Looking into this David, can't figure out why it's not storing cookies properly as I have the same issue!

Edit: Fixed :)

David, I've cleared my cookies, and now it works for me too. In addition, I now get email notifications of new comments on threads I've commented on, which is great! I was so used to not getting notifications that I'd resigned myself to that being a "feature" of the forum...

Me too David. Also check out the new board styles, my choice is Artodia black.

Oh, that's nice. I'll have to give them all a try, but it's good to have a choice. 8-)

There's been a few improvements to phpbb both cosmetic and under the hood.

I am going to try and make a style that's similar to the MOC website in colours, but as the forums are not owned by the MOC this will not be a mandatory style, just an option and it gives me something to do :)

Only problem with multiple styles is that you end up having to mod multiple style sheets if you use plugins.

Another improvement I've just found is an improved search facility. Two days ago, I tried searcchign on "megasquirt" and I couldn't - it said the term was too common (I think). Just tried it again and it works now.

I like this new version. ;)

I have now changed the logo on Art Black, fits in a bit nicer now :)
