Great work with the transfer and I definitely felt the loss of the LAF for those couple of days.

My only suggestion at the mo is to make the thread titles in bold on each board as now when I look at a board I kinda get a dyslexia-inspired blur and have to really stare at the text to break it down into thread titles in my head.

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

Thank you Prof.  I know I'm not alone in saying we appreciate all the work you've done to our community over the years.  You service to our painting hobby has been invaluable.

We salute you!

Hi Alec - I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for setting up this site and maintaining it for many years. It is without doubt the best War Gaming Site on the internet with the most civil and polite membership I have come across and this I believe is down to your guiding principles as well as the board moderators influence and I hope this continues.

I'll be honest and say that I am saddened by the fact that it has moved from Germany to Britain partly because it's likely to change from an Indie operation to a commercial one with what ever that might imply and partly because the War Gaming world is Anglo Centric UK and US and having this very influential forum based elsewhere just seemed a good thing to me. You will note I am from the UK.

The final thing I would like to comment on, are the few replies that have asked if it's OK to portray the swastika, the reason we have not done so in the past is because it's illegal in Germany but also because it offends quite a few people, hence the law, I believe we should continue to have the same respect for all our neighbours sensibilities in the future as we have in the past.

All the best to the new LAF and all who sail in her.

EXACTLY! ;)

BTW: Shitty new formatting and ping. It seems that UK would NEVER get things done with the proverbial German efficiency!  :D

But North Star's Nick is widely known as a very nice and serious guy, so I am pretty sure things will improve with time!  ;)

A very hearty THANK YOU! To the Prof! Without you, none of us would be here.

Congrats on the switchover and to Nick on your new baby!

The new site looks nice, the URL is clean, and I actually remembered my password.  This is good.

Yes, for all, that’s just the new forum URL whichever device you’re using.
