    Forum Software Updated - XenForo 1.2

    Let me know if things have improved any - there was a minor patch to Xenforo. Otherwise I'll try to keep an eye and see if this is something they're planning to fix.

    Forum Software Updated - XenForo 1.2

    This board is now running the latest version of XenForo, so you might notice some new things around. Let me know if anything's broken, or feel free to post any interesting new discoveries here. Most importantly, the experience on mobile browsers etc. should be much better now. For the...

    Iron Maiden through the decades: The Trooper

    Had a quick search and didn't find this in the first few pages of results - pretty awesome compilation of live footage showing the evolution of The Trooper.

    Bruce Dickinson, flight 666 and other stories in Oslo

    Don't worry so much, I posted the information as it was sent to me by e-mail and might be of interest to any Norwegian fans out there who don't come across it by other means. No need for a thanks ;) Cheers, Jon

    Bruce Dickinson, flight 666 and other stories in Oslo

    Sounds interesting for any of you out there nearby - there's further information available in Norwegian at the Oslo Konserthus website.

    Account Deletion

    I'm not really sure I get this - you joined 20 minutes before you posted this message. Every popular piece of forum software works the same way, vBulletin, phpBB etc. - none let users delete their own accounts. We don't use your user account info for anything, you won't get any promotional...

    Hyperlink colour

    Don't know why I hadn't previously spotted this, but changed it to something more legible - Good call.

    Rock in Rio

    Offtopic, I just had a look and the earliest accounts on this board (RealWorld etc.) were May 2002-ish. So there's accounts spanning about 10 years. The main site's news archive runs all the way back to March 2002 (http://maidenfans.com/archive/2002-2006)

    True, but SMF tends to go further... http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=stats

    New Forum Broken Something?

    Closest thing to the old stats I can find is the members page - there's a list of the highest posting members there, and the number of posts is displayed on mouse-over. http://forum.maidenfans.com/members/ SMF was quite unusual in tracking all those stats and having a page where they're all...

    New Forum Broken Something?

    I looked into this. As we use the default Xenforo theme with some colour changes and a header, it's a problem with their theme. Basically, the width of the reply field is set when the page is loaded. Other people have complained about it, but it seems the developers don't have a good idea for a...

    New Forum Broken Something?

    I really appreciate the gesture, but I'm lucky enough to be able to comfortably afford to maintain the site, and the main thing for me is that everyone who uses the sites gets the best experience and has a good time here.

    New Forum Broken Something?

    It does cost money, but that's not uncommon among the top tier forum software (Xenforo, VBulletin, IPB ) - the $140 is an initial charge, additional years of support & upgrades are more like $40, the way I see it paying for the product means they're motivated to work to improve and maintain it.

    New Forum Broken Something?

    Sorry about that - found the setting to turn it on for normal users now - I'd thought it was like that already. If you look again, you should have it.
