Note that there's a few different themes too.  We stuck with one that looks like the old board, but if you are adventurous, there are a couple of others.  There's previews below.

(http://forum.boinc-australia.net/Themes/default/images/thumbnail.gif)  and (http://forum.boinc-australia.net/Themes/classic/images/thumbnail.gif)

To change the layout for your account:
1. Go to your profile  (http://forum.boinc-australia.net/index.php?action=profile)
2. Select Look and Layout Preferences from the menu on the left
3. Near the top of the page, you should see "Current Theme: Forum or Board Default (change)" - click on change
4. Make your selections and enjoy!

Dunno if our web host would be interested, but there are many other themes - maybe we could add a few more for variety :D

Actually Pete your old account is still there, just under the name of Evil Tenobi since this backup came from before you changed it.

And it is good to already see 10 members on line at the same time.  :rocks

Great work Wang Solutions, Agent 47, Webmaster Yoda, and anyone else working behind the scenes.  I really enjoy my occasional dose of boinc forum :D

One question - my user info says I have 3 messages but I can't see any in In or Outbox.  Is that just a relic from the backup?  It doesn't worry me, just curious.
Title: Re: Welcome to the forum!
Post by: Wang Solutions on January 31, 2009, 09:07:53 PM
It probably means that you had three before and that was recorded in one table, but the messages themselves might not have been present in the backup file (being near the end of the alphabet yours might have not made it into the back up). But I will check the database in case it is just a linkage issue.

Now that we have a new forum, perhaps it might be time to find a New Team Logo as well.  I am not much of an Artist but here is a simple example of what I am thinking of:

Can't see your pictures but...

I'm always open for suggestions about the logo.  I actually made some myself and used them in the forum headers for SOME of the alternate themes.  Have attached some of the images

Now that is getting a bit more artistic than mine Yoda.  You probably did not see my pictures because there wasn't any at the time you looked.  I had some trouble with the location and I was actually modifying it when you looked.  It is there now I hope but it is only a simple logo just trying to stay with the colours  in the top part of the forum.

*ONYX looks in Tixx's direction .....*

if its some super funky, or super simple, or super tech looking logo ..... I am sure Tixx will be able to whip up something fantastic ....

If he is up for it of course  :rofl:
