Dig the new software, but I've got a couple questions.

1) I'm trying to upload an 'avatar', but I get the following error:

General Error
Could not update users table

2) Would it be possible to customize the forums? Colours/images/etc?

Thanks,

What problems? I'm a fan of "Fans!," and we were having no problems at all until you decided to upgrade. Now I can't post to that forum, and I have no idea whether or not this will go through.

Not long ago someone pointed out how lucky and/or smart T was to have left the forums on Keenspace when the comic itself migrated to Keenspot, because Keenspot was having nothing but problems with its new forum software. So why didn't you make sure all the 'spot problems were fixed first before doing this to the 'space forums (or, more to the point I suppose, why didn't you confine your experimentation to the 'space forums before messing with the "premier" Keenspot forums in the first place)?????

I'm very dissapointed in the new forums. Is there some setting we have to change to get them to work properly? I have a very high speed connection and yet the new forums take forever to load. Many times they do not even load successfully. I don't want to have to wait a minute and a half every time I want to see a new page. Any suggestions?

I don't understand why they were really changed. Although, I do like the option of having an Avatar image. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it. Some sort of "General Error"
I hope the slow speeds, and errors are being looked into.

We are looking into the problems. We hope we've fixed the slowness and some of the avatar and user problems.

Yeah, you have. I can actually post here now (I couldn't even log in before) :)
