dBoard 2.0 is available for testing at:
This is a complete copy of the board as of sometime this past Sunday. When testing is complete the main board will be upgraded to the new software. Reasons for helping test dBoard 2.0:
Here's a list of things that need testing. Report bugs to this thread. Posting to a thread in the test forum is fine, except that with mad directors on the loose they might become lost. Ideas for things to test:
That's a good outline, though I'm sure I left plenty out. All help very much appreciated.

AdminMod won't be able to hit it with a spanner until Thursday, but I'll happily shout at it in Russian occasionally in the meantime. Might I request Phenomenal Cosmic Power/Director status, even if it is only an itty Bitty Testing Space?

Hey, come on folks!
Director privileges - just request them on this thread! No moderation! Set up the board the way you want (check out what I've done to the appearance). http://test.///cgi-bin/dBoard.cgi

I haven't checked out all the improved features, but I much prefer the 'white text on dark blue background' appearance of the old forum. It is much nicer to read from. The pale backgrounds of the new appearance seem kind of washed out. JMHO.
Can't anything be done to replace the narrow text entry box? It's just annoying to work in. It's one reason so many people like myself feel compelled to compose in Word and then cut and paste.

The pale backgrounds of the new appearance seem kind of washed out. JMHO. The appearance of this board will not change, but anyone who has director status at the test copy of the board can change the appearance there. I changed the appearance to demonstrate how easily it could be done. I spent all of a minute changing it, so the shades of color chosen probably aren't a good match.

An upcoming enhancement will allow you to set the size of the reply box through the preferences on your profile page.

I've set your password at the test board to 1234 - recommend you go over there and change it.
Thanks for finding this - biggest bug found so far!

Can only current mods request authority to bind and to loose on the beta? Or can mere mortals play as well? I've always wondered what it was you guys do all day. Besides play virtual strip poker in the Admin forum, of course. (Not only that, but I've harbored a secret desire to suspend Jar since the end of the last Ice Age. )

All may play. It's encouraged, in fact! You're now a director over on the test board. Suspend Jar to your heart's content - he's already suspended himself once already!
