Welcome to the new magicforum!

Hello everyone!

If you can read this message, then that means our move from the old phpBB3 system to SMF Boards was successful!

Do note some features are not updated yet (board icons, rank images, some overall styling, etc) and some things might not be working as smooth as they should be, so please let us know so we can fix this!

Without for ado, welcome back and discuss the magic!

Wow. I haven't visited the forums in a few months. I didn't expect to come back to find it's completely changed just now. XD

Was phpBB causing server problems?

This is the first time we're actually doing a forum change.

SwipatronSparks · September 02, 2013, 03:08:01 PM

Good to be back.... And i guess i am going to be the first to say i dont like it

bad-pink-tink · September 02, 2013, 03:36:43 PM

wow that was a surprise, logged in today and all had changed.

I run my own SMF forum so welcome to the SMF family

SMF is a much better software than the old phBB3 system[size=78%]. [/size]When you change to SMF you get a brand new clean installation, which means you lose all customization and adds which were installed on the old phBB3 system. There is huge amount of customization available for SMF, but it takes time to figure out what you want to change and what you want to add.

mickeyspal · September 02, 2013, 05:27:24 PM

So far so good, I look forward to seeing all the new changes

Glad to hear there's more SMFers on the boards

I think it seems a lot snappier now

I think it looks great! But, as you already mentioned, the images in the signature don't seem to work.

Ravenseye · September 03, 2013, 08:58:34 AM

Hmmm i'm not liking it too much so far. It has a more 'basic' look and my timer isnt showing in posts, just as i'm getting to the final days before my trip, the exact time I get excited to see the dwindling days to wait!

Kristof · September 03, 2013, 09:19:24 AM

Again, the final touches like icons and theming enhancements are not done yet!

And please don't forget moving to SMF means we'll put less stress on the server, a server we are using FOR FREE offered by Trekkie101.

I'm very proud that even after upgrading to a better and much more stable server in the UK, we can still offer magicforum without ads, paid subscriptions or sponsor buttons.
