Well, not sure if it's intentional or not, but I can't click the 1-Up Mushroom next to the title of a thread with unread posts to go to the first unread post anymore.

Fixed.

Alright, you can now switch to the new old-school FF theme, currently called "FF beta." Since I still need to tighten up the graphics on level 3, it's not the default theme yet. Please try it out and let me know of any problems!

Could you at least make one that looks like the old theme. I really liked the Mario theme over the "some random fourm" theme.

That's the plan.

Yeah, I was kinda cool with it when the avatars were up and running (nostalgia for the Nintendo fan site I used to go to, I guess), but now it's just... cold. And barren!

Don't forget, you can change your theme to "SMF Default Theme - Curve" to enable avatars.

Just a joke. "HAX0RED" is our maintenance mode message, and there were supposed to be a bunch of these images http://content.ytmnd.com/content/e/1/0/e103217e94a83b8bf699f335e4a33be4.gif but the coding was messed up.

I've cleaned up the default theme a bit. Avatars and smileys are available in the SMF Curve and Core themes.

The old FF theme has been disabled because in its current state it will log several errors for each pageview.

We just upgraded to the long-awaited SMF version 2.0. Unfortunately, this broke the old FF theme. If you switch to the old theme you won't be able to switch back, so please be patient while we fix stuff.

Edit: The old FF theme has been disabled because in its current state it will log several errors for each pageview.

Edit2: I've cleaned up the default theme a bit. Avatars and smileys are available in the SMF Curve and Core themes.

ProTip: Don't try to reply on a message board when there's a four-year-old with no attention span in the same room.

So if Start also works by itself, someone should tell David.

ProTip: Hold START or SELECT when selecting a Game Boy title to play it in its native resolution.

You need only hold Select. Source: http://codebook.potchgult.com/3DS%20SYSTEM%20%283ds%29.html
