u to seem a little disorganised

Nope, these are all folders

Edit: Wonder why the new system won't like many pms. Bloated file size after the upgrade maybe?

Less PMs means less things to move. Basically, helps save time.

[Aisha_Clan-Clan]

Ah, ok.

so can't get to 8000. =x.x=

[AlexCraig]

[Aisha_Clan-Clan]

Oh, that's neat that Ryna zipped yours up. Hopefully he can do the same for mine... (Please? And thanks ;o)

[Aisha_Clan-Clan]

Well, 7903 before I nuked folders. Now just a few hundred

Edit: Wonder if that's the highest on record...

To answer the question regarding themes... The new forum software will come with new themes (which we are still customizing). The 'legacy' sections of the site will still continue to run off of the current theme set, but the new forums (and hopefully all future new sections, or updated sections) will run off the new theme set. At the moment, we have about three or four themes that will be available at launch and we plan to add more after the upgrade.

I think many users will enjoy the new themes, but I do understand that some users will still prefer the older ones. We do plan on having new themes that mimic some of the more popular older themes, but it may take us a little while to roll these out as we'll likely be very busy tweaking and fixing other little issues that crop up

Personally, I have a hard time going back to the old themes once I've been using the new ones for a while. Thanks to a more powerful style system, we can have themes with a wider variety of colors and a MUCH more updated look. I have a feeling that we'll be getting more requests to update the rest of the site with the new themes, than requests to update the new sections with the old ones
