The forum upgrade has been completed! We're now using the latest forum software. Many of the improvements are behind the scenes but there are a few on the face. Most notably is the ability to quote multiple people. To do so, simply hit "+ Quote" instead of "Reply." This will hold the post in a queue until you're ready to quote it. When you're ready to reply to all of the quotes, go down to the reply box and hit "Insert Quotes." You can rearrange the quotes in whatever order you want via drag and drop.

There's also now a spoiler button. There's a drop down menu next to the floppy disk. Under there there's a spoiler button.

Most of the rest of the improvements are compatibility based for Windows 8/IE and mobile devices along with a couple of mod additions.

There are a couple things missing at the moment as I ran out of time before Easter lunch/dinner. There's only one updated theme, Union Block Fluid. I was having issues upgrading the rest of the themes but will work on getting them up and running later tonight. There are still some tweaks that need to be made to Block Fluid. Core is a major pain in the ass to update because there's too many variations. I'm reducing it two, just fluid and fixed, just like the rest of the themes. It's just too arduous of a process to update them all. I hope you guys can understand?

There's probably a slew of other tweaks I'll have to make over the next week or so.

The multi-quote and spoiler options are nice. I will be using both of those. Glad things went well. Happy Easter.

Forums look great! It has a very clean look and looks great on my mobile phone and desktop. I appreciate the frequent upgrades so it can keep up with modern technologies unlike other forums that look like are from the 1990's.

I've been changed to the default theme with the white background and I can't select anything else. There is no option available now to change it to fluid. Is this just me ? Am I missing something?
 
Why did my UnionVGF Core Fluid just randomly change from a green color theme to red? :(

Anyway to change it back to green?
 
I believe only the block fluid style has the tools bottom left of the home screen to mod colors.

It's back to the way i want it. But yeah, you're right.

Sorry for the off topic post everyone but my forum viewing is more important than your X1 bashing anyway. :D
 
I am missing the logo and my theme on iOS 5.0

Yes I know iOS 5.0 is dated but for reasons right now I can't upgrade.
