Forum Upgrade

[Stretford End Arising]

The software the forum uses has undergone an upgrade. I wanted to do the upgrade before the season started, preferably before pre-season but my time has been limited. The style still requires a few tweaks due to time constraints, which will be done in due course.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions.

I like the look of it so far though. It's much fresher and more modern.

 

[IDFD]

Agreed looks good!

 

[kef2138]

Looks really nice! If memory serves me right, XenForo always had pleasant designs, as opposed to vBulletin.

 

[SuperRash]

Yeah looks really sleek and fresh. Nice to have a little refresh every now and again.

 

[O-Dog]

Excellent job! Thank you.

@Stretford End Arising is the owner. He upgrades the software when the latest versions are released. The latest version included the new features.

[Sideshow Bob]

I’ve met @Stretford End Arising on a few occasions for a pint before a game. I think he’s taken a backseat with regard to posting on the forum.

Come on Sideshow, I done my time and put my hands up to the misdemeanour. All joking aside, Its a good little community you keep and I don't want to make anything other than a positive contribution.
I just need managing a wee bit, not banning Im sure you know that I am largely supportive of the forum and the mods here. Fresh start.
Take no notice, I was pished!
