FlameFans.com Maintenance

So, I decided to do maintenance without notifying you guys. I was done in record time, so I think you'll get over it.

Here's what I did:

- Upgraded the board to the latest version of phpBB.
- Upgraded our spam/bot protection by several versions.
- Fixed the login/cookie issue. You should only have to login once now. (At least I think I fixed it. :?:)
- Killed FlameFans.info for now.

If anything is broken/not working, do let me know.

Edit: I am aware that some user's avatars aren't showing up. I'm working on it.

Edit 2: Avatars should be fixed now.

Thanks, Scorcho. One question, though--will we ever get a "chat" feature like some message boards have?

We've talked about a chat feature in the past, but with the ease of forming a chat room in all of the free instant messaging programs that almost everyone is using these days, it didn't seem like anyone would really use it.

I think that was the worst picture ever on this board. And we had to look at the Hulkster's kid once.

THanks so much for all the fixes! :)

Is there a chance you'll offer a different skin for those of us who don't see as well? :oops: :oops:

I'll see what I can do about that. Is there anything in particular about this one that you find difficult? I'm just asking so I can be sure not to repeat it when I find another skin.
