Welcome to the new JoeCanuck.com site. It's still a work in progress, but we hope you'll like the new front end layout and content!
- JoeCanuck Wiki : Here we plan on putting information pertaining to "Canadian" Joe items : ie: exclusives, mail-aways, variants, etc. Items from Canada - to make it easier.
- Newsletter Archive : You can now scroll through the last 2 years of issues easily and see what's in each one without having to click that issue. Of course, should you want to read any articles, you'll have to click on the image to open that month's newsletter.
- Trading Cards : The trading cards now have their own section on the site with a "virtual" checklist of sorts. A real checklist IS coming, but for now, the virtual one should suffice.
- Forums : The message board is back up and running, so at least you have that to use while I work on the rest of the items. ;-)
I'm sure you'll notice a few items don't seem "right" here and there. For example, my username switched to "THE Mike?" instead of "THE Mike™"....fixing that will be first on my list. :shifty:
Should you find anything strange, please let me know as soon as possible.
I also need to give Beav from JoeCustoms.com a personal thank you for helping out with some issues and the merging of this board with our front end of the site. Now posts from the forum (like this one) can be posted on the main page easily with a click of a button by one of our Moderators. It's a feature I've wanted for JoeCanuck.com for a LONG time now. :-)
Enjoy! ...and be sure to let us know what you think!!

Thanks for the move!
So far, the only thing I've found is that the main splash page points to a dead link.

It does? There shouldn't be a splash page anymore?
Maybe clear your cache?... The Miva link (and miva itself) is now gone, as is the splash page logo. You should just be seeing the new front page when you goto www.joecanuck.com (http://www.joecanuck.com)

It did. Gone now. Could have been old cache or late DNS replication. Move along!
-
heh. I was editing as you were replying. ;-)
-
My biggest recommendation would be a fairly obvious link to the main page from the forums.
-
It's coming.... I'm looking into new templates for the board. This one... annoys me now. ;-)
-
Sweet! I was expecting at least a week before the board was back.
-
The setup looks great guys. Nice work so far.
-
Redesigns look quite nice, all in all good improvements.
-
The only problem I see is it looks like the built-in avatars are trying to point to an "off" location as before the move there was this vestigial phpbb2 directory within the smf board. I moved the various smf files and folders that had somehow ended up in that back where they needed to be but forgot to double-check the settings.
I was going to go fix that, but it looks like I've already been de-admined. I guess you'll have to search those out yourself. ;-)
-
Lookin Very nice guys. Like the new layout ;D
-
Built-in avatars fixed now.
-
Members might want to go into their Profiles and into Look and Layout Preferences (under the Modify Profile heading) to make sure their Time Offset is set correctly. Just click "(auto detect)" beside the field. If the number changes, make sure to save the new setting.
-
...and if you were using a JoeCanuck Themed avatar - you may want to pick one again.
New ones have been uploaded, more will come. But they're on a "first come, first get" basis. So only ONE person will be able to use any specific avatar by the time I'm done. ;-)

very cool.
-
I love it. Good work guys. The only glitch I found is when I first tried logging in from the Joecanuck.com main page. It told me that my username cannot be recognized and in the other case when I tried changing my password that my email address cannot be recognized. For a mnute I even thought you guys had kicked me out or forgot about me :'( :wink:. But I logged in from the forum section as before and It's okay now.

Wow you guys have been busy...great stuff!!

Oops. That login is for me only. It's gone now. :-)

Just an update, while it's missing a couple of issues, there is now nearly a full run of the Marvel era of Comic book covers in the Avatars section for use.
-
That's pretty cool! Just looking at them all brings back memories.
