When I just started this forum, I promised to upgrade it to the full version once it was popular enough. Well, I always try to keep my promises so here it is! So if you were wondering why the forum had been down for several hours, it was because I was converting from the old to the new version. That took me a bit longer than I expected because one of the first things I did was accidently deleting the old software's settings and I had to restore it from a backup at home...  Anyway, I'm still configuring the new software so you might see a few more changes in the next couple of days. Also, the bugs that were the reason I was hesitant to upgrade the software are still in this newest version. The bug tha annoys me the most is that cookies (local settings that remember which threads/topics you had read) don't always work (I had written my own cookie library for the previous version which was bug-free). If you load the main forum page and you don't see the familiar lights that tell you if a section contains new messages, try hitting the reload button of your browser - sometimes this helps. I will rewrite the cookie part again so hopefuly they should be working within the next few days. I will continue to upgrade the software and the website with only one goal in mind: making www.fiero.nl the best Fiero website on the internet! Enjoy!

This is nothing less than outstanding, Cliff! The search feature should make this system an even more powerful infomation tool for Fiero support. Now all we need is a spell checker, and a bot to alert us when someone has replied to posts of interest. (just kidding).. Mike

Waytaggo, Cliff!!!The Edit and Search functions are a great improvement from the earlier format. Hopefully, if people make proper use of the Search function, we won't have to answer the SAME questions over and over again as often. Using the Edit function, I was finally able to remove a silly "joke" that I had posted months ago that I always regretted. Thanks for all your efforts, Cliff.

But I liked that Joke!!! Looks very 2000 Cliff. As far as I'm concerned this IS the best Fiero site on the net. Ozzy (smile, Thumbs up, grin, smirk!) But I still cannot post SMILIES. Bet ya'll be glad when I can huh??
