You know you are far more than welcome.

OK, Scheduled Maintenance works, I'll probably set that up for Saturday nights warning about Sunday morning maintenance. At this point, our database is still so small that it doesn't take a lot of time to make backups, but we'll grow as the '20s roll on down the road.

Not sure if it is a complaint/suggestion, but I won't regard the restoration of Fogbow as complete as long as I regularly see

Good plan, thanks. :whistle:

That happened because back in February people were creating new topics before I figured out how I wanted to organize them. But yeah, time to reshuffle.

Oh man, mass reorganization in progress, this will take a while but I think it will be an improvement. You have no idea how much it pleases me to move Boobert and Empty Gee and Matt Gaetz into my new forum, Worst of the Right-Wing Pieholes. :biggrin:

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Foggy for all that he does in keeping this forum up, running, and on track. I'd be lost without it.

I'd like to preset you with this golden rooster Foggy:

Yours IRL for only $27.25 at Walmart.

Now I'll tell ya, don't go looking for this by googling "golden cock," you'll get all kinds of stuff to wade through. Almost as bad as that time I had two pieces of latex to glue together and I googled "latex bondage" :eek:

The X-Creamy board style - a perennial annual ridonkulous favorite - has been updated, from version 1.2.5 (our version) to version 1.2.6.

After the update, I'ma look at improvements - the logo is too big, I don't know what the bar that says "Fogbow" is all about, but I can fix those things.

Yeah, probably wait until morning when fewer people are online ...
Edit: Also downloaded updated versions of Carbon and ProSilver Special Edition, will install those too.

As I understand it, Special Edition is narrower, doesn't fill your enormous monitor from side to side, easier to read.

Might also be different icons or something. You could look at the phpbb.com website.

Anyway, I upgraded X-Creamy, ProSilver Special Edition, and Carbon board styles this morning. Moving on ...

If you used any of those, you probably got switched to Prosilver when I upgraded. Now you can switch back. If you use one of these and see a Fogbow logo, hit CTRL + F5 to reload.

Gosh, Foggy -- you''ve fiddling with the knobs again and wacked my theme and I can't find a suitable replacement -- they are too "bright".

Here, try Hexagon. Black as night. It has a bunch of options, I'll work on 'em someday.

Dunno about that. width looks same to me. don't see no differnt icons. all looks the same.

Edit. OK after looking at your link (below), Foggy, its got rounded corners and is supposed to be more grey. meh. x-creamy sux IMHO. Graandview is wider. I might stick with that for a while.
