1. All new mobile theme has been installed which will automatically apply to Blackberry, iPhone, iPod Touch, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Android (inc Nexus), LG and Palm devices.

2. Mobile users can now switch between the desktop and mobile themes using the theme-chooser at the bottom left corner of the forum.

3. There is a dedicated forum app available for iPhone users. This is a free download and the app store link is shown at the bottom of the mobile skin. The app means you can access the forum directly without using Safari.

4. You can now comment on status updates so these become mini personal threads on the status bar on the forum index

5. New or existing users can now register/login to the board directly using their twitter account (as well as facebook of course which we have had for a while)

6. The forum now includes "Team Theme". There is a theme for each of the 42 senior clubs available on the theme chooser at the bottom left corner of the forum. These have been automatically set for all members based on their "Team" entry on their profile but of course you are free to move between any of the team themes that have been installed.

The default theme for guests and new users is "Scotland". This is the most visible change following the forum upgrade and with 43 themes in total there are bound to be a few teething problems and bugs so please do report these via the support forum and we will deal with them one at a time as quickly as we can !

The team themes have used colours from the club badge or official website as far as possible. We will review all feedback from fans of each club who want to make changes to the colour scheme applied for their team so start a forum thread and gather some support from your mates if you want any elements of your team theme changed !

Supporters of other clubs outwith the senior 42 will be given the default Scotland theme at the moment , we will work on team themes for those other clubs in the near future. Note that if you have never set your team you may well have ended up with the Aberdeen skin as that is the club at the very top of the list. If this has happened to you then feel free to change your theme using the theme chooser at the bottom left of the forum board.

Note that changing your preferred team does not automatically update your team theme, you need to select your chosen theme manually. Have a look around all 43, there should be a colour scheme that suits everyone in there !

7. Forum quick-jump now no longer needs to click "Go" :-) This may be the most popular of all the new changes :-)

8. There are lots of other small improvements and features, have a look around. We hope you like the new upgrade but as ever we're very interested in hearing your (hopefully constructive) feedback. At this time we do not anticipate installing any of the older themes we have used in the past but people power might change that !

Thanks for your continued contributions to P&B !

I like it! Unfortunately my image of 'Div and the Moderators' secret plan perhaps wasn't so accurate!

Looking good Div! Might switch to Scotland as the Royal Blue is a bit much, !

[Dunning1874]

Is it possible to switch between the different skins as before, or are all teams on what was the 'home' skin prior to the upgrade?

[StewartyMac]

Loving the Albion theme. Nice touch with the home and away tops at the top of the page.

[Nightmare]

Liking the colours in the PTFC theme. Thankfully you've made it a lighter shade of yellow, because the bold yellow Thistle actually use would no doubt have been eye-destroyingly bad as a background. Good stuff.

[MattBairn]

Looks good so far Div

[The Arch]

The Partick Thistle theme is vile but there's only so much you can do with red and yellow.

The Scotland theme makes it look better than the forum did in the first place.

[JackDFC]

Terrific, well done Div .

[Fife Saint]

Cracking, looks great on my Htc Legend.

[The Naitch]

Like the new look, nice one Div!

[vikingTON]

Good job sir. Liking the auto-login at the top of the page, and as always, the Morton colours are dishy.

Better hope we don't get another rank tartan top though!

[Aloysius Snuffleupagus]

Excellent! Seeing the Rovers kits at the top of the page was a pleasant surprise.

[Fife Saint]

Just one thing, instead of my avatar I can see my profile pic. Can anyone see the handsome Nick Mccoy or the dashing Dan Auerbach?

[StewartyMac]

Is there going to be an Android app as well as the Iphone one. Us users of superior hardware and software shouldn't be left out.

[RandomGuy]

I think i love this

[Fuctifano]

I'm seeing folks profile pics rather than their avatars on the mobile skin. Prefer the new mobile skin to the old one anyway so that's a start!

Nope just a failed marathon runner and all-round crook.

[Eye Valley]

Berwick's is tideeeeee!!
As someone else asked, will the home/away3rd skins be avail?

[Mik]

It's pretty impressive Div,

Only problem I have though is that I used the Retro Away Kit skin or something like that and it looked like a file directory which was ideal for skiving at work, but it's not there anymore

[the auld son]

Superb Div

minted.
Well Done!

[deky]

Nice one Div.

[craigkillie]

I'm not a fan of change, but I quite like the new Killie skin. I take it the old ones are all gone now though? I've been using the same skin since I started on P&B and I'm getting a bit emotional now.

EDIT: Is there a way of identifying which threads you have posted in?

Only been logged in on the iPhone so haven't been able to see the new 'team themes' so far, but the new mobile skin is rather easier on the eye, with some neat wee features to bring it up to pretty much the same level as the full site.

...although as I type this I see that 'post preview' is no longer an option, a bit gutted at that. That was pretty useful, other than that though, a very good job.
