Old 4w Pics

Ahhh I miss 'em so much! That first picture - that right there is the 4w I remember. Would love to see that layout again. I really don't like the current, even with my color corrected to "night mode" or whatever permanently. It's amazing how much the aesthetic meant to me. This "comment" instead of "reply" and no apparent way to send a PM is weird. BtW the site doesn't work right on my mobile - it only occasionally shows me logged in and I have to work for it to make a post. Anyone else? I'm happier with an awkward 4w than no 4w of course, just sayin'... doesn't look so appealing or feel the same when browsing. There was something more welcoming, more confident-looking about the old forum look. Don't mean to be rude, seriously.

Edit: also, holy shit - Troika, thedude1 and Hardcore Huak! Haven't seen those names in years.

I think the luna forum thing is a free board software or something like that. So we might be limited as to what we can get

Limited only in the sense that my hosting is shared across all the sites I own, so if I use something heavy on here like PunBB then it'd be a lot slower and could also slow down my other sites - likewise, heavy traffic on my other sites could slow 4W down a lot with a heavy forum software. Luna is lightweight and has a creator that cares about progressing, improving and keeping the core light whilst still having the essential forum elements. There are many reasons why I chose Luna really, but being lightweight is an important one for not overloading my server,

PM's are in the top menu Paige - one over from your avatar. The emails for a new notification don't seem to work anymore though so I need to look at that - or at least an easier to see notification on the forum, as it's not always easy to stop a number appear next to the PM icon.

When you're in the PM section there's a green compose button.

Should be in between notifications and your avatar image. The notifications one is used for subscriptions, giving you a notification when someone has replied to a post you've subscribed to. There should be an icon to the right of that tho.

Thanks very much Ben, I didn't even know disabling PMs was a thing. Weird.

On these boards, everything works fine for me even on Mobile.  I like both set ups lol

The next update should include a few mobile view fixes. I made some the other week, but the next official Luna update will address some issues with mobile views. I view the forum a lot on my phone, and although it looks nice there is room for improvements - which are being worked on  🙂

What about hitting the home icon on the breadcrumbs? There's one at the top and bottom of each thread/forum

That first picture gave me that smiley nostalgic feeling.

I got banned from old 4w so many times lmao.

This is the one I remember

Damn, 15 years pretty much.

Wow what a find! Mullet Superior. That’s my real life friend who brought me to the forums back in 2004-05

Wow that's cool! Do you two still watch (I stopped watching consistently in 05)?

Kinda cool to have friend introduce you to the forums.
