Looks good so far, I did notice in the User CP when I tried to edit my sig, or edit my avatar it came up with a "You have been banned forever" type page.
gamesandgrub.blogspot.com - My blog about boardgames, and sometimes food.
roomwithaviewmaster.tumblr.com - My blog about Viewmaster collecting
I get this message anywhere in the user control panel:
You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
Also, please tell me there's going to be a way to modify the color scheme soon - the colors are wreaking havoc on my eyes. I would suggest fixing the blue links on the red backgrounds - it's hard to read.
It's just this shade of red that kills my eyes... but otherwise no issues yet, though I haven't tried to edit my sig yet.
Egbert, I miss you...
Blue links changed to white.
I tried moving stuff around. Are you still coming up as 'banned?'
The colors look fine to me, but I do have one minor quibble:
Will avatars and sig pics return in the future? Or did they get axed?
Welcome back DP!
Waa! We're back!
Whereas phpBB navigated itself around my overflowing PM inbox and deleted old messages as necessary, this board is refusing to let me send anything until I delete stuff manually. It seems someone else already noticed this.
(And is there no equivalent of "View your posts" anymore?)

The editing the sig bit is working now, I can't find a way to add an avatar, but I am not coming up as banned anymore.

The smilies seem to be wrecking havoc with the BBCode (see mine for example).
"I am a cipher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce."
Same with me Gapporin.

Also, the icons in the Private Message Inbox seem to be reversed (an unread icon for a read message, and vice versa).
"I am a cipher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce."
Fixed the BBCode issues. If you want the emoticon, you must type : - / instead of :/ now.
Fixed the img tag.
Fixed the avatar settings (I think)
Set signature permissions (1000 characters with BBCode, 500 without, 4 lines, and a max of 4 images).
If you want to view your posts, select your control panel and view subscribed posts. The default settings are 'subscribe without notifying.' This should place your posts in that subscription place, but not email you when you get a reply. You can change these settings in your control panel if you would like.
When the board came back last week or whenever, I had sent some PM's out to people (can't remember who), and I had some replies back, indicated as 2 new messages. Well, when I logged on today, the only new message I had in my inbox was from 3 weeks ago, and it was one that I had already read. Is there anyway to backtrack and figure out who PM'ed me?
Woot good to be back working now : - )
zomg I have a sig
I'm glad the boards are back up and running. Thanks for all the hard work you must be doing to make this happen.
And, not to pile on, but when you can get to it I'd like an option for an alternative color scheme as well. Something a little less aggressive would be nice. (I can see it now - the only alternative offered will be a soft, pastel, lavender and pink option, and it will be 'credited' to me....)
Wiiiiii!! We're back! It only took 10 minutes to change all my settings back to where I wanted them and upload my avatar so there's no complaint there. Only question I have is with the color scheme. Any way we can change it? For the places I read the site from it can hurt the eyes over time. Other than that it's looking great and liking it. Welcome back DP!

I'm happy DP's back. A few things though. This red is very harsh, I dunno if it's the same red as the style last week's but for some reason I liked that red; this one just hurts my eyes.
I might be the only one, but I loved last week's brief look. I have to admit preferring that look over this one or the old one, but those are just my 2 cents.
Now to bigger matters at hand:
You are still limited to 4 images per post. Is this permanent, and if so, why such the strict low count? 4 is too low... at least it should be 10.
Other than that, glad DP's back
