The site is back up, check the news post on the main page for details.

ALSO: I would like suggestions for how we could improve the site. It can be anything from graphics, to content, to technology etc. All suggestions welcome, post them in this thread. I want to keep improving the site, but I also want to know what the users of the site want. So, fire away.

A few things off the top of my head:
- Some of the color tags are broken.
- New themes.
- Previewing a post checks to see if another post in the thread has subsequently been posted (TaleWorlds' forums has this)
- It would be cool if there was a way to post code without losing whitespace.  This is especially bad for Python hacks.

As for the forum, I'm not sure how much I can do. Zetaboards isn't hugely customizable, but there might be something. It would be better to use forum software like SMF, but that means having to repost everything, which would be a pain.

Buttons are not working anymore  (buttons for italic letters, image, spoiler etc.) ...

The forum is more my realm I guess, so I'll answer a few queries...

kt0, I have now enabled the code tag. Hope it works.
The post preview thing is not AFAIK available on ZetaBoards.
New themes is something I may look into if I get the time.
Which color tags?

SW, the buttons work for me....

But they don't for me.

None of them do.... not the color not the big/small not the URL not the IMG. None of them.

Ok, just made this test account, and indeed nothing works. How friggin' wierd.

EDIT; Support board check confirms this is a server-wide issue, methinks we're just gonna have to sit it out.

Everything works now

The stuff works if you put it in manually.

But yeah..

I know, but it's a bitch about the buttons.
