Complete Mania Website Overhaul/Change

As we approach the second anniversary of A3 Mania, we are planning many things here.

I will be working along with Numenor (who is willing to help in his extremely busy schedule) to change the main website completely to a new interface, etc etc. Forum will be untouched. Existing user IDs will remain.

We might merge the forum to the main website as well, removing many custom modifications. (Its a maybe)

So you might find the ACP down for a day or two. We will move it to temporary address and it will be communicated to everyone. You can also access the ACP from the forum if we dont add a temporary domain for it. The link is above or click here. http://forum.a3mania.com/page.php?p=ingameacp

Eshop/Ticketing, will be made up first on a priority basis.

For Guides and etc, you can refer to the forum and help from other community members; till the new website and ACP come up.

Warrior on behalf of A3 Mania GM Team.

Changes to the main website is done. Still needs some finishing. Will do it slowly.
Moving on to forums. Will remove all modification and install the forum from scratch. Users, Topics and forums will be retained. Will keep only required modifications. Currently testing the migrations on a test replicated forum install.

Lets see. I am still working on it. Should take a lot of time. First I will test everything on the replicated forum then I will implement here.

too much of confusion in using this new forum outlook.. cant' see where the "new posts button" etc by which we could access latest posts .

and in the main website there used to be showing the new topics when clicked on the forum button(in older version)..


Plz add these feautures..

PS: I'm not able to make out which are the new topics and which topics have been replied to :( :(
