MAJOR update to the boards was created by voyager
Hi guys, as you have probably noticed these boards have lost their IFAS styling, this is because I had to do a HUGE security update to phpBB (the software that drives the boards) and the update over-wrote some of the tempalte files for the site.
Appart from some very minor tweaking (putting our logo on the top left corner and adding a link to the home page to the boards) I'm not going to re-skin the boards yet because I think it would be a waste of my very limmited time. Why would it be a waste? Well, because I'm currently hard at work on a new skin for the site as a whole so I will have to re-skin the boards soon anyhow. I'm sure we can struggle on with the default look for a while!

Hey Bart - thats was your 1000th post! Happy, er, 1000th post
And thanks for the update and your tireless work on keeping these boards going. I'm sure we'll live with it. The new skin wouldn't be a Spice Girls theme would it? Just curious...
Cheers
Dave

Sure, why not share the workload if you're finding it hard to find niches in your limited time! Dave Power has a pretty good skill set...

I'm more than happy to help- in fact I offered already.
Having said that- no point in applying a skin to the boards until we have an idea what the new skin for the entire site looks like. Just to keep it consistent.
