New Academic Year, New Sinner

[orudge]

On the subject of sigs, some users with images or formatting codes in their signatures may have to edit them, as some may not have been converted properly from the old sinner. You can do this easily enough from your User Control Panel.

Well, let's give this baby a run for their money.

New Sinner, new news!

- Union has wine on tap
- Mackays was very busy this Friday
= Tennants is £2 a pint

How does that look? Transpires that my sig needs fixed! Hooray.

[Thalia]

Yeah, big sigs are awful. I would also like to add a suggestion of allowing avatars - as long as they're limited in size i don't see any real reason why they should be disabled

[Dave the Explosive Newt]

I'm excited.

[beeny]

What. The. Hell. Happened.?

I want my old sinner back, this is frightening and cold and unfriendly....

[beeny]

I have looked about and cannot tell you how much this upsets me.

[Duggeh]

Also, why is all the user info on the right, instead of on the left where every single other forum puts it?

[Fawksie]

phpBB thought they'd be quirky and exciting. Bloody annoying if you ask me. I'll change it as soon as I test the code on another site.

[Fawksie]

Turns out that even following a guide that supposedly works, doesn't work. I'll experiment further later.

[LonelyPilgrim]

While recognising the general improvement in all categories, I still feel an urge to complain since I don't like change. I'm sure it'll grow on me, though.

[niall]

bring back the Crab!

Looks good, and I can post woo!

[househunter]

What the fuck have you done? You turned the simplicity of The Sinner into some generic phpBB message board.

[househunter]

I suppose I'm stuck in the past. I still find the Web of the 90s a thing of beauty, pages were still under construction and spinning.gif was the height of good web design.

This website is best viewed at 640x480 using Netscape Navigator 3.

We turned the instability and insecurity of the Sinner into a system with sound programming, a support base wider than three people, and vastly greater security and ease of maintenance. Sad to see it go, but it was a bit long in the tooth.

[harmless loony]

Despite Oli having labelled me as resistant to change last night because I don't like the new fb layout, I have to say that I DO like the new sinner. It'll take a bit of time to get used to but I like how slick it is......well done!!

[Power Metal Dom]

Woah this is going to take some getting use to! I like it though, very slick and shiny.

[J.C.H.]

You mean "coat of arms"... the University doesn't have a crest.

Yes it does, and supporters too. They were granted in 2006

[David Bean]

Looks good to me - well done to everyone involved!

But Loony's right, the new Facebook definitely sucks. Making people click an extra link just to read their wall posts fully - what idiot thought THAT was a good idea?!

[novium]

I agree- new facebook bad, new sinner good. I want to see the hand shaking the stick graphic though. I mean, there is all that blank space up on the top banner.
Also, shame on you all for creating a wiki. I'm addicted to those things.

On edit: Also, I see that our post counts are listed next to our names. i guess there is no more hope of hiding the shame of how much time one has wasted on the sinner.

On further edit: Owen just informed me that I am the most prolific female poster here. I guess that makes me the Queen of Sinners.

Note who your king is.
