Re: PLEASE READ: New Punktastic to launch TOMORROW

Postby Tom Aylott » Wed Apr 04, 2012 9:44 pm

I haven't looked for ages because I was waiting to upgrade and it was a ballache before. Like I said. It's in the pipeline.

Not making excuses, just know its on the way if it's at all possible...

Can we also drop the regional sub-forums from the gigs forum? It's no coincidence that people use those forums less and less since it stopped being one place to read about ALL UK gigs easily.


Agree 100%.

The UK is small enough, a lot of people go to gigs all over the country.

Looking forward massively to the mobile section improvements. Most of my PT reading is done on my iPhone now anyway.

And I wasn't having a dig, just asking. If its under control, fair enough.

UPDATE: we've now re-launched the main site and we're on a brand new server here with the forums too, so hopefully you should notice a speed increase. We've taken down the mobile version of the forums temporarily while we look into a much better mobile platform for it - is definitely our next big priority. The reason it's been taken down is cus it was so terrible and we know we can do loads better!

Can I be a member of "The Team" please? I think it'd look rad if the contributors had their Twitter handles next to their name too, with their permission obv. Just a suggestion.

I haven't done any forum mods with the new software yet and there were a few boys already signed up so it might still happen for a bit.

Open to suggestions for forum mobile software (no apps). Looking for this today.

And yes, ollie, i'll add you and try to work out everyone's twitter names.

i've found the anti spambot menu in the new admin control panel. reCaptcha fully installed so hopefully new spambot sign ups will be prevented.

this spambot hell may be coming to an end, guys.

For what it's worth, it's nice and slick, and much faster. It's just that horrible title font that is shit, everything else is bang on.

For the record, the font is fine for me. It reminds a little of bit of Mitch Clem's cartoony writing style.

There hasn't been a new spambot since this morning, so they must be old ones that have managed to go undetected.

Soon. I'm having a family weekend so I'll decide and announce on Tuesday. I would open the board name change things for 24 hours but we're gonna do a thread where people request and we'll do it manually.
