I'll add more as they come to me, but for now how about a
Most Recent Posts
section? There could be a link that displays the recent 50 posts or something.

Well, maybe today is your lucky day? I'm good at this sort of stuff, so I could be a mod, or help you with it.

feel free to help looking through phpbb.com (http://www.phpbb.com), phpBBHacks.com (http://www.phpbbhacks.com) and anywhere else that hosts them. By all means.. If you do, dont bother with anything other than the ones tagged as for 2.0.18

It would be alot easier if you just gave me access to the board, I could do a lot of things fairly quickly.

Not entirely sure i understand you there. If your asking me to give you admin access i cant do that, and to do anything more than moving/deleting/locking/sticking/splitting topics, thats what you need.
Although by default this has very few features admin wise, most additions are mods or hacks, that literally have to be added into the code. Its not as simple as you seem to think

That's strange. I did find what I wanted at the center at the bottom of the page. It is a little difficult to find the features on this board, but they are there.

lol. cheers.
Its annoying how time consuming it all is

There is no mod available to allow this unfortunately :evil:
for now well have to do with what there is. there is a link on the index page, on the top-right, that will allow you to view all posts since your last visit
And giving a cleary non Sith individual Admin power is...dangerous!

lol, i do appreciate his offer, its just phpBB doesnt offer that much unless you modify it, and considering as it was here s a stepping stone ( i am going to be upgrading it to vB soonish) there isnt much point in modding it
Admin, another sugestion.
What about a button to change page on the top of the topic page too?
having to go all the way down to change page is not productive.

Ill look into it

hang on a second... do you mean page jump as in the next/ previous page in a specific thread/topic?
If so, then that is already at both the top and bottom
or do you mean the forum jump/ Jump to: menu?
I know there is one on the bottom of the page, im just asking if there is possible to get one on the top of the page.
Simple as that.
If its not possible, no problem.

Ok, assuming you mean through the pages of the same thread, then its already there.
It is at the top of the page, under the thread title
(top left hand side, whereas the bottom one is the right hand side)
Is that what you meant?

Either way, to be honest with you there is very little point in me modifying anything on this as it stands - the forum software is going to be upgraded in a few weeks time (which wont require another reregister thankfully), so anything i do now i would have to figure out how to do all over again.
Its cool now, thanx,
New remodelation ?
Hope i wont loose my avatar...

No, i have a daily backup of _all_ avatars and the db at the moment.
Nothing will be lost.
that is COOL. after all, for some reason you are Dark Lord of the Sith.

Dear Darth Sidious
I think You have done well with this new board. It is easier to work than the previous board. Of course it means I will have to do my links thing all over again when time permits.

Me too. I'll be going back to school soon and hopefully will learn more web design! (I am kind of a rookie.) I'll bet you have to be doggone good at it to make a message board.

It can be challenging.
thankfully most of the newer ones are relatively easy, but you do havr to have a basic understanding of what your doing, and a basic understanding of the software. tbh its easier than i just made it sound :)

It took me over a year to even begin to master the Adobe Creative Suite.
I see the file list below. This thing takes psd's? Unusual. Photoshop psd's are usually huge fat files and only viewable to those who own Photoshop. Am I assuming correctly that this forum is giving a way to post pictures with your post?
