    I'm about to start uploading the new version of the site, expect it to be wonky most of the morning.

    Once i'm done, let me know what doesn't work so I can fix it fast.

    The main reason for the theme change is I simply don't have time to recreate the one we use, I picked one I liked and slapped our logo on it, what I will probably do is add a whole bunch of themes and let you pick your own, i'll tell you how. And i'll try to get our theme back together, I think it's one of the best done for web-app, there's just too many darn variables to change now.

    Big new features:
    1. Add your own events to the calendar
    2. Upload files
    3. Random pic on front page
    4. Newsletter - to be written by ZOO
    5. Members, history and meeting pages show up within the regular interface, not from seperate HTML pages
    6. Latest posts now in block on left
    7. Still working on Classifieds

    I've removed the Chat until I can find one that works reliably.

    How goes the computer troubles? I'm only asking because I want to know when the Saber video will be up. People are starting to ask me about it. It seems we're being watched by big brother, 'cause I don't even know some of these people asking.

    One thing to note, i'm in the middle of reuploading all the photo gallery files because the location of the gallery pictures has moved because of the new version, if you have any links directly to individual galleries or pictures you will have to update the links.

    For the moment the PC is working ok, I pulled some drives out and it seems to be good.

    I've had the website update hanging over me for a while, once I get that done today I can focus on the IG-88 site and the video.

    Cool, it's just weird having people you don't know asking about stuff you've talked about on the boards. I feel like I'm being stalked. ?[face_plain] :eek:

    I got the gallery uploaded, in the middle of the next step, the site went down and I can't get in at all right now, I've sent a ticket to the ISP, hopefully they will move quick on it :(

    The sites working well enough for people to check it out and let me know what still needs to be fixed.

    Things I know about:

    Memberlist
    FAQ
    Days with Events on the Calendar are not a different color

    I think I got that licked, it was stupid upper/lowercase S on the word standard thing.

    I also fixed the memberlist problem, but I had to delete the last 5 registered users to do it, the following people need to reregister

    MonJas
    Jedi_Knight
    Wapas
    revolcisum
    DarthKevin

    Sorry.

    All users should now be able to choose to see the site in English, French, Spanish or German.

    Thanks!

    Now to really thank me for the update, everyone post articles about what you've got going and add events to the calendar, so the site changes and stays alive, about the only thing that has kept the site interesting is the Photo Gallery, which I do think is superior to any fan force website.

    Great new layout, I think I like the lighter setting better than the darker one. Hmmm, German it is! :D

    I just added a bunch of new language options to the site, choose these from the Edit Profile link on the left of the site.

    Use these at your own risk, some of these are written for earlier versions of WebApp, and only change the default text used in the site, they won't change text that I have modified (and I've modified a lot) and the text used in addons to WebApp (and i've installed a lot).

    The languages are:
    Afrikaans
    Chinese
    Italian
    Polish
    Portuguese
    Slovene
    Turkish

    If you want to try them out, make sure you note the locations of the links on the page so you can change back to english if the site is confusing with the different language.
