Whether you noticed or not, there have been a lot of changes to the forums. Before I make any big changes, I’d like to open up the topic for discussion. One rule for this topic… no debate and no criticism. Share your opinion or idea, but do not critique that of others.
I’m going to kick things off with a link to a picture that shows the layout of the old forum. Use it as a reference for comparing with this forum.
October 5, 2002 at 8:11 pm #100272PhilMemberI think the icons, such as “edit post” shud have text underneath them saying what they are!! i always forget and have to hover the mouse over the icons until the text pops up tellin me what it is!
October 5, 2002 at 9:12 pm #100275VaderXMemberMany of the icons like ‘edit post’ ’email user’ ‘new topic’ ‘reply to topic’ etc are white and the background is white too. i suggest that they should be darker simply because its hard to see/notice them.
October 7, 2002 at 7:21 am #100271PhilMemberThe lines that seperate the quotes from the normal text needs to be bolder…you can hardly see the line.
Example :
Quote:quote:HelloOctober 8, 2002 at 11:00 pm #100274VaderXMemberhow about assigning more stars. i hav had three stars since i can remember. more stars should be assigned as your posts increase. its just encourages people to get involved in the forum.

You can currently get up to five stars. I think there are only two members to reach that level so far (yes, I’m one of them). 😉

how about 10 stars instead of 5??
ohh well… since you are working on PMs. how about an alert when you log on saying that you have a PM or an inbox count on top beside ‘home’ ‘profile’ etc. showing how many PMs you have in the PM inbox.
October 9, 2002 at 10:23 pm #100265Jeff HesterKeymasterVaderX, where did you get the idea that I was working on PMs? I’m not.
October 9, 2002 at 11:01 pm #100273VaderXMembersorry my bad. well can you add that feature if you hav time.
October 9, 2002 at 11:30 pm #100269AnnaParticipantVader, Please read this thread. PMs are most likely not going to return.

Is there going to be a flyout menu on the left hand side like before on all forum pages?
I think it would make the forums look a lot more professional (not implying that they don’t already. 😉 )October 17, 2002 at 9:20 am #100263Jeff HesterKeymasterQuote:quote:Originally posted by windaphonerJeff,

I think it would make the forums look a lot more professional (not implying that they don’t already. 😉 )I’ve tried this, but it doesn’t fit well on an 800×600 screen (which a lot people still run). That’s why I went with the two views.
Maybe I could make it user configurable? Hmmm…..
October 17, 2002 at 6:40 pm #100266rhiannonMemberNah, leave it as it is, if half the world or more is on 800×600 why swim against the current? death wish?

Water bongOctober 18, 2002 at 12:26 am #100267AnnaParticipantUser configurable? No… that’d just be annoying.
I guess I’ll go with Rhiannon. Leave it. We wouldn’t want to monopolize the personal bubbles of 800×600 users… =P
Although………………………………..October 18, 2002 at 1:28 am #100270magistykMemberWhy not user configurable, I think that would be cool. Especially if you can make other things along with it configurable too, such as forum layout, etc… Is that possible?
