If you've been attentive, you've noticed a few things around here have changed. Most notably the addition of a few subforums! Spinner and I have added a few more subforums for more organization. For example, if you're looking for a repair that isn't on any website, try checking the SSCentral Repair forum for topics with a tested fix in them. If someone'd like to see some more subforums, I'm sure as long as they'd get use it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Another change is our new Board Rules. Pretty much the same thing there, just a little was added and I tried to make it clearer for some. I also added a part about why the rules are here, if you've been wondering why we have rules I'd highly suggest checking that out.

A less notable change occurred in the Lo-Fi Version of our forums. I played around with the skin a bit and am in the process of fixing a few problems with it. You should also note that I made the old quotes (quotes made before our IPB 2.0 upgrade) look about the same as the new quotes in there.

There appears to be a bit missing out of this:
Use correct punctuation -- posts made in all capital letters are Do not make all of your posts as a single paragraph

Yes, I noticed a few errors like that. Also check out this:
As yourself, before you hit the post button, does your post comply with ALL of the following?
(should be ask)

I'll get to fixing those. Apparently writing these rules in a word processor isn't enough!

edit: Both problems fixed and a title added to the page (previously was rules.html). Hopefully in a printer-friendly format like this some of our worse-off member could sit down and read our rules.

Yeah, it wouldn't really look great if you had spelling and grammatical errors in you rules on spelling and grammer. Hey, that's funny..

The original sentence actually still works grammatically - although one does wonder who else you might be before you hit the post button? :blink: <_<

It never is. ;) The spell checker can make sure that all your words conform to its dictionary, but it can't guess your intentions if the 'mis-spelling' is also a dictionary word. Thus resulted a rather funny poem which I can't fully remember - the first line ran thus: I have a spilling chequer - it came with my pea sea (etc.) :rolleyes:
Every day, in every way, they're getting wetter and wetter.
