It should work again

Sadly, it is not. -Jrabbit sent me a PM, and I didn't receive an email.

It has been said many times already that new styles would be offered, and some have been offered already.
I am just asking some question to find out what exactly is the problem for some of you. Just complaining in big capitals doesn't really help. We need to know what exactly is the problem for you, to be able to know if we can provide you something that does suits your needs. Especially because all of you are of course unique. What works for one may not work for the other.

I hope you can see the difference between asking more questions about your complains and discarting you complains as worthless. What I am doing is the first.

People have told you clearly and repeatedly what the problem is. You are probing your users for more information as if understanding the root biological or psychological cause of their discomfort will help you make a decision. This isn't requirement elicitation, your users' requirements have been stated clearly. Your users want a dark-on-light theme; that's it, the details don't matter. Isn't it sufficient to say sincerely, "No problem guys, we're working on new styles and will try out something that's dark-on-light when we get to it" instead of arguing? Can you understand how pestering them for more information, as if they are lying or deluded or aren't qualified to define what they want, might be taken as pompous and condescending?

Big change. It look nice but there are still some problems. I can't see how to go to the last unread post and all the links of the Great Library #2 of the civ2 section are not working. There are people trying to find some patches or tools but are not able to download them. Is it able to restore them soon.

Crud - this is uglier than the previous version.

If you want to go to the forum you now go to: http://apolyton.net/forums.php

Tried that, got "404 not found".

[Nikolai]

Confirmed.

[Robert]

Excuse me, it's supposed to be: http://apolyton.net/forum.php

[Asher]

http://apolyton.net/forums should not return a 404...

[MikeH]

It doesn't. Maybe already fixed?

[Nikolai]

It does.

[MikeH]

Oh, it does. But http://apolyton.net/forums/ doesn't. My bad.

[MikeH]

just go to that.

[germanos]

I either lost my notepad or can't find it anymore

[Asher]

just go to that.

You should work for corporate help desks.

It's a great feature of new Apolyton that we don't allow inferior urls without trailing slashes.
