I suppose for now it would be fine. If it ends up getting too clogged with ZC threads there might come a time where a split would be necessary. Nothing against ZC, but it's not the same as rom hacking, and there's lots of ZC forum communities out there already, aren't there?
Oh there are, but I know there are a couple of fans on this board that don't go to pureZC. :p

I'm more of a fan of (NES) Zelda hacking than ZC, but if somebody points out a good ZC quest, I'll give it a whirl. As a matter of fact, I wanted to try out your ZC quest, Crys.

@Shadox
Those are current builds of ZC 2.50
(ZC have warned us that bugs still exist in these builds and to use these builds at our own risk).

ZC have created a ZC 2.10 update for Vista and 7 which you can find at ZeldaClassic.com.

While you are correct, I've yet to face a single problem in my days of using those builds. I assume it's up to you, but I like what I have, thank you.

Some 2.5 builds are very stable... others are not. I use 2.5 myself due to the shear number of new futures it have.

Feel like I opened a little can of worms, but regardless, thanks for the links / info, guys 'n' gals. :^_^:

Edit: The forum used to offer me a popup if I'd received any PMs.  Is this going to be added back in?

Also, it seems I am no longer able to merge posts via button.  I'm assuming that is due to the update as well?

What has happened to the phrases that appeared at the top of this website such as:
"Don't eat the frostbite."
or "Raising Metroid to a higher level."

Admins often saying: "Is it working? Is it working normally? If yes, don't touch anything, don't change anything"

Was it really nessesary to switch to version 2? For now, current version is not so functional as 1.14 was. Only one advantage I see is when you're saving attach like "patch.asm", it saves as "patch.asm", not "index.txt" or so.

As for disadvantages:
1. Topics with new messages no longer bolded.
2. Formatting text table is not active.
3. Awards aren't present in current version.
4. It takes more time to load.
5. And where is board jumper? I mean, Small textbox allowing to jump from one board to another.
6. PM page is looking ugly. Maybe, only with my browser, but forum in general looks fine. (I'll post a pic later)
7. Besides of that, some users (at least me and Phason) are having a problems when browsing the forum

Don't think that I'm not a thankful dude, but I just don't want to get the second m2k2 here.

Support was discontinued for the older version of the forum and had several security holes patched since.

Side effect of the updated skin for use with the new forum. I can probably fix this, but I haven't had a lot of time to do detective work recently.

3. Awards aren't present in current version.
Both were from plugins either discontinued by the plugin authors or incompatible with the latest version of the forum.

Well, several things have been fixed since then, some of them things that I had not been knowing about for quite a while. Two of the most recent fixes were to attachments breaking on spaces and guests not being able to view them, among the lacking awards system and CSS problems that contributed to user confusion. Let me know if there's any other problems to address that anyone has noticed.

Attached files with .txt extension are still losing their name when you are trying to save them. By default, the forum suggest to save the attached file as "index". No problems with other extensions detected.
