    Hi,

    Server backup (9 GB) is completed.

    After that I installed the forum software on a new, fresh Debian system with the latest security updates. Please report any error- messages, database error- messages, missing links and so on

    I'm trying to fix that as soon as possible.

    By upgrading to the latest vbulletin version i got an error message randomly. Some database table is not existing (a "long" time) but this will be investigated by the vbulletin support team!

    Stay tuned!

    steve

              The fairly obvious feature that we have lost in this vbulletin is any indication of what the forum is about. Only on the first page does it even mention Irfanview.
              Is it possible to have a banner again on each page to show those less familiar with the site that this is the Irfanview forum?

                Hi,

                Matteo and me are working on a new design for the forum + a better logo!

                  That's fine!

                  Please remember also a request from german user Clara long time ago, which I've forwarded to you!

                    Hi,

                    at the moment I'm using the IrfanView logo from the official IrfanView site -> temporarily!

                    I'm going to look for a new "favicon" now!

                      Hi again,

                      I changed the favicon now: Please clear your browser cache and you should see it!

                        What I see now is a huge masthead taking up 140 vertical pixels of the web page. Definitely needs something much smaller or at least not so high. There is room there for a 60 pixel high image.

                            I've been having problems with the forum for quite a while. It displays wrong a lot of the time, and not only in one browser but several. Today I clicked on a thread and several times got a message about "no thread selected." I used the "newest post" link and got in anyway, and now the thread is working either way. Since I clear my cache and cookies fairly often and that makes little or no difference, I believe that the forum might be slightly unwell. Has anyone else seen odd symptoms?
                            Its: Belongs to "It"
                            It's: Shortened form of "It is"
                            ---------------------
                            Lose: Fail to keep
                            Loose: Not tight

                            ---------------------
