Lets see how der forum wörks on my PC. Just FYI for everyone, if you dislike the background colors then press the black and white background button at the top.  Anyway, nice site with powerful tools I see.

Members Ssnake Posted March 20, 2016 Members Share Posted March 20, 2016 To me, the forum has been very responsive, maybe even faster than phpBB which we had before. I don't think that it is a specific forum software issue, but (hopefully) a temporary issue with the server or your internet connection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted March 20, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2016 Pages should be loading within a 3Â seconds or so, 1/2-2/3Â of that is processing on your browser - reading the javascript/css and rendering the page.

Gibsonm Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Re the Calendar. Â Is there a "reminder" function so that events are displayed in the Forum for those who don't look at the Calendar? Â You used to be able to publish a reminder X period before the event to jog people's memories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSnake79 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 To me, the text in the thread titles should be larger than the text used for the latest posts. Every time I look my eyes are drawn to a list of names, instead of thread titles, the way it is now. It could just be me though.  I also liked the "joined date" we used to have below our avatars. Sorta a badge of honor, and reminder of what a loser I am.  Also I think it would be cool to have something other that "junior member" And "Senior Member".  Sounds like a retirement home lol.  Conscript<Veteran<Fearless<Legendary or something like that.   I put legendary at the end, because I know that's what would be used in my case, since I've been around so long   "Legend!"  Anyway, I would just add that everyone should be patient, and allow these guys time to recover from importing all of the old forum content over. It must have been epic.  Then over the coming months they can make this forum software "ours".  And implement things based on feedback from us, when and if they can.   Except for my feedback of course.  It should be implemented right away, with great haste! I want to be a legend damn it!  Never mind , at this point I know what Sean would do.  He would put "Legendary Noob" in for me.  So just forget about it, ok!  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted March 20, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2016 To start a new post, click the empty space next to your avatar at the bottom of the thread.  That is working for me.   Calendar - You can request RSVP from folks, I suspect that would send a reminder.  Users can also create a activity stream to keep track of what they want to see on a daily basis.  There is a follow this button - not entirely sure what that does.  You can also download the calendar in various formats and put into your own calendar and create reminders there.  Lots of options here.   At one point we did user titles based on how many posts they had.  That resulted in a whole lot of one word posts.   I'll see about increasing the thread title size.  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSomeGuy Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I think that there might be a problem with "Reviewsů in the "Downloadsů section: some of the files had comments, and while there is a note like "1 review", the comment from the old site cannot be shown.

It also allows for a small degree of personalizing (yours looks good btw).  I think whole member title thing is useless because it's based solely on the number of post one makes. There's a number stat for that already. I think it can be misleading also. There are lurkers out that who have been around a long time and are just as versed in SB-fu as the veterans. Is it accurate to label them as junior members? Having said that... there is something new in the form of little circles under the title which increase in number the more you post.  P.S. We finally might get around to adding new smilies that you requested years ago  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
