    northwestbikers News & Info

    A couple of months ago, we decided to change forum software.

    As we continue to improve our service, we will be performing an upgrade near the end of the month. Do not panic, the site will look the same however a few things will be slightly different. Most things are back-end changes but, you will see a couple of things on the front-end.


    Watching A Forum

    Currently this is only available to use on independent threads. This will be expanded and will allow users to watch whole forum categories.

    New Editor

    The new-look editor is cleaner and lighter. The code has been completely overhauled and looks very pleasing on the eyes.

    All current functionality remains with a couple of new features including; drag 'n' drop image uploading, as well as user tagging similar to Twitter.


    Responsive Design

    Although the skin will look the same, it has been recoded to be responsive. This will allow you to view the default forum design on all devices including, desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones.


    We have been pleased with all the positive comments we've received from members since the switch, so hope that the new features mentioned above (and others) will be welcomed just as much.

    Paul are you going to be doing anything with the "your content" section, the new way its laid out is a bit wierd and doesn't tell you if someone has left a comment after your in the topic.
    The previous style one was perfect.

    Anyone else having the sign in problem? Everytime i close the internet browser (on PC) it logs me out, never used to have this problem. I could click the stay signed in box and i would, it keeps signing me out now however. P.s. have already tried cookie settings etc but works fine with everything else i log in to (Facebook etc)
