Simple Match Fishing Forum

I have locked the old thread and started a new one for this Forum.

There will obviously be lots of changes and things to update as not everything could be migrated over.
Personal messages could not be migrated but you can still access them on the old forum, there is a link at the top of the Board Index. (not live yet)

I need to update people's user groups i.e HanKat Crony, Cashmores etc You can apply to join groups in your Control Panel also, that would help out a lot.
Your username on here might not match what it was on the old forum. The forum name here is what your old User ID used to be on the old forum.
Click View Profile to see what yours was. That is the name you will need to login with first time on here until you change it. That is Joffs....

You can go to your control panel and change it to whatever you want anyway.

Whilst in your control panel you can change the Forum style in Board Preferences. There is only one in there atm that makes the forums look like facebook but I will be adding more. Dark themes, light themes etc.

I will continue to update stuff and keep you posted.
If you have any questions please ask

It is done.
I am editing a lot of stuff at the minute.
Should be live later on today or tomorrow night.

To login you will need your username and email address.
Click login and then click 'Forgotten Password'
Fill in username and email.
A new password will be sent. Follow the instructions in the email.
After you can of course change this password yourself via the profile page when you have logged in.

They are installing a tool so I can send out new passwords for everyone

Will update again soon.

Had to go back for now sorry. This is a pain in the wobbly cheeks rage rage rage

You need to get your User ID and email address from the old forum then use the Forgotten Password link on this new site. Use the User ID in Username.
You will then get a email with instructions.

Added the custom fields for Team and Sponsor so you can add those again in your profile if you wish.
Example under this avatar

If you go to User control Panel then Profile then Edit Avatar then select Gallery Avatar.
All the old user avatars are in there. Just select yours.
I have been changing a few as I go along but I have lots to do

Added a Aluminium theme. You can select it from your User Control Panel if you want to use it.
Looks a lot nicer than the screenshot by the way.

Quick reply added back with the ability of being able to highlight and quote text from any post.

There is a bug at the moment when trying to upload a Avatar from a mobile device and some PC's.
You will get an error. Start a new topic in here and attach the picture you want as your avatar and I will sort it for you.

Changed the number of failed password attempts from 5 to 10..
Seem's 5 is not enough to remember your password for some people

Added a re direct so all simplematchfishing.co.uk or .uk traffic comes here now rather than the old site. You can still access the old site via the link at the top of the Board Index.

For this site, the /forum2/ has not changed yet. I will leave that for a while yet. It will change to /forum/
For the old site, it remains /forum/ but will be changing to /forumold/ when I make the switch over.

Also added a Theme called 'Basic' which you can change too here http://simplematchfishing.co.uk/forum2/ucp.php?i=179
Its a full width template and it looks great on my phone as well as on the big pc screen. Very well made indeed.
I am trying to find a good dark theme also.

If you don't like the theme you can always change it back to default which is prosilver.

A few screen shots off my phone using 'Basic' theme. Posted using my phone. Mobile version is great.

Also you can drag and drop files in to the reply box. nice feature.
Also adds the ability to click on the posters name and reply to a topic via pm.

Simple, testing refer to username

Added 'Personal Text' back.
It used to be on the old site. You can add what you want and it will appear under your avatar (if you have one) or name
It can be edited here.... http://simplematchfishing.co.uk/forum2/ucp.php?i=178

The new site is in it's final place now

index.php

You can add it to bookmarks as I won't be changing it again now.

The old forum is at http://simplematchfishing.co.uk/forumold/YaBB.pl

Updated a new sitemap to google last night so searches from google and bing etc come here. Site links will take some time to regenerate.
If you come from google etc you might get a "GET /YaBB.pl" error. Just click 'Board Index' and carry on

Simple, when sending a pm they sit in outbox and don't show in sent folder
Have they gone or am I doing something wrong?

Yeah they stay there until they are opened by the other person... In this time you can edit the PM if you wish before they open it
