To be fair, I did crack a smile as "has upgrade stop". And I'm a cynical bastard.

Would everyone agree that the new forum back colours are purple and yellow with gold lettering

What medication have the doctors put you on now!?

My personal life is of huge interest also..

Sad really

Has upgrade stopped coming

Where are the new smileys?

on their way.

They are all locked in a cupboard at Digital Spy HQ waiting to be let free on to the new forum, some are happy, some are confused and some are crying.

January? They are installing software not building a bloody house

You flatter yourself. Just a couple of comments in passing.

But no-one is saying which January.

The forum is similar to Homes Under the Hammer though in this case they are not renovating it but demolishing it and reusing the bricks and tiles. Probably on second thoughts more like Grand Designs.

Don't forget they're probably taking some time off Chrimbo & New Year, anything from 3 days up to 17.

It was a corker Les.

Perhaps this is the upgrade and they've deliberately designed it this way to stop long term members (like me) bitching and complaining that it didn't look this way in 2000 and 16 years later anything else is witchcraft.

I heard they're going back to the original look of the forum.
