Just wanted to welcome everyone to the new website and let you know that we are working on fixing up little little problems/issues to get everything runing smoothly.

If you have any problem please reply to this post and we will get back to you. Until then, please be patient while we attend to minor problems.

I will also be making a post outlining all the new features so stat tuned!

Thanks for the comments guys.

If you go to the main page http://www.ozhonda.com on the first box on the right hand side (under your avatar pic) is a link to your PM box.

I will try and put up a link on the top navigation bar to make things easier.

To go to your PM boxes.... click on the HOME link and the look on the right hand side of the main page.

Dont worry, I am going to put the Private Messages box up the top where control panel and logout is etc. very soon.

you should also get a popup window that appears when you first come to the website... thats also has access to your PM box aswell as your IM box and buddy list etc.

I like the new design!

I changed it for all users.....however I think it only applies to new users who signup.

To disable it:
1. Simply goto the main page (so it pops up)
2. Then there is an Icon called "Edit Prillian Preferences" (The second Icon on the second row). Looks like this --> http://www.ozhonda.com/templates/fisubsilver/images/prill_jar.png Click it
3. Scroll down and there is an option called "Launch client when you visit forum index: ". Change that option to "No"

what page did you open to get that html?

usually that happens if the page wasnt loaded correctly through your internet connection.

Good new look!

An excellent job well done...! :)

Rowie

the site is still in the early stages. with lots more features. the look of the site will be slowly changing every day.

Rowie
09-07-2004, 04:08 PM
also... anyone with a link in there signature to the old forum... you will have to redo the link, because the forums location has changed.

say for example you had: http://www.ozhonda.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7222

the new link will be: http://www.ozhonda.com/viewtopic.php?t=7222

so its the same, but get rid of forums/ after the ozhonda link.

09-07-2004, 04:37 PM
i'm sorry, this is good and all. BUT

i mean i could have had this phpBB portal installed, working and completely redesigned custom to OzHonda within 48 hours ...

apologies if what i am saying is a bit rash, not saying its BAD, its good, just saying ... well ... it could be better

oh and also, its not so "blonde" friendly ... little kimbi is going to have some trouble operating it ;) :lol:

Rowie
09-07-2004, 04:49 PM
just added private message link on the main forum page... its RED, so you shouldnt have any trouble seeing it

Rowie
09-07-2004, 04:51 PM
mitch... if you didnt notice... its only been just over 12 hours since it was installed not 48,... give us a brek huh!! We do have normal jobs, and we arent here 24/7.

Rowie
09-07-2004, 04:56 PM
the site is uploaded and working mitch. its just content and a few teething problems with the setup we have to sort out. and theres not much we can do if wynode isnt online, because he is the only one with full admin rights.

Copied PA? There are hundreds of other site out there witha Portal!?!?

Mitch M, I have NFI what you are getting at.

Guys/girls there are a few nagging problems but we WILL take care of them.

If you have a problem then post it here.....do NOT PM a mod/admin as they are busy as it is!

any chance you could add the oldschool subSilver template back so u can have the choice to toggle between the 2

Control Panel --> Preferences --> Board Style

i preferred the old template

cheers

Rowie
09-07-2004, 07:42 PM
we will be adding more templates after we have the initial setup sorted out and everyone is used to it.

The site is good mate, I know how hard it is to change the phpBB systems first hand ..... I am about to finish one off myself. Fully customized and integrated ... too many hours work!

What's actually making the site slow for some people? Is it where it's hosted?

Yeah thanks I already said that, check 2nd post on this page :roll: What I ment is like the admin "badge" but it saying "OzHonda Supporter" just adding a custom title saying that well anybody could do that and it not being true.......cmon Win there must be something special for us dedicated people who actually have supported this site?? like I said maybe a custom "badge" above our avatar :wink:
