Essa shared some of 4w's old files a while back. Just thought i'd post some pics of the old boards in case people get curious.

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.

Brings back some great memories... If we could bring elements of that old layout back (specifically the big box when you had a new PM) that would be great but I don't know if that's anything that could be done with the new layout.

And yeah, the mobile version of the site could do with some streamlining improvements. I also have night mode on permanently as I really don't like the default layout.

Not a slight on you though, benjawi, you've done a good job keeping the site up and running.

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

Alterations were made of Acidtech, a phpBB forum theme. https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl … ch_(blue)/

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.

Yeah - for receiving PM notifications. I see no means to send a PM, however.

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

Um... am I missing something? Okay, so when I say "PM notifications" I should say "notifications". There's a circle next to my avatar, and when I click it, it says "notifications". The notifications page is, for my purposes, useless and has nothing to do with reading or composing. PMs don't seem to exist...?

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.

I just looked at your account Paige and you have PMs disabled for some reason. I've enabled that for you so hopefully you should see it now.

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

Neither did I as I'd never even thought of it. Figured I'd check it though since your last post made it clear that you weren't seeing the icon for it.

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  🙂

If it's possible, ben, one thing that would help me a lot in mobile view is if you made the big 4W logo at the top of the screen a link to the homepage. Sometimes I have trouble getting the smaller 4w forums home page link to actually work on my phone for some reason and end up putting the URL back in the address bar to get back to the homepage.

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

Again, it's very tempermental on my phone. There's nothing wrong with my touch screen as far as I know, but even when I zoom in on the page to click the home icon it usually doesn't work.
