thanks ubi and barry for the reply and the tips i will try to get to grips with it all, im not the brightest spark when it comes to anything computer related and thats why i loved the old forum so much because everything was very easy to see and understand and as soon as i sign in i would see a whole list of threads that interest me. The forum dose seem a bit better today and i`ll try to get used to using bookmarks and favourates etc

No problem Smeg, we're all trying to learn a new system (except those used to VBulletin already!), so its bound to be difficult at first. At least you know where your track thread is now! Thats a start right? lol Feel free to ask for any help and I'll do my best, but I'm learning myself so I may have to go investigate answers before having them to supply! :P

thanks Bazza im sure we`ll all get used to the change eventually, i do miss the old colours though and even the colour coded names and writing etc maybe we`ll see something similar here soon (inserts praying smiley that we also used to have lol)

Well, we will just have to wait and see what can/will be done about all that I guess.

Yeah man, i'd be totally down to help on anything i can on this one, we need a fan site!

We totally encourage fans to do this. There was nothing stopping you before. I actually started in the industry by blogging and doing interviews for fansites. But, just know, this will be the official forums. Official updates, communication, and feedback will be posted/collected on these forums.

Hi, I'm DJ 2wItchy, I'm new to the forums currently with 3 posts yay, I like to make tracks on trials :P

Jokes aside. Barry's right. Seriously guys just give it sometime to adapt, this is super new for all of us from the old forums so obviously we are all going to feel like noobs on where everything is. we ain't gonna be experts on knowing how to do everything straight away lol. Just give it time Johkr has said (quite a lot of times now) there is still a lot of work getting done on the new forums. Please, just don't be so quick to judge.

OMG Twitchy. LOL.

No problem, Smeghead89. I have grown to love vBulletin over the years. I use it for all my past forums when working on a fansite or for media or for other gaming companies. It honestly took me about a month to adjust to the old RedLynx phpBB forums. I'm not sure how many people realize just how limiting those forums were from a moderators perspective.

At least on my screen, the text font along with the light background is a pain to my eyes. An option to switch the tone / change the font would be good. To whine further I think the choise of background is waaay too prominent. It's really distracting.
