The new B5TV.COM is here!

Oh, it does look good! And I also appreciate the slightly larger default text size (also on computer)...
 
Entering from the northern mists..

Great forum update! (y) Exciting times in the B5 Universe. Good to see you all again :)
 
Well, my old account was messed up, so I got a new one anyway! Whooo Hoo! We're back baby! New Babylon 5, new B5TV forum!
 
It's good to see the old familiar faces. Well, the old familiar usernames.

Place looks good, Ant. A nice balance between upgrades and continuity.

Mike, private message me the email address on your old account. I'll then merge them. And would you rather be MikeG or Mike G?
 
Seems that after 30 minutes, can't edit or change posts. Was editing a post that was 20-ish minutes old, but by the time I finished - Ooops We Ran Into Some Problems - changes lost. Noticed a duplicate post and tried to remove it, but "over 30 minutes old" and no luck,

Like most forums editing is limited to a time... it's to stop people going in later and changing the post and maybe changing meaning of a thread that has since developed since then.

While I don't see it as a major issue here, it's still reasonably good practice.

But I've upped it to 60 mins, to get more time.
 
So after all these years, the forum engine is still maintained and published by someone? Wow. I knew that free software lives forever (but gradually degrades towards unmaintained), but for a piece of commercial software to outlast such a period is a miracle. :)
 
P.S. Interesting - after a while has passed, it's no longer possible to edit an old post, is is supposed to be like that?

Also, I educated myself about forum software - apparently you managed to migrate the database to a different forum engine, congratulations! :)
 
Yeah, there is a time limit... it's stop people changing their minds later and changing the narrative of a thread. Or doing weird things like deleting posts. Editing is meant for typos etc.
