Thank you to our Sponsors
Might be a little early for this thread, but I'm sure that most of us, who are making their way through it, have found things they like and things they don't like about the brandnew forum.
I like the "fast reply" tool. Was present on the old forum too, but is easier to handle now and looks great.
I don't like the smilies! They really look like s**t.
What about you?
The smilies were standard MicroSoft issue i'm afraid.. It didn't even come with a laughing one, so we brought it over from the old forum.
Its certainly something we can have a look at though, but i personally don't want to go for any of the ones that belong on teenage fanclub websites - they just look childish and naff..
Nothing wrong with starting this thread early smito, we are going to use the next 2 weeks to come up with ideas how to improve the site - and when Van gets back from his well earned break we are going to sit down and go through a list of improvements to be made 'en-masse'
Once these are done, we can let the site settle down again - then keep tweaking until we have reached a point where everyone agrees things are perfect!

I like:
+ fast!
+ nice subscription otions, including rss streams!
+ possibility to put lots of info in one's user profile
I miss:
* a "take me to the oldest unread post in this thread"-function
* to see who has started a thread without haveing to actually load that particular thread. At present, one can only see who's responsible for the latest post in each thread.
* when using the "unread posts/threads" function, one can't see which sub-forums the listed threads belong to.
* forum navigation control at the bottom of each page
* the extended forum tools (those seen on the right side of the page when entering the forum, for example "view unread posts" etc) when I'm viewing a thread
I don't like:
- that the user info area (to the left of each post) is too wide. I'd downsize it to 50-60 % abut keep the width of the actual posts like they are now. I don't maximise my browser windows, and the forum is now a little bit too wide for my preferred browser window width. I guess this isn't a problem for those who maximises their browser windows ;)
- that my linebreaks don't seem to work (I use Safari).
Why is the page not full size ? I mean the blue lines
gr Eric
and where is the botton underneath the page to go back to the forum ??
do jou already have a headache Lee?
I agree with Henrik on these two points....

Especially the first. If they can be done I'd be a happy bunny.
