Our forums have just been updated to 4.2. We will also be installing a new skin soon to bring them inline with the main PCS website.

Any problem or bugs please post the here. :)

My suspicions were first aroused when I opened Chrome (with PCS being one of the default pages of course) to be met with an "Activity Stream". Will spend the next 2 hours looking for other new bits and bobs, and then have lunch :D

Good to see the forums are being neglected after the improvements you made to the main site PCS :)

Took a minute to get used to the activity stream

Firefox doesn't have the activity stream (least not that I've found) :(, so I dunno what I'm missing til I get home this evening.
I use Firefox at work cos it bypasses the software that blocks you seeing numerous web sites :)

Edit: actually thats wrong, you can get to it, but only if you go to the New Posts page and then it appears in the drop down menus at the top, but you only seem to see it as a menu option on that one page (that I've found already).

Edit 2: Pressing the 'Whats New' button in takes you directly to the activity stream as well

Yeh I saw that Rakky, doesn't seem to appear on the index page :)

I also noticed a new Rep section in your profile to show "Latest Rep Given" which is a nice addition (just need the full history of both now, instead of just the last few :D )

When you look at a profile page (your own or anyone else's) it no longer shows the rep number, it shows some green bar and mine tells me 'I have a brilliant future' ...., personally, I prefered the actual number. I see the message on the green bar changes dependent on rep, but still, I like to see the actual number :)

Don't worry, it will be sorted soon :)

Afraid I prefer the old skin, luckily I can easily change back :)

All the menus, menu text and stuff is a bit bigger - height wise and width wise, the screen is definitely wider, a scroll bar appeared when I changed from the old to the new - I know this doesn't really make a difference if youve got it full-screened, but I like having mine in a window that doesn't take up the whole screen.

Also, I like blue, so the old skin was good in my books :)

You're never happy are you ;)

I think the only thing that niggles with me is when opening the forums it goes to the activity screen. My preference would be for it to open how it used too :)

Correct! - though it was mostly the fact that everything was slightly bigger that I didn't like

But yeah, whilst at work on Firefox, it opens on the actual forums rather than the activity screen and I like it that way, but when at home using Chrome I know its going to open on the activity screen and I'd rather it didn't either.
