  1. I meant make another skin for us to use & let us choose which one we want by the skins option

    That's on the todo list, but don't expect it for quite some time.

    @ iProton - I decided not to install a rep mod, as the next version of Invision (which is in development now)will have rep built in.


  2. I’m always interested in getting feedback from members on the site/forum, and any suggestions for improvements.

    Since the new forum is now finished, what are your thoughts/first impressions? Do you see any areas that can be changed/improved?

    The website is currently being reworked and we hope to be able to re-launch it soon, however for the meantime, until the site is complete, a redirect will remain in place.


  3. Here it is

    0.2d KITT in the VC Storyline with

    -New and Improved rocket launcher

    -In Car Autocruise

    -Less troublesome on foot autocruise

    -New buttonpresses (READ THE README!!!)

    Download Here!

    And please read the readme. If there is no problems........I'll decided what to do with it outside the forums. Just a test run here.

    Oh yeah, I only played up to back alley brawl. Already aware of the gxt error at the beginning, but it's no big deal. And most important, save often. You will be less angry.


  4. After a week of hard work, we are pleased to welcome you to the brand new Back To The Future: Hill Valley forums.

    We’ll get the bad news out of the way now, unfortunately we could not convert the database from the old forum to the new version of Invision Power Board, meaning we had to start from scratch, hence you will need to re-register your account.

    We do however want to stress that this move was the right decision to make, with the old forum (Invision 1.3.1) being last officially updated in 2004, and with supportability under MySQL5 and PHP5 patchy at best, it was in everyone’s best interests to switch to a more up-to-date version of the forum software.

    Here is the list of current modules that have been installed on the forum:

    IP Gallery

    IP Downloads

    IP Arcade

    IP Tracker - Bug reporting tool

    IP Shoutbox

    Ability to post Video Tags the same was as Image tags

    Group Title Permissions*

    Auto Warn Level Reduce v1.0.0

    Dead Topic Protection 1.0.0

    Pips & Team Icons v1.1*

    iFont (this has limitations however, not all colours are working at the moment)*

    Member Group Colour 2.1.2 (shows group member colour in topic view and profile)*

    Signature Permissions (allows us to disable a members signature)*

    * Feature does not apply to standard members/may only be available to admins/mods

    Member rankings are back, as before, they are based on a users post count, levels are below:

    0 - Physicist

    20 - Junior Time Traveler

    50 - Quantum Physicist

    88 - Time Traveler

    100 - Docs Assistant

    500 - Einstein

    1000 - Jennifer Parker

    1500 - Verne Brown

    2000 - Jules Brown

    2500 - Clara Brown

    3000 - Marty McFly

    5000 - Emmett "Doc" Brown

    We are also now pleased to offer subscription packages which will enable you to enhance your forum experience, more information on these packages can be found on the following link: http://www.bttfhillvalley.co.uk/forum/inde...view=getnewpost

    Example of using the new video tag code:

    Simply enter the link to the video you want to post using the 
    
    [video][/video] tags
    
    
    
    For example, entering 
    
    [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQyBpYd_8Zw[/video] 
    
    would produce what is shown below.

    ">
    " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" />

  5. We are pleased to now be able to offer a subscription package to our members, we currently have a subscription package which will enable to you to gain access to extra forum features, and will give you access to competitions and pre-release betas of the next version of the mod.

    A run down of features in the package can be found below:

    IFT Investor: $3.75 Monthly

    * Can edit own topics title and description

    * Icon and/or coloured name

    * Can edit own member title

    * Can lock own topics

    * Group name: Advanced Subscriber

    * Private chat forum

    * Post Wrapper – Ability to set your preferred font/colour/size which is stored by the board

    * Can remove 'Edited By' line

    * Can PM Multiple recipients

    * Increased PM Storage - 500 messages

    * Bypass flood control

    * Regular competitions with varying prizes

    * Arcade - Unlimited games

    * Can change own display name

    For added convenience the package has the option of paying on a monthly or annual basis.

    It is important that we point out that this package is not mandatory, the standard member package, is, and always will be free of charge.

    This package is being offered as a way for members to enhance their forum experience, as well as helping contribute to the ongoing costs of running the site.

    A final thought to consider is that most/all of the features that are being offered in the package, have not been available to members under the old forum.

    Thanks for your understanding and support.

    The BTTF HV Team.

  7. Due to recent activity, the decision has been made to reinstate the boards warning system, please see the below post for an explanation on warning levels.

    Warning levels and what they mean

    0% You're good to go

    25% Account Suspended for 3 hours

    50% Account Suspended for 24 hours

    75% Account Suspended for 1 week

    100% Banned pernamently

    Warnings are reset after one month of no bad things after account is suspended (so if you're suspended for one week, you gotta wait 4 weeks before it's reset)

    Edit: edited 25% warning to 3 hour suspension of account. If not severe, I will give a posting warning, but won't alter the warning level. Do it again, or do it RIGHT after i posted not to do it will earn you a ban for 3 hours and an increased warning level.
