If your blue then no dress code apply. That mean your forbidden to wear a dress.
I have blue background and long ears. Is that sufficient?

This is going to take some getting used to. But if it lets people actually join the forums, it's a good change.

JPEG is particularly inefficient for things like line art. PNG is generally better than GIF, that 7.8K GIF compressed to a 4.7K PNG, and both are better for things that can be reduced to a small number of colors and have large areas of flat color than JPEG. Could get it even smaller by going to 16 colors, though there's visible color changes.

phpBB supports attachments, which have the nice benefit of not depending on some outside image service. Disk space used is a downside, of course, though I believe you can set a quota limiting the amount each user can use.

Oh hey nice place! I wanted to initiate talks to get WOS' forums hosted by Relicnews but looks like there's no need after all.

I liked the little yellowish box near new message in the old forum, is there a way to bring that back here?

Also a working "jump to last new message" would be nice. It may already be implanted but i haven found it yet.

In the current skin, there is a little orange triangle to the left of the topic name that takes you to the most recent unread post.

Yess! It works!
I tried to register on the other Forum long time ago, but it failed.
So i kept just lurking. ;)

I follow Outsider since i stumbled over a link years ago, IIRC it was page 7 then (and there was also a sidekickstory...).

And sorry if my engrish is funny, i´m not a native. ;)

P.S.: Maybe this should be moved into a new "newbie"-thread... ;)

Thought I'd try to register and get in. Long-ish lurker on the other Outsider forums. I'm here from RelicNews, due to Outsider's fame in the Studio there. I've sent on some fanart pretty regularly to Arioch here and there. If I come up with anything new, I'll see if I can test out the image posting function here. :D

And because Riess would probably drag me in here sooner rather than later.

Okay, testing this new forum out. Seems pretty solid so far. Better than the old one, in fact. The autopruning of olders threads was a bit annoying there. Especially if I hadn't visited in a while.

It's OK tho, I think...

Display of nested quotes seems to work well. It's only missing alternating BG colors for layers of quotation. This only becomes relevant if deep quoting is used tho.
