defult skin
so new users when they log in for the first time get the best impression

[jaydee]

yeah definatly a good idea, it does look much better, should even overwrite everyones default skin to this =)

only for a day or two so everyone gets to see it lol

[icontact]

there are still a few minor adjustments that needs to be done on this skin but as soon as that has been completed the owners would definately move all users to this as a default skin.

Need to a add a few more icons and place navigation to where it should be.

[jaydee]

yeah one thing that would be very useful with this skin, i dunno if you have noticed yet, is down the bottom right where it says what page your on. there is no page navigatar icon (like you cant click what page you want to go to) so you have to go to the to pof the page to change pages..

[rexin]

i think even in the opening ozwrx page (before u get to the forum) it should be set out like this..

Also the quick reply box is great, but how do u add the emotions in? other than memorising the symbols? because we have some crazy ones

[RXI73D]

At the top of the page there is a POST REPLY button click it and u will get full functions!!

[Elmo]

Also needs page links at the bottom of the page.
I got sick of scrolling back to the top

[RXI73D]

Dont scroll there is a button on the bottom left saying TOP!! click it takes u straight up!

[icontact]

not to worry. im changing the layout so that the navigation is easier to avoid scrolling back to the top

[4PRVEN]

LOVE THE NEW LAYOUT OF OZWRX GUYS!
well done!
