        :MPD: :MPD: :MPD: (thanks!)

        Ivan: can look into it, but the idea is that you get that avatar for every site that supports it, it’s a pretty nice idea.

          someone at the Bylarm trade show in Oslo said that it was lousy in Trondheim right now, but there is a new wave of indie bands from Bergen. Bent countered, etc.

            Which features are that? Notice I linked to a plugin list. I like this system, it has RSS and tags default, it has a working Ignore user plugin. And more invisible: much cleaner admin UI, I think a bit cleaner plugin API (the way plugins are wired into the system), although phorum was pretty decent in that area too.

            The handling of skins/themes has always been lousy in phorum (with bad mix of CSS and non-CSS formatting, for those technically inclined), it was always a hassle to upgrade from one phorum version to another, that tended to break plugins, themes. Time will show if this is better in that aspect.

            About those old postings, we’ll see about that one, at least they are available.

            Generally it is cool to be with a WordPress product, they are among the hottest names in the trade.

            And this default skin looks nice, although it breaks with the rest of the site of course. Will try to fix.

            I think the next thing to do, is to redo the whole site with a more user-centric feel, more in vein of a blog/wiki, let users help maintain front page stories, get more admins. One guy said that there are too few updates, and that is a fact, I don’t think people would come to this site a lot if it wasn’t for the forums. :)

            Off to play some Resistance 2 now… fine game.

                I can translate the first reader comment, by “The Bergenser”:

                “The trønders are filthy rednecks they got Nothing To Say (sic! wow wonder if he thought that one through). Bloody leather vest idiots you’ll have to look hard to find. Have been in Trondheim once, once too much. And no! I don’t care about fashions and trends.”

                :)

                  Can’t take credit for that, it’s the default. :) Fixing the visual template comes when we have tested this, fixed issues, everyone reasonably happy…

                    you use http://en.gravatar.com/, it should automatically display it here, possibly based on the email adress you supplied. But I don’t understand why there isn’t some link or something to explain that to users, will look into it.

                      One more thing, if you are a decent LAMP coder, it would be awesome to pull all the posts from the old forums and put them in here. Get in touch to volunteer.
