Hi! I’d like to share some suggestions to improve this forum :)

1) mobile version;
2) spoiler function;
3) notifications on the top right for replies etc like other forums have

Bye :)

Hi, Team Zorin don't own the layout, just the content - it is bog standard phpBB design and layout, kindly put together for Team Zorin by:

"Cerulean Style by Daniel St. Jules of Gamexe.net"

Thanks for the suggestions! We're currently working on a new Discourse (https://www.discourse.org/) based forum that will have all of the above features.
We plan to launch the new forum in the next week or two.

I just checked out the new forum, very nice! I received an invite from AZorin, but I cannot figure out how to sign up. There is a login, but no option (that I can see) to join.

It's actually a test. The Zorin team doesn't want Dunderheads on the forum, so you must pass an intelligence test to get signed up. If you cannot pass the login-puzzle, then you are unworthy of foruming.

Go for it, mediemer, I believe in you. Mostly.

Go forward and Make victory, your Own!

As the new forum is not officially launched yet, public signups are currently disabled.
At the moment, to sign up you will need to click the signup link in the invite email which you received

Personally, I think rather than showing password, forgotten username and/or password option would be better. ;) :D

That will be the default way of doing things anyway - you have to go through various hoops to show you how it all works. ;) :D

Yes, you will need to create a new account on the new forum to write posts there.

Posts from this forum won't be moved to the new forum. After this forum is closed on 17 September, it will be converted into a read-only static archive.
