Mark from Wargames Illustrated did all the technical swopover stuff and gave us space on their server, which is why their address comes up. They've done it all for nowt, so thanks very much to Mark for his work.

Might I suggest some sort of notice when redirecting, especially now that the transfer is still very recent? The difference between http://leadadventureforum.com and http://leadadventureforum.com isn't immediately apparent to everyone, I assume. Just a five second redirection notice along the lines of "Looking for LAF? Lose the www! This address leads to Wargames Illustrated, who are hosting LAF" might be useful for the first few months.

Other than that, absolutely no gripes. Great work!

Glad to have LAF back. Looking good!

Is there a way to increase the font size on the main topic page? Much smaller than before.

Thanks

Chuck

I'm with Chuck on this. The font on my PC is a bit smaller than before making it a little less comfortable to read. Is there a button I can press to fix this?

I managed to toggle the side bar using the button top right above the bit that contains the posts.
[This might have come up elsewhere in this thread,sorry if that is the case]

Could it be differences in browser rendering?

I am informed that efforts are underway to resolve this issue. It is hoped that this will make manually changing all the links unnecessary. So you might want to hold off doing so to save yourselves some effort.

OOOoh yes.

There is a list of links to games AARs on my ruleset website, I just notice that they are broken too.

It is a little bit strange, when you use the adress: http://leadadventureforum.com and you find yourself on the website from Wargames Illustrated.
Only the less popular site http://leadadventureforum.com brings you to the forum.
Does it mean, that this forum will be "eaten" by the wargames illustrated? Or how will the link redirect in the next days???

At least the button to get rid of that annoying left panel is now working perfectly!  :D

Thanks for that NurgleHH.

That's a mistake. I'm not Wargames Illustrated. The new server for LAF is the same as Wargames Illustrated is on, because I asked my chums at WI to do the technical side of things for the change over. We'll get it sorted tomorrow.

Alright, I'm now getting used to this outlook though there's one thing, likely just me having a problem with:



That line, it's just so barely visible there that it strains my eyes.
Any chance it could be made a bit darker someday after the more pressing concerns are looked after?

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

I miss the "started by" column from the good old days. It made everything look much more organised. The board looks more scrambeled and cluttered now.

I realise I can stille see who started a thread, but it was easier to scan through before.

You still have a sorting option for "Started By" next to "Subject" in the board views. It's not yet there in the "Unread" view and related items (i.e. those views that collate Posts from various boards), but in the topical boards, you can sort by topic starter.

Hi guys!

The Gallery between Calendar and Members is not visible to me.

Any idea how to get the Gallery to show up?

Um. Don’t know Ray. It’s disappeared for me as well 🙁

Me too  :o

I hope it comes back  :)

However, the Gallery can be reached via this link

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=gallery

I haven’t tested it to see if images will still load
My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2024 = 0
(2023 = 151; 2022 = 204; 2021 = 123; 2020 = ???)
