Well done Rat, and well done to everyone who contributes here at CMX. To reach 6 figures is quite a remarkable achievement and it is all thank you to the CMX members who have supported the forum

I've updated the forum to the latest version (3.0.7-PL1), but unfortunately all didn't go smoothly. There were some problems updating the files, but fortunately nothing related to the database (so all posts are fine)

Thanks to my friend DavidIQ, who is the MOD Team Leader, for helping me search the site. We searched as many pages of the site as we could to make sure there were no problems.

We found a couple of minor things that need repairing, such as the {QUIZ} link at the top of the page and the dollars you make for posting in OT Forum. Fortunately these are quite minor and should be up and working again in the next few days.

There is also a new quick reply system, it's almost identical to the last one except that the button is about quarter of an inch higher. I hope to add the old one back, as I liked the way it was setup before... unless everyone really likes the new one?

In summary, if anyone finds any pages that don't work or any errors or particularly if any of the colours or layout of any pages look wrong, please let me know.

Sorry for the inconvenience

I added a new page on Twitter that lists the CMX users on Twitter. The page is at http://twitter.com/battye/cmx and will list the tweets by CMX members.
At the moment it has me, tune and garmy - as far as I know we are the only regulars with Twitter. I am happy to add any other CMX user with a Twitter account as well, if you have an account please let me know

Happy sixth anniversary everyone!

I wanted to do something a bit different this year, so instead of posting a historical piece I thought it might be interesting to see how we treated the forum anniversary in years gone by

1st anniversary (2005)
We attempted to break the site record for most people online at any one time. Unfortunately I cannot remember if we succeeded!
2nd anniversary (2006)
I organised a game of simulation cricket to celebrate the forum turning 2. It was also around this time that Burian wrote the CMX Uptime program!
3rd anniversary (2007)
Our third anniversary was a trip down memory lane as we recalled some of CricketMX's most famous (and infamous!) moments to date.
4th anniversary (2008)
2008 marked CMX's biggest change, the upgrade to phpBB3 Olympus and the unveiling of the new website.
5th anniversary (2009)
We took another trip down memory lane, including the original chatroom conversation which was probably the catalyst for me creating the site and everyone posting their favorite CMX moments.

I am so proud of this website and I am so grateful to everyone who supports CMX. Thank you!
