So, what's your opinion of the new forums?
« on: December 19, 2004, 08:48:05 AM »
Of course, as I mentioned, I will be making additional changes and some minor upgrades.  Most notably, the forums are in the "default" color scheme, so that will be the biggest/most notable change I will be making soon though others will also be coming.

Before you give your opinion, please take a few minutes to browse around and familiarize yourself with some of the new features.

Try posting...  
Look at/use the links up top...
Browse around some of the posts...
Check out the calendar and mini-calendar...
Etc...

Post your opinions, questions, etc...  here.

Thanks!

Looks good, Jason.

To me, it seems like the rank pictures are too large and that they kind of overshadow the avatars.  If avatars can only be 80x80, (Which I think is a good size) it seems like the ranks should be smaller.

One of my favorite things about the old AA forums was the Active Topics page.  Is there one for this forum?  I can't seem to find it...

Yes, I also Loved the active topics page.  Otherwise I will be picking and hunting for new posts and topics all the time :wink:    I also agree with Matt, the rank picts are nice but are too large.

I'd like a smaller rank size, and an easier way to access active topics. Other than that, I like the new design.

i agree with the smaller rank avatar. i liked the old format better, but becuase this is PHBB2 it will be more reliable(i think). I'm sure we'll all get used to it soon.

The color scheme needs to be changed and the rank pic needs to be smaller, but other than that it's great! :o

Thanks.

Yes, there's an "Active Topics" link - a few of you have found it already.  It's called "View posts since last visit" and it is found in the top right-hand area.  I'll probably tweak it a bit.

I will also make the ranks smaller - I agree that they are a bit too large.

Also, as already stated, the forum *look* will change (eg - new colors).

EDIT -

Can you make it so we can dictate the pixel size of our avatars?  Mine looks silly at 69x80 :P

How about a "Quick Reply" field at the bottom along with "Quick Preview"?
