Just kidding VWE. 

Did you notice all the awesome editing features? Tables! Flash! FTP! Images! Text Alignment.  I like it a lot.  But I'm with Soda, the smilies leave a lot to be desired...  :) - what the hell is that? Looks like he took a shot in the mouth...

Now, where in the heck are my moderator powers?.... :D - looks like a jap-anmi cartonie

So far looks like more fluff to impede posts...... jury is out. Would be nice to have the ability to disable irritating items.

A stupid post with glow, shadow, embedded pictures and marquee text is still a stupid post. No amount of fluff will ever hide that.

In the profile you can specify to use classic smileys, that uses the old BBS smileys...
Title: Re: Can I have the old forum look back?
Post by: Skuzzy on March 06, 2008, 10:39:21 AM
Smileys are updated and added to post form now.  You can also choose from 4 different themes in your profile.

Exactly... if we had the ability to block those items it would improve the quality of the boards. I see no need to make it look like Romper Room or Sesame Street.

It could, of course, be worse.  We could be using UBB1.0. 

This costs $$$ - and IMHO is a big improvement from VBB we are using.  I've used the forum software in the past (HTTP://WWW.SIMPLEMACHINES.ORG) and the MOD's that are available make moderating and controlling the forum easy to do.

 :aok Skuzzmiester.

Just give us our moderator access control utility back.

Actually it's not as bad as I first thought, it's the same forum we use on my squads site.

Why not phpBB?    :(

I also miss the "Member since" thing to see who really is a vet and who is just a BBS gabber...


Edit:  Inline edit is a welcome addition though.  :)

phpBB ver2 is a no from security and speed, but I am curious about why not the phpBB3, but I'm guessing this has been in the works for a while and phpBB3 went gold in late December.  Too close to run a business off of.  SMF provides a good, stable, product with many mods already available.

Interestingly enough... We can now see post breakdowns. So... hrm... Looks like 2 out of every 3 posts you make are in the O' Club, and we all know what that's worth  :t


P.S. I wouldn't mind the forums as much if I could see new threads better, and if I coudl DISABLE the lame text effects. Those really piss me off.

Other than that, my main gripe is the stupid internal scrolling frames inside any given post. I'd RATHER have the full page scroll, instead of just that post.
Title: Re: Can I have the old forum look back?
Post by: Skuzzy on March 07, 2008, 10:28:41 AM
Krusty, at the bottom of the main forum page, hit the "Mark All threads Read" button.  After that, every new post will be easier to find.  This board does a much better job of tracking new posts than the old board did.

Yeah but wont it leave the post marked as new until you actually look at it, unlike the old board where it would only mark new post since your last log in.  Is there any way to make it like the old way?
Title: Re: Can I have the old forum look back?
Post by: Skuzzy on March 07, 2008, 03:32:06 PM
It is just different.  There is a "mark read" button at the top of every forum.  Press it when you are done.

Also note, that the old board used a timer to mark your posts as read, and thus ended up marking posts read that you did not read.

Yup,

About 120 IQ points more then almost any of the other forums LMAO

And actually that ratio is probably more on the order of 2 of every 30 posts are made outside of the O'club
