Yeah, 20s here, I definitely had to wait due to a timeout. Gave me time to research rather than guess, though.Cass wrote:Hopefully it won't be hard for people, but may be for those under 30

Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

Aw shucks, I didn't really do anything.Cass wrote:Gah, I can't remember everything people tell me in bars
Your advice & encouragement were obviously huge factors in getting this finally done, so thanks bud!
I had noticed the volume of posts had decreased a lot over the past year or two, but didn't know why. I guess it was the lack of new registrations.Craig wrote:By my count we have 19 new members already since the upgrade, although two of them look like spammers. I kinda doubt people in Estonia or the Cook Islands care about the Ontario beer scene. That's terrific! The place could use the fresh blood.
The new forum looks good.

I noticed certain users have been promoted to Beer Superstars. Is that a post count thing?

Yep, looks like you have to hit 1000 posts, then 2000 posts to get the special titles.
Yeah, I was playing around with the rank functionality, which we didn't have with the old board. Haven't really given it much thought so made up some arbitrary titles. But it would probably be fun to put more in place, so if anyone has any ideas please post them up!

It's all so modern looking. Feels like when Muskoka re-branded from cottage brewery to, um, brewery. Great work. Excited for new members.

Maybe anyone under 100 posts can be a "lager lover" or something mildly beer insulting, to encourage them to post moreCass wrote:Yeah, I was playing around with the rank functionality, which we didn't have with the old board.

That is kind of what I'm thinking - it would be fun to have ranks that encourage more posting.

Lager lover isn't fair.
