Yeah right now the old news articles and videos are missing until we get those converted.

I figured out the profile problem now, I'm working on fixing it at the moment. You should be able to change it once I get a default one in.

Would you like to expound on that? Also bare with me as we will definitely have some teething issues as I work out the kinks.

I will keep tweaking the settings, you should be able to set the avatar. Let me know when you can.

You should be able to change your avatar now by going to your profile, and clicking this button: Let me know if you can't. I think you should be able to play with your display name. Let me check into it now. The reaction system is bare bones but we will add more after Ross makes something up. Let me check the perms.

Hey this is The Britain, Ross is still getting setup in his new place, so we're launching a bit bare-bones. The videos and old news posts will make their way back, but we're going to go ahead and get things rolling. SendGrid is giving us some issues with sending our mail, please be patient as we get things rolling. You may not get your password reset/sign up mail right away. WE DO NOT HAVE SMTP SETUP YET SO YOU WILL NEED TO CHECK YOUR SPAM MAIL. View full article

Ekke, Tomáš and I have been working on the IPB conversion for Ross's site. I'm sure there will be some issues or things you would like to see changed. I can't promise we'll implement it, but please post your findings. It's very much a work in progress for the next couple of months getting the place straightened out. Q: Why did you update the site? The old one was fine. A: The old site was a cross link between Wordpress and PHPBB3. Each of those platforms on their own have a litany of security bugs. The administrators had two logins to manage two separate sites essentially, and neither could be easily secured/upgraded without significant work. The new site is built off a solid, secure, tested and supported unified framework. Additional Improvements: Strong anti-spam tools. Fully integrated reputation system. Full site SSL. Slicker forums. Better moderation tools. Modern commercially supported framework. All around better back-end security. Migrated to a new dedicated VPS. CloudFlare integrated. Responsive web design, 99% mobile friendly. Better caching for quicker loading. Better search functions. Better embedding. And more... In short, the new site is better than the old site in most ways, but we're still looking for feedback. We very much want an upgrade in all things. Let us know if we overlooked something.
