It is Squire, just that it it's called portal.

Ok. The portal is my favourite but I also like the view where all the threads of all the forums can be seen on the one screen like on p.ie or the way it used to be here. Pity there can't be the choice of the portal or the 'new posts' view because in the latter the forum where the post came from is visible which is nice.

The forum is really skinny now which is not nice

There is the Portal view and the Home view. We never had any other view.

I like the new look Machine Nation. It's very fresh, smooth and solid-looking. Everything is very well balanced against each other.

Good. I like it too. I increased the Latest Discussions page font from 10px to 11px. I think it looks better.

Indeed. It's nice and chunky. The page is nicely filled out.

Heheh. Will we switch off the portal for the laugh?

If you can find the 'latest discussions' button that will be the portal ...

No. That would be cruel and offensive.

He want's to be the President of Iran...

I think we should flatten our forum structure, like P.ie.

Categories contain forums which contain threads.

Currently we have categories containing forums (containing threads and forums(containing threads)) +threads. i.e. some of our forums can't be seen from the home page because they are buried in upper forums.

Though that'd require some amount of reconstruction

Not really, just some moving threads about. You can see the difference between vibes and scribes and gaeilge for instance.

Thanks, looks fine to me by the way.

It is looking lovely but I get attached to places and nostalgic. If it stays like this I'll have to have a few minutes silence and respect for the dear old skin.

The cogs are looking good though.

The shoutcast music link hasn't been functioning for some time. Perhaps we could get rid of it and put back the calendar, which for those of us who spend too much time here is a useful item to remind one of the passing of the days.

How much did you like the last skin cactus? I didn't like it at all but went along with you all for the sake of it. It really broke my heart to have to get up and look at it first thing in the morning at seven and last thing at night around two. I couldn't bear to post more than 25 per day because of it. I was hoping for a skin (c)rash every day for the past 107 days. I think I'll be posting a lot more now.

Why did you not say. We could have done this months ago.

I'll have to make new menu buttons now...

And fix the cogs. Or should we have an election for Site logo ???

I only feel nostalgic for things after they are gone. Oh ochone ochone Oh dear old skin with bockety bits tied on with baler twine, sob

Given a decent period of mourning I could get over the loss.

This is nicer - the home page is clearer. I miss the colour change that tells me I've already read the thread though.

The blue and white is good too. Well done guys.

Now is this it - or is there more to come? I just need to know before I start moving my stuff in, you know?

Well this is it as far as the tidy up goes, almost. Just need to hoover the rugs and empty the fireplace.

Could we have the photos on the left? I'd like them on the left...

You mean the avatars ?

Can the Avatars be put on the left ??

Well done to EvotingMachine there - I did nothing in case ye were wondering.

Kate there is a button when you click Home called 'view posts since your last visit' and that's the same as the coloured thing with the answered posts you miss.

I like this overall - I feel there are more buttons to push and all - it's very nice.

(I spose a bit of redecorating of the portal is next then? Is that my job?)

It's different again.

What about a water wheel instead of the one on the homepage? They tie in nicely with all the environmental stuff we do here, and they were used in industry and they're prettier, and there's a sense of constant movement and productivity that's rather comforting. A moving one would be fantastic.

The photos on the right are a bit weird but it's the same on p.ie so it won't be hard to get used to it. We should however impose a ban on all people except Johnfás changing their avatars.

Audi, put back on your old clothes

No

I like that big rusty old thing - what is it - a yoke for drying clothes back in the day?

I do, all the jazz on the right... I'd find it more pleasing on the left.... quite seriously...

I read from left to right, so I'd like to read who wrote the post and then the post, rather than the other way round.

You'd all notice my legs more then .
