the facebook part sounds amazing I can't wait!

[Robulosity]

Some stuff is being removed mind you

- Jukebox (although it hasn't been here for a while)
- Attack Shop will be retired for a while
- Arcade will be gone for a bit to

Some of the tools the VIPs have unlimited access to (like above) will be gone for probably a month or two just until the site is proven stable.  Bi daily back ups will be run as well

[SuperSven]

Simone and Matthew will die without the arcade!

[Robulosity]

Its temporary,

The new site code is built from Scratch.. IP.Board 2.3.x uses Php, mysql, JScript and CSS

The new site will use much of the same, plus Ajax (much like facebook) and has a new directory structure and mod system.. so we will be at the mercy of the makers of the Arcade for a new release.  It may be possible to delay the roll out until the 3.x version of the Arcade releases which is currently in testing

[Princess of Darkness]

The Beta site is up for testing


Please visit http://ipb3.secretso...s.com/index.php

- Log in with your SAME information on this site (If your password is invalid reset it on that site.. This only resets the password on ibp3 NOT the current site)
- If you want to Associate your facebook account with your forum account to test this is a bit difficult due to the skin not being complete yet and some information not being *visible*
    - Visit http://ipb3.secretso.......ook&do=show , you will see a Facebook connect button click it
        - Enter your facebook login information (This is done on facebook NOT the SSF)
        - Follow the steps provided
        - Visit http://ipb3.secretso.......ook&do=show a second time
        - If you are Using IE8 this will not work, not sure about IE7 or Firefox 2.. Does work in Firefox 3 since it can see invisible elements.. Check off all 3 boxes and Click the FIRST blank button
       - Click on the thumb nail of your self on the top left of the site



Current provisioned features

        - Gallery (Not Working ATM)
        - Forums (Working)
        - Personal Messages
        - RSS (Once published you can subscribe to feeds  and get updates with out us actually emailing you - its the button that looks like this
        - Personal Messenger

Please remeber, THIS IS A BETA so things may not work properly and we do NOT want you using this instead of the live site to do anything other than provide feedback. Also the graphics are not complete so some stuff may be confusing.. If you see an Icon with a + it means "Create" or New a negative means delete etc etc

Say what the error or what it is doing may help...

I just tested it and the page loads fine, it just has the rendering problems described in my original post
