Cool

State of the NEW forum


Thought it might be a good idea to help the mods and Admins by creating a thread so we, the users, can point out bugs and such we find that they, in their being swamped with getting this new monster moving, may have missed.

Here's a few I've noticed:

1) No obvious smileys except in headings - that's just gonna suck if it stays that way.

2) No obvious text formatting tools - if you're a n00b you'll never know what your options are.

3) That vBulletin graphic at the top's gotta go if possible - just a thought.

Hope this helps a bit. Please don't make this into a b!tch session. This should be just a place where we can point out stuff they might have missed or not gotten to yet and they can come and say "in the works", "not gonna happen" or "done"

8-) LJ

(Looks like the smileys are hard to find AND not working yet ... hmmmm)

Re: State of the NEW forum

I knew that getting it up and running was the main priority and we, the users, should thank all of you for the hard work that went into the new version and getting the old DB restored as much as possible. You guys rock and I for one am very glad you're here, doing the jobs you're doing. I just meant this thread as a bit of help - not critisism.

Keep up the awsome work.

(For whatever reason only one of the cool shades guys works yet there are 3 shown in the smiley list)

Forum looks great. If possible it would be cool if we could modify the time in our login to reflect our timezones.

I like the new one much better - just gives it a much fresher and jazzier look all round really. I havent noticed any bugs or anything yet, seems cool!

Re: State of the NEW forum


Great job getting the new forum up and running. I use vBulletin on a couple of other boards, and i'm starting to like it more than the old phpBB standby.

A couple of questions: Is there a user setting to reduce the font size overall? I find everything is just a little big, especially in the message lists, which makes for more scrolling.

Will and eventually make it into the new system?
