Quote ...the phone browser version of this forum is not so user friendly.
Yes, that's true. I've had a look around, and I think it would be quite challenging to add new features or even make it mobile friendly in a cost-effective way, due to the tech behind it being very outdated. My best bet would be to migrate to a more modern platform and keep this forum as an archive for people to browse through, so all the useful information aren't lost.

There is a new version of this forum that is mobile friendly that i was going to install but by doing that i would lose all the custom mods i have made like the chat box and dark forum option, having said that i have been meaning to look at the mobile code and try to get the pages loading in full screen.

I could have a look at the new version and set it up on my local server and have a play.

theres been plenty of activity regarding spring and gas ram rifles etc lately but very little else,which is fine and its interesting evan to me tho havnt really these types of airguns for many years i still own one good springer and use it occassionally and have recently been considering buying either a Gamo or Crosman mag feed gas ram rifle and tho done lot research on both makes and had look at a couple its good to get feed back from those who actually using them before i decide wether to get one these rifles or buy or make another pcp rifle,you cant beat first hand experiences on things like this so having that posted is good and valuable information to have access to and unlike social media that information is allways there in archives,from the little i have seen on social media its completly diffent to a forum and lot all bout egoes not imformative infomation of any value. cheers mike

Your going to have to update some time nunga. The very nature of computors and phones dictates that. Old software stops being user friendly as things advance.
Back in the day I started building websites (pre web site builder apps) writing html and tacking in java scripts. I dought the simple html scripts that I wrote then would be enough to make what is concsidered a good funtioning site these days. Or if it would even work these days.
You have paulo.baronceli whos offered his help and im sure others on this site (not me I have no idea about where its all at these days) who you could get to help build/write bits and pieces, for you to fine tune and assemble). Just a thought.

money is not a problem,  it was just doing the work and no one is active. but now the forum is more alive it is worth spending some time to make it user friendly.

Picked up a rifle in for service at youngs and had a quick chat about multishots, he mentioned:
Gamo - plastic housing and arms can wear - once enough wear the arms & spring come loose and it doesnt fucntion. Around $80 for a new housing when it breaks
Crosman - better as it feeds the pellet directly into the pellet, less parts that can fault, prone to wearing teeth on the magazines - $35 to replace magazine if it wears the teeth..

J S Airguns
Air Arms TX200('s)
Theoben Sirocco
HW77
FWB 300s
Webley Patriot
One or two others...

Current projects:
Too many..
