• Forum Mods such as Quick Reply will NOT be added back to the site until such time as I can find a better and more current version better suited for our software upgrade. This is not to say they will never be added again, only that they are pretty low on the "To Do List" at this time given the massive amount of aesthetic changes required to the remainder of the site.

If you receive a Debug error when trying to post or reply to topic, simply logout and log back in to the site.

I like it. I didn't have any trouble posting or getting signed in.

I love the new site, I think it looks great especially the new post icon, really caught my eye.

The only problem I can see for now anyway, is the links in the white band running across each section e.g. the light blue font that reads "Captain's Rules, Competitons and Announcements", it's a little hard to read, and yeah I know I'm getting old and cant see as good as I use to lol.
I personally like the dark theme color, just reading the headings is a little hard.

I'll add this to the "To Do" List because you're right, it is an issue.

If there's no real big issues surrounding the site then I'll publish it this week in place of the existing CP Website.

So I'm guessing this is the green light to publish the test site then in place of the existing Cash Pirates Site?

Cash Pirates is now live and will be undergoing some aesthetic changes for the short term until such time as I can re-build the original theme closer to my original vision and hopefully more W3C compliant. All theme issues mentioned above will be implemented in the current theme to help ease the transition to this darker style.

Cash Pirates.

Thanks for all your hard work Duke, the site looks great and I cant wait to get the site back in full swing.

[Duke]

No problem buds, I'm just sorry it took so darn long to finally get 'er done.

Testing Site taken offline; link removed from first post.

The permissions are fine Duke, I have found a couple of issues.....

1) The title of each forum "Welcome to the Ale House" doesn't really stand out from the info of what is in the ale house. It is a different color, but only slightly. Maybe it could be a little bigger so it stands out. Thi isn't a huge issue though.

2) Not an important issue, but thought I might mention it, and it's one I'm pretty sure your aware of.
The function for uploading your own avatar doesn't work.

Also I have done a bit of image searching for pirate avatars if you want them.
Is there a way that I can that care of the avatars for you so it's less work.

I plan on editing this for both GameMovieMaking and CashPirates but I won't be able to do it until next weekend as I have my daughter with me this weekend. I'll be changing the font color because making the font larger will also make the forums larger, thus increasing scrolling and making the forums look unbalanced.
