    Sorry dark theme users if you've been flashbanged this evening. Every major IPB update I wipe the theme and apply our changes afresh (thereby wiping your default selected theme).

      Seems to be fine now

      Yep, fixed now

  2. proffrink

    This is the newest IPB version and I imagine the old skin we were using is not compatible with it yet so yeh. It's pretty awful though and makes really poor use of the space.

      Tried to go on WaybackMachine to get a comparison (couldn't get one) but maybe you can see what I mean. Even for 16:9 the main body is a fair bit smaller and that really reduces functionality.

      Someone has a big monitor.. just made it fluid (80%). Any better?

    4. proffrink

      Much better, thanks.

      And yeh :D

    Is anyone in direct contact with Sam or anyone else at Kingdom of Airsoft? I'm trying his email but getting no response.

      I think for the people i know that had work done by him it was the constant excuses rather than just saying "look I'm snowed under please bare with me" then posting pics of his own builds and tech work that should have taken a back seat to paying customers

      Governor

      Best way to get in touch with him was via facebook. He is most active on the TM Recoil groups!

      Sent a Gun with over 500£ worth of upgrades in august last year got it back last week! took maybe 2 months between replies possibly longer

    Any suggestions for colour of Cerakote on an AK? Probably just going to get black.

      Not that any of you are interested but I've ignored all suggestions and gone with sniper grey (what is it about American gun-related companies and horribly cringey names?): https://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/finishes/H-234Q/sniper-grey/

       

      But seriously thanks all. I did look at all the proposed colours.

      After seeing the new VFC Saber SD in grey I was going to suggest that.

    Some of you are leaving feedback in the old place. That's fine, but you may lose it if/when we move over to the new feedback system.

     

    As such, you may wish to double-up and also leave feedback through the new system too by going here: https://airsoft-forums.uk/feedback/

     

    We're looking into ways in which we might be able to migrate old feedback to the new system if we keep it, but this is not guaranteed.

      If it can be transferred it's a manual job, so might not happen. Old feedback will always be visible when linked to at a minimum, however.

    A lot of you may be interested to know that Rainbow8 are now stocking Mk23 NBB magazines: http://www.rainbow8.com/collections/marui-magazine/products/tokyo-marui-28rd-magazine-for-mk23-fixed-gas-pistol

    Got around to applying the new logo. Please let me know if this cocks up anywhere on the site as it's a scalable vector (which IPB doesn't support by default) so it's a bit hacked in.

      Oh and it's 'new' in the loosest sense.

    Does anyone have recommendations for Cerakote-ers in the UK?

      Thanks. I was also looking at LWA who offer pistol frame and slide for £50, but I can't find any reviews on them.

      Mike Cripps does pistols and I imagine other things,

      riflecraft.co.uk will also do airsoft stuff.

  9. proffrink

    Can someone try uploading some images to an advert and see if it works? I'm getting an error when I do.

      Meant to add this to description:

      2nd one needs attention as it runs a bit RRRRUUUUUUUFFFFFFF

      (I'll get my coat)

    4. proffrink

      proffrink

      Well at least it's working for you guys.

      Thanks for the help :)

      Ok, I've deleted your adverts/threads now too so that you don't have to suffer through the embarrassment of having a cross-armed smiling man in a camo onesie on your phone and ready to go.

  10. proffrink

    Which one of you is responsible for this

      I've already found them, but I want them to know what they've done.

      So wait a sec.. does this mean the thread takes a photo within the discussion and displays it as it's thumbnail?

       

      brb

    4. proffrink

      proffrink

      Yes. The first posted image becomes the thumb.

       

      This is dangerous information.

    Latest batch of patch orders will go out Monday. Final chance to order for October (if you were considering doing so).

      skintrade

      Any idea when this batch will arrive with us?

    3. proffrink

      proffrink

      Depends when you ordered. Not all of them made it into that lot, but I'm going to send out another batch tomorrow as well as quite a lot of new supporter patches need to be sent.

    4. skintrade

      skintrade

      No probs, order was October 3rd if that helps

  12. proffrink

    Merry Christmas all. Hope you all find BFGs under your trees.

      I cut out the middle(wo)man (Santa/Wife) and bought myself a gun.   


      So there's no 'hope' about it now ...

      I wholeheartedly recommend this approach :D

      Not a happy ducky, new classifieds didn't work for me

      So looks like I'm keep my bad boy B500A1

       

      muchas gracias to the team for all your recent efforts

      you have gone more than just the extra mile to revamp this place

      much obliged sir

  15. proffrink

    IPB update has broken the classifieds. Fixing now.

    1. proffrink

      proffrink

      Fixed, but now missing the warnings about feedback. Will fix that this evening.

      Let me know if you find any bugs or whatever as this is a reasonably large update.

    2. MisterG

      MisterG

      I think the smileys aren't as good as before.

    3. proffrink

      proffrink

      That's probably not a bug. Go post in the forum suggestions :)

  16. proffrink

    Good time to remind everyone that the forums do have a Twitter and Facebook account used almost exclusively for tracking any down time and making announcements on any maintenance or crashes.

     

    Might be worth checking the links at the bottom of the page so that you know where to check if there's an next time (here's hoping there's not)

      Plus it's well good for sending sad reaction GIFs to Proff to keep his morale up.

      I am not one of the twatterati so have never looked there. And have never used f-book.

  17. proffrink

    Forums were down again due to an issue identical to the one from the other day. Looking into it.

    1. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      Good effort on fixing it so quickly! :D

    2. proffrink

      proffrink

      Well it was the same issue so took about 2 minutes :)

  18. proffrink

    A lot of new faces around here apparently

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Hah, I've just been promoted to "Rookie".  One day I hope to reach the exalted combat rank of "Mostly Harmless."

    2. MiK

      MiK

      @Rogerborg never gonna happen :P

  19. proffrink

    Brace for spam, I just approved 3 pages of members who've been waiting since last year and were in the spam filter. Some look legitimate but many might not be.

    1. proffrink

      proffrink

      Usually they're just sat to fester for a bit but it's getting a bit silly. Let's see if those Swiss or Philippine accounts are spammers or not :)

  20. proffrink

    Merry Christmas all!

    Spam issue has been addressed with the addition of an extra plugin that claims to help. We'll see I suppose...

    1. proffrink

      proffrink

      Well, that didn't quite work. Back to the drawing board.

  22. proffrink

    Done testing the new anti-bumping stuff. Thanks for all your help (you did nothing to help).

    1. Prisce

      Prisce

       Very welcome. Any time you need assistance like that again, don’t hesitate to ask!:D:lol:

  23. proffrink

    Server restart tonight. Could be 5 minutes, could be 15. Don't panic.

    1. L3wisD

      My reaction when I find the forum down again

       

      dLj4hxU.gif

  24. proffrink

    So it turns out that forum-breaking bug is still very much alive and kicking.

     

    Apologies guys, but do have slightly more to go on this time as I ruled out some stuff last time this happened.

    Expect the ban hammer to come down hard and fast if you're going to be a racist on here. Thanks for the reports people.
