Welcome back amiga.org

Thanks to Wayne, Karlos and everyone else involved in making the transition so smooth. Amiga.org is better than ever now!

New avatar to celebrate, featuring my new and improved longer hair :D

I second that.

The loss of Amiga.org's photo Album is a big loss to me. I do hope the photo data and comments were kept and can be preserved in some way.

Also the lack of an old->new URL redirector is unfortunate. A lot of great links to amazing Amiga.org threads are now dead :(

I think that could be fixed to some extent with mod_rewrite magic.

Yes the loss of the photo gallery is a shame, but I believe the data are backed up so hopefully it can either be migrated to the new system in its entirety, or made available for viewing so people can re-post their own photos in the new system, assuming there's a gallery add-on for VBulletin.

Fortunately we got, (on AmigaOS4 and Morphos) a CSS capable browser, otherwise with IB and such it would be a mess.

Anyway good looking new layout :-)

Just worked out how to get networking running in E-UAE. The standard version looks pretty nasty. I didn't test any functionality. I'm posting this now in iBrowse using the mobile skin. Searching, viewing and replying to threads seems to work perfectly. It's also really quick, though that's in UAE, but it's bound to be quicker even than the old a.org since the mobile version is so lo-fi.

Edit - quotes aren't formatted in the mobile version, so they appear as part of the main text of the reply. Perhaps quotes could be italicised in the mobile skin to make it more obvious that they are separate from the reply?

I didn't do anything major, really. And what I did do was only possible thanks to Wayne sending me the pm database structures for both systems and some sample data (my own messages, nobody panic) from each one. He didn't have to expend the effort to do that really, considering how much else there was to do.

I knew you'd find your Avatar Graveyard useful. You used to have link to it in your sig. :)

No. The "syntax" for smileys in this forum is different, and most of the old ones are gone :(
