Hi everyone I'm new here because I was trying to find Rumble in the Bronx's original HK version. 
Low and behold I found a master restorer! 

I'm here to learn more and look forward to possibly contribute back to the community. You all seem to be AV experts and have a very keen sense of cinema versions and discrepencies in Hollywood bought cinema.

Hello all.  I'm new to the forum here but look forward to contributing (and learning).

Hello everyone

I've long been interested in acquiring and preserving rare and unique versions of media.

After registering here years ago and knowing about this community even longer, I'm glad I was finally able to login with all that confusion with fanres/fanrestore domains.  :)

Quote:  While not IMAX, yesterday Cinemark posted a listing for "Pink Floyd at Pompeii - MCMLXXII" with an April 24th 2025 release date. The description is as follows:

    "The newly restored 4K version, scanned from the original negative, presents the first full 90-minute cut, combining the 60-minute source edit of the performance, with additional Abbey Road Studios documentary segments covering the recording of 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon. The amphitheater concert includes performances of seminal tracks Echoes and One of These Days, alongside earlier hits Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and A Saucerful of Secrets. Also features a brand-new audio remix by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original recording."

Hey there everyone, I'm a film enthusiast and physical media collector and I am deeply appreciative of the projects some of you have put hours upon hours of effort in.   Looking forward to talking more with you all!

Does anyone know if its possible and if so how to recreate the Smilebox effect to a letterbox image in something like Premiere.

Would like to add this effect to the whole film of It’s a Mad Mad Mad World, like the trailer for it on Youtube:

Thanks in advance.

Just a lover of classic films seeking versions that preserve the originals for modernity without egregious transformation of all the actors into rubber automata.

Good day.
The name is albert.
Looking forward to see the growth of this fan restoration community.

I thank you all for the love of movies and cinema purely to share it all with others as well.
God bless.

Hi, I'm Ryan. I found this forum because of a video about cutting all the Treadstone scenes out of The Bourne Identity. I'm curious what else y'all have created and restored.

Hey everyone.

As you probably already know, the forum really could use a modern, responsive theme that works correctly on mobile devices. I've tried several over the years but everything I found had many problems and requires annoying changes, which I couldn't easily carry over multiple version updates. MyBB version 1.9 is supposed to bring modern responsive themes but its development already takes many more years than originally claimed, so we we're in kind of awkward situation. What we have is usable on mobiles, but not particularly good in my opinion

Recently I learned about Curves UI project (https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?acti...w&pid=1594). The author wants to bring modern looking UI to MyBB 1.8.x. It looks the best of any MyBB "modern" themes I've seen so far, so I decided to try it out on our forum.

At this point it's pretty much the stock theme with barely any changes. It needs many tweaks to functionality (e.g. it doesn't display the thanks button and thanks given area, some buttons are not properly styled etc,) and colors. But it seems nice and I wanted to know what you think, before I do anything else with it

So far I restricted the theme to power users group and above, because it's not ready for a "wide release" so to speak. You can change the theme in User CP -> Your Profile -> Edit options -> Board Style: Fanrestore responsive theme (Curves UI). If you check it out, please report any report issues you find in this thread

Once this new UI is patched up for our uses, I'd like to set is as default for the forum, and the old theme would remain as an option - but I will be removing the current mobile theme (MyBB Go Mobile)

I also added a plugin that displays user avatars in more places than before (last poster avatar etc), along with this new theme
