Hey there Ambrosians, got bunch of exciting news. The forums have undergone a bit of an upgrade. They should be bit more compatible with mobile devices (even with older ones) as a @media port has been implemented to the forum .css code. We honestly can't tell if it worked properly, because nobody from the beta-testing crew owns an older phone model, but hopefully everything went according to plans. Not to be confused though, the portal is still inaccessible due to compatibility of jQuery with mobile browsers.

Secondly, users should find themselves capable of doing many more things with the forum BBCodes. For example, a lot bigger variety has been added to the colors

It's also worth mentioning, that a huge shoutout should go to Edgars because 90% of the plugins have been added by him and he also constructed the monstrous color-list.

Next upgrade worth mentioning, we have done a cache upgrade on our website. You should probably see it loading a bit faster (although this does not solve slow internet related issues). We also installed safety caching for posts.

More to go, we have added bunch of advanced HTML/CSS elements availbe through BBC. These probably won't prove very useful to casual visitors, but they could come handy in rules, stickies etc topics. They provide a stylish way for your posts and can ease up the navigation for users. An example can be found inside the spoiler below.

Apart from that we added some other small plugins that aren't really worth mentioning. Most of them aimed at forum's performance and utilities (for example group moving, notifications for administrators etc.)

If anyone is interested in the forms I've created in the spoiler above, you can find the entire code of it here:

Apart from that, we finally feel revitalized after spring as the summer is drawing near. We got bunch of exciting news but most of them are under development and we won't share yet. One thing worth mentioning, we are working on a ZM server, as we decided to give it one last shot. We'll see how it goes.

There should be a lot of exciting stuff coming up if everything goes according to plan

Nice, I love forum advances, due to creating informative topics. Now we can make a bit organized and noob friendly topics.

Thanks Rawrplus and Card Clasher.

Thanks Samuel

A lot of thanks should go to Edgars. I just uploaded the plugins he suggested and edited couple of them to fit our needs and did a small update on the .css code of our website. So while I'm happy you like the update, it would be sort of unfair for me to take all the credits

It's awesome. Thanks Ed and Rawrplus.

Well done guys, you've done a great job and the update is very informative.

Personally I have noticed an increase in site performance. Navigating between pages are a lot more snappier than in the past.

As for all the under hood enhancements, it's goes without saying that we all appreciate your time and efforts. I certainly don't know how to code but can only imagine the time it must take.
