G'day eBlahers,

The paint is still fresh and there's lots of sawdust everywhere, but I welcome you to the unveiling of your brand new eBlah! for 2008.

There are a lot of new features and I am currently preparing an update list for you to browse through. I hope to have this up for you shortly.

Make no mistake - this has been a massive upgrade. It may look similiar, but the functionality is a whole lot different behind the scenes.

You'll also find some cute new things, like the ability to post YouTube videos safely and lots more!

You can also point your friends to http://www.eblah.com.au where they can easily remember the URL and jump straight in.

Over the next day I will also be introducing themes and smilies for you to change the scheme of eBlah! to your personal preference.

Anyway, I am still working on things but it's now OK for you to get your hands dirty and have your say. Tell me what you think of the new look and functionality. Send through the bugs - I know there are alot of members very intimate with the ins-and-outs of eBlah! and will pick them up for me quickly!

Have fun, and leave your comments below please.

cheers,
Glen

Woah!  

*walks into a wall

That wasn't there before. I think I like it.

First thing I noticed was the cute little YouTube icon, and I like the new eBlah logo. It'll take me a while to get used to this. Oh, and I already have a complaint. Words don't wrap around properly (neither in the text boxes or in the final posted messages themselves).

Anywho, congrats to a job well done, and hopefully this "revamp" will attract a new breed of budding eBlahists.

EDIT: I also noticed my post count dropped a bit. Is there a new criteria as to what constitutes a legitimate post? (or were did some threads/messages just not roll over to the new eBlah?) Just curious.

... Words don't wrap around properly (neither in the text boxes or in the final posted messages themselves)...

I just noticed that as well.  I bet it's a bug.

I've also noticed that blocks of text that have been marked as spoilers are now unhidden.

AND... everybody's ages are showing (by default). Don't you guys have any consideration for the self-esteem of our female members?

Oi, I heard that.

I don't understand the use of the YouTube code option.  Anyone care to explain to this
old bat?

I notice it now says, the last post you viewed in this thread was:

Very chic, I like it especially the update to the quick reply. Although I can't see anywhere to hide spoilers.

But well done admin!

Bahahahahaha 372 days online lol... you can see I don't log out when I leave

It all very BLUE!  

I will look  further and see what has changed.  

Admin had better stick around to see what we think now. (it could be all good).  

I already miss the link to the News Page which was at the top of the eBlah board .  

I love it!! It's about time a change happened.  

I like how it says how much time we have been online on eblah too!!

Now I know how old Paula is!!   heheheheh!

I love that bit!  

P.S. thanks for the explanation on the YouTube thinger, Dara!

I have noticed that polls, in which I have already voted, don't show that i have done it.

I like the new look. Keep up the good work!

I miss a banner up the top though.
Peoples sigs are so small now.
I hated the orange banner though so it's good anyway.
Paula you hid your age again :O
Lol does anyone log out??
Hey my youtube vid isn't showing up now. :S
You're welcome Paula
