Hey guys, welcome back to the forum! We had had some changes. As you can see the forum was moved to syzygynetwork.com and was adjusted. The database backup i had to restore from was very corrupted so we lost some things, nothing to major:

- Loss of the last 8 months of PM messages
- 3 of the new public section that dave created a month or 2 ago.
- Forum structure reverted back to how it looked 2 months ago
- Loss uploaded avatars loaded after January 2010
- Status updates on sidebar are from January 2010
- Gallery and blogs are down, i need to re-install those.

That all said, we were able to retain all the posts and all members, which is the important thing. I have also upgraded the baord to the latest version 3.1.2. While I was at it re-did the skin a little bit (colors changes) to start to match the new upcoming site, and of course the new logo. I also added second skin called syzygy2, you can pick it using the skin selector at the bottom left, It is a nice light skin that i'm sure many of you willl like.


It was a long hard process to rebuild the database (like brain surgery LOl) but we made out ok.

So welcome back! -Tom

Hey, that is a nice skin! Can we change it to the default and then let people choose the darker one if they like?

[Dave]

Holy cow, my posts are under 1,000 now! They dropped quite a bit when we went from SFS to Syzygy, but they were higher than this even back then. Weird!

Good to be back, I hate the withdrawal and disruption of my OCD routine.
Also good that loss of posts was rather minimal.
Like the skin, easy on my old eyes.

I can do that but the forum won't match the site when guests look at it. Your the boss Let me know and i will do it.

As for the post, I had the forum do a post count and sync so that is why you may see a drop. The only posts that were lost would be the one you made in the 3 public sections you creted a couple months ago.

Well I have this forum and my GBBs forum at the new 3.1.2. level, need to bring TU up to it as well.

Yeah, me too!

[Alain De Mol]

I like the new skin too. Simple.

[cutechick2009]

I do like the skin but Sunshine can't see it.

[Dave]

She can't see which one? The dark one or the light one?

[Graham]

I can't see the light one. I can see the dark one okay though.

[Dave]

I like the light one. We've been looking at dark for years here, so I felt like a change.

[Christine G. Roberts]

I'm having trouble seeing this one. It's lighter than the other one, but still dark for me. Last time I was able to change it to a lighter one for me. Now I don't see any choice. Can I have a choice? I've been good.

[Dave]

I'm still not sure what you mean by "This one." Down in the bottom corner, do you see "syzygy1" or "syzygy2?"


Syzygy1 has a dark background with light colors, while syzygy2 has a white background with dark letters. I'm using syzygy2.

[Newstar]

I haven't checked with the new lap top yet, but on this old computer using Firefox I can't find a choice between Syzygy 1 and 2. The forum appears dark grey with light letters for me. I like it and can read it fine, but my eyes are fine (with glasses).

[Christine G. Roberts]

Ok I finally got it where I can read this stuff. What happened to the disability act? lol

[Tom]

There are 3 skins, did you try the IP Board skin? That is the one that ships with the software. The board has always had that skin to as a choice. This upgraded board also has a built in Mobile skin that is supose to work automatically with mobile phones.

I went the permissions and noticed that only admins had rights to the other skins, so fixed it so all groups can see all 4 skins on the pull down menu below.

[Jaydin]

I'm just thrilled that I found my way here without any trouble!
I actually think that I like the darker skin best.

[Dave]

Technically, I like the darker one better too, but the lighter one is less of a strain for me to read, so I keep it on there.
