Gasroom 2.1
Hey kids. This is your new look Gasroom. Things of note...
- Quoting is now much more space friendly - @AlanCecil and @micra I think you'll like it
- You can finally upload images - just in time for everyone's Wembley pics
- The site is now responsive, so it should work on any screen size (personally, I have it zoomed in a bit Cmd+plus on a Mac, dunno how you do it on Windows) including mobile
- It should be a lot faster
- The thumbs function now contributes towards the "Best Of..." feature in the menu up top there. Highly upvoted posts will always be easy to find. Moderators get an extra button too called "promote" which is basically the equivalent of 5 votes or something, so we can help highlight particularly useful posts. Too many downvotes and a post will self destruct. Or something, I don't know what yet. I trust you all to be grown ups and use these features responsibly.
- All the old posts are there, but the new version stores the data slightly differently, so this means quotes in old posts still look like they did before, and emoji in old posts is broken, which you'll notice especially in the Wordle threads.

Oh, and on desktop you can always get back to the main discussions page by clicking the Wanderers badge in the top left or the big 2 in the centre of the header. On mobile that 2 is the quickest way back to the main page.
Fantastic stuff Dr C
Oh and ALSO, all the old thumbs data has been expunged. Clean slate for everyone.
Crikey, I keep forgetting extra things. I asked the rest of my company nicely if they'd mind me sticking it on a server in our data centre and they were fine with it. Pretty sure I can write that off as marketing budget thanks to the tiny link to Hactar down there in the footer.
Thank you Doctor, we are all more deeply in your debt
Safari currently showing a '?' in place of the the top left WWFC badge for me.
Thank you Doctor, we are all more deeply in your debt
Double posts are still a thing then. @arnos_grove I see that in a private tab too, thanks, I'll fix.
@arnos_grove Working for you now?
@drcongo yes mate - it's a triumph!🥇
Amazing. I think I'm done for the evening.
Oooh, just noticed, if you click on someone's profile now you can see how many of the new style thumbs they've earned.
Fantastic work, @drcongo! The Gasroom was already an upwardly mobile L1 forum. Now we are no longer "Little Gasroom", but can mix it with the best of them!
I'm 100% disliked. Start as you mean to go on!
Top stuff @drcongo
It's so shiny
Excellent work, and no server error messages from a domain which appears to be hosted in Iceland.
Hactar, as Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fans will know, was an incredibly powerful computer which started the Krikkit War.
Great stuff @drcongo
Many thanks for all you do here.
Great work sir.
Love the browser icon
Lots of thumbs up to the good doctor
Looking good! Just one thing: is the point where the quarters at the top meet supposed to so blurry? I thought my eyes had got even worse!
Great work, thank you very much.
It's to simulate the current shirt.
Make sense - I'll get used to it
Is not being able to see the original poster from the front page a deliberate decision? We can still see the latest poster - we used to be able to see the first as well.
OOh this looks very swish.
Topics on the right hand side, threads on the left will take some getting used to :)
Awesome work @drcongo ! Just in time for our first, in person, promotion to Tier 2 of English Football! COYB!
Thanks @drcongo
Any chance of a link to the main menu at the foot of each page?
