This Forum has been upgraded to SMF 2.0 RC1.

There are ALOT of errors, themes and mods that need to be installed or fixed. I will hopfully have to forum back to normal by the end of the week as right now it is a mess .

We also had to change portal which I think is a bit annoying as in my opinion this new portal is not as good. I had to change portal as the old one was not compatible with 2.0 RC1.

The new features of SMF 2.0 are:

• Database abstraction - with support for PostgreSQL and SQLite planned alongside that of MySQL.
• Automatic installation of packages into themes other than just the default.
• Email templates to simplify customization of forum emails.
• Moderation center including post, topic and attachment moderation - to allow approving of user content before it is made public.
• User warning system.
• Additional group functionally including group moderators and requestable/free assignable groups.
• WYSIWYG editor to provide an intuitive user interface to those users not familiar with BBC.
• Permission improvements such as group inheritance and permission profiles to further reduce the complexity of the permissions system.
• File based caching for a performance increase on all forums regardless of whether an accelerator is installed.
• Mail queuing system to stagger the sending of emails to improve

I am creating new theme for this site called White - Blue, this theme will be the same as the Grey - Blue theme just lighter and brighter and will be completed in a few days. The Grey - Blue theme will still be the default theme but you will be able to change to the White - Blue theme using a theme box.

I will post again when the theme is finished.

(Sorry this is taking so long!)

Iplodtouch.com has changed to NightGamer.net although the Iplodtouch.com domain will still work for a while.
I am sorry that we all have to make new accounts again and any previous posts or topics have been deleted. This was because the database messed up.

I hope you like the new site and the new theme.
