The New Forum

[The Biff]

Well done lads on rolling out a new Forum so painlessly. You can tell BnMm to stop posting all his "Tests" now.

Two comments/suggestions:

1. On the old Forum, I used to use the links "View previous topic :: View next topic" to jump directly from one topic to the next changed one. I cant see a similar link here, so I have to go back to the Topic Index before opening the next topic thread. Am I missing something?

2. Any chance you can change that Blue Banner? It's too much of a reminder of Dublin / Laois / Tullamore.

[Shin-Shin]

i agree with the blue...bogman..but if its tullamore colours i don't mind!!

[turk]

where is the robots thread gone?

[Sydthebeat]

whats the story with avatars...

some members quite obviously have avatars greater than 100 x 100 pixels...

while personally i dont like large avatars, i do think a 10kb limit is a bit much... i personally like smaller gif avatars than the large image ones.

and the new format with the posters avatar and name on the RHS is slightly distracting... its easier to follow a conversation type thead if the avatars are on the left...

just a personal opinion.

His tusk goes over the edge of the page on my browser.

god no Turk, im not saying it pisses me off..... im just wonder how some members have larger avatars?

ive seen forums where some avatars take up half the screen which i dont like.. theres no avatar here that i dont like.

[Muck Savage]

Maybe we'll have to have a "Who has the best Avatar" competition
only ya can't vote for you own.

Has anyone figured out what the three different icon's mean on the left side of each topic?

I'm still waiting for my "View previous ... :: ... next ..." links back again. Can any of the Administrators tell me what we have gained with this new Forum, to offset what we have lost?

[Doon Massive]

I don't like change.

Im not the admin, but i have experience with phpbb 3.... this version is much more stable than the previous... remember all the debug crap and logging out....
It can be altered to replicate the other one as close as possible, visual wise.
