Because I like the other version better I've been using it for over a year.
Now I'm switching back to the one you guys use and say is so much better
I don't like it except for its Admin panel is a lot easier to use.

I've just been too lazy (I know everyone will back me up on this...) to keep with the forum. Not too long ago, the forum had been running version 3.0.4, which was the same version used when rebuilding the crash. Gillson just updated it to the latest version: 3.0.9 not too long ago.

One bonus on getting up to 3.0.9 is that there are themes that can be downloaded. If people think think that the 2 themes, recommended to the admins to download themes that they may want to use.

Installing themes isn't that hard, and I'm sure Gillson can handle it pretty well.

Yes, I know my cheaply made graphics for both themes suck. I just didn't want to see both boards say "PhpBB", so I just threw something together for both themes in about 5 minutes. I picked the 1 and 2 tracks kind of a "theme 1" and "theme 2", emphasis on the track signs. Apparently I was wrong.

I can't do anything about changing the artwork now due obviously to my health, and also due to the summer, and also because I'm no artist. I can put templates together, that being how I got the cheap-ass signs together.

I think there are other artists signed up on this forum who could maybe make something better than me (perhaps an actual working signal?) and I can place them accordingly, and remove any 1 track references.

Please, now that the forum has more people, let's work together to make each other happy. I certainly need it...

I guess it's hard to be when you're on call 24/7 with taking care of the crossings that I've seen. Some are even confusing to a noob to me. Guess I'l pick my words a little more careful next time. :Okay:
