I log on tonight and I get this new look :shock:

So I have to ask:

- Why the change?

- How much is it costing people?

- Do people want donations to cover the cost?

- Any way to simplify some of the pages? like turn off buttons at the top eg lottery. I kinda liked the old pages being simple... but I guess I will get used to it :)

- and WTF are Opel dollars?

This is looking very weird to me right now :lol:

Working a few final touches.
The DNS kicked in quicker than we thought..!! Some things need to be finalized.

Opel Dollars allow you to "buy" things. Like health, shop items etc...

Play around....

It is a DNS issue.

As the details of the new site's ip address filter through, you and others will find that the www.opelaus.com link will work just fine.

The Team at OpelAus are extremely grateful to HardwareBob. He has been gracious in allowing us to host the forum on his server.

[marq=right:8221352b47]So, Matt... Thanks go to you..!!![/marq:8221352b47]

At a meeting about a month ago, it was decided to expand OpelAus to encompass a complete website. Forum, chat, links etc... The only way that we could achieve this was to migrate. Which is what we have just done.

Work behind the scenes has been quite hectic. This has been quite a process. Some things still need to be done, and more changes will occur as we find our feet with the new service. I have spent two weeks playing with 5 different versions of this style of forum. On top of that, 2 days intergrating the databases.

Christian is working feverishly on the new website. I think javascript is driving him mental....

There are some big plans on the way.

Please bear with us should wierd things happen.

Stay tuned.

Java script???


whats that???


:shock:


yes things aren't final...in fact they will never be final on this site, as we have grown rapidly over the year, we felt that it was too much for one person in partiuclar to take on a role, and that is why there will a number of people activly involved in teh website. Developing new things for you! This also means that we may infact contact some members who we consider to be of aid not only to management but to every other member.

hang tight everyone...


ohh and if some pages stuff up every now and again.....i'm sorry .....its just me testing some scripting......
:mrgreen:



ps.. samvac i've fixed the www. thing so www.opelaus.com will now point to here!
