Yes it can be changed to a point - the software is template or theme based - change the theme and the whole site instantly changes its look.

I agree that I prefer full width template- unfortunately there isn't a nice looking one at the moment.

This is the best one and I'm not sure if users can set their own like the old site - I'll look into it.



There is no information in the site currently as I'm loading up the various components and modules - I need to save the database with the menus etc in place but without the content otherwise I lose the components each time I restore the database when proacticing content transfer.....



Each evening I'll leave the site full of content so's we can all test it during the day....

Hi Guys,



Got really hacked off last night - couldn't get anything right !!

Only had a short time to play today but a bit of research payed off. The we_blink_s software I was going to use didn't allow sub categories or users to submit - I've found some that does both.

I had to rewrite my _script_ but I think we're better off. It's very fresh so may be a little buggy but should be the right answer in the long run.



I'm working on the forum posts - they need stripping of all the bbcode that the old forum uses....



I'm getting some of the fron page modules up there now and sorting the layout a little.



my 'to do' list is on my pad at home and staying there as it's too long to type !



All info wil be updated for you to play with tomorrow



for those who can't find the admin side as the link is removed from the front page..



it's here

I've noticed in the logs that some don't have names next to them.

I think this is because I've left the 'fullname' blank in the user table if people haven't entered a fullname.

I think I'm going to add another sql query that puts the username into the fullname wherever it's currently blank.

The name picker on the PM page needs to be in alphabetical order and in several places (content displays, log displays) things need sorting in alphabetical or date order.

Dates are often in the wrong format as well......

Hey!!, it looks really good. It is a lot easiar to navegate than the current one. I'm not too familiar with all the terminology and the technical stuff but, if you want us to check things once you have put them together I can do that.

I think it is a good idea to test it first. What about having a transitional period before changing; maybe a link in the current website once you are happy with the new one.

I'm going to sound like a girl but, the background looks a bit too white. Are you going to change the background colours?
