New forum style & logo applied and set to default -- you can change back to the old style in your account settings.

Disabled the @tagging system -- it was causing too many conflicts with npc scripts etc.

Added an awards system to work in conjunction with our seasonal LOMCN awards (award medals are now displayed in postbit) -- we'll make full use of this in the new year.

Added a raffles system -- we should have some freebies to giveaway over Christmas :P

Disabled the Top 10 Stats from top of the board -- not necessarily permanent.

Enabled collapsable sidebar widgets on forumhome -- latest posts are now displayed here along with other things.

Disabled the dark skins -- not necessarily permanent it's just too much work keeping 8 different styles up to date.

Created a staff Twitter account (@LOMCN, follow us!) -- a good way to stay connected even during downtime.

Reinstated the Kings Mir3 Server Help section

Removed twisterdmk as Mir3 Advisor/Moderator

Added Geordiehc as Mir 3 Advisor/Moderator

Threads now display 15 posts per page -- was 30.

Minor 'under the hood' tweaks -- bigger ones to come soon! *stares at Dataforce & Hazuki*

Did you use the cacher I sent?

Installed vbo but didn't use memcache as DF didn't think it was worth it due to the server spec, but he does need to install some kind of cacher for vbo to work, unsure of the latest on that.

tell mr DF that it is worth it because a query saved is a query earned. I save around 2 million a day using it. Although you could try xcache instead but VB will benefit largely especially when enabled on the config.php.
