Hi all,

As you can probably tell the forum looks a little different now. I'm pleased to say we have successfully migrated everything across from the old vBulletin forum to a new version using XenForo. vB served us well but with XenForo we can improve the site much easier going forward and also offers us much better functionality.

We still have a lot of things to finalise but everything should be in a usable state for now. The layout has been kept almost identical to what it was before in order to ease the transition but we intend to make some changes to the way the main page looks soon.


In the mean time there is bound to be some bugs and glitches that we've missed (i.e. incorrect permissions somewhere) so if you find anything please let us know here


Edit: Special thanks to @Martyn @Chriz @DiabloVodkaShot for their help

Nice upgrade!

Is there any way to change this theme to a darker one ? This white hurts my eyes :(

Actually... not too bad. I approve.

Definitely needs a Dark Theme +1 to that idea.

ooo all new....

Not a biggie but for me the default link to lomcn is the sign in page. When your already signed in brings you to a Oopps! We Ran Into Problems! window. Gives the impression the site is down.

Like the layout of being able to see peoples profile posts and see latest posts across multiple pages instead of just last few.

I likies :)

Site is fully responsive, what you see is the full site just made a little easier to view and use on an mobile.

What you having issue with doing?

The layout just seems completely off on phone, like you can't see new posts or anything and it looks really dated.

If I could get the layout you posted a picture of a bit further up, that would be ideal.

Nice modernisation 👍🏻 Bringing MIR further into the current. I feel like I’ve just started a new server and want to get levelling 😏

Took me abit to navigate all areas but once you know where to click to get all the bits up (like server status etc) it’s nice 👍🏻
