This new "AO Classic" skin has the same feel and warmth of old AO, I am sure you will all approve this time round. Its bright, clean and hey basic, its easier to notice where all the buttons are too

Just ironing out any mozilla/netscape and Opera bugs

Regards,

AO

[alfaowner]

OKay, AO Classic should be available today, and Im surfing at some seriously high speed now!

Okay, ive added something to the forum software, capability to only display your signature once per page, so if you have three posts on one page, only the first post made/displayed will show your signature.

This was something we had on the old forums which ive brought with us here.

Thanks

JUST AN UPDATE - Not sure if anyone cares or not?
-------------------------------------------------
It was talked about that you couldnt add smilies to your signatures, but now you can, you may now use smilies in signatures, but dont over do it, i'd hate to edit all your hard work!

[alfaowner]

ok, ive added smilies to the quick reply as well.
