The www.kiltforum.org web site is not available at the moment. Certain content items from the forum (banners, backdrop tartans) which are delivered from this server are also unavailable, so the forum may look different.

Yuku is moving to a new data center. The new data center provides us with the space and network infrastructure to grow and provide you with unparallel service.

Yuku will be unavailable during this scheduled maintenance window. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for you or your community members.

I really like to keep the forum a non profit place, so I donated the profit to a charity project. My dear friends Kim and Craig Lewis raise money for prostate cancer research. The humble £50 profit the forum made so far went to this project.

I've raised a bug ticket with Yuku, and if a fix is not rapidly forthcoming from them, I've got other ways of displaying the banners which will work around the bug.

I can only apologise to our sponsors for this. I will be working on a fix over the next few hours.

    If you'd like a custom title that better reflects you, please post your suggestion/request in this thread and Robin or I will set the title for you.

    Forum members can create a personal signature and use an avatar.
    You may use text, links (1 commercial link maximum) and a small banner. Commercial banners are not allowed in your signature.
    Keep your signature small and tidy please. Avatars are limited to 100x100 pixels, larger images will be cropped automaticly. Signatures are limited to a height of 90 pixels, that's about 6 lines of normal sized text.

    On first sight not much will look different, but among the changes are:
    -quotes will appear on a coloured (grey) field, so it's more clear it's a quote.
    -custom and automatic titles will work again (now only the custom titles show).
    -The height of the avatar field will be reduced...the members info will show next to the avatar instead of underneath.
    -Large signatures will be cropped automaticly.

    We've turned them on for most sections of the forum, because they're good spider food/bait, for attracting the spiders that crawl the web building indexes for Google and the like.
