We are back online. It was extended a few days because of some mess ups... a hosting error put us back a few days. But, this hosting will be MUCH better now that it is setup.

You guys can start posting now. I will be working on customizing this a great deal and you'll see the changes over days and weeks. Some new features:

+ Message formatting with various font styles and sizes as well as allowing quoting, code display, image posting and automatic URL linking

+ Support of standard and extended BBCode tags and controlled HTML tags

+ Polls can be simply added to posts

+ Email notification of replies to your topics

+ Powerful topic subscription capability

+ Email-like private messaging system

+ Avatars

So, enjoy! Go edit your profiles and fill in the new info.

We'll get more into this stuff as time goes on and I get this forum looking more like us. We have a new look planned.

Cool. I'll be busy the next few days with a big report though. I might find time to stop by though.

Woohoo! Finally, we're back! It's been awhile. I think it was last Tuesday (so 7 days we've been gone). I checked the past 2 days and I got sent to karateforums.net. Nice forum there too but I don't know anything about Karate.

But the wait looks well worth it. Great job, Patrick! I love the new look. It looks awesome. It looks exactly like the Sacramento Kings' message board I sometimes post to (sachoops.com).

Oh I was wondering if you could help me with something, Patrick? I'm trying to add a signature to my posts but it's giving me this "General Error", "Could not update users table" message and not letting me have a signature.

Spike,

KarateForums.com.

This look is the default phpBB 2 look and is NOT our new look. The reason that the Kings message board looks like this is because they did not customize it.

Justin,

You - Jury Duty? Holy schnikes.

And about the error, I will get it taken care of. Thanks.

Please keep in mind during the next week, we'll have things flying in and out of here. (Graphic/layout wise). When it is complete, I'll make a post.

Thanks.

haha yep...i got lucky though, I wasnt selected to any trials. They were picking jurors for a 26-day case that wouldnt end till July 3rd, im so glad not to get stuck on that

Is it intentional that the site keeps going down (I tried to get on earlier today but was again redirected to karateforums.com)?

OK, that one error is fixed good job Pat, but I cannot add an avatar. Got a bunch of funky errors.
