What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
What needs to change/improve?
We've added
* Youtube/Media links
* Profile on left-hand side
* Expanded width of forum.
Comments heard so far:
* Make it even wider (Malcolm)
* Clicking on entire thread, not just the thread URL
* Easier pop-up / way to enter URL information
Quick reply seems inconsistent. Is that everywhere or just some forums?

It's not me, it's someone else.
Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
I've started fixing "Quick Reply." I fixed it in 5-or-so forums last night then got tired of doing it, planning on finishing it today or whenever.

It's still narrower to me than the old forum. Zoomed in to 110% on the browser makes it better, but isn't ideal i guess.
Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
If you're accepting cosmetic suggestions, I prefer the sharp corners and complete grid-lines of the old board to the new, softer, 'rounded-everywhere' look. It suits, somehow.
And the dtman logo instead of phpBB. Gotta have that.

Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
I was looking into that last night, and it isn't as easy as on the old board where there was a setting to just change the path of the logo... at least not that I could find in 10 minutes. But I'm working on that.Alhazad wrote:And the dtman logo instead of phpBB. Gotta have that.

Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
Cool, i finally stumbled upon the new forum! I was on the other forum and thinking, damn its been really dead hear lately..
WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
The logo up there is stored here: http://dtman.com/forum3/styles/prosilve ... e_logo.gif
Just changing the file at that location will likely do the trick. Be sure to use the same height-to-width ratio or it might squeeze it.
EDIT: Alternately you could change the filename/location in the first global entry in this file: http://dtman.com/forum3/styles/prosilve ... ageset.css

Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
Should I add a new forum, "Health and Fitness?" We have two threads running that are basically the same thing. We could have a lifting thread, a swimming thread, a weight loss thread... a thread for different kinds of diets... a stupid-people-at-the-gym thread, and a thread about how much elderly people suck and need to be rounded up and put into camps.

Don't forget a thread about refusing to exercise and eating your way into an early grave. I'll post in that one.

Unless anyone can think of any objections, I'll kill the old forum next time I have the leisure to do so.

Might as well watch it crash and burn as the server gets updated.

Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
I don't like how the stickied threads are at the top, not segregated from other posts in the section.
A simple solution would be to unsticky the unnecessary ones.
I sound like Jim Crow segregationist turned Nazi.

Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
I agree, it's be nice if the stickied posts were separated.
Also, Submit should be default button (tab-space), not the preview stuff

Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
I'm noticing that the oldest posts in the General forum are less than a year old. What happened there?

Re: What new forum (phpbb) things need changing?
The oldest threads I see were last replied in 2009. You see more than 18 pages of posts? I can see over 60 pages in Internet Links.
