I am going to try and upgrade the software of these forums in a few minutes. I hope all goes well, but there maybe some posting problems for an hour or so...
It should be for the best though!

Turns out I'm talking to myself... People on the vbulletin forum (the forums about this software) tell me I have managed to shut down the forums...
Lucky you - you don't know how awful it look right now
I am now playing around to make sure things are working.

Well, things are better now so I think I'll re-open in a few minutes. If you see anything wrong please post in the feedback forum or as a reply to this thread

Okay! We're back in business. Come on people - let me know what you think about the new features. Don't ask me what they are yet, because I need to check like the resy of you!
First things are the smilies to the left of the posting form - no need to open a separate page for the smilies anymore. You can also insert pictures more easily - just click on the button that says IMG and add the url where your pic is. You can also now underline, bold and add colors to your posts more easily.
Another thing I see is that we have our location stated next to our names. And wait till you see blue's new favorite - The Avatars!

The forums are looking good! I like the private messenging feature. Are you going to allow every member to have an avatar or only those who have so many posts?
I also wanted to let you know that now all the links to "Forums" on the top of each of your pages on The Cat Site lead to a 404 error, not to the forums anymore. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/index.php3

You're very welcomed! I got here by cutting the /index.php3 off the link *jeez I'm soo crafty, eh?
Wel, another forum I use allows people to have a custom avatar if they reach 300 posts, but they have quite a few generic avatars for people below 300. Where would custom avatars be stored? On your site? If so, I would proabably let post-a-lots have them because there may be some people who come and post 10 times, then disappear. This would cause you to have all this wasted space on your server for av's from people who are long gone.

Blue - your avs change by the minute
They're all great but I reallu loved that kitty with the sunglasses!
I really recommend reading this page:
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/misc.php?action=faq
It's the new FAQ for the forums and has lots of useful info.
Ash - avatars are the little pictures that blue and I have next to our names. I am going to add avatars to the site so that everyone can choose one. Adult cats (members with more than 100 posts) can upload customized avatars.
I'd better go and start adding some now...
