Reactions and suggestions to new board

Please use this forum for general Non-Football related chat

Postby andy_g » Thu Mar 08, 2012 1:13 pm

There's a number of comments and reactions and suggestions to the new forum style spread across a couple of threads. while most are positive there are also some things that people wold like to see added or improved if possible. lets make it easy for the admin/s and collect all the suggestions here.

my own are:

we miss our avatars. can we have them back?
can we bring back the little icon that enabled you to go straight to the first post you hadn't read? (it was the little blue or orange square next to the post title in the old format)
can we find a way to stop my eyes going crossed when reading the forum?

On the FAQ section it said the board owner could enable the avatars.

As for the little button on the old forum, I never even knew it was there in the first place!

All in all people in general don't like change, any gripes about readability will go away eventually.

yeh I'm finding it difficult, the fact the stickies aren't separated make it a little more difficult to see where people are posting. The avatars would be nice as well, saved me having to find the name of who posted  :D

All in all its a nice new look though, it'll just take a while to get used to

Avatars are still there Andy

visual separation between the sticky threads and the normal ones.


It might be just me but in the board index screen, or any of the larger "umbrella" forums like "general discussion" the last post column on the right has:

by name and date with a little link to the post, but it used to have the thread title in there so it was good to see if it was a thread you've recently posted in or a new thread, or a thread you're not really fussed about. Now you have to click on the link to find out what thread the post was in.

I think it would be here:

User control panel -> Board preferences -> edit display options

But "Display avatars" is highlighted as “yes” for me, but I still cant see the avatars.

I like way you have different code buttons such Img tags and the fact that I now know I have contributed to 0.62 percent of entire forum posts means I die a happy man

The easy to read format

Enable Avatars set to YES but I still don't see them.
I agree with the earlier post about the latest post thread title appearing on the board index.

Apart from the separate sticky threads, no complaints so far. Like the way its got everyone's location on it. Looking at Lakes for instance, Essex. Makes me wonder, is it true Lakes that women in Essex have a higher sperm count than men?  :D
