Prosilver dark edition also still has some things like various user groups/names (including my own) in a dark colour which is almost unreadable with that board skinning...
With that head-banging avatar, names become rather irrelevant, no?

If this is an alternate/emergency site, then yes. You've done a superb job with oolite.space and our bulletin board and I see no need for an alternative.

Same here: I do not object to releasing oolite.site.
If need be we can work with subdomains on oolite.space.

Gentlemen,

Two forum issues



1) It no longer seems possible to "upload" an icon/avatar through the User Control Panel

(USC -> Profile -> Edit Avatar)



2) There are a number of posts which linked through to our wiki - these no longer connect. Would this be easily fixable?

eg.: [wiki]Wormhole Scanner[/wiki]

For someone with mod powers, yes. All that link needs is an underscore not a space.

Alas it does not seem to work on my macbook: (USC -> Profile -> Edit Avatar) opens the settings, but in the drop-down list box "Avatar type:" only the default option "Gallery Avatar" ist available. I get no option for uploading a custom image in the list. I tried it with both browsers I have, firefox and safari, but neither worked. :( Any ideas what can be done?
