Wolf3d Haven Forum

There is a new Login Page. Actaully, if you are reading this from www.wolf3d.darkbb.com, you have already seen it.

Tell me what you think.

Recently, a few crazy things have happened to the forums, such as the intro page and change of theme. Anyways, I am happy to announce all of that crazy stuff has been reverted.
Enjoy.

Edit: The default message you get from registering has been fixed.

Hi!
Today I modified to smilies so that:

Some observant people have realized that the Wolf3d Mod section and Haven News section's thread display page is different from all the rest.
This has been fixed.
Most members seem to dislike the new layout anyways.

Well, it is the most wonderful time of the year.
We had Thanksgiving (USA), Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and whatever else you celebrated. There are still many holidays ahead.
I decided to add some snowflakes to the forums.
Happy Holidays!

HI guys. The deadline of the mapping contest is the first of October. Don't forget, it's just plain ol' mapping.

The chatbox seems to be working again now.

However, it doesn't time out users and it still doesn't refresh messages. I have reported the problems to Forumotion who said they'd do some checks.

Sorry guys, I forgot i was using Chrome browser. It always deletes the words i typed.
I wrote something along the lines of chatbox problem escalating into forum shutdown.
