Horray!!!

The current style is only temporary. We encountered a few issues when upgrading the forum to myBB 1.8 from myBB 1.6, and Liam has been awfully busy with educational and work commitments, and has consequently been unable to fix the issues we've encountered upon upgrading.
Do accept my most sincere apologies, and we hope that NEB will be back to normal in due course.
Hope so it's a mess

(15 Sep 2014, 7:41 pm)Dan They haven't - it's just because the theme was downloaded from the Internet so that NEB was a bit easier on the eye (and this theme didn't incorporate links to fleet lists, etc). I've dropped Liam another message............

To provide an update, Liam is currently working on a new theme for NEB, which will work without the assistance of some of the plugins we used previously which haven't actually been updated for myBB 1.8 as of yet.
It'd be such a shame to downgrade back to myBB 1.6, after the length of time we've waited for myBB 1.8 to be released, so we'd rather try and fix the issues we have come across with the upgrade.

Updates - 16/09/14
- Users now have the ability to add HTML to posts.
This allows you to format your posts by adding bold text, italics, underlining text or 'striking through'; this also allows you to align your text (left, centre, right); this allows you to change your font size; and much, much, more. I do intend to add a spoiler code, but this requires a little bit of editing by Liam first.
- Users can now 'favourite' threads.
This is different to a forum subscription, whereby a user receives an e-mail every time a new post is made in this thread. This feature is mainly designed to collate your favourite threads in your User CP. You can add a thread to your 'favourites' by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking 'Add thread to Favourites'.
- Users can now view unread posts.
Those who have downloaded Tapatalk will know that you can easily view all unread posts and quickly flick through them. You can now do this on the desktop version of the website, too. This acts very much like a search facility, but will be useful to some who don't wish to go through all of the individual sub-forums.
- Users can now add their Social Media pages to their posts.
Please note that this is entirely optional, and those who wish to remain anonymous needn't use this feature. A lot of us have added links to our Flickr pages on our signatures, though this will no longer be required. You can add links to your Social Media websites via your User CP - simply look for 'Miscellaneous' on your User CP, then 'Social Sites'. This will add a small logo underneath your name (to the left) on each post, as you can see with my post.
- Users can now say what mood they're in.
I've seen this on a few forums and it's not something I'm overly interested in; however, we've got a "What's annoying you today?" thread as well as a "What's made you happy today?" thread, so I think it works. I think some of us are quite vocal about how we're feeling, what's got us down, etc, so it may be of use to these people. You can change your mood on the little grey bar underneath the navigation bar.
That's all for now...
Any problems, don't hesitate to PM me or drop me a line on this thread.
