Since you guys have been screaming for a new blog, here it is!

You've probably noticed the site jumping around a little bit this week, that's because Co-Opp now has a new bridge between Joomla and phpBB!
I know, it seems like we get a new one every other month, but this one is going to stay! Probably. Hopefully.

New Bridge Features:

• The new bridge ensures you WILL be logged in to both Joomla AND phpBB at the same time, always. No more random sign outs.
• Your forum avatar is now pulled straight from your community profile. This is a new feature and will only start working once you upload a new community avatar. Forum avatars have been disabled, but still work for you nostalgic types.
• Your forum profile now links directly to your community profile.

Various other things:

• New 404 page
• Tweaked and cleaned up the community design a little bit. Shouldn't look so jarring now.
• Regomod is back! Again! Hopefully it doesn't break this time.
• I've tweaked the forum template and made sure it's up to date with the latest phpbb code. Hopefully every time there's a phpbb update it should be as simple as making a few minor tweaks to the template each time.

Future plans that probably won't be implemented because I go back to full time employment in just over a week:

• I would like to re-do the comments template and make it look more like the forum a bit. I slack off at work alot, so there are good chances this might actually happen.

Currently broken features:

• MyBlog is currently broken. I'm super awesome so I can ignore it's broken-ness and still produce this awesome blog. Currently waiting on myblog to release a patch that will fix it.
• Somewhere along the line the Arcade disappeared. Not entirely sure what happened there, but does anyone miss it? Let me know and I'll look in to restoring it.

VicTheBitter:

• Stop abusing the lack of avatar restrictions or everyone will be forced to use 160x160 avatars.
