Board News week 27, 21st to the 27th of August


Banners:

The Banners are up! Every week the banners that didn’t win will take over the last available slot, the winning ones will remain fixed in place until the next vote. All the talk from the last comp is in the link below.

With a bit of luck this round of banners would have inspired you to design some more, so you know the drill post them to MADDY. There is a slight potential change… the banners may have to be 4 times as big… your free to wait until after the poll (this weeks) or send some in that your be willing to alter etc


Board Data

Up shortly, please add any comments about them, if you have "reasons" why posts are as they are, or if you disagree with them.


Lost Area
It’s coming up to that time of year again! Lost is due to hit the American shores in oh about 35 days! So if you have any season two talk, spoilers, shared excitement please post in the season two area, and not one.

Lost Ep S2 first 3
The first 3 eppy titles of the new season of Lost have been added to the drop down menu and now have their respective forums, so post in them when you have some specific eppy talk. :thank1:

Recruitment

More members are always nice I think, it allows for more traffic and therefore more things to talk about. If you have any ideas of how to either attract more people here or ways to advertise the board, please feel free to post them here so we can discuss them or drop me a PM with any ideas you might have. If you need D and F banners or buttons, there are a few in stock (as well as all the banners we have had the last few months use any) alternately if anyone is feeling creative feel free to post buttons in here. The ones we have are here… there are more and if I get the creator wrong! Tell me and I’ll fix it right away.

Upgrade news

As per normal lots of guess work and rumours, but I am unable to confirm anything at this time. The upgrade should allow for some more modifications to the board, and perhaps some of the current ones will no longer be viable. Still have to wait and see.






If you have any suggestions please post them up or PM myself or a moderator.

Thanks very much for reading and being part of D and F. Enjoy your week! :Bounmir:

hey that's weird, I thought I voted "yes sounds cool" but my vote went to "don't mind either way".
I do think that bigger banners and pictures in the backgrounds is a bit too much. It starts to look like a big blur of pictures after a while.

And those buttons are where exactly. The link doesn't work. And I really want one for my LJ. It has to be small though. don't have much space.

ok my computer is officially slow. and D & F is running. and it just takes long to load things.

and i want that blue sploge thing back. what is the skin name.

Hmmm that's odd, it should be under "D and F default" it would seem it's skinned off (wack me now! :red: ) When I get home today I'll try and dig mr flame out.

I've added no new codes to D and F, so the speed of your computer isnt to do with this place... photobucket might have been down... :thinky: tell me again if it doesnt get better.

OK I think it’s fixed…. Give it a shot and report any “bugs” back to me.

Journal Area

The new “Journal” forum located in “YOU” has a password, mainly for your sake and safely. I.e. no random guests who might be spying on you can read about you, naturally they can anyway on My Space and Live journal, but this just adds a layer of security.

The password is in the The Hidey Hole which is available to anyone with 100 posts and above. So just go there to get hold of the password for “Journal”, if you have less than a 100 posts or have forgotten the password for The Hidey Hole and want access to Journal then PM a mod.

Phew that was long winded. Some more finer details are in the “Journal” area, if you decide to investigate.

yeah everything is good now. can't talk. must go to Journal area...

*runs off*

I'm having problems with the fading thingy, I can't get on to one of my other forums from here. I have to close my browser and start again after I've been on here. Stupid thing is, it doesn't affect me going anywhere else.

:( I agree, sorry to say it but its coming off right now! :hee: It just messes with the board too much. :NO:


Some areas just arent pulling their weight, it was to be expected in part. So dont be upset. <lol> All topics have been moved to new homes, nothing has been deleted. (Rolly)
