We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
In fact there are some people on the Colorado board that auto merge feature turns into a spitting rage ball, that's half the reason I kept it on

Looks okay to me. Doesnt bother me either way though.
While this is unequivocally true, even a slight breeze can cause some HFAvs posters to fly into a fit of rage or melodramaIn fact there are some people on the Colorado board that auto merge feature turns into a spitting rage ball, that's half the reason I kept it on
I hate to be the one to bear this potentially world-shattering news to you: this is actually where they send the riff raff...

@forsbergavs32 is actually like the 2nd biggest troll on there... after the guy who keeps threatening to make his avatar fatter and fatter
I like how the term “The Great Crash” is now a thing.

Small thing but I remember in the old layout the website footer height was smaller. You could scroll down on mobile really fast and know that when it eventually hit the bottom of the page the page navigation buttons would be in view. It was just really convenient.
Also, I still can't search a specific search term within a team forum.

Threads with new posts are already bolded, the bright red label seems redundant

Like how not opening a thread they dont like is impossible, so we need an "ignore thread" feature.You haven't met most our users

When the boards returned there was a "view ignored content" option/link at the bottom of each page which is now gone. Has it moved or been removed? My IL list is big, very big.

Yeah that's another one I'll get around to,
Can we get rid of this post thread box? It’s causing scrolling issues on mobile. It had been removed before the crash happened.

It feels a little too busy to me, honestly. It's sort of nice for threads that I've been following, but calls more attention to threads that I'm not interested in. You guys have been teasing people for simply not clicking on uninteresting threads instead of using the "ignore threads" feature, but this feature makes such threads harder to ignore. Maybe if the background weren't red, but the same as the board background, they wouldn't be as distracting?
...this place needs to sell some merch "I survived both the Great Crash & @hangman005 's OnlyFans"...

Count me as someone who appreciates the 'new' tag. On dark theme (the best theme), it can be hard for me to tell what threads have new posts or not. The bolded doesn't look all that much different to me, so I appreciate the change here.
