Oh, I missed that, sorry. I'm still getting used to the new forum style, the links sometimes blend a little too well with the surrounding text.

That's something we could fix, really. I've also been thinking of making a dark theme, for those that prefer it.

Do we have any serious outstanding issues besides search right now?

So, I just got my first bit of spam through the forum's contact email. It's hopefully nothing serious, given that the message feature doesn't require registration, but do keep an eye out for another wave of spambots.

I've never been around for a proper spambot wave, I don't think. I'll try to keep my morbid curiosity on the low.

I think there was a time a year or so ago where a couple of weird accounts registered, but other than that, nothing really.

Can anyone remind me, what was the URL before AK took over? [pastelforum.com]?

That was the domain we moved to after AK took over. Before that (as I eventually found out using web.archive.org) we were hosted at pastelportal.com/forum, and before that, pastelforum.com.

Oh duh. I thought it was weird you were asking for the forum we just moved from, because I didn't read carefully. lol

The new banner looks great! A design suggestion: if possible, can we move it off the top boundary of the page so it doesn't look like it's glued there? A bit of a margin will help it sit better, I think.

Also, I feel like the background color scheme should be changed to reflect it. Something not too deep and saturated, but maybe a light bluish-gray? Keep the rest of the design the same though.

Also also, I've wanted to bring this up for a while, but maybe with this background change we can move the background logo somewhere where you can actually see it if we decide to keep it, because as of right now it's basically non-functioning with all the posts on top of it.
