Looks good Keith - e-mails come through pretty much instantly, seems to run fast.

Can we have a nice BSAC logo at the top?

I'll dig out my old script for converting the old forums to vB format - make sure its all working ok still. To do the conversion all I need is the old forum files in a zip or something - if you can stick them on a bit of webspace somewhere that'd be easiest I think, my e-mail is all a bit temperamental with big files (over 10MB) which I assume the old forums will be! Obviously just whenever you like and are ready for them - if you want to try one full forum as a test then we can copy the whole lot over once the old forums close?

Not sure if you've got a "to do" list somewhere, but just a couple of other things I noticed:

- The "Welcome to Forums" e-mail should probably be customised to BSAC?

- If avatars are disabled is it possible to hide the option in the UserCP? Just a bit funny having the option kind of there but then not having the option - you'll probably get people asking otherwise.

Sorry one last thing - the thing at the bottom where you change styles is a bit broke. I managed to change it to WinXP (I think when i used the scroll wheel on my mouse it kind of got changed) but when i try to change back to the default I get a javascript error.

Help, i'm stuck with XP - its UGLY!!! :(

OK, OK... I've completely trashed the XP style, I think it may have been responsible (the 'change style' bug you mentioned) for a major problem we had this eve with Apache.

Please bear in mind that I've done virtually nothing configuration wise at the time of posting this:)

Logo's : I'll dig out the one we were using before.

Avators : Didn't know they were off - turn them on by all means David.

Welcome Email : Be my quest :) I think it's all done with phrases.

Old Forums : I'll give you a shout Dave, we'll start with a small amount of test data but when we cut over we'll do a server transfer of all the old stuff for you.
