Hi,

As you can see, we finally switched to Invision Board 1.2. The reasons we did the switch is because phpBB was too buggy and didn't have as much features as Invisions has (You should check it out!).

First of all, I will advice you to read the Help Page. There are some slight differences between the forum software (i.e. the URL-Links has to be caps and some pictures and links will not work).

What still has to be done and won't work until it is fixed:
- Smileys ( the :onfire: smiley isn't in this software. I will have to convert them)
Fixed

- Old links (to topics, posts or people). phpBB uses other link methods than Invision. Clicking on old links will give a 404-Page not found. Hope to fix this within a few hours :)
Fixed

- Customizable looks. Why not let you decide the skin.. PM me if you find a neat skin that's available for Invision Board 1.2.

- New rank images
Fixed
That's all. I hope that you will have the same great time as on the phpBB forum and if you have any problems, check forum problems :) :ph34r:
