Who's got the highest post count? Who has spent the most time online? Are we all equal in the eyes of the forum now?

Less grumpy and more grateful.

If this update keeps the site alive, then that's something to celebrate.

Thank you as ever TB and the team that keep this place going.

I prefer the old one, probably the biggest reason we didn't move to SMF 2.1 earlier, as we've been testing it, on and off, for about 5 years.

But SMF 2.0 is now EOSL, so we've had to take the jump.

It's almost like when you pick up one of your favourite foods and it says "new & improved recipe" it's just not the same but you go along with it..👍

Just a thought! How do we know it is real? Could be just AI and the real OOF is locked in a cupboard somewhere. Has anyone actually seen TB
