Forum setup treating you ok?

What do you guys think about the way the forums are setup right now?
I removed the descriptions to give it a cleaner look, and the titles are pretty selfexplanatory anyway. And as you can see we are using subforums now and attachments appear to be working now. There is a limit of how big images can be in dimensions since the php extension that creates thumbnails is a big buggy. Dimensions up to 1100x900 seems to work fine though.
The file size limit is pretty generous but please only use it if you have to since I have only set aside 300 Mb for this.

Having just taken a quick peek, I think it looks quite good... I miss the link to the first unread post in an existing thread though (in the "view posts since last visit" query results...).

Yes, I just noticed it isn't there anymore. I'm gonna have to add that again.

Hi Sol77,

When I select the Dungeon Siege 2 Discussion topic, the subtopic ( on spoilers) appears at the top of the page, shouldn't this be the other way round, because at present the name of last poster in the right hand column is the one from the spoiler subtopic, which doesn't really reflect the general title Dungeon Siege 2 Discussion..?

Thanks for your efforts - I'm sorry if it appears that I'm posting everywhere at the moment - I have no wish to dominate the site in any way - I do hope that more members join, I'd prefer to be among the crowd - perhaps I'd better curb my enthusiasm for a while...

BTW, the Moderator Team looks first class - STD is certainly taking GPG to task... well done - things can only get better!

Good call.

That's a template issue. I guess the author of the template wanted it that way, but it is a bit confusing.
I'm working on finding a better template that I can modify to better match the frontpage.

Don't worry about your posts. I enjoy reading them and I'm sure others do as well.
And there are other posters as well. I'm sure there will be more soon as people have some new ideas to present.

The forum Header, "Faq | Search |..." should probably have a link to "Home" -- though perhaps the homepage should be overhauld first Wink

The fugly cousin hidden away in a closet...

It will be overhauled. Right now I'm working on getting us some space for downloads. Frontpage is next step.
Gonna get some extra help soon so we can get a more useful frontpage. ^^

:yahoo: Dance :dance2:

Thanks!

You are welcome. Smile

Also moved the links to "Mark all forums read" and "Mark all topics read" to below the forums/topics. Made more sense to me.

Balderstrom's picture

I dunno, if the "mark all topics as read" needs to be at the bottom it could at least be on the right hand side instead of left...
And all the other "clickables" are at the top, "new posts since last visit" etc.

It makes more sense to me to have it available once you have gone through the available topics or forums. But maybe it is better to have it on the right side. I just chose left side since that is what I'm used to with other forums.

Hi Sol,
..the DS1 Mod Development topic's subtitle - says DS2 instead of DS1...

BUDA-BUDA-BUDA-BUDA!!
...Aaaaaaargh!!
...H - H - He got me on da edit, ma...!!

(Thump! ... as Blondin hits the deck!) :gangster:

What, where? I don't see it. Uhmm... oops. Smile

umm, I've noticed that when you're in the Dungeon Siege 1/ Siegelets/Mageworld topic..
- and you click on the Mageworld in the masthead, the whole world goes - woosh!
- now, is that me, or is it just the ale...? :silly:

..it's definitely the ale! :whistling:

Dear Sir,
I wish to make a complaint - every time I come here, it feels like I've been here before...
Unless something is done immediately and forthwith, I shall no alternative but to stop stealing hubcaps..
And why does the postman keep grinning at me?

All that should do is reload the MW forum. What do you mean it goes woosh?

Lol. Say what? Maybe you are starting to feel at home? Smile

I would like to see a link to the topic you watch in the url bar, this would make it a little more easy to link to a topic..

Sharkull's picture

This is a minor thing... but when reading a thread and I want to post a reply, I sometimes find myself clicking the "New Topic" button instead ( :oops: they're right beside each other... lower left on the page). I might suggest that the "Post Reply" button be alone in the bottom left, and the "New Topic" button be removed from that location... perhaps having it only at the top... :?:

I HATE IT ALL!

Just kidding. Wonderful. 100 times better than the "old" look. I salute sol and the other admin's I forgot. Cool

Sharkull - I think it can be removed. If you want to post a new topic you might as well do it from a forum and not a thread. Good idea.

LoneKnight - thanks.

Anytime, mate. Hell'uva lot better methinks.

- hey Sol,

I love the new portal entry - looks really smart!!

.. at the moment the Forum link in the headline calls up the Stats page..

- is this just a temporary-type glitchy thingy...? Smile

- 'twas no-one..

It's an "odd" feature.. it is set to display a completely different page, namely the forums.. Will be fixed.

Sol77 moves in mysterious ways... :phew:

..ha. ha! :catch:
