ANNOUNCEMENT Major changes to the forums coming soon! *UPDATED April 5, 2011*

[Jay Kae]

so be warned lol .. seriously though, there will be a lot of changes in the next fortnight, so please be patient as I am working on the forums and the changes to it.

April 2, 2011 -- Expect forums outages as of April 4th

April 5, 2011 -- After sandboxing the changes to the forums, nothing was really standing out to be a problem, after running the changes on the live forums this morning a flaw was discovered and I have to go back to the drawing board.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

and ?? can you unveil something for us mere mortals 

[Jay Kae]

No, not at this current stage Wolter Too early in the piece yet but I can tell you, it is quite a change

[learjet3]

Looking forward to it.

Can you add the feature that sends a shock through the keyboard whenever it detects someone's foot is about to be inserted in their mouth as well Jay?

Looking forward to the changes, as long as my Crackberry can still browse in mobile mode.

Mmm, I could use this at times, during my frequent bouts of, well, pediphagia shall we say 

It brings to mind this xkcd comic from a while back...

Whatever the changes, I've no doubt that The Board will be a better place for them.  'Sides . . . we get to see and play with shiny-new thingies and gizmahtchies  .

The first change you'll probably notice is Jay's title changing from 'Administrator' to 'Overlord'.
