The images module seems to be using the wrong templates - can you check that they are the same as on the dev site?

It might be that they need copies of the unnumbered ones with 0,1,2 after the names.

@Sauron

Also, check out amigakit... They have a good service !

Towerised you A1200 would facilitate further upgrades, but the first thing you need to invest in is an accelerator cards, followed by a flicker/fixer (to use a normal monitor).

Once towerised you will need a KB and mouse adapter, Gfx card, Mediator (for example), but not necessary just yet.
To upgrade to AOS3.9, you will need 3.1 ROMs So it might be better improving your current Env with software "hacks" in the meantime if you don't have 3.1 ROMs... Like MagicMenus...

Oh, I know this site is brand new and all. I was invited here by someone, so I know it's still a secret and all. This particular forum was looking pretty bare, so I figured why not post this question here? I'll be trying on other sites as well, but anyone who could give me advice, feel free to pipe in here anyway. :)

@Sauron

Well, you could always try to find a usergroup.

If you want help for your 'classic' you will not find
many here as this site is just to startup. Maybe you
could try amiga.org for the moment.

But stay on this site also, it will be better when more
people are getting in. And, pssst, dont tell anybody
about this site, it is still a secret. Ok?!

Hey all!

So, I've been sitting on an A1200 for the last 3 years. My general curiosity in Amiga is what led me to purchase it, after being on the opposing side of the Amiga/Atari wars of the late 80s and early 90s. Not that I didn't LIKE Amiga...I was just fully vested in the Atari platform back then (puts up bullet-proof shield). Anyways, I jumped head first into Amiga back when I first picked up the A1200 but wasn't able to do anything with it. Now, however, I'd like to get it upgraded somehow, at least to the point of being able to run a version of AmigaOS a bit more recent than 3.0.

Mind you, I'm not having any delusions of grandeur of running OS4 on it, as I believe any hardware upgrades to allow it to do so will be too expensive for me. Besides, I'd rather run OS4 on a sexy new system. :) I'd like to do a few basic things with it, like jump online, try new software, run a more recent OS, and basically experience the Amiga in the fullest, all while not breaking the bank with my purchases.

So...here's what I have so far. It's basically a stock Amiga 1200 with 2 MB of chip RAM, an 80 MB hard drive, and a bit of software pre-installed. It came with a memory expander with an FPU on it, but it doesn't work (had to remove it just to get the system to boot). How should I go about upgrading the RAM? Is it worth it to do so? What reasonably priced accelerators are available for it, if any? What free and commercial programs should I check out for it? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. :)

Great to see a new Amiga site opening up! I'm relatively new to the Amiga community, but I'm finding myself getting sucked in more and more. :)

With IBrowse is as always better !

With Aweb look quite good.. let' see how it look with IBrowse :-9

@severin
I got too agree the amigans banner should stand out more tis a little dullish

@Outcast

I havent noticed much difference between Firefox and Ibrowse viewing amigans maybee im conditioned after all these years of Ibrowsing and see it differently :) now ill have to take close notice to see difference

I cannot edit a post, the edit button is no longer there...

@SLayeRDK

Sure, every time I press "Logout" ;)

No unregistrered user yet ;)

is .. just a test user that we can use to see what the site looks like to ordinary users. Admins and moderators have a lot more bang a whistles activated so we use the "Registered" user to test the site as a registered member.

@outcast

Actually, the bits that have been Amiga-ised look pretty much the same on Mozilla and AWeb (iBrowse looks a bit crappy though). The problem is that a lot of the site is still CSS-only (I'm planning to work on that this weekend - might have to give 3Cag a miss).

Greetings All.
Nice place. I look forward to being part of a
constructive community.

Re:Appearance
Looks fine on AWeb, but I still had to fall back
to Windows for registration and to post.
For some reason my AWeb usually fails to post
messages, here and at a few other sites.

I'll be checking in often. If I fail to post frequently
it's only because starting my windows machine
is such a depressing thing to do.

At Work i only have IE

Couple of quick observations...

The title banner has got to change, the current one is nearly unreadable here and the reply & report buttons are too close together, you get accidental reports same as on AW when they had them next to each other.

Edit: ok, the banner is partly my monitor settings, turning the contrast way down so everything looks dull and boring makes the banner readable. maybe making the text shadow a bit darker would help.

@Severin

ahhhh, I was missing this avatar of yours !

Greetings all. Let the chaos commence
