Title: New BBS configuration...
Post by: mason22 on August 14, 2000, 02:55:00 PM
you guys like the way it's currently configured or the old way?

I'm a fan of the old way, you could tell when new posts were added without having to click on a category (like it is now).

What about you guys at HTC? Is the new layout more efficient or user friendly for you guys or some other reason for the change?

Was just curious....i kinda think the old layout was a little more user friendly, just my $.02 worth.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I liked more the old way...

Maybe a separation between private forums and the rest of the forums is needed...but I dont like to have to click 3 times to access to the Training&help forum, to be truth.

I don't refresh BBS pages every minute. Every 5th minute that I come, I know there is a new message lol (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) So I guess new design is alright with me

I like the old way. I usually just click
"Click Here To View Today's Active Topics (all public forums)" - but then again I could just bookmark it.

Interesting. I tried posting to the Terrain Editor and it says

"We cannot post this because the Forum Name being submitted does not match the forum name we have listed in our records. Use your back button to try again."

Huh?? What's up with that?

There's no generals in the general forum.

I miss something?

Personally, I like the old way too.  But it does get to be a bit much with so many topics.  The only option I see to go back to the old way is to severely limit the number of topics we have, which makes it harder to keep important info from getting buried.

Pyro, and how about a mix?

I mean, put several categories:

That way we'll have the main forums at hand, while the more restricted are in other part of it.

but bassicaly I think that what we need now is one group that includes the current scenario, help and general boards,as they are the most needed ones in a general board, IMO.

In any case I think we need fast links to any of the boards, without needing to press "back" on the browser and then chosing the right link.

What do you think about this idea? any feedback?
