| Erm... Hey, Ricky? Is there some way to make the forums order the topics? The way it's showing up now seems to be somewhat... random. Makes it hard to find anything. |

That was because of the import. New topics (and possibly ones that have been replied to since the upgrade) should sort correctly. I'm sorry about that.

I'm looking for the option right now. I can't seem to find it though. I'll be checking with the developers. |

I agree with him. It is a bit of a mix-up.
 I like the new look and everything else, but navigation is still a problem. Is it possible that the active topics can be displayed on this new BBS?  Another thing that’s troubling me is the fact that pet names are no long displayed.

A temporary solution to the message sorting problem is that if you go to the bottom of the page of the topic, you should see an option for how to sort the messages. I don't know if this will keep it permanent per user, but I'm searching on how to do this through the default settings.
As for the active topics, you should see three links at the top of the main page:
View posts since last visit
View your posts
View unanswered posts
These should be what you're talking about. If not, please let me know.
Also, the ability to change your username has just been enabled. UBB had an extra field for "Display Name As", while phpBB doesn't. So, when you change your username here, it's an actual change in your username. |

Just to let you guys know I'm still trying to figure out the reverse sorting issue. Every phpBB2 board I've seen has it the way it is now, so I'm not sure if it is possible to reverse it. As soon as I find out, I'll notify everyone here.
And, yes, the graphics will be changed soon.  This includes more smilies! |

That seems to be a Netscape problem. When I'm using NS (4.73) I've got the same problem but not with IE.

I can have either me or Maxx edit that post so it is an attachment, instead of an image link, but this problem, like Tygon noted, is with Netscape 4. Older versions of Netscape have always had problems with tables and CSS tags, which are being used a lot in this phpBB2 template. I don't think there is much I can do to fix it, though. |
