Am I imagining things, or have the social media buttons disappeared?
When will the "Welcome Back" splash go away? I've been back and back and back and yet I'm still seeing:
Is there a way to set the colours in the forum? I would like to set it a bit darker somehow...
There should now be a drop list at the bottom of the page from which you can select different styles. Over time we'll be adding to those if people express interest.

The server change and software upgrade was necessary. vBulletin 4.x has bugs and security problems that will never be fixed.
You need the latest versions of current browsers, and at least Windows 7.
I'm happy that the social media things were removed, as I could not think of even one possible use for them. I have no issue with the Like button.
As for the rest of the forum, firstly HTTPS and the latest cyphers are here to stay. Also, the javascript is part of the forum software, so that won't be going anywhere either. You need the latest versions of current browsers, and at least Windows 7. If you really want an unprotected old-skool forum, you're quite free to make your own.
I don't know about the Inbox issues, as I have no items.
Things that I know are still problems (the last time I looked)
- Loss of avatars
- Cannot choose an avatar from the server library
- The little lights above the join date - what are they for? Do they work? I notice TH2002 has 2 bars lit up, but nobody else does.
- Reports of multiquote not working (haven't tried it myself)
- Reports of text disappearing when editing (haven't encountered it myself).
- Wrong copyright date at the bottom of the page (© 2002-2019 Vintage Computer Federation)
- Probably a few other things that I can't recall right now (my memory isn't the best).
Keep up the good work admins.
I don't care about the HTTPS. Like I said not a deal breaker for me. And yes I know the JS login is part of the forum software but that shouldn't be stopping the mods from creating a separate login page that isn't JS-based.

Yeah I noticed those bars as well. Mine were all white at first. I really do wonder what those are.VERAULT has those bars lit up as well. Not sure what they are for. Maybe based on the number of likes your posts have received? Probably part of the forum software.

I expected the "Old School" theme to look similar to the previous color scheme here. Instead it nearly made my eyes bleed!There should now be a drop list at the bottom of the page from which you can select different styles. Over time we'll be adding to those if people express interest.
