Ok all, there is a newer version of the tikiwiki software upon which OrionRobots is based. I will be performing the upgrade over this weekend.
The process is relatively painless, and I will be making backups before the upgrade. Beware though - new stuff posted during the hours of 10:00-13:00 GMT tomorrow may not be backed up - and may end up reverted. The site should still be safe to read during that time.

New features are rumoured to contain folders in the gallery system (though conspicuously absent from the file gallery) and a number of bugfixes.

Okay - good news and bad.
The upgrade has added a method of giving galleries a parent gallery (not quite folders), although they still appear in the main gallery listing. Not quite what I wanted - but an improvements.

The dissappearing login box bug seems to have gone. For those who didnt see it - the login box used to roll up and although all the text was there - it was not visible.

The Blog now has the right page width and does not push the right hand bar out. However - the titles appear to be messed up - I will examine this as soon as possible.

Some of the fetaures that I previously added/patched will need to be done so again - although I am going to try and build scripts to patch them, as well as keeping the tikiwiki guys informed of my own additions which might have value to the rest of the community.

I still cannot get it to mail me queued posts- which is a pain as it means the only way I can check is to skim each forum to see if anything requires it.

I am also yet to find a method of showing the poll results in the "current poll" bar when you have already voted.

Anyway - if you spot anything unusual, odd or buggy - please let me know. I will fix what I can. If you are using greasemonkey regularly on OrionRobots - tell me what for, and I may try and incorporate it into the sites design.

Cheers
Orion

The upgrade has been performed.
I will investigate, and utilise any new features. In the meantime be aware that bugs or issues may manifest themselves.

Cheers
