I was going to head out to Albert Park when I was woken up by the F1s but wasn't keen on the wet factor.

Has the 'go to last post' button for the mobile version of the site been moved to the start of thread names recently, or has it always been like that and I'm just imagining things?

Sort of

To fix some things, like how PMs were displaying, I had to change the theme to be consistent with the official phpBB theme.
The button that you can see now has always been there, although the button on the right is gone.

The button there now actually takes you to the first unread post. With these changes, clicking the black post icon now does the same (instead of doing nothing).

The last post icon now doesn't show on mobiles (why phpBB???) But I think I'll try add it back when I get a chance. It's probably easier?

Unrelated, but the search box in forums and threads now works

edit: This is just for search results and the Unread/New/Your posts page btw! On other pages, clicking the date will take you to the last post.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, that'll do it
I'm digging the change, so thankyou!

In every corner store in Thailand.
Are you there or something?

It's actually a Thai brand.

Basically just a heap of caffeine and sugar ^_^

I would love to see this place many people go here even though there's a radiation risk but i wonder if it affects you badly ?

You go in with a Geiger counter, don't stay around for days etc. Most places have low levels radiation, you'll only get sick if you go right up to the remains of the power plant.
Plenty of organisations run tours.

I was there in 2013.
As abandoned places go, it's not really the mecca it's made out to be, don't get me wrong, it was pretty cool, but not what I expected.

Those photos of gasmasks, abandoned kindergartens, and the ferris wheel, yes, you can shoot all those yourself, but that's about it.

These days you can't go inside the buildings, hence why we decided to do some wanderings. The buildings were gutted, Ukraine has been in grinding poverty ever since the fall of the Soviet Union, it went from bad to worse. So anything of value that could have been stripped has been stripped.

I'd still recommend going, but we spent a few weeks driving around Ukraine and Crimea (which is now Russia), and it was not the coolest thing we saw by a long shot. Not even the coolest abandoned city we'd done that trip. (Mining operations in Germany left us with the coolest abandoned city that was eaten by the largest excavator in the world about a week after we left)

This was a Soviet plane graveyard

This was a Soviet Jet graveyard.

This is a ICBM Silo

So by all means go over to Ukraine, but don't go just for Prypriat / Chernobyl, and don't pussy out and run back to Poland.

As for how badly the radiation effected me, all I know is I woke up and my testicles didn't fit in my underpants.

Joke's on you radiation, Nick now saves money by not having to purchase underwear!
Seriously though, cool pics.

Will-043 · 25 Mar 2015, 11:09 am

have always wanted to go there...

Midget · 25 Mar 2015, 4:08 pm

Fuaarrr epic photos.

Midget · 26 Mar 2015, 1:19 pm

Mm, this is kinda cool.

Looks like you'll be leaning forward a bit to reach it, given it sticks straight up.

I used to have one of those red ones. It didn't do that though

Nooo00ooooo just got word that my camera replacement won't arrive until next week, meaning my jam-packed weekend full of adventure in Sydney will be undocumented

Anyone know of any cheap camera rental places in or around Sydney? I don't want to use my iPhone as my sole camera, but I really want to take some photos. Take into account that I am a uni student, and hence am relatively poor :3
