Hi,

The forum upgrade has been completed. If you find any problems with the new version, please report them in this thread so we can investigate them.

Thanks and enjoy the new forums!

Please note that we have an outstanding issue with timzones. If you need to fix it temporarily, you can go into your control panel and adjust the offset manually (or try the 'auto-detect' option).

We are looking into this and will fix it when we can.

Thanks for all your hard work Tom!  I fear we will never be able to let you know just how much we appreciate your efforts here in keeping things ticking along behind the scenes :)

I've had a fiddle with the timezones to see if we can get them back on track.  This post is in part a test to see if I set correctly to GMT - meaning everyone not on GMT will need to adjust accordingly as per Tom's instructions above.

Another glitch: If you compose a sentence in Quick Reply that goes past the end of the compose box, the sentence just disappears off the edge of the screen and doesn't autowrap to a new line until a number of words have been added.  Only in Quick Reply, not in reply.

In the first sentence here the sentence disappeared at the word "new" and reappeared on the new line at the word "number"

It's small on my screen too...there is empty space on the side of the site too, it doesn't fit my widescreen.

Oh, and no quote selected?  I can only quote a whole post.

Both of these are concerns of mine too!

CTRL+ should make your text size bigger, if that helps :)
